OLED
LG B4 OLED review roundup: The honest buying verdict
Critics report that the LG B4 delivers the deep blacks, vibrant color and gaming features people want from an OLED without moving up to LG's more expensive models. Four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz panel make it especially appealing for console gaming. The honest trade-off is brightness and sound: the C4 is brighter, while the B4's speakers are consistently described as middling.
Sony Bravia 8 II review: The critics’ clear verdict
Critics report that the Sony Bravia 8 II delivers exceptionally sharp, vibrant and natural-looking pictures, with excellent processing, shadow detail and viewing angles. It is especially compelling for films in controlled lighting. The trade-offs are clear: the LG G5 gets brighter, black levels can look lighter in a bright room, and only two of the four HDMI inputs support the full HDMI 2.1 feature set.
LG G5 OLED Review Roundup: The Buying Verdict
Reviewers agree that the LG G5 is one of the strongest premium OLED TVs available. Its unusually bright panel delivers vivid HDR highlights, rich and accurate color, crisp detail and deep pixel-level blacks. Gaming support is equally strong, including up to 165Hz VRR and low measured input lag. The trade-off is straightforward: it is expensive, its speakers cannot match the picture, and US buyers do not get an ATSC 3.0 tuner.
Samsung S95D OLED review: the critics’ honest verdict
Reviewers agree that the Samsung S95D is a premium OLED built for bright rooms as much as dark ones. TechRadar praises its vivid picture, gaming features, slim design and unusually effective glare control. What Hi-Fi? highlights phenomenal brightness, contrast and colour, but notes minor filter side effects, some shadow-detail loss and audio that lacks real impact.
LG C6 OLED: What the Critics Actually Say
One of 2026's best OLEDs — the consensus, plus the best picture settings.
Mini-LED
Hisense U6N Review Roundup: The Honest Verdict
The Hisense U6N is a budget mini-LED TV with detailed pictures, punchy color and strong value. TechRadar found its overall picture and gaming performance solid for the money, while PCMag gave the 65-inch model an Editors' Choice award for affordable TVs. The savings bring clear compromises: a 60Hz panel, no HDMI 2.1, limited viewing angles and thin built-in sound.
Hisense U8N review roundup: The clear buying verdict
Reviewers broadly agree that the Hisense U8N delivers unusually high brightness, strong local dimming and extensive gaming support for the money. Its vivid picture works especially well in bright rooms, while Google TV and capable built-in speakers round out the package. The trade-offs are limited viewing angles, average motion handling, two HDMI 2.1 ports and a picture that needs careful adjustment to avoid excessive brightness or processing.
TCL QM8K Review Roundup: The Clear Buying Verdict
Reviewers broadly see the TCL QM8K as a high-value flagship mini-LED TV. CNET praises its excellent contrast, shadow detail and cinematic HDR presentation, while What Hi-Fi? highlights its extreme brightness and outstanding backlight control. PCMag also reports strong viewing angles, natural color and low gaming latency. The trade-offs are inconsistent standard-dynamic-range performance, only two 4K144 HDMI inputs and tough competition from Hisense. It makes the most sense when discounted near the roughly $1,600 price reported by multiple critics.
