The 6 Best 4k HDR TVs - Summer 2020
Reviews

The best HDR TV we've tested so far is the LG CX. It's an excellent overall TV and with its OLED technology, it's able to turn off individual pixels, producing perfect blacks. It has an outstanding style and it's also an extremely well-built TV with a premium feel.

This TV displays an extremely wide color gamut with near-perfect coverage of the DCI P3 color space used in most content. It also has decent coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space, and out-of-the-box, it has great color accuracy. It's a good choice to use in bright rooms as it has outstanding reflection handling. If you want to use it for HDR gaming, it has a really low input lag, a near-instant response time, and it has support for FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. The built-in speakers are also good if you don't want to buy an external setup, but if you do, it supports eARC, allowing you to send high-quality audio over an HDMI connection.

Unfortunately, like all OLED TVs, it has the risk of permanent burn-in, but this shouldn't be a problem for most people who watch varied content. Still, it doesn't get very bright, so it doesn't make highlights pop the way they're supposed to in HDR. On the upside, it has wide viewing angles, ideal for a wide seating arrangement. Overall, this is an excellent choice for any use, making it the best 4k HDR TV we've tested so far.

The best HDR TV for color accuracy that we've tested so far is the Sony X950H. It's Sony's flagship 4k LED TV and it has a sleek and modern design you'd expect to see on a high-end TV. It's a great overall TV that most people should be happy with.

It's a great choice for watching HDR movies because it displays a great wide color gamut, with outstanding coverage of the commonly-used DCI P3 color space. It also has excellent peak brightness in HDR, making highlights pop the way they're supposed to. You likely won't need to get this TV calibrated as it has excellent out-of-the-box color accuracy, so you can enjoy HDR content as soon as you set it up. With its VA panel, it displays deep blacks and it has a full-array local dimming feature. It has Sony's 'X-Wide Angle' technology, which improves the viewing angles a bit at the cost of its contrast, but it's still not ideal for a really wide seating arrangement.

Sadly, this isn't a great TV for gaming. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, but it doesn't support any VRR technology and its input lag is too high for competitive gaming. Still, it has a great response time, so fast-moving content looks smooth. It has built-in Android TV, with a great selection of apps available to download, and you can watch YouTube and Netflix in HDR. All in all, this is the best HDR TV for color accuracy available for purchase that we've tested.

The best 4k HDR TV in the budget category we've tested so far is the TCL 6 Series/R625 2019. It's one of the TCL's most popular models, and even though the TCL 8 Series 2019/Q825 QLED is better overall, the 6 Series has a more budget-friendly price.

This TV has impressive HDR performance as it displays an extremely wide color gamut. It has remarkable coverage of the DCI P3 color space and decent coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space. It gets bright enough to bring out highlights and it has an excellent contrast ratio with a full-array local dimming feature that produces extremely deep blacks. It has disappointing out-of-the-box color accuracy, so you should get it calibrated to enjoy this TV to the fullest. It's also a good TV for HDR gaming as it has a low input lag, but its response time is slow, so motion looks blurry.

Unfortunately, it has narrow viewing angles, and it has uniformity issues, but this could vary from unit to unit. On the upside, it has built-in Roku TV, so you won't need to get an external box to get a great selection of apps available to download. Overall, this is a TV that won't cost you much and it provides an impressive HDR experience.
