Our selection of TVs and video projectors – Christmas buying guide
In recent years, LED televisions have established themselves on the French market. These TVs have LED-based technology. This technology, the most widespread, offers homogeneous and contrasted lighting. But OLED TVs have a much better rate than LED TVs and perfect blacks.
The editorial team chose two 43-inch TVs at the entry level. LED screens have the advantage of being affordable while remaining efficient. For the mid-range and high-end, the dimensions vary, as do panels or LEDs with QLED technology or even OLED panels, which are the best in terms of image quality.
