8K might feel a bit like overkill to some, but there’s no doubt in our mind that the Samsung QN900A Neo QLED 8K TV has ushered in a new era of television technology. Samsung’s Mini LED-sporting QN900A Neo QLED, 8K TV, offers stunning picture quality, exceptional color and brightness, terrific sound and outstanding blacks – all in a package that’s unmatched in terms of design.

3. Best flagship 4K TV: LG C1 OLED Series
The LG C1 OLED is the 2021 replacement for the LG CX OLED. As expected, it’s an amazing TV, but aside from a few minor tweaks and upgrades—like the new ‘Game Optimizer’ settings, a redesigned Magic Remote, and a new version of WebOS—it performs about the same as its predecessor. Like all OLED TVs, it has self-lit pixels that can be turned off individually to produce an almost infinite contrast ratio.

The Samsung QN90A Neo QLED is one of the first 4K screens in 2021 to use the company’s hyped-up Neo QLED panels that sport a higher count of light-emitting diodes per square inch than previous generations. The result is a brighter TV than before, if that’s even possible with Samsung and one that can display a deeply satisfying array of colors.

9. Best ultra-budget OLED: Vizio OLED TV
Of course, as an OLED screen, the Vizio OLED has both some big advantages (and a few flaws) worth pointing out upfront. In the former category, we have exceptional black levels and extremely thin chassis. The other benefits of OLED are the exceptional contrast and wider viewing angles than most folks can appreciate. The downside is that OLEDs, in general, aren’t as bright as their LED-LCD counterparts, and Vizio’s OLED, in particular, is dimmer than most.

10. Best ultra-budget TV: Hisense H8G Quantum
The Hisense H8G Quantum Series is a great choice for those looking to spend little and get a lot from their smart TV. At just $700 for the 65-inch version of the Hisense H8G – after a massive price drop from its original RRP – it’s an outstanding value. You do not have to make do with a sub-standard set, though, as the apps are easy to find and use. Motion is brilliantly smooth, too, with great performance across HD and 4K video despite a drop in brightness compared to competing QLED models.
