What Cusomers Say

“I had a flat-screen TV that died recently, and I’ve always used hand-me-downs. Finding this TV was a great relief! It has HDMI inputs, which is perfect for my broken laptop, and the price was fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised to find Vudu and various other apps available. The picture quality is clear, and I can actually see details in movies now. The only downside is the stand placement; it requires a stable table to support it properly.”

“I ordered this TV on December 23rd and it arrived in less than 24 hours. Setting it up was a breeze, and the price for a brand new unit was unbeatable. The picture quality is 720p, which is just right for my bedroom, and the remote works perfectly. I have no complaints at all about this purchase!”

“I got this TV for my kitchen because I needed something with good sound quality amidst all the noise. It’s been perfect! The picture is great, and I can control it with my Echo device, which is super handy when I’m cooking. I love the Fire TV features! Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.”

TOP 3 BEST TVS 2025

1 : Samsung S90D OLED

Here’s a rounded oue brightest 4K ever take on the Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED based on multiple expert reviews.

Tom’s Guide calls it “nearly on par with OLED but with better brightness praising its peak brightness and ATSC 3.0 tuner The Shortcut notes its stunning contrast-rich display and near-OLED-level black suppression, peaking around 2,816 nits.

Home Theater Review dubs it “the best Mini‑LED TV of 2024”, highlighting impressive brightness, contrast, and color accuracy delta E ~1.4 Wired (rating 9/10) mentions professional-grade color presets, Dolby Vision Bright mode, calibration modes for Netflix/Prime, and a strong 70 W speaker setup with upward-firing tweeters.

ideal for average gaming setups, but there are faster TVs with more HDMI 2.1 support Still positioned as Sony’s flagship 4K Mini‑LED for cinephiles in 2025, with pricing easing to around same as Sony’s QD‑OLED Bravia 8 II Viewed as the best LED alternative to OLED: it outshines many others in bright-room performance and stays competitive on price vs top-tier OLEDs.

If your priority is stunning HDR picture quality, bright-room performance, reference-level cinematic playback, and immersive built-in sound, the Bravia 9 is one of the best LED TVs available today—especially with 2025 pricing adjustments. However, if you’re a competitive gamer, need more HDMI 2.1 ports, or wider viewing angles, some OLED models (e.g., LG C5/G5, Sony Bravia 8 II) may offer more complete packages for similar money Let me know.

Samsung has replaced boards under warranty, but quality control remains hit-or-miss Comparisons note slight blurriness versus LG C4 in sharpness tests, though this is contested

Factors to consider when choosing a TV

With all of the TVs available today, and all of the technical terms and jargon associated with television technology, it can be tough to figure out what’s important. Here’s a quick guide to help cut through the confusion.

Picture quality: Broadly speaking, the type of display technology helps dictate how good a TV’s picture quality is, but OLED is typically the best display technology, and this is followed by LCD (including QLED, and Mini LED). OLED tends to have the best picture quality because it doesn’t need a backlight and every pixel can be either on or off, leading to great black levels. In comparison, each LED in a backlight looks after multiple pixels at a time so it isn’t as precise — it’s not yet 1:1. Among midrange models, look for a feature including full-array local dimming, mini-LED and 120Hz refresh rate, which (unlike some other extras) do help improve the picture in my experience. Additionally, If a TV uses Quantum Dots it often leads to better color performance, whether it’s an OLED or an LCD.

Screen size: Bigger is better in my book. I recommend a size of at least 43 inches for a bedroom TV and at least 55 inches for a living room or main TV — and 65 inches or larger is best. More so than any “feature,” stepping up in TV screen size is the best use of your money. One of the most common post-TV-purchase complaints I’ve heard is from people who didn’t go big enough. And I rarely hear people complain that their TV is too large. It’s worth adding that while  4K resolution is sufficient for even the biggest models, and  as they represent a poor comparative value.

Price: TVs range in price from $100 to more than $2,000. Smaller screens are cheaper, well-known brands are more expensive and spending more money can also get you better image quality. Most entry-level TVs have a good enough picture for most people, but TVs last a long time, so it might be worth spending more to get a better picture. It’s also best to shop for a TV in the fall when prices are lower.

Sound quality: Every TV has some sort of built-in speaker, but in my twenty years of reviewing AV equipment the sound of modern TVs has been routinely terrible. While I do test the audio on each model, if you are serious about sound quality then buying a  (from $100) or home theater system will instantly improve vital aspects such as speech and bass reproduction.

Smart TV: Among entry-level TVs the most important feature is what kind of smart TV system the TV uses, and while some are proprietary to each brand (Samsung and LG) some models do offer Roku and Google TV.

TV brightness according to CNET’s testing

One important aspect of image quality I test is overall brightness using the CS-2000 spectroradiometer. Here’s how brightness compares across select TVs listed above.

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, 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 are some ballpark prices that will get you a very good TV in 2025.

• 55-inch: $700
• 65-inch: $1,000
• 75-inch: $1,300

You could pay (much) more or less. The fact is that 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 answer also depends on room size and seating distance If you have a big room and sit farther away, you’ll want a bigger TV. 

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, particularly for voice commands. In any case, we don’t consider the built-in smart TV system that important because you can always  connect a steaming device to any tv.

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 a bass. If you want to get good sound, you should buy an external audio system. Even an inexpensive soundbar will deliver much better audio quality than a TV’s built-in speakers.
