Best mid-priced picture for the money
Vizio P-Series 2016

Forget the included tablet remote, the real story with the Vizio P series is image quality that competes well against much more-expensive TVs.

Best picture quality, money no object
LG OLEDB6P series

LG's 2016 OLED TVs stand head and shoulders above TVs that use LED LCD technology, with the best picture we've ever tested. Just be prepared to pay the big bucks.

Best non-4K 55-inch picture quality
LG 55EG9100

It's curved, with 1080p resolution, and only available in one size, but the cheapest LG OLED delivers a spectacular picture.

Best 4K TV value
Vizio M series (2015)

Vizio's 2015 M series is still a great value if you want 4K resolution and an excellent overall picture, but lack of HDR might be an issue for some.

Best inexpensive TV with a good picture
Vizio E series (2015)

Local dimming allows Vizio's 2015 E series to outperform many other budget-priced TVs. It's not 4K and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it's one of the best values going.

Best built-in smart TV system
TCL S3800 series (Roku TV, 2015)

Roku is our favorite platform for streaming apps like Netflix, and it's even better baked into the TV. Image quality on this TCL won't blow you away, but it's perfectly fine for the price.

Best LCD if you don't want a Vizio
Sony XBR-X930D series

If you're have something against Vizio, but aren't ready to trade up to an OLED TV, the excellent picture and slim styling of this Sony could be just the ticket--as long as you can afford to punch it.

Best TV for bright rooms
Samsung UNKS8000 series

With a searingly bright image and a new screen finish that better handles reflections, this Samsung SUHD shines in the sun. Just don't expect peak performance when the lights go low.

Best Smart TV system with 4K
TCL US5800 series (Roku TV, 2016)

Just like its non-4K cousin above, TCL's 4K Roku TV delivers a superior Smart TV experience for an affordable price. But picture quality isn't any better, despite all those extra pixels, so it's not as good of a value.

Best non-OLED curved TV
Samsung UNJS9500 series

Maybe you're not 100 percent confident in OLED technology, or you've got something against LG, or you want a TV with a curve. This expensive Samsung checks all three boxes.
