The Best TVs Right Now

The LG G5 OLED is the strongest all-round pick in this group. Critics report that it combines unusually high OLED brightness with accurate color, deep blacks and excellent gaming support. It is expensive, though, and its built-in sound does not match its picture.

There is no single best TV for every room. The Sony Bravia 8 II is especially suited to movie nights, while the Samsung S95D and QN90D are better fits for bright spaces. Value shoppers should start with the TCL QM8K, Hisense U8N or Hisense U6N.

LG G5 OLED
Best overall

LG G5 OLED

Reviewers agree that the LG G5 delivers vivid HDR highlights, accurate color, crisp detail and deep OLED blacks. It also supports gaming at up to 165Hz with low measured input lag, but it is expensive and deserves a separate sound system.

LG C6 OLED
Best value OLED

LG C6 OLED

The C6 delivers most of the G5's picture quality at a lower price, with 4K gaming at 165Hz. Reviewers call it one of 2026's best OLEDs, though the G5 remains brighter and better suited to gallery-style wall mounting.

Sony Bravia 8 II
Best for movies

Sony Bravia 8 II

Critics report exceptionally sharp, natural-looking pictures, excellent processing and strong shadow detail. It is a compelling choice for films in controlled lighting, though the LG G5 gets brighter and only two HDMI inputs offer the full HDMI 2.1 feature set.

Samsung S95D OLED
Best OLED for bright rooms

Samsung S95D OLED

Reviewers praise its phenomenal brightness, vivid color and unusually effective glare control. Its strong gaming features also help, but critics note minor filter side effects, some lost shadow detail and underwhelming sound.

TCL QM8K
Best value premium TV

TCL QM8K

Critics broadly praise its excellent contrast, cinematic HDR, extreme brightness and strong backlight control. It offers flagship-level mini-LED performance for less, especially when discounted, but SDR consistency and having only two 4K144 HDMI inputs are real limitations.

Samsung QN90D
Best bright-room mini-LED

Samsung QN90D

Reviewers agree that its high brightness, strong reflection handling and superb motion make it well suited to daytime sports and bright rooms. Minor blooming, weaker off-axis viewing and the lack of Dolby Vision make the premium price harder to justify.

Hisense U8N
Best midrange bright-room TV

Hisense U8N

Critics report unusually high brightness, strong local dimming and extensive gaming support for the money. Its viewing angles and motion handling are less convincing, and careful picture adjustment is needed to rein in excessive brightness and processing.

LG B4 OLED
Best affordable OLED

LG B4 OLED

The LG B4 provides deep blacks, vibrant color, a 120Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports without the price of LG's higher-end OLEDs. Critics consistently identify brightness and middling built-in sound as its main compromises.

Hisense U6N
Best budget TV

Hisense U6N

Reviewers found detailed pictures, punchy color and solid gaming performance at an affordable price. The trade-off is entry-level hardware: a 60Hz panel, no HDMI 2.1, narrow viewing angles and thin sound.
