From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Verdict:
If you really want the best picture, there’s nothing that compares to the UHD models here, and the Sony and Panasonic sets are especially good. But if you want to make use of the smart features on the TV then the LG and John Lewis models are a revelation in simplicity of use, but still with sophisticated features. If you’re looking to buy a TV, this is a great time: the leading manufacturers have recently released a slew of attractive sets to tempt you. Choose your screen size and then stick to a big name manufacturer for the best results.
