The Most Hotly Anticipated TVs of 2020: A Look at the Future of Display Technology
In the world of display technology, there's always something new and exciting on the horizon. This year is no exception, with several brands bringing their most innovative and awe-inspiring TVs to market. From ultra-high refresh rates and 21:9 aspect ratios to OLED and mini LED displays, these TVs are pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
Ultra High Refresh Rates and 21:9 Aspect Ratio - A Premium Gaming Experience
One thing that's set to make a big impact this year is ultra-high refresh rates and 21:9 aspect ratio. These features are perfect for gamers who want an immersive experience without sacrificing any visual fidelity. In fact, spending twice as much on an ultra-premium gaming monitor when there's a gorgeous TV available might just be the way forward. After all, TVs have become increasingly capable of handling display needs that were previously exclusive to monitors.
LG's Gallery Series OLEDs - A Design Masterclass
LG's Gallery series OLEDs are a design masterclass. These TVs offer a 15mm thickness, which is remarkably thin considering they're full array local dimming TVs. The result is a perfectly uniform slab of image with practically zero bezel and no black matrix around the edge, making for an immersive viewing experience like no other.
Samsung's Q950 or Q950TS - A TV that's Hard to Believe
The Samsung Q950 or Q950TS is a feat of TV engineering that's hard to believe. This TV is only 15mm thick, which puts it firmly in OLED territory. How did Samsung manage this? The answer is simple: they've perfected the art of local dimming. The result is a TV with practically zero image retention and a level of contrast that's simply breathtaking.
TCL's Mini LED 6 Series - A Game-Changer
TCL is just crushing it when it comes to display technology, and their latest mini LED 6 series TV is no exception. This TV puts pressure on other manufacturers who are still playing catch-up with the technology. But what makes TCL's mini LED so special? It's not just the brightness and color accuracy - it's also the ability to create a level of image quality that's closer to OLED than anything we've seen before from an LCD-based TV.
Vizio xOLED and the Rise of Competition in OLED
The arrival of Vizio's xOLED is a game-changer for the OLED market. Along with budget TV brands like Conca and premium OLED maker Philips, Vizio is bringing competition to LG and Sony, two brands that have long dominated the high-end OLED segment. This means that consumers are going to benefit from a wider range of options at different price points, making OLED more accessible than ever.
Vizio P Series Quantum X - A Premium LCD Segment Rival
Vizio's P series quantum X is also having a profound impact on the premium LCD segment. With its highest brightness and most local dimming zones found in any TV in 2020, this TV is putting pressure on Samsung and Sony to up their game. But what sets Vizio apart from the competition? It's not just the technical specs - it's also their new picture processor, which has been in development for four years.
Sony's New TVs - A Slight Alteration on Last Year's Models
At CES, Sony showed off some new TVs that are sure to excite. While they're not exactly market-shifting, they do offer a few subtle improvements over last year's models. The problem is, none of the TVs that Sony brought on stage had full spec HDMI 2.1 - something that would have made them truly stand out from the crowd.
Sony's A9s and the Waiting Game
So what about Sony's new A9s? Well, it seems like this TV is still under development, at least for now. But don't worry - Sony will bring it to market eventually, and we can only imagine how amazing it will be. As always, we'll have to wait until April or May for the latest TVs to roll out, but one thing's for sure: Sony's got a secret up their sleeve that they're not sharing just yet.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en2020 is going to be an awesome year for TVs I'm pretty excited if you couldn't tell in fact I've already picked what I think will be the best TVs of this year hey everybody I'm Caleb Denison for digital trans and now that the dust has settled and I've watched that a Vegas smell out of my clothes I'm realizing that this year's CES was very different for TV's sure we got some of those pie-in-the-sky concept TVs like Samsung's ridiculous 292 inch wall but more of this year's TVs than ever before are not only TVs that you might actually buy but they redefined the industry here are my predictions on what will be the best TVs and most important TVs of the year let's start with LG's 48 inch CX 4 C 10 OLED sure LG's roll up and roll down o LEDs got lots of headlines and TV coverage but it's the new C 10 OLED that I think is the more groundbreaking TV at 48 inches this TV does more to blur the line between TV and gaming monitor than anything we've seen before it'll fit on your desktop it's got all the essential gaming monitor features like low input lag variable refresh rate high frame rate while also giving us the amazing picture quality that comes from a TV with a dedicated TV processor all that in like truly impressive HDR to boot in fact other than ultra high refresh rates and 21 by 9 aspect ratio I don't know why you would spend twice as much on an ultra premium gaming monitor when this gorgeous TV is going to serve just about every display need you might have also a shout out to LG's gallery series o LEDs which from a design perspective look really awesome next up is Samsung's Q 950 or Q 950 TS this is a TV you have to see to believe the Q 950 TS is a feat of TV engineering it's only 15 millimeters thick which has it treading firmly into OLED territory on the fitness front at least I honestly don't know how they did it I mean how is this a full array local dimming TV besides all that though it's got practically zero bezel and no black matrix around the edge so it's 99% image that has a really interesting effect it's this perfectly uniform kind of slab up on the wall with no discernible edge and it's a design that I really dig now we got to talk about TCL's mini LED 6 series TV TCL honestly is just crushing it right now I mean it was the first to bring a mini LED TV to the market last year with its premium 8 Series but it's not keeping that tech for its top tier the vaunted 6 Series will be getting mini LED tech this year and that's just like really gracious if you ask me it also puts a ton of pressure on other manufacturers who right now only have mini LED in their prototype stages I saw LG had one and so did Vizio but here TCL is going into its second generation and spreading the love down to an extremely affordable level and as if that wasn't groundbreaking enough TCL has already figured out how to juice up mini LED and make it even better TCL calls it vid rien and we don't know if this is going to be the new 8th series TV or if it'll get called something else and it doesn't really matter the tech is going to be in a TV in 2020 and it'll be brighter more colorful and closer to OLED than anything we've seen before from an LCD based TV next up is Vizio x' OLED and the reason I think that Vizio OLED is so important is that it along with budget TV brands Conca and premium OLED maker Philips are bringing some serious competition to LG and Sony when brands compete consumers win and that means more affordable o LEDs across the board I expect the Vizio OLED to stand right up next to LG and Sony and Philips in terms of picture quality but the price should be lower at least if Vizio you know keeps going with their value proposition this means we have a good better and best situation in OLED with Vizio making the most sense for a huge customer base on the other side of things we have the Vizio P series quantum X and what Vizio is doing to the OLED market it's also doing to the premium LCD segment the P series quantum X is supposed to offer the highest brightness and the most local dimming zones found in any TV in 2020 and that's going to put a lot of pressure on Samsung and Sony again Vizio is bringing some much-needed competition in the space and its new picture processor which has been in development for four years now looks extremely promising from what I saw now you might be wondering why is there no only TV on this list well that's because well Sony made some cool design changes and brought its excellent ultimate ship to less expensive models the new TVs it showed at CES are really slight alterations on last year's TVs and none of them have full spec hdmi 2.1 now that isn't to say that the tvs that they bring aren't going to be gorgeous because they will be they always are but they aren't market shifting TVs now I will say if the new a 9s and that'll be Sony's version of LG's 48 inch OLED if that had been on the show floor and I could have actually seen it that might be something different but that TV as far as I could tell is still under development don't worry though Sony is gonna bring it this year I just think it's keeping some secrets that it might reveal come April or May when new TV start rolling out so that's my list of the most hotly anticipated TVs of 2020 of course I could get surprised later this year in fact I'd be just fine with that but for now I think these are the TVs to watch in the coming months everybody thanks for watching what do you think of the list did I miss anything leave a comment down below also
