Just don’t forget to measure up, as you’ll want to take into account the size of your room and how far you’ll be sat from the TV to ensure that the style you buy isn’t too big for the space it’s in.

But you don’t have to shell out the cash for the biggest TV on the market to enjoy the immersive sound and display quality OLED evo has to offer. For smaller spaces and budgets, a 55-inch smart TV can still provide the impeccable clarity and image performance you need to compliment your favourite sporting events
