The best OLED TVs

Considering that this LG OLED C2 is edging towards the larger screen bracket, we think this is incredible value for money. LG has packaged the picture quality of OLED into a minimalist ultra-thin TV with LGs signature build and design. This is a stunning 4K TV that sports the next generation of α9 Gen5 AI processors that improve and upscale image quality in real time. It even maximised depth of field and performs Body and Object enhancement for even more realism. There's Dolby Vision for that all-important HDR performance, and the whole set is complemented by Dolby Atmos sound.

A key feature here, in OLED terms, is the 0.1ms response time. Then, in addition to the low input lag, the C2 also has a variable 120Hz refresh rate - compatible with Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync. All in all, this much high-tech goodness will deliver a seriously snappy experience for gamers - and all at amazing value for an OLED set.

Perfect for gamers and movie buffs, this seriously brilliant 65" S95B from Samsung ticks almost all of the boxes when it comes to sheer picture quality. And it achieves this through the Quantum Dot version of OLED (more on that in the buyer's guide at the end of the page).

In short, the one shortcoming of many an OLED TV is brightness - those tiny pixels have to emit their own light as there's no backlight. QLED screens get over this by using a backlight, colours and brightness are better, but blacks can be washed out with poor contrast. QD OLED gives you the sweet spot between both of these panel types.

This is an awesome piece of entertainment kit, with a 120hz variable refresh rate to keep fast-motion content like sports or gaming crisp, smooth and free from screen tear.

Sony's Bravia XR-48A90K OLED TV is remarkably refined, with a super-thin screen with tiny bezels. It's an absolute beast when paired with a PS5 due to its faultless 120 Hz refresh rate and Sony's special 'Perfect for PlayStation' features built into its XR models. One such feature is Auto Tone Mapping which adjusts your PS5 games' HDR colour performance based on whatever is on the screen. 

At a very respectable 48 inches, this 2022 OLED TV is large enough to satisfy most viewers; but if you're looking for something just a little larger, there are, of course, plenty of 55-inch TVs to choose from. This one is slightly smaller, but make no mistake - it packs a technical punch. It has all of the usual Sony tricks like HDR and smart TV functions, but one serious piece of Sony wizardry is its XR Triluminos Pro technology. This enables a wider colour palette to further enhance the HDR experience.

Acoustic Surface Audio+, standard in most modern Sony TVs nowadays, turns the surface of the screen into the speaker. So, in sound terms, the origin of the sound can be 'moved' with the picture. The dialogue will seem more natural, and sound effects are certain to enthral.

Samsung appears for a second time on our list - and for good reason. The S95C QD OLED TV is a 65-inch powerhouse packed with all of the usual Samsung goodies for your viewing pleasure. As expected, once again, you have the benefits that Quantum Dots bring to the OLED panel. But you also have a massive screen housing smart TV apps, Alexa voice assistant built-in, Dolby Atmos DTS Object Tracking Sound, and a grand total of six (yes, six...) 60w integrated speakers.

With a variable refresh rate of 120hz, HDR, and auto-upscaling to 4K, this is a stunning OLED model that won't disappoint.

Finding an OLED screen around 48 inches from a premium brand is a rarity. Even more so when that TV has all of the major HDR standards built into it. Yes, when it comes to supporting the richest, widest and deepest colour palette, this has HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and even HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). There's also Netflix Calibrated Mode for an optimal binge-watching experience. The 4K panel is paired with Panasonic's HCX AI Processor; this will finesse colour, contrast and detail on the fly for the very best picture no matter what you're watching.

Sound-wise, you have Dolby Atmos surround sound, although - as with many smaller TVs - you may want to consider a soundbar for a fully immersive audio experience. There's even a Game Mode to enhance those late-night multiplayer matches. All in all, this set from Panasonic is an OLED gem to suit smaller rooms without compromise.

LG really has maxed out the spec when it comes to gamer-friendly features on this top-of-the-range C2 OLED TV. The HDMI 2.1 ports will support a response time of 1 ms, so again, this works with low input lag to make gaming super-snappy. But here's the killer gaming feature: 120hz variable refresh rate and support for both AMD and NVIDIA-based games

Dolby Atmos is present, so you can expect immersive sound from the punchy built-in 40W speakers. There's the usual real-time AI picture-enhancing tech, and LG's Game Optimiser, to further heighten your gaming experience. This is close to being a perfect gaming TV in terms of future-proof features; It could be a long time before you'll feel the need to upgrade this undisputed king of gaming TVs.
