Best design in a midprice TV


















Samsung is the brand that sells more TVs than anyone, and one of its most popular is the Q60 series. Its sleek QLED screen design stands out compared with the other TVs on this list -- even though the ultrathin OLED models are sleeker -- and it offers better features, image quality and more sizes than models like the TCL 4-Series and Sony X80K. The TVs listed in this article are all superior va[url=]Read our Samsung Q60B review.







 










Other TVs we've tested


[url=]: Sony is a prominent brand and its higher-end TVs like the X90J do well in reviews, but the entry-level TV in its 2022 lineup, the X80K, didn't make the list. It costs around the same as the TCL 6-Series and Samsung Q60 TVs, and ____ _____ __ ____ __ ____ had a worse picture than both, with lighter black levels and contrast. It's definitely not a bad TV, and we liked its Google smart TV system, color accuracy and connectivity, but you can definitely do better for the money. Read our Sony KD-X80K series review.

: One of many Fire TVs available for sale, this one is typical of the breed: so-so image quality and a smart TV system that lags behind Roku and Google TV. If you're a big fan of Alexa voice or see this TV at a really low price it might be worthwhile, but otherwise go for the TCL 4-Series. [url=].

: The G1 is an excellent overall TV, but compared to the C1 and C2, we don't think it's worth the extra money. Image quality is basically the same as those two models, so you just end up paying extra for its ultrathin, wall-hugging "gallery" design. On the other hand if that price difference is small enough -- sometimes a G1 will cost only $100 more than a C1, for example -- it might be worthwhile for you. Note that this TV's successor, the [url=/tech/home-entertainment/take-a-look-at-lgs-biggest-and-smallest-oled-tvs-ever-yep-its-97-inches/]2022 LG G2, promises a brighter picture, but we haven't reviewed it yet so we can't say for sure. .

How does CNET test TVs?

Our TV reviews follow a rigorous, unbiased evaluation process honed over nearly two decades of TV reviews.

We use  software to evaluate every TV we review. In every CNET TV review, three or more similar TVs are compared side by side in various lighting conditions playing different media, including movies, TV shows and games, across a variety of test categories, from color to video processing to gaming to HDR. Our reviews also account for design, features, smart TV performance, HDMI input and gaming compatibility and other factors.

How much should I spend on a TV?


















Prices vary widely by size and features, from less than $100 for basic 24-inch TVs to more than $2,000 for big OLED models. TVs last a long time, however, so we think it's worthwhile to spend a little extra beyond the bare minimum to get a bigger screen, better picture quality or better features. With that in mind, here's some ballpark prices that will get you a very good TV in 2022.


55-inch: $700

66-inch: $1,000

75-inch: $1,300


You could pay (much) more or less. The fact is just about any TV will produce a picture decent enough to satisfy most viewers. Most complaints you read in user reviews aren't about picture quality. Instead they're about ease of use, smart TV menus or sound (or a broken TV).

















































What size TV should I buy?


















In our opinion bigger is better, and your money is best spent on large screen sizes rather than a slight upgrade in image quality. The : If you have a big room and sit farther away, you'll want a bigger TV. 































Which is better, OLED or LED?


















In our reviews, OLED TVs, which use organic light-emitting diode technology, have always had better picture quality than LED TVs, which are basically LCD TVs that use LED backlights. The main reason is that [url=] with no stray illumination of blooming, which leads to better contrast and pop. LED TVs can get brighter, however, and usually cost less than OLED TVs. 































What is the best smart TV system for streaming?


















At CNET our favorite is Roku for its simplicity, but different systems like Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung and LG have different strengths, in particular for voice commands. In any case, we don't consider the built-in smart TV system that important because you can always .

















































How do I get the best TV sound?


















Most TVs sound terrible, because their thin cabinets don't have room for decent-size speakers or bass. If you want [url=]
