Top 5 TV Deals

Hisense’s midrange U7N follows one of my absolute favorite midrange models from last year, the U7K, with even more flash to flaunt. Its mini LED panel serves up sizzling HDR brightness and, just as important, excellent contrast and black levels for impressive control across dark and bright scenes in any environment. You’ll also get vibrant quantum dot colors and great gaming features alongside a 120Hz panel for fluid gaming at top speeds. There are a few downsides to a TV at this price, like poor off-angle viewing and mediocre motion handling, but good luck finding a TV that outmatches all this videophile bounty at a price this low. The U7N adds great usability thanks to its Google TV interface and features like an adjustable optical audio output, so you can use your TV remote to control the volume output for legacy audio devices. At well below $1,000 for a 65-inch model, this very good deal just got great.

If you’re looking for step up from the U7N, Hisense’s flagship U8N (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the brightest TV we’ve ever tested. I’m talking pull out the sunglasses, open all the shades in broad daylight bright, courtesy of its ultra-powerful mini LED panel. That’s all well and good, but what really makes this TV a ringer is that it matches that brightness with fantastic black levels and contrast, with almost no visible blooming around bright objects, alongside voluminous quantum dot colors. You’ll also get a 120Hz panel and top-notch gaming features for the fastest action, an intuitive Google TV interface, and plenty of other features. It has a few flaws, like middling off-axis viewing and motion handling, but at this price, it’s hard to say no to one of our favorite TVs of the year so far.

TCL’s 2023 Q7 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite affordable TVs, offering a knockout blend of bright and colorful picture performance and a boatload of features for the money. Its sparkling display is armed with quantum dots for expansive colors and a 120-Hz refresh rate for sports and gaming. Modern gaming features like VRR (variable refresh rate) let the TV sync up perfectly with high-frame-rate games for smooth, tear-free performance. Unlike some rivals, the Q7 doesn’t provide mini LEDs for premium contrast control, but its hundreds of dimming zones and solid picture processing combine for deep black levels and good contrast. Whether you’re gaming in a sundrenched room or watching film noir in the dark, this TV rises to the challenge while keeping your budget intact.

LG’s C3 TV (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is once again my top candidate for the very best price-to-picture performance. As one of the best TVs we reviewed last year, this looker of an OLED provides a stunning mix of flashy brightness, vivid clarity, and stirringly realistic colors to put the “wow” factor in everything you watch. Even though it’s LG’s step-down model, the C3 loads up premium features, including a four-pack of HDMI 2.1 ports with the top gaming tech, LG’s swift (if sometimes cantankerous) webOS interface, and a stylish yet understated design. The C3 doesn’t get quite as bright as LG’s flagship G-Series, but it serves up the majority of the best from the top shelf at a more manageable price. That means there’s more money left over for a great soundbar, or better yet a sweet pair of bookshelf speakers. What? Did you think I was gonna recommend a mutual fund or something?

Roku’s budget class Plus Series QLED TV has a lot going for it, but its best feature is the Roku-based operating system that runs the show. Roku makes everything simple, from setting up to finding your favorite streaming apps and even summoning the remote from under the dog dish. (How did it even get there?) The Plus Series offers good brightness, solid contrast, and expansive quantum dot colors, all at a surprisingly low entry point. The TV’s biggest drawback is its 60-Hz panel and a lack of advanced gaming features, making it better for those who mostly watch TV and movies. If you want a boost in performance, Roku sells the Pro Series (also on sale), which offers gaming extras and better overall performance. Otherwise, the Plus Series is an ideal pick for TV novices looking to enter the world of 4K HDR without spending a mint.

Samsung’s long-awaited return to OLED TVs was a boon to the industry, with the bold and beautiful S95 QD-OLED series. Turns out, adding the colorful spark of quantum dot technology to the glorious contrast and perfect black levels of OLED was a pretty good idea. The S95C is the second edition of Samsung’s new adventure in OLED, and it’s a flagship worth celebrating. You’ll get fantastic brightness and colors, glorious contrast, wide viewing angles, and top-notch motion handling from the TV’s 120-Hz panel. Like all Samsung TVs, it omits Dolby Vision HDR, and I don’t love its Tizen smart system, but those are the only notable weak points. Apart from the fantastic picture, you’ll get near comprehensive gaming features in Samsung’s Gaming Hub, a solar-powered remote, and a stylish and versatile design. While the newer S95D is brighter, it’s pricier right now and has a new type of anti-reflective screen that comes with its own idiosyncrasies. If you’re after one of the very best TVs you can buy, the S95C is a great pick at a great price.
