We are constantly updating our TV database. The January update adds 25 new TVs, for example from Philips, Panasonic and Sony. In addition, for the first time in a long time we have tested TVs from Metz and Loewe. The picture quality of the new models ranges from very good to satisfactory, while the sound quality of several models is only adequate. It's worth comparing!
