SOUND & VISION

Treats for the ears and the eyes – tech that will non-stop entertain you

£50 & UNDER

1 **TCL ROKU TV** For kids or kitchens a cut-price television is a perfect gift, but there’s no reason to settle for unimpressive LCD when TCL is now offering QLED at an entirely reasonable price.

£50 & UNDER

5 **SONOS RAY** The Ray may not look big, but it certainly sounds big. If you’re sick of the sound of your television’s built-in speakers (and the chances are you are, because even in 2023 many TV manufacturers have not figured out the importance of audi
