I'm What Hi-Fi?'s TV and AV Editor, and I've been testing TVs and home cinema products (as well as hi-fi kit and headphones) for over 18 years. I've always been a massive TV nerd and got into reviewing so I could find the best TVs and recommend them to others. I firmly believe that great quality shouldn't cost a fortune, so I get just as excited about great-value sets as I do the flagship models. Overall, I'm looking for a picture performance that delivers movies and TV shows as intended, a great gaming experience, an app-packed and intuitive operating system, and good sound – though I also believe that any great TV should be combined with a great, dedicated sound system.

Best TV overall

Image 1 of 5

The Sony Bravia 8 II is the successor to the five-star Sony A95L QD-OLED, a model that remains among the very best TVs available, despite being nearly two years old.

Sony has equipped this new model with its latest QD-OLED panel, claiming it delivers 25 per cent more peak brightness than the A95L, and 50 per cent more than the standard Bravia 8.

During extensive testing against both the A95L and Bravia 8, the improvements proved immediately apparent. Peak highlights display noticeably brighter intensity, with pin-prick stars glistening more piercingly against deep space backgrounds.

Bright colours also maintain exceptional vibrancy across all lighting conditions, while Sony's enhanced dark gradation work reveals shadow details that were lost on both comparison models. Folds and wrinkles in clothing, subtle facial expressions, and fine textures emerge clearly where the other sets miss these elements entirely.

The enhanced brightness combines with improved colour reproduction and superior shadow detail through Sony's XR Processor, which features a new AI scene recognition system, creating images with remarkable solidity and three-dimensional presence.

Dramatic sunrise skies appear to stretch toward the horizon with greater depth and contrast, while animated content crackles with colourful energy that maintains natural authenticity.

Getting this exceptional performance also requires minimal effort. Our testing found that simply selecting Dolby Vision Dark for Dolby Vision content or Professional mode for everything else delivers delightfully authentic results. For extra excitement, Dolby Vision Bright or Cinema modes add impact without sacrificing much in the way of accuracy. The presets proved so well-calibrated that most users won't need additional adjustments.

Direct testing with content including Alien: Romulus, Sinners, Into The Spider-Verse, and Pan demonstrated the Bravia 8 II's advantages across all material types. Impressively, we noted that bright HDR content, such as Pan, which is mastered to 4000 nits, showcased the TV's exceptional tone mapping and highlight handling. Even standard-definition content from The Thin Blue Line displayed impressively clean upscaling with notable sharpness and detail improvements.

On the sound front, Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio+ system uses the same configuration as the A95L, with two actuators vibrating the screen itself for sound reproduction, with two subwoofers providing bass support.

This creates spatial audio that ties directly to visual action while extending beyond the screen's boundaries. Our review noted excellent detail retrieval, convincing dynamic range, and natural tonal balance throughout, ranking it among the very best built-in TV sound systems available. No mean feat, but we still recommend adding a dedicated soundbar.

Elsewhere, gaming capabilities include 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and a Dolby Vision Game mode, plus "Perfect for PlayStation 5" functionality that automatically optimises HDR settings when connected to Sony's console. However, the limitation of just two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 sockets continues, with one doubling as the eARC port.

As for the design, it largely carries over from the A95L, with blade-style feet that must be positioned at the TV's extremes. While this prevents placement on narrow furniture, the feet can be extended to accommodate a soundbar underneath. The remote control represents a downgrade, though, losing the rechargeable, backlit functionality of its predecessor for a basic AAA battery-powered version.

Overall, the Bravia 8 II is a significant upgrade across all areas, making even the excellent A95L appear somewhat flat in direct comparison.

The combination of enhanced brightness, superior shadow detail, and refined AI processing creates images with astonishing dynamism and realism, representing an impressive advancement in OLED tech.

For those seeking exceptional picture quality with minimal setup effort and outstanding (by TV standards) built-in sound, the Bravia 8 II won't disappoint.

Best cheap TV

Image 1 of 12

TCL really does cover all bases. Because, as well as producing high-end fare such as the C8K, it also makes bargain TVs such as this C6KS. And quality this year is superb across the board.

Despite its impressively low price, the C6KS has Mini LED lighting, local dimming and universal HDR support – and that's just for starters. For a 50-inch TV at just a touch over £400, that's very impressive. But that's only on paper – get in front of it and you'll really see what it can do.

Despite the plasticky feet, this TCL looks a lot more expensive than it is – you only notice the plastic build when you're handling it, which shouldn't be very often at all. And trust us, you won't be focused on the frame when you're watching this TV.

Getting any dimming zones at all on a TV at this price is impressive enough, let alone 160 of them. The HVA panel brings a range of improvements, including wider viewing angles and halo control innovations to reduce backlight blooming. You even get gaming features such as ALLM and VRR (though the latter only up to the panel's maximum refresh rate of 60Hz).

The good news continues when it comes to the picture quality. Black levels are excellent for the price, with bucketloads of shadow detail. This makes dark scenes a particular, well, highlight, if that's not a contradiction in terms.

It goes very bright as well, and still performs brilliantly when doing so. "The brightness feels very organic to the 50C6KS’s picture... as well as not generally straining the TV’s black levels and local dimming controls, it doesn’t cause the brightest colours to start looking faded or washed out," we wrote in our review.

There's plenty of refinement and subtle toning of colours. But the picture isn't perfect. Some detail is lost in the brightest highlights, and moving objects do lose a little resolution. Dolby Vision Dark can also go a little too dark, costing it detail. Considering the price and the rest of the performance, though, these flaws are easy to accept.

It supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X, and the sound is very impressive, outperforming some much more expensive TVs. It's detailed and projects well, with clear dialogue. It could use more bass, but what low end it does have doesn't distort.

All told, this is a total TV bargain. If your budget is limited and 50 inches works for you, we recommend tha you don't hesitate.

Best 42-inch TV

Image 1 of 12

LG has long led the way with 'small' OLEDs, and the 42-inch C5 is the best TV of its size that we've tested. It stands to reason, then, that it is now a What Hi-Fi? Awards winner.

That said, not a great deal has changed since last year's C4, particularly in terms of design. This is a slim and lightweight TV, with low-profile feet rather than the pedestal that comes with larger versions of the C5.

Installing the feet is a doddle, but they hold the screen quite low, which can be an issue for all but the slimmest soundbars.

A soundbar is still worth adding, though, as audio quality is one of the 42-inch C5's few weak points. The built-in speakers are clear enough for everyday TV, but they lack the scale, weight and dynamics for cinematically engaging sound.

The smart platform is LG's own webOS 25, which grants fast access to popular streaming apps such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and also cloud gaming services. Navigation is simple, but it's a shame that UK buyers still get the older version of LG’s traditional “clunky” Magic Remote, which lacks backlighting and USB charging.

Under the hood, the TV is powered by LG’s Alpha 9 Gen 8 chip, which features, among other things, a 'Brightness Booster Engine'. This is designed to boost peak brightness, especially when combined with new AI processing, which also helps with upscaling content, tone-mapping in HDR, and enhancing colour retention in dim scenes.

On the features front, the C5 offers a very strong spec sheet for gamers: four full-speed HDMI 2.1 ports, support for 4K at up to 144Hz, VRR, ALLM, and a Dolby Vision Game Mode. HDR formats are well covered too, including HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision. HDR10+ isn't supported, but this is neither a surprise nor much of a loss.

In terms of picture quality, the C5 delivers a cinematic and sharply detailed image. In its default settings, it can feel a little artificial, but switching to Filmmaker mode (with motion smoothing off) yields a much more natural and immersive look, with good contrast, solid peak brightness, and three-dimensional depth.

All told, the 42-inch LG C5 is a brilliant small OLED that delivers top-tier gaming specs, excellent visuals, and a compact form that suits tight spaces. While the sound and remote leave something to be desired, its picture and features make it a very compelling choice.

Best 48-inch TV

Image 1 of 7

The 48-inch size is a very competitive field, but Panasonic has emerged victorious against tough rivals from Samsung and LG.

The Z90B retains Panasonic's "as the director intended" ethos, which is impressive at this small size. It also keeps Panasonic's rather utilitarian design, which isn't the most attractive around. But it is nice and thin, which is especially handy for wall mounting.

The built-in soundbar makes a return, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it does sound better than a lot of TVs this size, but a curse if you already have a soundbar and don't want to pay for a less good built-in version.

It also has a heatsink to boost brightness without risking burn-in and panel degradation. It's an addition we've been wanting from a TV at this size for some time.

Panasonic's latest-gen HCX Pro AI Processor MKII chipset also features, which is the same as seen in the Z95B, and enables AI processing. This also has Panasonic’s 4K Remaster Engine upscaling and a calibrated mode for Amazon Prime Video. And the TV can be Calman calibrated for near-perfect picture accuracy.

The Fire TV OS has all the usual streaming apps, though it is still a little ad-heavy for our liking. And HDR support is comprehensive. You do only get two HDMI 2.1 ports though, whereas Samsung and LG's rivals have four. But otherwise it's well-specced for gaming, with VRR and ALLM, and a maximum refresh rate of 4K/144Hz.

So how does it perform? Excellently.

Filmmaker mode provides the best picture we've seen from a 48-inch TV this year. Colours are warm and rich, with a level of detail that lots of rivals lack. Skin tones have the right colour volume in all lighting conditions, with a warmth even in the darkest parts of a character's face. It's just as impressive as with the brightest parts of the picture.

"Each part is full of detail without any loss of authenticity or addition of artificiality," we wrote in our review.

It's more discerning with its brightest highlights too, which gives them more impact. The downside is that it's not as bright as some 48-inchers, which costs it some 'wow' factor. The detail is there, but you might have to look for it.

Those who appreciate a more authentic picture will love it. But if you want colours that pop and a set that dazzles, maybe look elsewhere.

It's also the best sounding 48-inch OLED we've tested this year. Its built-in soundbar isn't a patch on even an affordable dedicated standalone model, but it is very good for a TV, with decent separation and a good level of low-end heft.

Best budget large TV

Image 1 of 12

TCL has really knocked it out of the park this year, having delivered an impressively consistent range that combines really accessible pricing with eye-opening specs and thrilling-but-measured performances – and the C7K (the QM7K in the US) is the performance-per-pound pick of the bunch.

This Mini LED TV boasts (on the 65-inch model tested) 1008 dimming Zones, Quantum Dot colours, and a claimed peak brightness of 2600 nits. Those figures are pretty much flagship-level, yet the pricing is very much lower mid-range.

Design-wise, the C7K feels surprisingly premium for the price. It’s framed in a slim brushed-metal bezel, with a narrow back housing a multi-channel Bang & Olufsen speaker array.

The central stand does a neat job of hiding cables, and the whole build is slimmer than the step-up C8K, making it a solid pick for wall-mounting.

The C7K's remote is plastic rather than metal, but still feels weighty, and it's smartly laid out, with direct buttons for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+ and TCL’s own Channels.

For gaming, the C7K is well spec’d: four HDMI ports, two of which are HDMI 2.1 affairs with support for 4K/144 Hz, VRR and ALLM. There's a Dolby Vision game mode, too.

All HDR bases are covered, with HLG, HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision all on board.

As impressive as the specs are, the picture is where the C7K really shines. Its local dimming is incredibly effective, especially given the price. Bright highlights are punchy, while blacks are deep and natural, even in demanding HDR scenes.

Shadow detail is excellent, and there’s very little distracting haloing or brightness fluctuation during scene changes.

Colour is bold and vibrant in the Standard preset, while the Filmmaker Mode delivers accurate, more faithful tones without feeling dull.

Processing is strong, too. TCL’s AiPQ engine upscales HD content well, enhancing sharpness without introducing noise or artefacts. And motion handling is also solid – 24 fps film content plays back cleanly with minimal judder.

Those Bang & Olufsen speakers, meanwhile, sound clean and detailed, especially in the mid-range and treble, but bass is limited. The low end doesn’t have quite the punch you would want for really cinematic moments, and very dense soundtracks can feel a little constrained.

Even so, the C7K is a remarkably capable Mini LED TV for its price. Between its blistering brightness, deep contrast, gaming credentials, and strong smart platform, it offers premium-calibre performance at a much more accessible level.

Best super-sized TV

Image 1 of 8

How does TCL do it? This TV is a 98-inch monster with sound by Bang & Olufsen, yet for the size it's eminently affordable, especially given its great performance.

Design-wise, it's all picture, with a very slim bezel and blade-style feet. You will need a large TV cabinet to accommodate it though, as its feet can only sit in the one position.

You get 3000 nits of brightness controlled with 2000 dimming zones, plus TCL's Halo Control features, which aim to reduce the effect of backlight blooming. This is aided by an anti-glare film that reduces reflections.

Google TV brings all the usual streaming suspects, though not Freeview Play or Freely. And it's very well equipped for gamers, with VRR, ALLM, a dedicated Game Bar menu and a 144Hz refresh rate. You also get a full complement of HDR format support, but only two HDMI 2.1 ports.

It also has a great picture. In fact, in our review we said that "pretty much everything about the 98C7K’s pictures is spectacular." The brightness is intense, especially at this size, with small HDR highlights looking every bit as dazzling as on pricier TVs. Halo Control does a stellar job of suppressing any unwanted blooms of light emerging.

It can go dazzlingly bright, but doesn't sacrifice subtlety. And its Filmmaker mode is a masterclass in authenticity.

There is a touch of clouding, but not enough to harm the set's excellent contrast. And Dolby Vision Dark mode does tend to crush a few details out of the picture. There are a couple of other niggles too, but they're small fry in the face of the picture's overwhelmingly positive attributes.

The B&O sound system is detailed and clear, and never becomes overstated, harsh or brittle. But it lacks the same level of bass as a dedicated soundbar.

Again, it's a minor quibble. This huge TV is a big deal indeed.

Best for gaming

Image 1 of 8

LG's C-series models have long been the most popular OLED TVs in town, thanks to their combination of exceptional picture quality, uncompromised features and relatively accessible pricing.

Each year, the brand attempts to squeeze yet more performance out of what is essentially the same W-OLED technology. It's more successful some times than others – but for 2025's C5, it's been very successful indeed.

The claimed upgrades roughly amount to just a small increase in brightness and some new AI software features, but the improvements to real-world viewing are far more significant.

Getting a great picture is just as easy as before: select Filmmaker Mode and your preferred level of TruMotion processing (ours is Cinematic Movement), and you've immediately got a picture that's both authentic and dynamic.

The small amount of additional brightness makes the picture pop more than before, and colours are fabulously rich and vibrant, but the TV is still balanced and cinematically accurate.

Sharpness and solidity are much improved, too, and there's a three-dimensionality that gives even the Sony Bravia 8 a run for its money.

The feature set, as expected from an LG OLED, trumps that of any Sony model. That's thanks in part to the slicker webOS smart platform, but mostly because of the four HDMI 2.1 sockets, each of which supports 4K/144Hz (and 4K/120Hz) gaming with VRR and ALLM.

As with previous C-series models, Dolby Vision gaming is supported, too, and there's a peerless HGiG setting that makes it dead simple to get your HDR games looking excellent and accurate.

Sound quality is far less impressive. There's plenty of clarity and even some warmth to voices, so daytime TV is fine, but there's not enough weight, punch or dynamic range for a satisfying movie experience.

We generally don't mark TVs down for their audio quality, as none sound very good, so we always recommend adding a separate sound system, but if you are determined to live with your TV's built-in speakers, the Sony Bravia 8 is the better option.

Also consider

Samsung S95F
Samsung's flagship QD-OLED shares a panel with the Sony Bravia 8 II, and it gets close to it on performance, too. If you don't mind trading a small amount of accuracy and three-dimensionality for a fancier design and extra HDMI 2.1 sockets, the S95F is the TV for you.

LG G5
LG's flagship 4K TV for 2025 features brand new Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology in place of the G4's MLA tech. It's a really big step forward, particularly in terms of full-screen brightness and colour reproduction, and the G4's stylish design and excellent feature set remain. Ultimately, we feel the Bravia 8 II is the better all-rounder, but the G5 is well worth considering, particularly if you're a big gamer.

How to choose a TV

There’s no single TV that’s perfect for everyone, but your ideal TV is almost certainly on this page. You just need to figure out your budget, how big you want to go, and what technologies are important to you.

Budget and space
Only you will know how much budget and space you have to use, although you will find a handy guide to choosing the right size of TV further down this page.

Panel technology
The next thing to consider is the panel technology. OLED now rules the roost at the premium end of things and is hugely popular thanks to its perfect blacks and pixel-level contrast control. LCD is still a huge deal too, though, particularly at the budget end of the market that OLED currently can’t touch. There are plenty of premium LCD-based TVs that are great, too, most notably Samsung’s top QLEDs, which combine Quantum Dots with Mini LED backlights to deliver the brightest, most vibrant pictures possible. There's also Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, which uses a layer of microscopic lenses on top of the OLED pixels to achieve even more dazzling levels of brightness.

Streaming apps
Also, consider whether the TV you’re looking at has all of the streaming apps you want. While some apps, such as Netflix and Prime Video, are now commonplace, there may be an app that you love that’s less common. The Crunchyroll anime app is a good example. It’s also sadly the case that some streaming apps don’t work as they should on certain TVs. For example, many Google/Android TVs support Disney+, but not with Dolby Atmos. That’s why we manually check not only that every major app is present, but that it’s working at its best.

Gaming features
Serious gamers also need to check that their prospective new TV supports all of the latest gaming features. The most technically advanced and therefore rarest of these is 4K/120Hz, which is supported by the PS5, Xbox Series X and advanced gaming PCs, and results in a more responsive gaming experience. Bit also look out for VRR (which reduces stutter in games) and ALLM (which automatically switches the TV to its game mode when you load one up), both of which are very much worth having. There are a number of TVs on this list that support all of these features, but we have a dedicated best gaming TVs guide for those to whom gaming is the primary concern.

Sound
Finally, you need to consider sound, but that doesn’t mean you should dismiss a TV just because it doesn’t sound good. The disappointing truth is that even the best-sounding TV is far behind a decent soundbar for audio quality, so we always recommend focusing on picture quality when buying a TV and budgeting for a dedicated sound system to go with it. We know that’s not an option for everyone, though, so we do of course test a TV’s speakers as thoroughly as its screen. If the audio quality matters a lot to you, you’ll find all the necessary info below. There’s also a TV in this list that’s serious about Dolby Atmos sound.

How we test TVs

A modern TV is a complex, all-singing, all-dancing bit of kit, so we take days to thoroughly test each model.

The bulk of our testing involves feeding various movies and TV shows into the TV on test and its closest rivals (we have a stockroom full of reference models) simultaneously, using a 4K Blu-ray player such as the Pioneer UDP-LX500 and an HDMI splitter. Here, we're testing all aspects of picture quality using DVDs, 1080p Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays, in both HDR and SDR.

We don't simply accept a TV's out-of-the-box settings, of course. We don't go down the route of professionally calibrating the TVs we test (you shouldn't have to have your TV professionally calibrated to experience its full potential) but we do spend hours testing and adjusting the picture settings and processing modes – using a mix of test patterns and real-world content – until we're confident that we're getting the best performance possible.

We test streaming as well – both in terms of how the TV handles streamed content, which is lower in bit-rate than content from discs, and the streaming apps that the TV natively supports. We manually check that every major app – from Netflix to All 4, Prime Video to Spotify – is not only present but also output in the video and sound formats that it should. Just because a specific app is present doesn't mean it's delivering in all the formats (Dolby Vision and/or Atmos, for example) that it advertises. Experience tells us that it often isn't.

For gaming, we connect both a PS5 and Xbox Series X so we can see how the TV's qualities translate to games and check which advanced gaming features it supports and on which HDMI inputs. Is 4K/120Hz supported? How about VRR? Is there a Dolby Vision game mode? Is there an HGiG preset for more accurate HDR tone mapping? We check all these things and measure input lag using a Leo Bodnar device.

We almost always recommend combining any new TV with a dedicated sound system – at least a soundbar but preferably an AV amplifier and speaker package – but we appreciate that for many people that simply won't do, so we do of course test and rate the built-in sound system for clarity, tonal balance, spaciousness, detail, dynamics and plenty more besides.

All of this testing is conducted by our expert reviewers, who have decades of combined TV reviewing experience, in our state-of-the-art testing facilities in London. This gives us complete control over the testing process, and because all reviews are conducted by a team rather than an individual reviewer, we ensure consistency and fairness.
