The Best 10 TVs | From LCDs to fancy OLED models | Smart Tech Gadgets

SAVING UP FOR a new screen? The Future 2099 channel helps you navigate the dozens of seemingly identical TV models from Samsung, LG, Vizio, TCL, Sony, and other manufacturers, we've watched hundreds of hours of content on them and picked a few of our favorites. We've listed everything from the best TV to the best budget set you can buy. Make sure to watch all the products through the attached video, and you can also click on the product title below to buy the product directly from Amazon.

No1. TCL 6-Series (2020)

Most of us don't have gargantuan budgets for a new TV, but we do want to buy one that will last. For that, our favorite TV at the moment is the 2020 TCL 6-Series (9/10, WIRED Recommends). It's a beautiful 4K TV that marries advanced technology like quantum dots (great for bright colors) and local dimming (for deeper blacks) with a built-in Roku interface. TCL is known for competitive pricing, and this 6-Series is no exception, providing the image quality we'd expect from LG and Samsung models that cost nearly double the price. It even has Dolby Vision support, our favorite high-dynamic-range format, which provides exceptionally vivid colors.

No.2 Hisense U8G

It doesn't have quite the same gorgeous local dimming as the TCL 6-Series, but a built-in Android interface and 120-Hz refresh rate make this model from Hisense (8/10, WIRED Recommends) a great buy, especially if you own a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. They are capable of taking advantage and displaying some games at 120 frames per second, meaning everything on the screen will look buttery smooth. The center stand is one of the most attractive I've seen on a TV under $1,000—a consideration for those who don't want to hang it on the wall.

No3. TCL 5 Series (50-inch, 2021)

TCL's partnership with Roku has made its TVs quite popular—and they deserve the attention. The 6-Series offers the most perks, but the 2020 5-Series 4K TV with HDR is the entry-level TV we recommend. Unlike its predecessor, which was edge-lit, the latest 5-Series gets full-array local dimming, which means it has deeper contrast than many budget TVs. It's usable for gaming and looks better than the HD set you might have right now. It comes with built-in Roku, so the remote is easy to use, and it streams right out of the box.

No4. The Vizio M-Series Quantum 55-Inch

is a great-looking TV we also like (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Vizio has improved its Smartcast interface, which makes casting tabs from laptops and cell phones that much easier. Expect great contrast, thanks to Vizio's excellent local dimming technology, though not as many zones as you'll get on the TCL 6-series.

No5. LG C1 OLED

LG OLED TVs are better for a simple reason: they light up pixel by pixel. They don't have a backlight, so when you see black areas of the screen, they're as black as possible. This means excellent contrast—perfect for darker scenes in The Mandolorian. LG's WebOS interface isn't our favorite, but the picture quality trumps any qualms we have. I particularly love the 2021 C1 OLED (8/10, WIRED Recommends) because it has Nvidia G-Sync support, which means it works just as flawlessly as a gaming monitor. It is the fastest-responding TV (low input lag), and it has the ability to run 4K at 120 Hz, which means noticeably smoother gameplay on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

No6. Samsung QN90B (2022)

We loved last year's QN90A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for its astonishingly good contrast and extreme brightness in well-lit rooms, and this year's QN90B model is a great follow-up. You get a center pedestal stand (yes!), a 120-Hz refresh rate for the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, and Mini-LED backlighting that gets so bright you'll want to change to Filmmaker Mode for nighttime viewing. I also like that this TV has a very wide viewing angle, making it one of the better models for bright, modern living rooms.

No7. Sony A90J

If you've found your TV viewing time to be one of the only peaceful pleasures of the past several years and want to be further mesmerized by what's onscreen, there is perhaps no better-looking TV than the Sony A90J OLED. Sure, it's expensive, but you won't find anything with the same excellent processing and gorgeous OLED panel. It will change the way you see your favorite content for the better. Depending on what your budget is, such a beautiful picture might be worth the extra money.

No8. Samsung QN900A

We love the deep black levels offered by LG's OLED models, but if money was no object, we'd buy Samsung's 2021 flagship model, the QN900. It has an astonishing 8K display with full-array local dimming for deeper blacks and an amazingly wide viewing angle for bigger rooms. It has AMD's FreeSync technology, which makes games look smoother if you hook it up to a PC using an AMD graphics card. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X next-generation consoles will also support 8K resolutions, You might not be able to find any 8K content to watch for the time being, but if you're looking to buy an amazing, (somewhat) future-proof TV for the upcoming 8K era, the QN900 is the best you'll find.

No9. SAMSUNG 85-Inch
