Similar to shopping for a smartphone and deciding between Android (Google) or iOS (Apple) operating systems, smart TVs run different operating systems, too. The gist is this: If you plan to use a TV in a bright room, we recommend shopping for a QLED TV, if you want the best possible image quality, you should get an OLED TV, and if you want a TV for an extremely dark room, get a QD-OLED TV. Making things even more confusing is Samsung's introduction of a new kind of screen technology - QD-OLED which is a fusion between OLED panels with quantum dots. However, these other panel types can’t achieve the same black levels as OLED TVs do, since they rely on a backlight. It's worth mentioning that OLEDs can’t get as bright as LCD, LED, or QLED TVs, so they are more susceptible to reflections in bright rooms. Just like back in the day when you had to decide on an LCD or plasma display, now, you have to pick from an organic, light-emitting diode display (OLED), liquid crystal display (LCD), a quantum dot LED TV (QLED), or a MicroLED panel. There are three HDR content standards - Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. This stands for high dynamic range, and it makes compatible content look a lot more vibrant than non-HDR footage. We recommend shopping for TVs with 120 Hz refresh rates. A higher refresh rate makes for a smoother motion for live sports and video games. 60 Hz TVs refresh the display image 60 times each second.

It tells you how many times per second a new frame can be put on the screen. It’s worth mentioning that some manufacturers sell 8K TVs, but 8K content is still not readily available, and 8K TVs are pretty expensive, too - between $2,000 and $8,000.

4K TVs have 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, meaning they have four times as many pixels as 1080p HDTVs. A number of affordable televisions have 1080p resolutions (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), but we recommend buying a TV that has a 4K or Ultra HD resolution.

Small TVs (around 32-inches) typically have a 720p resolution. This refers to the number of pixels that compose your TV’s picture. This translates to 3.9 feet away for a 65-inch TV, and 4.6 feet away for a 75-inch option. The recommended viewing distance is 1.5 times the screen height - so for a 55-inch TV, you should be 3.3 feet away. Larger screens are best watched from farther back. However, a big TV won’t do you much good if you don’t have room for it.

Most folks would agree that bigger is better, since the larger the screen, the more immersive the TV. Screens are measured diagonally from corner to corner. The biggest factor in your smart TV buying decision will likely be its screen size. You can feel confident knowing that our picks offer the best picture and audio quality - and come with all the ports you could possibly need for your video game consoles and home theater system. Most allow you to cast content from your smartphone straight to the big screen, and some even pack games and apps for streaming music.

In case you're unfamiliar, smart TVs grant you easy access to thousands of streaming apps, so you can watch your favorite shows and movies at any time - whether they're on Amazon Prime, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, or everything in between. In the same way flip phones have been phased out in favor of smartphones, you'd be hard-pressed to find a TV that isn't smart. If you’re looking for the best overall pick and are ready to add to cart, we recommend the Sony BRAVIA XR X90J 4K TV.
