If you wanted to use Christmas as an excuse to splurge on a television, then go all the way with the exceptional Sony Z9D 4K TV.

The 65-inch LED TV has HDR (High Dynamic Range) onboard so there is even more detail and colour accuracy so 4K content looks spectacular.

The Z9D is powered by the Android operating system which offers an easy way to navigate the features and find online content.

LG 65-INCH B6T 4K OLED – $5895

LG has stood out from the competition with its OLED screen technology which produces the blackest blacks, stunning colour and Dolby Vision – a souped-up version of HDR – that offers jaw-dropping picture quality.

And add 4K resolution to the equation and you’ll have a TV that you won’t be able to take your eyes off.

LASER BD3000 MULTI-REGION DVD/BLU-RAY PLAYER – $99.95

With Laser’s BD3000 it is not only affordable but can also play DVDs and Blu-ray Discs from any region if you purchase them from overseas.

And not only can you watch your discs but also access other content that’s on your network plus play content from a USB drive as well.

READ TECH GUIDE’S LASER BD3000 REVIEW

THE SHALLOWS 4K DISC

Starring Blake Lively, The Shallows is a harrowing story about a visit to a special beach on a holiday that goes horribly wrong.

It involves a rather large shark and a lot of tense moments. Makes the shark in Jaws look like a goldfish.

JASON BOURNE 4K DISC

Matt Damon is back on board as one of his most famous characters – the super spy with amnesia. But this time out, he knows who is and who he wants to get square with.

Lots of amazing stunts and close combat along with a stellar support cast including Alicia Vikander and Tommy Lee Jones.

4kmovies2

WAR DOGS 4K DISC

This story about two twenty somethings in Miami that become international arms dealers is incredible and what’s more amazing is that it’s a true story.

Excellent performances by Jonah Hill and Miles Teller as the business partners that get in way above their heads.

GOODFELLAS 4K DISC

Arguably one of the best gangster movies ever made, Goodfellas looks better than ever on 4K.

Martin Scorsese’s movie is a classic and stars Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci.
