3 best TVs for a marathon of "Home Alone" – Christmas TV Ranking!

December has an unwritten tradition in Poland: some claim they know "Kevin" by heart, others pretend they don’t, but in the end, everyone ends up in front of the television watching it... again. And you know what? It doesn’t have to be “the same screening.” Because although the adventures of the eight-year-old from Chicago are over 30 years old, today’s televisions can extract surprisingly much from this classic: more readable details in darker scenes, better image plasticity, sharper textures (yes, those jumpers and rugs suddenly start to "come alive"), and on top of that, smoother motion and fewer random artifacts that can ruin the atmosphere. In other words: the same jokes, the same traps, but — as if someone had dusted off the tape, just in the 21st century. Are you wondering what’s the best way to follow Kevin’s next brilliant ideas and the misfortunes of the "Wet Bandits"? We’ve selected three models that do the job where Christmas evenings matter: contrast, details, and natural image. The result? This year’s screening looks better than ever — and suddenly “for the hundredth time” sounds like quite a good plan.

1. Samsung S90F

If you're looking for uncompromising quality, Samsung S90F is the absolute king of this year's rankings. With its QD-OLED panel, this television combines perfect blacks with incredible brightness and colour saturation.

• Why Kevin? Our measurements showed a peak brightness level of as much as 1700 nits. This means that every explosion in Kevin's traps or the glow of Christmas lights on the tree has incredible punch. (provided you can find Kevin in HDR 😉)

• The QD-OLED panel offers nearly 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour palette. The jumpers worn by guests at the McCallisters' Christmas dinner will have such a rich red that you've never seen before. Plus, the 144 Hz refresh rate ensures that escapes from bandits are perfectly smooth!

2. LG C5

The "C" series from LG is a legend, and the LG C5 model is another step forward. This television is for those who love a cinematic atmosphere and value convenience.

• Why Kevin? The LG C5 has finally broken the burden of the "dark" OLED television! With this, you can be assured that in dark scenes, you won’t miss anything (e.g., when Kevin hides in the basement).

• The webOS 2025 system with the Magic remote (with cursor) is the most convenient way to operate streaming applications. Additionally, the LG processor handles image processing excellently – forget about ugly “jaggies” in the night scenes over Chicago!

3. Hisense U8Q

A few years ago, few considered this brand when choosing premium, but the Hisense U8Q model changes everything. It’s a Mini-LED TV that has undergone an incredible transformation this year.

Why is it a great choice for older movies?

• Amazing Upscaling: “Home Alone” wasn’t recorded in 4K, but the processor in the Hisense U8Q handles sharpening old footage almost the best on the market. The film looks clean and sharp!

• Mini-LED Brightness: If you’re watching a movie during the day with the Christmas tree and lights on, the high brightness of this model will ensure the picture remains clear and vibrant.

Merry Christmas!

Of course, the technical parameters, dimming zones, and brightness calibration are important, but the holidays are about something more. Whether you choose a top-end OLED or stick with your trusty gear, the most important thing is the atmosphere and the time spent with loved ones.

On behalf of the entire editorial team at choose.tv, we wish you a peaceful and joyful Christmas. May every trap laid by Kevin be just as entertaining as the first time, and may the picture on your screens always be a delight to the eye!

See you in the new year!
