The best QLED TVs 2024

The Bravia 9 is Sony's flagship model for 2024. It's big, too – offering only 75-inch and 85-inch models.

All that screen real estate serves up a feast for the eyes and ears. Featuring Sony's XR Backlight Master Drive with High Peak Luminance tech, the Bravia 9 borrows from Sony's professional grade monitors, delivering exceptional peak brightness, and superb contrasts.

HDR support is a given. The XR processor supports 4k upscaling for lower resolution content, while XR Motion Clarity reduces motion blur. XR Triluminos Pro reproduces over a billion colours, X-Wide Angle keeps pictures looking great even when off to the side, and X-Anti Reflection reduces glare – ideal for bright spaces. Basically, the picture is outstanding, and particularly good for watching 4K movies, or sports.

There's plenty more, too. Gamers benefit from support for 120HZ variable refresh rates, ALLM, and automatically optimising settings for PlayStation 5 users. There are, however, only two HDMI 2.1 ports, which is a little disappointing. Audio is similarly excellent, with a 70-watt sound system Acoustic Multi-Audio+ designed to mimic a cinematic surround sound experience. There's also support for Dolby Atmos and DTS.

The fact it only comes in two screen sizes is frustrating. And because those sizes are big, the price tag is quite high. But other premium TVs at this size will often cost more. This is about as good as QLED gets.

The best TVs for gaming usually includes a few essential features. 144Hz variable refresh rate, auto low latency mode and AMD Freesync Premium are all available in this Hisense TV, designed with gamers in mind. Game Mode Pro also helps to reduce input lag, in turn ensuring faster reaction times, and more chance of coming out on top. There are two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a further two HDMI 2.0 ports. 

There's plenty of other great features as well. Dolby Vision IQ, HDR support and Filmmaker Mode are all present, while audio support includes 40-watt 2.1 channel speakers, a built-in subwoofer, DTS Virtual: X and Dolby Atmos.  

This TV ranges from a 55-inch screen to an incredible 100-inch screen, depending on how much room you have. It's extremely competitively priced, too, with the RRP of the 55-inch model a very reasonable £999 (and sometimes available for less than £700). At that price, you're getting exceptional value for money.

Amazon's Fire TV Omni is a brilliant QLED TV for anyone who doesn't want to break the bank. The 55-inch model has an RRP of £749.99, while the largest 65-inch display will still cost less than a grand. This TV is often discounted as well – we've seen the 55-inch model available for a little more than £500, making this superb value for money.

And it's no slouch, either. In return for your hard-earned gold coins, you get an excellent QLED screen that delivers vibrant pictures, inky blacks (thanks to a full-array LED setup with 64 individual zones) and rich colours. You also get the usual HDR support.

There's plenty here for gamers, too. ALLM and VRR are available to support fast-moving games. The big compromise is that you're getting a 60Hz panel, rather than the 120Hz panel you'll find on pricier rivals. But for many, this is a compromise worth making for the price tag.

And finally, because it's an Amazon telly, you'll enjoy access to Amazon's bespoke OS, which gives users one of the best smart TV platforms out there. Support for all the major streaming services is here, and you can also utilise the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns the TV into a canvas for displaying art, photos, and useful widgets.

Like many Samsung TVs, the design is gorgeous, with an almost imperceptible bezel housing a screen that's just 21mm deep. And the 4K screen is a cracker, featuring Quantum Matrix technology which gives it 1344 independent lighting zones to create exceptional contrast. It's arguably the best QLED TV for bright rooms you can buy. Auto HDR enhancement remasters lower definition content, and AI upscaling improves detail so that it feels like anything you watch is in 4K.

Gamers are incredibly well catered for, with four HDMI 2.1 ports, FreeSync Premium Pro and Motion Xcelerator that supports up to 4K 144Hz for PC gaming. Console gamers can enjoy VRR and ALLM up to 120Hz. AI Auto Game Mode automatically adjusts the settings based on the genre of game you're playing, to give you the best possible experience.

Audio is similarly impressive, with eight speakers delivering Dolby Atmos to create an immersive soundscape. Object Tracking Sound+ makes sound come from the right place on the screen, while AI is used to make the sound suit your space. Voices are prioritised over background noise, and sound is adapted to suit whatever you're watching. 

This is a simply stunning television, and there are no other 65-inch QLED screens that can match what this one offers. The RRP of £3299 is perhaps a little punchy, but discounts are sometimes available – we've seen this on offer for £2599 before.

If you're looking for a 4K TV under £500, then TCL is a brand that's well-known for its affordable TV offerings. Here, the TCL 55C655K is a great example of how a company can deliver a good quality TV at a wallet-friendly price. With an RRP of £469, this 55-inch model falls under £500. And when it's on offer, you may be able to get it for less than £400. If you prefer a different size, this TV is available from 43-inches, up to 98-inches.

It's a great-looking TV, with a virtually bezel-less design that makes it appear far more expensive than it is. The stands can be set in one of two configurations, which means you can adjust it to fit a smaller display stand, or to make room for a soundbar.

Colours are vivid, and contrast rich, thanks to HDR Pro, which also supports multiformat HDR. ONKYO stereo speakers (on 55-inch screens and larger) support Dolby Atmos for an immersive soundscape, while gamers benefit from ALLM, Dolby Vision gaming, with up to 120Hz refresh rate. Android TV provides a seamless user interface for all your favourite streaming services.

The Samsung QN900D isn't just the best 8K QLED TV – it's one of the best 8K TVs, period. This is Samsung's flagship television for 2024, and given the company's track record of producing phenomenal screens, it's no surprise that this is so good. Just be prepared to pay for it – the 65-inch model typically costs around £4000 (the RRP was originally £4999), while the largest, 85-inch version will cost you about £8000 (RRP originally £9499). Clearly, this isn't meant for everyone. 

For those who are willing to break the bank, you're getting what is one of the most impressive TVs on the market. AI processing upscales everything as close to 8K as it can. So, even though 8K content is relatively scarce now, it won't feel like it when you're watching this. AI also helps improve image depth and reduce motion blur. 

The QN900D also has the highest density of Mini LEDs in any Samsung TV. This helps the screen to deliver incredibly good brightness levels, and brilliant contrast. The anti-reflection screen also helps reduce distractions on the screen, while Ultra Viewing Angle means the picture still looks great even when you're off-centre. 

The 12-speaker array is supported by Dolby Atmos, and Object Tracking Sound+ makes sound follow the action on screen. Sound is also optimised for wherever your TV is located, thanks to that AI processing.  

Gamers will appreciate Motion Xcelerator up to 4K 240Hz on compatible PC games. There's also FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR at 120Hz in 4K, and 60Hz in 8K, and ALLM. AI Auto Game Mode helps get the perfect settings for whatever game you're playing.   

If you want the best 8K television, this is it.
