Best TVs 2013


What is the best TV to buy? If you are planning to upgrade, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s a bedroom-friendly 32-inch TV or a 60-inch full HD plasma primed for watching the football, there’s plenty to choose from.


Screen size and super slim bezels aside, there’s some other key factors you need to take into consideration when buying a new TV. Do you want something that plays 3D content? Is it the right time to buy a 4K TV? Which TV will let you watch iPlayer? Will it actually fit in the living room?


Once you’ve answered those questions, you then have to weigh up whether the likes of Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic and Toshiba offer the best cutting-edge proprietary screen and audio technology. Is the Samsung Smart TV platform the best for accessing online content like Facebook and Netflix? Does Sony’s Triluminos colour system really offer a more vibrant place to watch Blu-ray movies?


All are important factors that could be the difference between paying £5,000 or £500 for a TV that truly fits. So if talk of LED, dynamic contrast ratios and refresh rates leave the mind boggled, we’ve done the hard work for you.


Looking back at the TV reviews that scored top marks, we’ve picked the ten best TVs to buy in 2013.
