Buy a midrange LCD TV if:

  • You want quality for a reasonable price:Good LCD TVs offer excellent picture quality, solid preset image modes, easy on-screen navigation, and plenty of inputs for under $1,500.

Buy another type of TV if:

  • You want the best image quality possible:An OLED TV will provide a clear, truly lifelike image with perfect blacks and bright highlights, but you'll have to pay for it.
  • You're on a tight budget:If you're willing to compromise on image quality to save some money, consider our budget pick.
  • You don't have very much space:If you're looking for a TV to fit in the corner of your small bedroom or dorm, get a 32-inch model.

Why we like it: The Hisense U7G is a great-looking TV equipped with all the necessary technologies and features that any modern 4K LCD/LED TV needs in order to stand out. A full-array local-dimming backlight provides superb black levels and image contrast, while a 120 Hz refresh rate helps the U7G deliver better motion quality than many competitors. The U7G also handles high dynamic range (HDR) video with aplomb thanks to its high brightness and rich quantum-dot color. For serious gamers, Hisense has added all the HDMI 2.1 features necessary to take full advantage of the newest gaming consoles. Finally, the U7G features the Android TV streaming platform, which offers a wide variety of streaming services and a continually improving user interface. For what you're paying, the total package boasts notable value.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Hisense's video processing on the U7G isn't up to the standards of Sony or Samsung, so you might notice upscaling artifacts or jagged edges in lower-resolution content such as DVDs and standard-definition cable. The viewing angle is only average, and this series comes only in 55-, 65-, and 75-inch screen sizes. If you don't mind spending more for better video processing or if you need a different screen size than the U7G offers, consider the Samsung QN90A instead. The QN90A is available in both smaller (43, 50 inches) and larger (85, 98 inches) sizes compared with the Hisense U7G. The QN90A also outpaces the U7G when playing HDR content.

Available sizes: 55, 65, 75 inches
HDMI ports: four
Smart OS: Android TV
Resolution: 4K (3840×2160)
Screen type: LCD/LED

Our pick

Hisense U7G

The best 4K LCD TV for the money

The Hisense U7G offers great image quality, superb gaming features, and the Android TV interface but has a narrower viewing angle and fewer screen sizes than some other TVs.

Buy a budget 4K TV if:

  • You're willing to sacrifice image quality:Spending a little more money will get you noticeably better image quality.

Buy another type of TV if:

  • You watch a lot of TV during the day:Our budget 4K TV picks might not be bright enough to compete with sunlight through windows, which might bother you on a lazy Sunday morning. This is also true if your viewing area tends to have a lot of lights on.
  • You want something that looks as good turned off as it does while on:A more expensive TV may have better aesthetics than our budget pick.

Why we like it: The TCL 5-Series delivers a great-looking 4K picture, and it comes in 50-, 55-, 65-, and 75-inch sizes to fit most rooms. It's the company's lowest-priced TV line to incorporate advanced LCD technologies such as a full-array local-dimming LED backlight for improved image contrast and quantum dots for richer color. Plus, it's available with either the Roku or Google TV streaming platform built in, so you can choose the experience that you prefer.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The 5-Series's panel has only a 60 Hz refresh rate, so motion isn't as fluid as it can be on a 120 Hz panel, which offers faster pixel refresh and reduced motion blur. This also makes the 5-Series a worse choice for the latest gaming consoles compared with a 120 Hz TV. If the refresh rate is a dealbreaker for you, consider spending a little more on the TCL 6-Series, one of our favorite LCD/LED TVs. The 6-Series is a notable upgrade over the 5-Series, delivering not just a faster refresh rate but also better HDR performance.

Available sizes: 50, 55, 65, and 75 inches
HDMI ports: four
Smart OS: Roku or Google TV

Our pick

TCL 5-Series Roku TV (model S535)

Best 4K TV on a budget

The TCL 5-Series delivers a great-looking 4K image, the latest gaming features, and your choice of streaming platforms, but it doesn't measure up to the best LCD and OLED TVs in brightness, contrast, and motion.

Buy an OLED TV if:

  • You want the best possible picture quality, regardless of price:OLED TVs produce the best HDR picture quality of any TV currently available. Learn more about OLED technology in this article.
  • You watch TV in a room where you can control the lighting: In a bright room, an OLED TV might reflect a lot of light, which obscures the picture. If you are looking for a TV for a dark room, or a home theater setup, an OLED TV is the perfect choice.
  • You want your TV to look as nice off as it does on:An OLED TV usually has an attractive metallic design that will look great in your living room, and there are no other TVs with such slim profiles.

Buy another type of TV if:

  • You largely watch TV in a very bright room: OLED TVs can't compete with LCD models in overall brightness. Most OLED TVs screens can be overpowered via reflections or direct ambient light.
  • You aren't looking for the best possible picture quality: An LCD TV can provide almost as good an image for a lower price.

Why we like it: The LG C1 offers superb image quality, is brighter than previous OLED TVs, supports the leading HDR and HDMI 2.1 standards, and has an extremely thin and attractive design. Its WebOS smart-TV platform is easy to use and supports all of the major video and audio streaming services. Videophiles will like that the C1 gives them more control over the image than competing OLED TVs, while the Filmmaker Mode makes it easy for anyone to get an accurate image.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The HDMI 2.1 ports on the C1 offer a bandwidth of 40 Gbps, instead of the full 48 Gbps bit rate. The sound quality of the LG C1 could be better, but that's the case with every flat-panel TV. We expect most people will pair a TV in this price range with an AV receiver and surround-sound combo or at least a good soundbar.

Available sizes: 48, 55, 65, 77, 83 inches

Buy a 32-inch LCD/LED TV if:

  • You don't have space for a larger TV: Our other picks are likely too big for small bedrooms or dorm rooms.
  • You don't want to spend much money: If you're shopping for a casual-use TV and you don't require a higher level of performance, this is a good choice.

Buy another type of TV if:

  • You care about picture quality: A larger LCD or OLED TV will provide an image with much better brightness, contrast, color, and detail.
  • You've got plenty of space: A 32-inch TV may be inadequate for the average spacious suburban living room.

Why we like it: The TCL 32S334 is a great small smart TV that you can quickly and easily set up and use in most any space. It offers good picture and sound quality, and the built-in Android TV smart-TV platform supports all the major streaming video and music services. We like Android TV's customizable interface, and the remote is simple without being too simplistic, with helpful buttons and a microphone for voice search. Bluetooth audio output is available to send the TV's audio wirelessly to headphones or speakers, and you can choose a wired or wireless network connection for streaming.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: None of the 32-inch TVs we've tested excel in the brightness department, and their LCD panels don't incorporate any light-rejecting technology to help improve image contrast—so they aren't a good choice for bright rooms. The 32S334's viewing angles are average, and the 720p resolution is not ideal for up-close uses such as desktop work or gaming. If you need a 1080p resolution or prefer the Roku smart-TV platform, consider our runner-up pick, the TCL S327.

Available sizes: 32, 40 inches
HDMI ports: two
Smart OS: Android TV
Resolution: 720p (1366×768)
Screen type: LCD/LED

TCL 32S334 Android TV

The best 32-inch TV

The 32S334 is a great all-in-one small TV, offering good performance, a robust smart-TV platform, and helpful features like voice search and Bluetooth audio output.

Buy a gaming TV if:

  • You want low input lag: "Input lag" refers to the time that elapses between your pressing a keyboard key or controller button and seeing a response on the screen. TVs with minimal input lag are ideal for gaming.
  • You want the latest gaming-friendly HDMI 2.1 features: The newest HDMI 2.1 specification includes a number of gaming-friendly features such as automatic low-latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR), and the bandwidth to pass a 4K 120 Hz signal. While many TVs might support one or two HDMI 2.1 features, only a select few currently support the higher bandwidth.

Buy another type of TV if:

  • You don't play video games: Other TVs can deliver great performance for movie- and TV-watching for a lower price.

Why we like it: In addition to being our favorite overall performer for movies, the LG C1 OLED TV supports all the HDMI 2.1 features you could want for gaming, including 4K 120 Hz inputs, ALLM, VRR, and HGIG. In addition, it has one of the lowest input lags we've measured on a TV, its game mode offers accurate colors, and it has superior viewing angles and pixel-response times compared with LCD TVs. It supports AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync for PC gamers, too. Unlike almost every other HDMI 2.1 display out there, the C1 supports HDMI 2.1 on every HDMI input (it has four total), not just one or two.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Some people worry about burn-in when using an OLED TV as a gaming monitor, though we don't think this is a major issue. The HDMI 2.1 ports on the C1 offer a bandwidth of 40 Gbps, while some gaming TVs offer a full 48 Gbps bit rate. With all the current gaming sources that are available, this should not be a concern.

Modern TVs are more complicated than ever before. If you've found yourself browsing one of our guides and felt stumped by some of the acronyms or tech specs, we've summarized the most common terms below:

LCD: LCD stands for liquid crystal display, and it's the most common kind of television besides OLED (defined below). LCD TVs shine an LED backlight through a panel of liquid crystal, a malleable substance that reacts to electricity, opening or closing when jolted. In LCD TVs, the liquid crystal opens to allow the backlight through or closes to block it. The specific details of the opening/closing are dependent upon the arrangement of the pixels: The most common LCD arrangements are Vertical Alignment (VA) and In-Plane Switching (IPS), with the former tending to produce higher contrast and the latter tending to produce wider viewing angles. All so-called "LED" TVs are really LCD TVs, as are all current QLED and ULED TVs.

OLED: An organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, TV creates light inside each individual pixel without using a backlight and can dim each pixel individually all the way down to black, which LCD TVs can't do. This tech gives an OLED TV an infinite contrast ratio and other benefits to help create an overall better-looking image, although at considerable additional cost. You can read more about OLED technology in this article.

Full-array local dimming backlight: This term refers to a TV technology in which the backlight is behind the LCD panel and has individual zones that can turn on and off depending on the content. Such TVs are usually larger and more expensive to build and design, and more zones cost more. However, TVs with full-array local dimming typically provide the best LCD picture quality by improving contrast ratios and shadow detail.

Mini-LEDs: Every LCD TV made today currently uses LEDs to produce the light that shines through the LCD panel. Most TVs use LED lights that pass through a diffuser to light up the entire LCD screen. Mini-LEDs, which some TVs use, are much smaller than traditional LEDs, so TV makers can install more of them and thus create more zones of local dimming, which means less blooming or halos around bright objects. Mini-LEDs are completely different from micro-LEDs, an available (though very expensive) technology that employs individual red, green, and blue LEDs to produce an image without needing an LCD panel at all.

Nits: Also called candelas per square meter (cd/m²), this unit of luminance measures how much light a TV can produce. Previously, TVs could output 200 to 300 nits, and standard dynamic range (SDR) content was graded and mastered with 100 nits as the standard. With high dynamic range (HDR), content is mastered with 1,000, 4,000, or 10,000 nits as the standard; so, the more nits an HDR TV can display, the more accurately it can display the highlights in HDR material without having to reduce the brightness of the highlights or clip them.

High dynamic range (HDR): High dynamic range lets a TV display much brighter highlights while retaining deep blacks, although only with special HDR content. Whereas standard dynamic range (SDR) content has a peak brightness of around 100 nits, high-end HDR sets can have highlights that exceed 1,500 nits. This feature drastically improves contrast ratios and provides a more dynamic image in which bright objects (the sun, fire, a photon torpedo) really jump off the screen. HDR10 is the standard format that all HDR-capable TVs support. HDR10 content contains metadata (or information about how the image should be presented) only for the movie as a whole, while the more advanced HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats have metadata for each individual scene—so the TV can better optimize the image as it changes.

Wide color gamut: Ultra HD content has a wider color gamut than standard HDTV content; right now, most UHD content is mastered with the same DCI/P3 color gamut used in theatrical cinema (the ultimate goal is the even larger Rec. 2020 color gamut). This expanded color gamut allows a TV to display richer reds, blues, and greens than ever before. Some TVs use quantum-dot technology to produce this wider color gamut.

Quantum dots: Quantum dots are a color-enhancing technology primarily found in LCD TVs (though some 2022 OLED TVs now have them as well). Chiefly employed as a filter that's painted onto a substrate, quantum dots are microscopic nano-crystals that, when struck with blue light, produce very vivid red or green light (depending upon the size of the crystal). Quantum dots are the primary technology that allows LCD TVs to produce the wide color gamut required to display HDR content properly, as they greatly increase the color saturation of red and green.

HDMI 2.1: HDMI 2.1, the most recent version of HDMI, adds support for 8K displays, automatic low-latency mode for improved gaming, eARC for better audio when you're using Audio Return Channel, variable refresh rate for syncing the TV's refresh rate to a gaming console to avoid stuttering, and dynamic metadata support. For more about HDMI 2.1, read our blog post.

HDCP 2.3: This is the most recent version of the copy-protection standard used over HDMI, though for now it's most important that a TV supports HDCP 2.2. Without HDCP 2.2 support, a TV or other HDMI device (soundbar, receiver) cannot transmit or display Ultra HD images. All of our picks support HDCP 2.2.

Refresh rate: All digital displays (including TVs) have what's called a refresh rate, measured in hertz (Hz), shorthand for cycles per second. A TV's refresh rate refers to how quickly it displays new incoming video information on a nanosecond-to-nanosecond basis. While there are many possible refresh rates, most TVs come with either a 60 Hz refresh rate (meaning 60 screen refreshes per second) or a 120 Hz refresh rate (120 screen refreshes per second). Ideally, a TV will have the highest refresh rate possible, but there are diminishing returns for higher refresh rates during many types of content. A 120 Hz TV has advantages when watching 24p content or mitigating judder (definitions below), and tends to produce less input lag when playing video games, but it won't provide advantages for most forms of cable TV or streaming content. In 2022, some manufacturers introduced 144 Hz TVs meant to appeal specifically to gamers, but the majority of TVs still have 60 or 120 Hz refresh rates.

24p: With few exceptions, movies in a theater display at 24 frames per second, abbreviated as 24p, which gives movies that "cinematic" look. All TVs now support 24p content, but some maintain that look better than others.

Judder: This term refers to a slightly jerky motion that can occur when 24p film content appears on a TV with a 60 Hz refresh rate. In such situations, to make 24 frames match up to the 60 Hz display, half of the frames appear two times and the other half appear three times. This display technique causes judder, which is most noticeable on panning shots. Some 120 Hz displays avoid this effect by repeating each film frame five times, while some 60 Hz panels run at 48 Hz to show each frame twice.

Motion smoothing: Motion smoothing, sometimes called MEMC (Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation), refers to a TV's ability to intelligently create new frames to create smoother-looking or less juddery motion. Most modern TVs can artificially increase their refresh rates to smooth out fast or difficult sequences, but the efficacy of this motion smoothing is often dependent upon the TV's native refresh rate. Motion smoothing is also the cause of the "soap opera effect," where cinematic/24p content looks more like a daytime soap opera due to the insertion of unnecessary frames. The best TVs come with multiple motion smoothing presets, and some even allow the user to fine-tune the degree of judder reduction and frame interpolation employed. When used correctly, motion smoothing can make content like sports and nature documentaries look more realistic, but we prefer it be turned off for content like premium TV, movies, and video games.
