In that regard, any of thebest TVsin our guide are worthy of consideration. Your choice comes to exactly how you want to use it and the unique features you desire. Gamers will be looking for that refresh rate, purists for the colour space and contrast, while those looking to future-proof might be considering 8K resolution.

This lighting is known asAmbilighttechnology and features on a number of Philips TVs, though similar effects can be achieved usingSamsung’s ambient light module,Nanoleaftiles or aPhilips HueBloom table lamp.
The beauty of the Philips Ambilight TVs is that they already come with the LEDs on the rear of the TV, and don’t require you to buy accessories or any form of complicated light syncing – it just works out of the box.
I got to experience Ambilight in full effect for the launch of the newPhilips OLED+908this week and was amazed at just how that halo of colour synced to those on screen can really amplify the experience – and how dull it suddenly looks when you turn the lights off.
It’s not just limited to the TV either. Now there are surround sound speakers that also offer Ambilight, allowing you to bathe up the whole room with the synced ambient lighting.

Although the flagship Ambilight models, like the Philips OLED+907 and the Philips OLED 937 command a premium price tag, the technology is also available on models likePhilips' The One, which you can pick up in the 55-inch size forunder £550 at Currys.
I can guarantee that once you’re used to having Ambilight tech behind your screen you’ll never want to be without it.
