The Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is the company’s most advanced battery-powered doorbell. With a sleek design and high-end finishes, this doorbell has Ring’s Pro features, including Bird’s Eye View and 3D Motion Detection, for more accurate motion alerts. The video quality is impressive, with a full-person view and a 1536p HD+ resolution. In my tests, the video quality surpassed my 2K-resolution Eufy doorbell, especially at night, thanks to low-light sight.The main drawback is that it’s expensive, at $230, plus you have to add the monthly subscription cost for a Ring Protect plan, which can be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers. While this Pro model offers unique features, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus price difference might not be justified for everyone.Review: Ring Battery Doorbell ProBuyers agree that this doorbell is a significant upgrade from previous models. One mentioned in their review, “I replaced my old ring battery three plus and am very happy with this new one. The first thing is the improved camera lens. It’s upgraded from 1080p resolution to 1536p resolution. It also has what ring calls a Low-Light Sight with Color Night Vision, which helps reduce the glare and improve the video with little or too much light, causing glare from harsh light to hardly any light.”Ring Battery Doorbell Pro specs: Price: $230 | Power: Battery | Video: 1536p HD+ Live Video, Live View, Low-light Sight night vision | Field of view: 150° horizontal, 150° vertical | Audio: Two-way audio with noise cancellation | Motion detection: Customizable zones, Bird’s Eye View, 3D Motion detection More

If you value pure picture over features, the Sony A80L is going to be tough to beat. The 83-inch panel has 11 different picture modes, including IMAX Enhanced and a dedicated game mode, so you can get the best image possible for watching movies and shows or playing video games. ZDNET contributor Artie Beaty conducted hands-on testing with the A80L, and he called the XR Clear Image feature, which uses AI to make details more apparent, “game-changing.” He also praised the technology for showing “subtle textures and details that would be missed without it” in lower-resolution content upscaled to 4K, saying it brought older shows to life in a way that many sets struggle to do well.Review: Sony Brava XR A80LThe A80L also works with Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, which turns the entire screen into a giant speaker. This means you get near-perfect video and audio syncing, plus sound that literally follows the on-screen action. For example, if a car drives from one side of the screen to the other in a movie, you’ll hear the sound move from side to side along with the action.With Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in, you’ll get hands-free voice controls and screen mirroring right out of the box, giving you more ways to control your new TV and entertain family and friends.Many Best Buy customers say this was their introduction to the world of OLED TVs, and they’re more than happy with the set’s quality. “This is by far the best TV on the market,” one user wrote, saying it’s “absolutely stunning in every aspect.” Movie buffs often give its HDR high praise as well.Sony Bravia XR A80L tech specs: Screen size: 83 inches | Panel type: OLED | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Resolution: 4K | HDR: Dolby Vision | Audio: Dolby Atmos, Acoustic Surface Audio+ | Voice controls: Alexa, Hey Google More
