The Best OLED for the Money

What can I say about LG’s C-series that we haven’t already? As the second tier in LG’s illustrious OLED lineup, high-value performance is in its DNA. The 65-inch C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was our favorite model yet, offering strikingly clear 4K and upscaled HD images, rich and naturalistic colors, impressive OLED brightness, and spacey black levels thanks to OLED’s emissive screen tech. Four HDMI 2.1 inputs and up to a 144Hz refresh rate, plus low input lag make this TV equal parts gaming powerhouse and cinematic delight. As last year’s model, its price has been bouncing around, now likely as low as you’ll see it until it’s gone for good.

The QD-OLED panel on this Samsung TV offers great brightness (for an OLED), and the quantum dots (hence the “QD”) add intense, yet natural colors. There’s a 144-Hz screen refresh rate across all inputs, along with support for variable refresh rates and built-in cloud gaming for Xbox, Amazon Luna, and others, making it an excellent screen for gamers. Viewing angles are nearly perfect, the screen is anti-reflective, and it has a solar-powered remote, so no more swapping dead batteries.

The Best TV for Most

TCL’s QM6K (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our current pick as the best TV for most people in large part due to its refreshingly balanced picture at a good price that keeps getting better. It’s not the fieriest TV for the money, but it has enough might for some HDR magic, matched by rich black levels, accurate colors, and a screen mostly free of the kind of columns and aberrations that mar many TVs at this price tier. Good gaming features and simplified Google TV streaming round things out for a sweet package.

Sony’s Best TV

Sony’s Bravia 8 II (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a true beauty thanks to Samsung’s searingly bright QD-OLED display run through Sony’s fabulous picture processing. You’ll get stunning clarity and upscaling that makes some images look like they’re about to pop off the screen. Colors are vivid yet natural, off-angle viewing and screen uniformity are near-perfect, and the screen reflection tech is fantastic, though it does raise the black levels compared to the more fiery LG G5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). Otherwise, this TV’s picture quality will be very tough to beat in 2025, and it’s now at its lowest price yet.

My Favorite OLED

The LG G5 OLED (9/10, WIRED Recommends) delivers the most stunning, versatile, and visually breathtaking picture quality I’ve ever tested. With searing brightness, near-flawless black levels, impeccable screen uniformity, razor-sharp detail, and outstanding clarity, this TV excels in every category. It’s a powerhouse for gaming and streaming, acing every challenge I put it through. While some observed slight banding in certain HDR10 content, recent updates appear to have largely resolved the issue—solidifying the G5 as the TV to beat in 2025.

Samsung’s flagship S95D OLED TV (8/10, WIRED Recommends) carves out its niche with a unique matte-like display. While this can slightly soften black levels in certain lighting, it’s a game-changer for bright rooms, effectively neutralizing glare even from direct reflections. Beyond its anti-glare prowess, the TV dazzles with eye-searing brightness, rich and vibrant colors, superb image processing, and a wealth of features, including a built-in cloud gaming hub.

Best for Bright Rooms

If you crave a premium display with more vibrancy and impact than a typical OLED, Samsung’s QN90D (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a standout choice. This QLED powerhouse delivers superb picture processing for razor-sharp clarity, bold yet natural colors, and blinding brightness that overpowers even the sunniest rooms. While off-angle viewing is just decent, its mini-LED backlighting serves up striking contrast, deep blacks, and crisp detail—making it a fantastic pick for any lighting condition.

A Great All-Rounder

Panasonic’s triumphant U.S. comeback was led by the spectacular Z95A OLED TV (9/10, WIRED Recommends), which combines LG’s cutting-edge MLA panel with Panasonic’s legendary color science for breathtaking results. Colors explode with vibrancy yet remain perfectly natural, whether you’re watching blockbuster movies or classic sitcoms. It delivers some of the brightest OLED performance we’ve tested, and inky-deep blacks that make every image leap off the screen. While Fire TV OS isn’t our favorite platform, the Z95A redeems itself with arguably the best built-in sound in its class. At its most attractive price yet, it’s harder than ever to resist.

Our Favorite QLED

This QLED stunner (9/10, WIRED Recommends) has some of the brightest backlighting we’ve ever tested for a truly cinematic viewing experience. The only downside is a lack of HDMI 2.1 compatibility, with only two of the four HDMI ports providing modern features like 4K gaming at 120 Hz. However, if it’s a vibrant yet incredibly poised and clear picture you’re after, this one is worth the splurge.

Our 8K Recommendation

If you want to go cutting-edge, even though 8K content is still scarce, the QN900C (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is your best bet. This sale price is for the 65-inch, which is probably one of the smallest 8K TVs you’ll find. Still, you’ll be rewarded with top-notch picture processing matched with vibrant brightness and colors, as well as Samsung’s pedestal-style floating-screen design and plenty of gaming features.

A Potent mini LED TV

Amazon

We’re still in the midst of testing TCL’s latest QM8 series model, but so far the TV has impressed with white-hot brightness, killer black levels, and an ultra-thin bezel on a slick pedestal stand. This TV was quite the stretch at its $2,500 launch price, but it soon settled to a much more reasonable $1,800 give or take. At nearly half off that latter number, we’re confident in recommending this sweet Prime Day deal as we wrap our review.

Mobile TV Stand

I bought this basic stand with wheels on an early Prime Day deal last weekend and attached it to a cheap TCL TV (check out our recommendations here), primarily so my husband could watch his sports outside on the deck without disturbing the rest of the house. However, I found this setup to be surprisingly enjoyable myself, and was impressed with how sturdy the stand was. It even has little stoppers to keep it from rolling around, and a table for a remote or cable box. —Kat Merck
