It took a while, but we've reached the point where buying a big screen TV doesn't require taking out a second mortgage. Heck, even ginormous 98-inch TVs have fallen into reasonable territory—with current sales, you can get one for as little as $1,499.99 at Best Buy. Well, LG just said, 'Nah playa, forget that noise'...

So here's the thing, even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are officially in the rear view mirror (with record online spending this year, no less), it's not as though retailers are slowing down with the deluge of deals. And we don't mean crummy bargains that are largely bogus or otherwise not all that interesting...

We'll go ahead and say it—TCL is already winning Black Friday, or at least that is the case if you're in the market for a giant-sized TV with out a gargantuan price. While Black Friday is still officially a couple of weeks away, hardware brands and their retail partners are starting to dish up the savings, and TCL...

The television division of TCL is under the spotlight due to a Korean report purporting to show a few of its quantum dot televisions do not actually have any said quantum dots in them.

The last time Panasonic sold TVs in the United States around a decade ago, not long after it ceased production of plasma models. It's a far different landscape these days, both in terms of display technologies and features (as well as pricing), and now Panasonic is teaming up with Amazon (and also Costco, to an...

Back in the old days (think, CRT era), buying a TV was a relatively simple experience—just plug it in and call it a day. These days, however, modern televisions are more complex, capable, and connected than ever before, and like a PC or smartphone, they can benefit from timely software updates. Some good news on that...

One of the reasons someone might be inclined to plop a wad of cash on a giant television to upgrade their home theater in preparation for the big game—the Super Bowl.

If you're like me, then you're old enough to remember when big screen TVs were absolutely massive units with monstrous price tags to boot. Remember those unwieldy front projection models, followed by slightly sleeker but still bulky rear projection sets? TVs have come a long way, not only in form factor and...

The cream of the crop when it comes to widely available TV technology is still OLED, though it comes at a pricing premium compared to LCD and, in most cases, mini LED as well. However, OLED is much more affordable these days than it was just a few short years ago, a fact that's highlighted by LG's new B4 OLED TV...

At some point, micro LED technology has the potential to disrupt the TV display landscape by potentially dethroning OLED in image quality while completely avoiding OLED's biggest weaknesses, such as the risk of permanent image retention (burn-in). That point could be now if you're wealthy and willing to drop $110,000...

Driving this point home are some big savings that are up for grabs on several of Samsung's OLED TVs...

There are two premium display technologies competing for the attention of consumers, those being OLED and mini LED (you can throw micro LED into the mix as well, but it's not as widely adopted yet or remotely affordable).

You may not have noticed, but incredibly large TVs are coming within grasp of ordinary individuals rather than being relegated to those who scored big on Bitcoin, or otherwise amassed a fortune. No, we're not talking about 65-inch, 75-inch, or even 85-inch TVs, all of which no longer necessarily command a king's...

For a long time, the two main reasons to skip over OLED were prohibitively high prices and the risk of permanent image retention, otherwise known as burn-in. Over the past several years, however, TV makers and their retail partners have made strides to address both concerns—yes, the risk of burn-in still exists, but...

The NBA playoffs are just weeks away and same goes for the NHL, while opening day of the MLB season is not just days off in the distance.
