I am a very lucky guy: the best TV I've ever tested (and I've been reviewing TVs for 19 years) is also now the TV I use at home.
That TV is the Sony Bravia 8 II, and it really is as awesome to live with as I had expected.
Why, then, am I eyeing up another TV in the Amazon Prime Day sales?
Two reasons: I'd love to add an OLED to my spare room for gaming, and this deal is just too exceptional to pass up.
£649 at Richer Sounds (use code RSTV200 at checkout to get this price) is just unbelievable for a TV this good, and it takes it from a super-premium option that would have to be your main TV, to a good price to pay for a second room TV.
My plan for this 42-inch OLED is to use it as a gaming TV and a monitor for work.
Its gaming specs are impeccable: four HDMI 2.1 sockets that all fully support 4K/144Hz, 4K/120Hz, VRR and ALLM; a superbly implemented HGIG mode for super-accurate HDR in games; and a Dolby Vision gaming mode.
It's great as a monitor, too, with neat, user-created software available that enables monitor-style features such as auto-wake.
Even if you've no interest in gaming or productivity, though, the 42-inch C5 is awesome for TV shows and movies, with a really balanced and authentic performance that makes full use of OLED's perfect blacks and pixel-level contrast control.
Other than the limp sound (which I recommend solving with one of the best budget soundbars), this TV is great at everything it does, and I think it's just irresistible at this price.
