Sony TAV-L1


One of Sony?s latest and greatest designs is the upcoming TAV-L1 all-in-one home theatre system. What makes this system unique is the way it integrates a high-definition 32-inch LCD television into its setup.

The TAV-L1 has a motorized unit that houses the audio components of the system and which, at the touch of a button, slides down to reveal the 32? LCD flat panel HDTV. This integrated flat panel display offers viewers a 1366 x 768 resolution, among other features.

The audio unit of the TAV-L1 houses a variety of features and technologies to help home entertainment lovers get the most of their experience. For starters, it includes an integrated slot loading DVD player, two vibration canceling subwoofers, a digital amplifier and front speaker virtual surround sound processing.

The integrated DVD player also supports a wide array of disc formats, including CD, SACD, SVCD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, JPEG and MP3 CD. This player, along with the rest of the TAV-L1?s various functions, is controlled via a supplied remote control which has a jog dial.

The TAV-L1, which weighs around 127 pounds and measures 33.75? x 42.125? x 18.375?, comes standard with a black speaker grill. Optional grill color choices to add a little more flair to the TAV-L1?s design include gray, burgundy, green, orange and silver.

The best Google TVs of 2023: from TCL, Sony, and Hisense
The TCL QM8 min-LED TV.

If it's time for a new TV in your home theater, you're probably already knee-deep in deciding on things like OLED versus QLED or asking yourself what the heck QD-OLED is. While that is important, don't overlook another big decision: which TV operating system you prefer.

The biggest TV brands such as like Samsung and LG have their own systems built-in (Tizen and webOS, respectively), which is fine. But if your sights are focused on TVs from other players like TCL, Hisense, and even Sony, you're likely looking at those that come with Google TV or Roku built-in (we also have a roundup of the best Roku TVs).

We gave this TV a perfect review, and it’s $700 off today

It's not every day that you can say that one of the best TVs on the market, if not the best, is on sale, but we're happy to report that's the case today. The Sony A95K QD-OLED TV has one of the best TV deals right now, bringing the price down to $2,798 from $3,500. That's a significant discount and perfect if you want to snatch one up before they all sell out.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Sony A95K QD-OLED TV
The Sony A95K QD-OLED TV has a lot going for it, but its biggest feature is the QD-OLED panel, and it's even the first TV on the market to have come out with one. So what is QD-OLED exactly? Well, it's a hybrid tech that mixes OLED technology with Quantum Dots. What this essentially means is that you get incredible brightness that lets the TV colors pop more than they would with any other panel type. But it's even more impressive than that, especially if you're a gamer or love to watch action-packed content, since the TV not only runs at 4k but also at a 120Hz refresh rate, which is pretty impressive. That means you can connect the best gaming PC to this TV and push even the best graphics cards as far as they go.
