The 9 Best TVs We’ve Tested (2023): Cheap, 4K, 8K, OLED, and Tips

Save up for new screen? To help you navigate dozens of seemingly identical TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio, TCL, Sony, and more, we’ve reviewed hundreds of hours of their content and selected a few of our favourites. We’ve listed everything from the very best TV to the best budget TV you can buy and some great options in between.

All of these models are 4K Ultra HD pixelated (and some are 8K) because there’s no longer a good reason to buy a standard HDTV. TVs now come with great displays, but they’re terrible with sound and can have dull interfaces, so you should also invest in a good soundbar and streaming TV box if you can’t find the right app. If you’re unfamiliar with the jargon used by TV manufacturers, our How to Buy a TV guide can help.

Updated January 2023: We’ve removed older models and updated this guide to include our latest favorites from Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, Hisense, and TCL.
