LG C1 OLED

A TV built for the internet age, LG's C1 OLED is designed to get you watching what you want as easily and quickly as possible. Equipped with LG's WebOS operating system and working in conjunction with LG's ThinQ technology, the LG C1 OLED presents users with all their best options right on boot up, from live TV to an app list of streaming favorites (Apple TV, Netflix, Twitch, YouTube and so, so many more) to algorithmically selected features that your TV thinks you may like—an AI-generated list of "Top Picks" that will only grow more personalized as you watch. As for selecting your programming, you have a variety of options, too. Owners can opt for the classic remote experience or go with voice control. A third option is LG's Magic Remote, a device that allows users to simply point and click on the apps, movies or programs they want to view. And it's not just in content curation and selections where the C1 flexes its smarts. The C1's α9 Gen4 AI Processor 4K recognizes the type of feature you are watching and automatically optimizes its substantial specs to present the best possible picture, be it film, animation or other.

The LG C1 OLED is available in 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 83-inch varieties, with prices ranging from $1,099 to $4,999, depending on size.

Samsung Neo OLED TV

_Samsung

Minimal. Massive. Mesmerizing. The sleek (read: near bezel-free) Samsung Neo QLED 8K Smart TV may be the most beautiful screen you can have in your home—when it's on or off. But, better still, it pairs that unparalleled beauty with some serious brains. Like the LG model above, the Neo comes with a range of apps available on startup so users can easily navigate to their preferred streaming service—but even better than the apps is the Tap, or, rather, Tap View, which allows owners to instantly transfer what is on their smart device (movie, series, yoga) directly to their TV with a single tap device to screen. The Neo also offers a Multi View option, allowing users to split their screen between, say the big game and their Twitter feed, so they can participate in the online conversation as they watch events live. And it's not just on the screen where the Neo shows off its smarts. The TV comes equipped with SpaceFit Sound sensors that automatically detect where you have placed the TV in your room and adjust the sound output accordingly.

The Samsung Neo OLED TV comes in 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch varieties and ranges from $3,299 to $5,499, depending on size.

Samsung Sero

Our second Samsung entry is the screen built for the smart phone super user. Why? Because it swivels. Yes, that's right, the Samsung Sero, which is also equipped with Tap View, automatically rotates from landscape to portrait view as you turn your phone (and back again when you flip it horizontally). The Sero's mobile-optimized mirroring means that whether you are watching TikToks or playing Wordle you'll have a high fidelity, seamless experience on the Sero. But the Sero does more than offer the ideal smartphone screen experience. Compatible with just about every A.I. assistant (Google, Amazon, Bixby), the Sero can serve as your smart-home hub, allowing you to control your abode's many connected devices via voice command.

The Samsung Sero is available for $999.

_Xgimi

Film fans who have been longing for a superior streaming experience, Xgimi has your answer. The Xgimi Aura is a short throw projector capable of casting ultra-crisp, high-def 4k imagery on up to a 150-inch screen (or wall) without requiring a lot of room from the homeowner (provided they have a decent-sized wall). In addition to providing theater quality imagery—and a solid sound system by Harman / Kardon—the Aura knows that it wouldn't be useful if projecting remained a hassle. That's why the device comes equipped with Android TV 10.0, allowing owners to quickly and easily stream their favorite flicks, new releases and more from over 5000 apps, including HBO Max, Disney+, YouTube, Netflix and more.

The Xgimi Aura 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector is available for $2,499.
