Five televisions to see life in a big way during confinement

5 large screen televisions for containment -

• Without being able to go out to the cinema, the theater or a concert, the re-containment risks sitting us for long hours in front of our televisions.

• While the first confinement had boosted sales of screens, the opening period will undoubtedly be an opportunity for many to also equip themselves with a new screen, or even a larger screen.

• Philips, TCL, Sony, Panasonic and Samsung offer models with a good size / performance / price ratio.

Containment, season 2. Sales of televisions had experienced a strong rebound in France during the first confinement.

LED, QLED, OLED… at a time when long winter evenings are looming at home, buying a new screen for entertainment, but also to take your mind off things, can make sense.

“20 Minutes” has identified five televisions for you which, from 43 inches to 85 inches, will offer you a quality of image suitable for escape with a good quality / price ratio.

Philips, The One: immersion up to 70 inches

With “The One”, Philips found a simple concept.

That of a complete and efficient Android TV, clear about the integrated technologies, and suitable for all uses.

Nerve of war: image quality.

For this, “The One” embeds the brand's P5 processor.

It is he who manages the processing of video content and manages it well.

The P5 is truly a benchmark in its field.

HDR10 +, HLG, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, the TV spec sheet is also made for entertainment.

The Philips One TV plays the performance / price ratio card.

As for the Ambilight process (the real-time backlighting of the back of the television with the colors displayed on the screen), this contributes to a greater immersion of the viewer, the image seeming to escape the screen.

Google Assistant is on board, but the device can also be paired with Amazon's Alexa.

The TV is available in 43 '', 50 '' and 58 '' with swivel stand.

At 65 '' its foot is fixed and central.

In 70 '', it rests on two side legs.

Note that Philips has been able to adapt these different media to the potential presence of a sound bar that can slide just under the screen.

TCL Serie C71: the quality / price ratio is obvious

TCL has a knack for offering televisions that are more accessible than many others.

The QLED C71 series of the Chinese manufacturer is proof of this, which here offers 50 '', 55 '' and 65 '' Android TVs whose quality / price ratio can appeal to many buyers.

The design “jumps out” first of all, with very thin devices.

On the screen, QLED technology is then called up.

Nothing to do with OLED: QLED relies on LCD TVs with LED backlighting.

But in addition, they integrate nanocrystals of different sizes.

When excited by light, these crystals emit a wavelength.

This corresponds to a color.

With its Serie C71, TCL knows how to keep its prices tight.

On arrival, bright and more contrasted images than with simple LCD LED televisions.

TCL also equips its C71 Series with HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

Google Assistant is on board.

As for Amazon Alexa, it will be necessary to graft an Echo speaker to the television so that it can be operational.

Sony XH90: ready for new game consoles

Displaying a 4K panel (3840 x 2160 pixels), this Android LCD LED TV is one of the great opportunities of the moment in terms of image quality.

True to its reputation, Sony delivers a device with exemplary visual rendering, whose 120 Hz panel benefits from a Full LED backlighting system.

This provides excellent contrast, but it obviously does not equal that of an OLED TV.

Full LED adds contrast to the Sony XH90 TV screen.

Perfect companion for the new PlayStation 5 console, the device which is HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision is also “Netflix Calibrated”.

This is an approval guaranteeing as faithful an image reproduction as possible of the content of the streaming platform.

From 65 inches, the television benefits from an improved sound experience with the addition of two speakers in its base, but also two tweeters positioned at the rear.

When listening, the sound thus benefits from a greater amplitude, with more centered voices.

Very expensive in large size, its quality / price ratio in 55 '' / 140 cm.

Panasonic, TX-HX970E: while waiting for a sound bar

Available in 49 '' and 55 '' (124 and 139 cm), this 4K LED LCD television takes care of its images with HDR10, HDR10 +, HLG and Dolby Vision compatibility.

The total !

Clearly dedicated to cinema fans, the device is also Dolby Atmos.

Compatible content (games, 4K Blu-ray, certain films on Netflix and Amazon Prime) benefit from exemplary sound reproduction.

However, we regret that the beautiful visual score of the television does not find more echo for the audio.

The addition of a sound bar or an audio set will remain to be preferred so that the show is truly complete.

The TV can be operated with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Little more: a rotating stand, a rare commodity on large screens.

Samsung 65Q83T: QLED quality at a competitive price

Big show enthusiasts will be at the party with this 65 '' QLED TV, or 164 cm diagonal.

Its backlighting is based on the principle of

 : only the areas of the screen that require it are lit.

The purpose of this process is to boost contrasts, with the LEDs covering the back of the panel in zones only being lit where necessary.

4K (3840 x 2160 pixels), the device is HDR, HDR10 and HLG compatible but does without Dolby Vision.

Still, he knows how to assert himself for the distribution of cinema films, but also for video games.

An HDM 2.1 input is also suitable for Ultra HD 120 Hz content from latest generation consoles.

The device benefits from the provision of a robust audio configuration with an RMS power of 80 watts distributed over 6 speakers, including two

20 watts

is supposed to offer audio tracking of moving objects, but unfortunately it is hardly convincing.
