What’s the best TV of 2017? You decide at annual 4K Crampton & Moore HDTVTest shootout

2017 has seen some extraordinary TVs released, but which is the best. In the annual HDTV Test Shoot out, installers are invited to pass their opinion on the five hottest screens of the year, all professionally calibrated.

Held in association with AV retailer Cramption & Moore, the 65-inch screen comparison comprises an LG B7 OLED, Panasonic EZ952 OLED, Samsung Q9 QLED, Sony A1 OLED and Sony ZD9 LED LCD, a mixture of the best of this year’s models plus the top-rated screen of 2016.

All TVs are retail sets given adequate time to run in, before running a selection of video clips from 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and recorded terrestrial broadcasts. Attendees will be asked to rank the TVs from best to worst in the following categories: colour performance, colour accuracy, motion handling, video processing, HDR performance, bright room performance and gaming.  

Inside CI will be at the Crampton & Moore HDTVTest 2017 TV shootout event, which takes place on Sunday August 13 from 10.30am to 3.30pm at Harefield Academy, UB9 6ET. Attendance is free, but registration is required. To register, call 0113 244 6607 and ask for David Conner, or register online at the HDTVTest website.
