A browser’s dream. When it comes to affordable 4K TVs, the TCL 4 series has developed a dedicated following, and for two very good reasons. The first is its incredible image quality, with its 4K Ultra HD picture clarity. The other is its built-in Roku TV platform (a serious competitor to Apple TV for managing apps and streaming) that gives you access to streaming channels with over half a million movies and TV shows to view. The 4 Series provides visuals in ultra-high definition: This means that you’ll be able to spot even the tiniest details (the space between hairs, for example) in brilliant uninterrupted images. Also, TCL has pumped up this TV with Dolby Digital Plus speakers. And the built-in the Roku is a navigational dream; no lags and just the right amount of info to browse with. All your favorites are here: HBO Max, Huly, Disney +, Netflix, Amazon; you get the picture. And if your Smart Home is wired to Google Assistant or Alexa, this TV will become a navigational tool for your entire home.
A showpiece that performs. Size is not everything, but with a 4K TV it can make a great difference—but only when that size is backed up by a stunning picture that can handle the surface area. Well there’s no worries with the LG UM6900PUA 4K TV. Its quad-core processor is dual-designed: On the one hand it provides the very best images, motion, and color; on the other, it reduces distracting video noises and blur. It’s a 4K dream team. Built-in, there’s also support for Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, which not only makes this TV smart, but very smart, and convenient as well, allowing you to connect through your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices to control your TV — and the rest of your home. Once you’re in the driver’s seat, LG’s webOS platform gives you access to 70 free premium internet channels, as well as the best streaming services: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime, you name it. It also supports Apple AirPlay, Apple AirPlay 2, Miracast, and SmartShare — so your devices will pair in less than in an instant.

YouTube TV did 4K sports right — so maybe it’s time to cancel it
Let us stipulate a few things: When it comes to video, higher resolution is better. Sure, there are diminishing returns — I wouldn't go out and buy an 8K television just yet. But going from 720p to 1080p is a huge leap in quality. Maybe a little less so when you go from 1080p to 4K, but that's also very much going to depend on your circumstances — television size, what room you're in, etc.
And one more stipulation: 4K for World Cup 2022 was pretty much a necessity. If you've ever watched live sports in 4K, you probably already knew that. FuboTV has had some live sports for years now, and YouTube TV — which is the most popular live service in the U.S., and more than five times larger than FuboTV with more than 5 million subscribers at last count — has had it as an option since the summer of 2021. You also could watch in 4K via the Fox Sports app, provided that you already had a subscription to a cable, satellite, or streaming service.

The least interesting things about the new Apple TV 4K
It's a big deal whenever Apple announces new products. OK, maybe not in the global scheme of things, but in our little world here, every sentence of every word of every press release is going to be scrutinized. Things that aren't a big deal are going to be turned into headlines. Blog. Blog. Blog.
And that's true again in the case of the latest Apple TV 4K, which will be available for everyone starting November 4. It is, for all intents and purposes, the same as the old one. It's better, sure. It's a little less expensive, which is great. It's almost certainly still the best streaming device you can buy. But the features that are getting the headlines? That's folks reaching for something to celebrate.
