Also, choosing one TV over another may simply come down to personal preference. We've tested more than 80 TVs under our latest test bench, and below you'll find our recommendations for the best flat screen TVs available.
It's a premium model from LG's lineup and offers excellent all-around performance. It's well-built, and the TV itself isn't very thick, so it won't stick out if wall-mounted. OLED TVs like this one are unique in that they can turn off individual pixels and don't require a backlight. This means that the C1 has a near-infinite contrast ratio with perfect black uniformity and no blooming around bright objects. Since each pixel emits light in all directions, the TV has wide viewing angles, which is great if you have wide seating arrangements as each person will see an accurate image wherever they sit.
Sadly, OLEDs have the risk of permanent burn-in. This can happen with constant exposure to static elements, like if you're using it as a PC monitor.
However, we don't expect this to be an issue if you watch varied content. However, the Sony has better image processing that allows it to get brighter in HDR, make highlights stand out more, and it has much better gradient handling, so there's a lot less banding.
It has fantastic out-of-the-box accuracy, and even though this can vary between units, Sony TVs are known for their excellent color accuracy, so it's unlikely you'll need to calibrate it. If you want the best flat screen TV with an OLED panel, you can't go wrong with the LG, but if you're a fan of HDR content or simply watching movies and prefer something with better performance, then check out the Sony.
It's a flagship 4k TV with a sleek design that should sit flush against the wall when wall-mounted. It's excellent overall and has features that should please most people, no matter the content you watch. The built-in Tizen OS is user-friendly, and you get a great selection of apps that you can download through the app store. There are a few advantages of getting an LED TV over an OLED, like the fact that LEDs appear to be immune to permanent burn-in, so you can use it as a PC monitor or leave it on your favorite news channel and not have to worry about damaging the screen.
This TV uses Mini LED backlighting to get extremely bright, and combined with its remarkable reflection handling, visibility shouldn't be an issue in most rooms. It has a great full-array local dimming feature that helps improve the already-great native contrast, but its local dimming performs worse in Game Mode than outside of it. It raises the black level more so blacks look closer to gray. Speaking of gaming, it has an HDMI 2. If you want something cheaper, then look into the Hisense U8G.
It also has a VA panel with excellent contrast, and the full-array local dimming is great in and out of Game Mode. If you're in the market for the best flat screen TV and are worried about the risk of burn-in with OLEDs, then the Samsung is a great choice.
However, if you don't need something big and prefer to spend less money, check out the Hisense. The best flat screen in the budget category is the Hisense U6G. Read our Samsung QN90A series review. The three TVs above are amazing, but what if you can't afford that level of picture quality? It's a 60Hz model, not Hz, but it still handles variable refresh rate games for extra smoothness. Read our Vizio M-7 Series Quantum review.
This TCL 4-Series can't beat any of the models above on image quality -- its 4K resolution and HDR performance don't do much to help the picture -- but it's perfectly fine for most people, especially at this price. Sizes: , , , , , inch. The prices shown below are for the inch size. What's that you say? You just want the best TV and can afford whatever you want? Here you go. The main advantage of the G1 is slimmer, more wall-friendly design compared to the C1, so if you value that style and can afford it, this is the TV to get.
Read the LG G1 series review. We liked Roku's smart TV system better sound familiar? Picture quality between the two was basically the same, so if you don't have a preference, it makes sense to get the cheapest one. Read the Vizio V-Series review. If you want an "S" brand, this is one of the best values we've tested. Read our Sony X90J series review. Even without local dimming, the display looks bright and vibrant and doesn't bleed too much during dark scenes.
It has a game mode that works well with PlayStations though it can't attain the 4K, Hz refresh rate of the PlayStation 5. They don't have a backlight, so when you see black areas of the screen, they're as black as possible. This means excellent contrast—perfect for darker scenes in The Mandolorian.
LG's WebOS interface isn't our favorite, but the picture quality trumps any qualms we have. That's why Samsung's 4K flagship is my favorite TV in rooms without blackout curtains. You get gorgeous color accuracy from the quantum-dot-infused panel, a Hz refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync compatibility, which makes it a pretty solid option for gamers. It's about the same price as an equivalent OLED from LG, but you won't have to turn out the lights to get a similarly fantastic image.
I fell in love with its perfect contrast and bright highlights during testing, and a recent update lets the TV work with the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 at frames per second in 4K. That's pretty rad. If you want the best possible picture for the money and you're willing to spend more than you would for the TCL 6-Series above, check out this TV first.
If you've found your TV viewing time to be one of the only peaceful pleasures of the past several years and want to be further mesmerized by what's onscreen, there is perhaps no better-looking TV for most people than the Sony A90J OLED. It will change the way you see your favorite content for the better. Depending on what your budget is, such a beautiful picture might be worth the extra money.
We also like its Android TV interface more than many built-in smart TV operating systems, though it's not as easy to use as Roku. The only downside? But there are also some good choices for people who want to spend less. And if you're buying a smaller set or just want to wait on 4K and HDR, you can find several good—and inexpensive—options. The overwhelming number of TVs on the market, especially in midsized and larger models, are smart TVs. These televisions can access online content, such as streaming video services from Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix.
Basic smart TVs may be limited to the most popular services, while others offer a vast assortment of apps. More sophisticated smart TVs can respond to voice commands, using microphones built into the TV's remote control or using an app on a smartphone.
More than 80 percent of the TVs sold these days are smart TVs, according to market research firm Omdia. Details below. This will let you perform basic TV controls—such as raising and lowering volume, and changing channels or inputs—and search for shows and movies using voice commands.
Just be aware that almost all smart TVs collect information about the shows you're watching and the apps you're using—for marketing purposes.
The degree to which you can control this data collection varies by the brand of smart TV system, but there are ways you can limit the amount of data being collected and shared. Streaming media players are a popular add-on for TVs, bringing streaming movies, TV, music, and games to TVs that lack internet access.
There are more than a dozen streaming player models, offered mainly in two styles: set-top boxes, and stick players about the size of a USB flash drive. The most basic ones support p video, and many models can play 4K content with HDR from the streaming services that offer it.
Because 4K models often come with promotional discounts, getting a 4K player probably makes the most sense for most consumers because their next TV purchase is likely to be a 4K model. And be aware that streaming video requires robust broadband and WiFi connections to prevent the video from freezing or buffering. If you move more of your entertainment to the internet, you may need to upgrade to a faster connection. Many smart TVs also let you check social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and several support casual games as well.
Some sets may have all three. Like streaming media players, smart TVs need to be connected to your home network. We recommend using a wired Ethernet connection, if possible, but all smart TVs now also have built-in WiFi for accessing your network wirelessly. Despite many improvements, most LCDs still have a fairly significant shortcoming: limited viewing angle.
That means the picture looks its best only from a fairly narrow sweet spot right in front of the screen. We recommend checking the viewing angle by watching a TV from off to the side, and from above and below the main part of the image. As you move away from the center of the screen, the image can dim, lose contrast and color accuracy, or look washed out. And the degree of picture degradation varies from model to model.
We suggest you do it immediately so that you can easily return the set if it proves to be disappointing. Television technology is constantly evolving. Here's a roadmap to help you navigate the terms and types as you shop for a new TV. Don't forget to consider a TV's connections before you buy.
Almost all TVs now have side input connections, as well as rear inputs, which provide some flexibility for connecting source components to your TV. Inputs located on the side or bottom of the TV work best if you'll be mounting a TV flat against a wall. HDMI is now the most common technology for connecting cable boxes, Blu-ray players, streaming media players, and game consoles to a TV.
However, many budget sets have only one or two HDMI inputs. When choosing your primary TV, we recommend that you look for at least three HDMI connections unless you'll be connecting all your other components to a home-theater receiver or an HDMI switcher. A newer version, called eARC, has higher bandwidth and speeds, and supports higher-quality audio, including Dolby Atmos.
Most new sets also have HDCP 2. Most TVs also include component-video inputs, which have RCA-type connectors in red, blue, and green. On some TVs, the component-video input will do double duty as a composite-video connection, as shown above the yellow and green input marked "video". These analog video-only connections are typically used for connecting older gear that lacks HDMI outputs.
Many smaller TVs, and some larger ones, may have a headphone jack so that you can watch a show without disturbing others in the same room. A TV with Bluetooth capability will let you do this wirelessly if you have Bluetooth-enabled headphones.
Many TVs have a slideshow feature for viewing digital photos. Some TVs also have a digital coaxial audio output, which is another digital audio connection, but these are becoming less common.
