Introducing the 2025 LG OLED evo AI G5 4K Smart TV. The G5 offers excellent performance right out of the box, and its detailed picture controls can deliver reference-grade color accuracy in the hands of an experienced calibrator. I was impressed with the G5's increased light output and expanded color gamut coverage compared to its predecessor. Its updated video processing rivals the best upscaling and artifact management I've seen from other top-tier manufacturers. The G5 is a videophile's dream, with support for all popular video formats, including Dolby Vision, and gamer-friendly features like VRR up to 165Hz, ALLM, and extremely fast pixel response times. The LG G5 finally includes a base stand in the box with the 55-inch and 65-inch models, and the larger sizes include the flush-mount wall bracket. The 2025 LG OLED evo AI G5 4K television is available in screen sizes of 55 inches, 65 inches, 77 inches, 83 inches, and 97 inches.
If you're in the market for the best LCD television available today, the 2025 Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN990F is the one for you. Its advanced NQ8 AI Gen3 video processor upscales lower-resolution content while suppressing common image artifacts better than any TV I've seen. The TV's aesthetics have always stood out with its slim profile and practically bezel-free border. The mini LED backlight array, the brightest in Samsung's 2025 home TV lineup, ensures unmatched picture quality with impressive local dimming control for superb contrast. Combined with its glare-free screen, the QN990F is ideal for any room lighting conditions. Compared to the similarly specced QN900F 8K TV, the QN990F further reduces cable clutter with a Wireless One Connect input box. This compact box includes five HDMI ports, each supporting up to 8K 120Hz or 4K 240Hz input. The 990F's wireless input box also incorporates an ATSC 3.0/NextGen tuner for receiving digital broadcasts. The Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN990F is available in screen sizes of 65 inches, 75 inches, and 85 inches.
The 2025 Samsung S95F OLED 4K Smart TV improves upon its predecessor in several critical areas, including increased brightness (2000 nits calibrated), reduced crushing of dark detail, and improved contrast in bright room environments. The S95F's use of an updated 5-layer OLED material stack with its quantum dot color converter delivers infinite contrast and a picture with exquisite HDR color saturation unmatched by any other display technology. The S95F's four HDMI ports support up to 4K 165Hz input for ideal performance with all connected devices. I'm pleased to see the S95F features an ATSC 3.0/NextGen tuner built-in for 4K broadcast reception, and the S95F's Tizen Smart TV OS supports all of the popular streaming services. The pure eye candy of the Samsung S95F is available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch screen sizes.
If you want the best picture quality in a 2023 4K television, look no further than the Sony Bravia XR A95L! The A95L took first place in a respected 4K HDR TV shootout, and this is the second year in a row that Sony's flagship quantum dot OLED (QD-OLED) display has received this hard-earned reward. QD-OLED's main characteristic is its pure RGB subpixel design that delivers outstanding color purity and brightness compared to other OLED and LCD televisions. The only drawback of the Sony A95L TV is that it is only available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch screen sizes. If the size options work for you, the Sony A95L will deliver a premium viewing experience.
The 2024 TCL QM8 4K Mini LED TV is fantastic tech for the price. The new QM8 features upgraded Mini LED backlighting with up to 3400 nits of brightness and thousands of zones of local dimming control that deliver eye-grabbing picture contrast. The new QM8 supports all popular HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. PC and console gamers will appreciate the TV's 144Hz VRR panel refresh rate. The QM8's Google TV operating system is easy to use and supports all popular streaming services. TCL has also added a NextGen/ATSC 3.0 tuner to the QM8 series for receiving local 4K broadcasts. The TCL QM8 TVs are available in 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, 98-inch, and 115-inch screen sizes.
The 2024 Hisense U8N Mini-LED 4K TV continues the series trend of providing a compelling value of outstanding picture performance and integrated features. This Google TV-powered display is compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10 for superb streaming quality. Its mini-LED backlight tech with effective local dimming can deliver an eye-catching brightness of over 3000 nits in SDR and HDR - ideal for brighter viewing environments. Remarkable picture contrast and quantum dot color make the U8N a terrific home theater value. I appreciate that the U8N also includes a NextGen/ATSC 3.0 tuner for receiving local 4K broadcasts, and it calibrates rather nicely! The Hisense U8N is available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch screen sizes.
