For
- Beautiful picture
- Excellent smart system
- 4k 120Hz support with VRR
Against
- Lacks HDR10+
By this point, most people know the benefits of OLED TVs and it must be said, that no one does them quite as well as LG.
POCKET-LINT VIDEO OF THE DAY
The chief complaint of OLEDs is addressed well here, it has a higher brightness panel, which makes it much more usable in rooms with high ambient lighting. Of course, the picture quality is top-notch, the webOS platform is well-equipped, and it’s gaming prowess is something to behold. too.
Sony
Sony XR-65A95K

For
- The latest QD-OLED panel tech
- Google TV with Chromecast built-in
- Superb audio
Against
Sony’s cutting-edge QD-OLED panel brings even more brightness to the OLED world, unfortunately, it’ll cost you an arm and a leg, which holds it back from being our top pick.
If you can get past the price, it delivers stunning picture quality and backs it up with some best-in-class processing to enhance things even further. The sound is extremely impressive, too, so you might not need to add a soundbar to your shopping list.
Samsung
Samsung QE65S95B
squirrel_widget_6665677
For
- Bright HDR with OLED blacks
- 4K at up to 120Hz with VRR
- Reasonable pricing (if still very expensive)
Against
- Not the quickest operating system
Samsung’s take on the QD-OLED also impressed us, and its price tag is much more reasonable. It offers brilliant accurate and saturated colours, along with some serious HDR chops.
Black levels are nothing short of perfection. With this model, you won’t get the best speakers, and a lack of Dolby Vision support is also a little disappointing.
Panasonic
Panasonic TX-65LZ2000B
squirrel_widget_12863985
For
- Great image
- Impressive audio
- Great HDR
Against
- Only two HDMI 2.1 ports
Panasonic’s flagship OLED panel has wonderful picture quality and this is bolstered by the excellent HCX image processing. It’s also got some impressive speakers onboard, with full Dolby Atmos support, so works well as an all-in-one solution.
Our only real gripe is the lack of HDMI ports that support high frame rates, and it’s hard to find if you live in the States.
TCL
TCL 65R635
squirrel_widget_12863986
For
- A much more affordable option
- QLED panel with Mini-LED backlighting
- 120Hz refresh rate with VRR
Against
- Not the speediest operating system
While most of the impressive flagship models on our list command a high price point, this option from TCL is much easier to afford. Despite its price tag, it still offers seriously high-end features, like a Mini LED backlight, QLED panel, Dolby Atmos and HDR10+ support. The picture quality is astounding at this price point and it’s backed up by the robust smart features of the Roku TV platform, what more could you need?
