With the arrival of PS5 and Xbox Series X, now’s a good time to upgrade your TV. In this video, Rich describes the two key technologies in today’s TV market – OLED and LCD – and the advantages and disadvantages of both. Also: how bigger is better in the living room, plus all of the key technologies delivered by HDMI 2.1 – 4K 120Hz, ALLM and perhaps the most crucial of all – VRR, variable refresh rate. Oh, and how about 8K? Yes, we look at that too, powered by the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090.
