Readers’ Choice
Samsung F8000
Congratulations to Samsung for being our Reader’s Choice this year with its awesome 8-Series Smart TVs!
Editor’s Pick
Sony 65-Inch XBR 4K Ultra HD TV
Sure, other manufacturers might have had better smart hubs and catch up content on their TVs, but at the end of the day, it’s the quality of the image, the price of the panel and the technology you pay for that counts. The Sony XBR 4K TVs had it all in spades.
Not only is it a beautiful, now sub-$5000 4K TV, it’s incredibly smart and very well built. The speakers for example face forward, unlike most panels which have speakers built facing down. The XBR speakers also rely on magnetic fluid to drive bigger sound and better bass, while cushioning and cooling the driver.
Not to mention the awesome image engine tech that eventually trickled down into Sony’s awesome line of mobile products this year like the Sony Xperia Z1 and Tablet Z.
Congratulations to Sony on the win!
Honourable Mention
• Samsung F8000
Beauty should know no borders, and from the looks of the Samsung F8000, that was exactly the brief they were given. It’s a gorgeous LED TV with incredible image quality and an unparalleled Smart Hub which offers content ranging from YouTube right through to catch-up Foxtel content. Bravo, Samsung.
