Anytime is a good time for a new TV! We've broken down the best TV brands on the market to help you decide which model should land in your living room.
When it comes time to buy a new TV, one thing is for certain: you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. Scanning the shelves of your local Best Buy , you’ll be bombarded with enough features, lighting types, and other generalized lingo to make your head spin. But are important specs like 4K, HDR, and refresh rate as important as the companies that actually make the TVs? In most cases, it’s the brand you want to lean on, not the metrics.
Samsung South Korea’s Samsung is the de facto market leader in the world television space, leading competitors like LG and Sony by a wide margin in terms of overall sales. That’s partly a result of the company’s size , but mostly it’s because Samsung makes great TVs with a focus on accessibility.Technically, it’s called Samsung Smart TV Powered by Tizen, but let’s just go with Tizen. Like Samsung’s best smartwatches, the company’s TVs run on a Tizen-powered user interface called Eden 2.0.
Also, Samsung’s newer models — QLED and otherwise — offer some cool features like importing app logins from your phone to save time and the Samsung One Connect box, built to simplify messy cable nests behind TVs .Samsung has so far avoided producing OLED displays like those of LG. So, instead of striking a deal to use LG’s panels, Samsung branded its own LCD tech “QLED.
It should be noted that there’s been a change in how LG will be naming its versions of WebOS going forward, and will now correspond with the year in which they’re released. LG TVs released in 2022 now come with WebOS 22, which is mostly the same as version 6 but adds profiles, smart speaker capabilities when the TV is turned off, and other new features.OLED — Organic Light Emitting Diode — is the premier display technology today.
In 2022, Sony also announced a push into mini-LED technology, announcing its first mini-LED TVs like the Z9K series. We’ve already seen mini-LED technology in other devices like some Apple iPads. It’s a more affordable version of MicroLED tech where the LEDs are a bit larger, but still provide some of the same benefits, including better-localized dimming and contrast. Sony’s processor is key to this as it is designed with backlight algorithms to take the most advantage of smaller LEDs.
Vizio has already shown that its 2022 models, including the amazing P-Series Quantum X, will be carrying on the improvements from 2021, including HDR/Dolby Vision formats, Dolby Atmos, and HDMI 2.1 — as well as faster processors. Plus, gamers will be happy with Vizio’s announcement of a free firmware update to its 2021 models, allowing for compatibility with AMD’s FreeSync technology, which enables smoother graphics when used with compatible gaming consoles and PCs.
Hisense Chinese manufacturer Hisense has been steadily making moves in the TV market over the years, licensing Sharp’s brand name , buying Toshiba’s business in 2017, and making TVs under all three names for the U.S. market. Hisense had a rocky start but found a rhythm making value-conscious Quantum 4K panels.
Toshiba For most of the 20th century, Toshiba was the preeminent name in Japanese television manufacturing, having produced the first Japanese transistor TV in 1959.Hisense spent more than $110 million to buy 95% of Toshiba’s TV business in 2017. The real nail in the coffin came in 2015, though, when Toshiba gave up on making TVs for the U.S. market.
