With numerous brands, features, and plenty of tech lingo, choosing a TV can be tough, which is why we put together this list of the best models on the market.
With the groundwork for the best TVs of the year laid from January's tech extravaganza CES 2023, the coming months are shaping up to deliver some really big, really bright TVs with incredible picture technology, insanely fast refresh rates, wireless connectivity and much more. And as those TVs roll out, we'll be right here with the reviews of them all to share what all the fuss is all about — we're expecting big things from the likes of LG, Samsung, Sony, and even Roku.

65-inch LG G2 Evo Gallery OLED The best overall TV 65-inch Samsung S95B A solid runner-up Read our in-depth review Pros Cons It's hard to put any TV up against the 65-inch LG G2 , but the Samsung S95B may actually be better than the G2 for some specific viewing situations. 65-inch Samsung S95B A solid runner-up More Related Sony Bravia XR A95K The best-performing TV Read our in-depth review Pros Cons Before the above-mentioned Samsung S95B, the QD-OLED red carpet was officially rolled out with Sony's Bravia XR A95K Series. Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, the A95K Series is, no questions asked, the very best-performing TV that money can buy.
The A95K is also an excellent TV for gaming, and while you won't find the integrated gaming hub controls of Samsung and LG TVs, the A95K still delivers 4K/120Hz, on top of VRR support and an Auto Gaming Mode. Available in sizes from 55 inches up to 83 inches, the 65-inch C2 is the perfect middle-ground size for most homes. And in terms of design and tech, LG really notched things up last. The C2 features a totally reworked WRGB screen with chart-topping peak brightness marks, four HDMI 2.1 inputs for all our next-gen entertainment sources, and an improved Alpha 9 Gen 5 processor that delivers breathtaking colors, adaptive brightness control, and incredible upscaling.
The next generation of the 2021 U8G Series, the U8H actually requires a bit of tweaking out of the box, at least in our opinion. But once you've adjusted and disabled a couple of picture settings, you're going to get one of the most vibrant images on the market, regardless of what source you're watching. In our hands-on review of the U8H, we clocked peak nit levels that only the best models from Samsung, Sony, and LG have come even remotely close to.
If you checked out our description of the LG G1 Gallery Series above, you know that it's LG's brightest OLED TV to date, thanks to the new LG OLED Evo panel and LG's picture processor. Well, Sony has always had a way of squeezing even more performance from a given panel than LG, and the A90J exemplifies this capability.
With Android TV running the user interface, it's like having a top-notch streaming media device built-in, plus Sony has embedded Apple's AirPlay and HomeKit in addition to Google's Chromecast, leaving no stone unturned in terms of wireless device connections. 65-inch Sony A90J A premium OLED for cinephiles More 75-inch TCL 6-Series 8K TV The best 8K TV within reach Read our in-depth review Pros Cons 8K is still very much an emerging corner of the entertainment world, so much so that — with the exception of some 8K videos on YouTube — there isn't much actual 8K content readily available right now.
That thoughtful ease of use carries over into the excellent Roku software. As usual, you get a huge choice of streaming apps, a dead-simple interface, and integration with a wide variety of ecosystems like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. But TCL also includes an improved Roku remote with voice capabilities. Apple device owners can take advantage of Apple AirPlay for streaming local videos, music, and photos from their gadgets to the 6-Series.
75-inch TCL 6-Series 8K TV The best 8K TV within reach More 55-inch TCL 6-Series 4K TV Great QLED at an affordable price Read our in-depth review Pros Cons Digital Trend's master of all things TV, Caleb Denison, began his review of the latest 2022 model of TCL's esteemed 6-Series by saying,"Another year, another outstanding TCL 6-Series TV. This is getting predictable." And, indeed, it is.
55-inch TCL 6-Series 4K TV Great QLED at an affordable price Frequently Asked Questions What size 4K TV should I buy? The answer to that depends on many factors, including your stylistic preferences, the size of the room, and how far away you'll be sitting. Take a look at our guide to choosing the perfect TV size for you.
What is OLED? OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, and these TVs are notable for their ability to produce perfect blacks and what is sometimes referred to as"infinite" contrast. These TVs achieve this through their ability to completely shut down the light they emit on a pixel-by-pixel basis, something QLED TVs can't do because they rely on a separate backlight to create brightness. You can block a lot of the light produced by a backlight, but not 100%.
Right now, there are no TVs that have Siri built-in. Those that support AirPlay 2 and HomeKit, however, can be controlled using Siri on an iOS device, such as an iPad, iPhone, or HomePod Mini, as well as a Mac. Testing environment The bulk of our testing takes place in a completely dark room. This allows us to adjust picture settings and test a TV without concern for ambient light and the effects it has when reflected off a TV’s screen. Later, we’ll move the TV to a room made bright by lots of exposure to natural sunlight through multiple windows.
With data entry out of the way, we begin to feed the TV with 1080p content that we are very familiar with. We generally use the same six or seven scenes that we’ve seen countless times on a myriad of televisions over the past few years. We’ll cycle through the TV’s different picture pre-sets and note our impressions of the images we see from the TV straight out of the box. This information will be compared with the results we get after we calibrate the TV.
Once we have calibrated the television, we look at how much adjustment to the TV’s default settings were needed in order to reach desired standards of performance. It is based on this user-oriented standard and our experience calibrating similarly classed televisions that we score some of the more objective points of a TVs performance.
Internet and network media access Many TVs offer access to the same streaming music and video services, but the design of the apps for them makes all the difference in whether we use them or not. We test apps for services like Netflix, YouTube and Pandora and compare them to the apps installed in competing televisions, as well as those found in other Internet media sources, such as Blu-ray disc players and game consoles. We expect content to be easy to access and easily searchable.
Overview Once our testing is complete, we take into consideration a television’s overall performance, its price point, and the competition it faces with similarly priced and featured TVs. Over the past few years, we’ve seen performance increase as price decreases, thus redefining the notion of value in high-definition televisions.
4K Ultra HD This refers to a display resolution that is four times that of 1080p HD. A 4K Ultra HD TV’s pixel resolution is a 3,840 x 2,160 grid in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resulting in nearly 8.3 million pixels. This increase in density adds striking detail and realism to an image and allows larger screens to be viewed from closer distances without individual pixels becoming visible.
Wide color gamut These are the expanded color reproduction abilities of a 4K Ultra HD TV, which are closer than ever to what we see in a digital cinema. By approaching the Digital Cinema Initiative’s P3 color specification, a 4K UHD TV can produce billions of more colors than a 1080p HD TV.
