Best TVs to enjoy the World Cup in glorious 4K, reviewed by a tech expert

From Mini LED, QLED, HDR and OLED, these are the best ones to buy - (Steve May/The Independent)

The World Cup is well underway, and if you're hating having to squint at a tiny, ageing TV while trying to watch Bellingham score goal after spectacular goal, it might be time for an upgrade. Today's TVs are bigger, brighter, sharper and smarter than ever, making this the perfect excuse to finally say goodbye to that grainy old flatscreen.

While most modern TVs all look the same, boasting a slim silhouette, the technology behind the screen is very different. LED TVs are the best option if you’re on a budget, but spend a little more and you can get a Mini LED TV, which uses more advanced backlighting to deliver higher brightness and improved contrast. Then there are QLED sets, which boast a Quantum Dot layer for richer, more vibrant colours, making football pitches look lush and blockbuster films lifelike.
