The latest company to join the battle to be the best OLED TV is JVC – it's announced new 55-inch and 65-inch OLED sets with some great specs considering the brand is better known for more budget TV options these days. But the new JVC VO9100 OLED TVs will include Dolby Vision HDR, plus HDMI 2.1 with Auto Low Latency Mode and 4K 120Hz support – the last of those is great news if you want a TV to go with your PS5 or Xbox Series X, both of which support 4K 120fps gaming.

And given JVC's recent history of making wallet-friendly TVs, these features could come at a lower price than some of the competition, though the office price hasn't been confirmed yet – the TVs are set to go on-sale by the end of November, according to FlatPanelsHD. 

So what's the downside? Well, at the moment, they're only going on-sale in Europe, and that initial roll-out will exclude the UK, Nordics and France. So no English regions in the immediate future.

The delay in some of these countries might also be down to getting the right smart TV platform in – such as enabling Freeview Play in the UK.
