Saving up for a new screen? To help 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 to pick out our favorites. We've listed everything from the very best TV to the best budget set you can buy—and a few excellent choices in between.
All of these models have at least 4K Ultra HD pixel resolution (some have 8K), because there aren't a lot of good reasons to buy a standard HDTV anymore. TVs now come with wonderful displays, but they're usually terrible at audio and can have lackluster interfaces, so you should consider investing in a good soundbar and a TV streaming stick. If you're unfamiliar with much of the lingo TV manufacturers use, our How to Buy a TV guide can help.
Updated January 2024: We've added the Sony A95L and Samsung QN90C.
