Top pick
This OLED TV pairs top-notch picture quality with ample features, and it’s available in a wide range of screen sizes. But its color reproduction isn’t as vivid as that of our pricier picks.
Who it’s for: The shopper who is willing to pay a premium to get the best of the best. OLED TVs produce the best HDR picture quality, the best motion, and the widest viewing angles of any TV currently available. Learn more about OLED technology in this article.
Why we like it: The LG C5 Series delivers rich color, perfect black levels, and wide viewing angles to produce a gorgeous picture. It doesn’t use newer QD-OLED technology, but it’s still one of the brighter OLED TVs we’ve tested, so you can watch it comfortably in all but the brightest of rooms. Additionally, the C5 Series is great for gamers because of its low input lag, 144 Hz refresh rate, terrific collection of gaming features via the native Game Optimizer dashboard, Dolby Vision support, and four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The C5 doesn’t have the best possible color performance, and 4K over-the-air broadcasts aren’t available with the C5’s built-in ATSC 1.0 tuner (but you can purchase a separate ATSC 3.0 tuner). If you’re willing to pay a premium price for QD-OLED technology and a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner, consider our upgrade OLED TV pick, the Sony Bravia 8 II Series.
