The Best TVs We’ve Reviewed in 2025: Sony, Samsung, LG, and More

Honorable Mentions

There are truthful galore bully TVs available, we can't adhd them each to our apical list. Here are immoderate large options that either missed the chopped oregon got knocked disconnected our apical database by their replacements.

Hisense U8QG: The U8QG is simply a large bargain astatine its lowest terms (around $1,000 for a 65-inch model) and a coagulated prime supra that price, particularly if you privation eye-searing brightness supra each else. I noticed immoderate SDR colour accuracy issues (some images looked mode excessively red) and recovered it hard to support it from wildly over-brightening immoderate content. Thankfully, you tin ever crook it down, and its atomic powerfulness works is paired with fantabulous achromatic levels, heavy contrast, and plentifulness of features. I really similar past year's likewise punchy U8N, but it's getting harder to find successful stock.

TCL QM7K (2025): I’ve had a love/hate narration with the QM7K. Part of TCL's caller Precise Dimming series, its opulent achromatic levels and opposition scope toward OLED heights, matched by bully brightness for immoderate spectacular moments. The problem? My reappraisal model’s colors were off-kilter, with an unusual greenish tint successful prime achromatic and grayscale content. Thankfully, I confirmed that TCL's latest firmware update fixed the issue. The TV's representation processing and colors inactive don't drawback premium TVs, and this is the 2nd twelvemonth successful a enactment I've recovered a troubling show contented with the QM7. You shouldn't bargain it astatine afloat price, but if you tin get the 65-inch exemplary for $1,000 oregon less, it's a beauteous enticing choice.

Samsung S95D: Samsung's erstwhile S95 matte-screen marvel is inactive a fabulous QD-OLED TV that would beryllium adored successful virtually immoderate TV room. We similar the newer mentation better, which begs less compromises erstwhile it comes to heavy achromatic levels, but if you tin find the erstwhile mentation connected a slayer deal, you won't beryllium sorry.

Hisense U7N: If you’re aft a TV astatine akin pricing to the QM6K but with immoderate other oculus tingle, past year's Hisense U7N offers a superior brightness boost implicit our apical prime and inactive ranks among our favourite options for your money. Its blooming power and surface uniformity aren’t arsenic refined arsenic the QM6K's but it’s got plentifulness of features, including large gaming credentials and a streamlined Google TV interface. It's inactive a large bargain portion banal lasts, particularly astatine $700 oregon less.

Sony A95L: Sony yet replaced this saccharine surface with the 2025 Bravia 8 II, which offers likewise unthinkable representation processing and upscaling alongside enhanced colors and higher HDR brightness. That shouldn't deter you from considering the A95L (9/10, WIRED Recommends) astatine a little price. With fabulously immersive representation prime and an intuitive Google TV interface, this is simply a premium bundle that's precise enticing connected a bully sale.

Sony Bravia 7: The Bravia 7 is simply a gorgeous display, offering superb brightness, naturalistic colors, and suave finesse successful the subtle details. Its biggest sound is precise mediocre off-axis viewing, which could beryllium pugnacious to swallow astatine its precocious database price. Otherwise, it's worthy considering for fans of that Sony glow, particularly since Sony seems to beryllium discounting its champion QLED TVs overmuch much liberally than its OLED models.

Other TVs We’ve Tested

Samsung The Frame Pro: I enactment the Frame Pro done our afloat reappraisal process and came distant some successful limbo owed to bundle issues and (so far) unimpressed with the performance. The matte surface looks slick erstwhile displaying art, particularly if you acquisition 1 of the add-on frames (a framework for the Frame?) from Samsung oregon Deco TV Frames. Picture show was different middling astatine best. It's overmuch brighter than the accepted Frame, and the colors pop, but its edge-lit mini LED strategy does not look bully with acheronian 4K HDR content, adjacent successful the day. Moreover, I had occupation with its precise sluggish operating strategy (which others person reported) and stuttering Blu-ray playback. We're awaiting a 2nd model, which we anticipation relieves the bundle issues, but steer wide for now.

TCL QM7: There's lone 1 happening holding backmost 2024's beautifully balanced QM7: a bundle glitch. During my review, I experienced an contented wherever adjusting SDR backlight levels affected HDR, which tin pb to terrible brightness limitations. While TCL fixed the contented successful a firmware update for me, I ne'er got confirmation connected a broader OTA fix. Most folks astir apt won't person this issue, truthful the QM7 is inactive worthy considering, but marque definite and cheque it earlier throwing retired the box.

TVs We're Testing Next

Samsung S90F: The follow-up to our favourite gaming TV could beryllium among the champion OLED values of the play (it usually is). I'll beryllium semipermanent investigating it implicit respective weeks, truthful I should find each nook and cranny for an in-depth evaluation.
