The 5 Best OLED 4k TVs - Fall 2019
Reviews

The LG B9 is the best OLED TV we've tested so far. It has excellent picture quality, just like all OLEDs. It delivers outstanding dark room performance thanks to the perfect blacks, due to its panel's ability to switch off individual pixels. The viewing angles on OLED TVs are great, and you can seamlessly watch from the side and still enjoy an accurate image. OLED TVs are set apart by their features that help handle motion and gaming. They all have an almost instantaneous response time that delivers crisp motion with virtually no blur. Unfortunately, this makes panning shots in movies to appear to stutter; this TV has a motion interpolation feature that can help minimize this effect. It has a wide color gamut and can get decently bright to deliver HDR content with vivid colors and highlights that pop. When gaming, this TV feels very responsive thanks to the extremely low input lag, and also supports HDMI Forum variable refresh rate technology for nearly tear-free gaming. This TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports, which currently don't add much but make the TV more future-proof.

This TV has the risk of temporary image retention and permanent burn-in. We don't expect most people to experience this with normal varied content, as this is more likely to occur as a result of cumulative exposure to static images for prolonged periods. Because of this, this TV isn't the right choice for extended use as a PC monitor.

Overall, this is a great TV, and is the best OLED TV currently available.

The best OLED TV for watching movies is the Sony A9F OLED. It has the same excellent picture quality found on all OLEDs, but doesn't support HDMI Forum VRR. On the upside, this TV has an excellent color gamut, very good color volume, and displays rich, saturated colors and highlights that pop when in HDR. Motion handling is excellent and motion is crisp thanks to the almost instantaneous response time. The input lag is good for most casual players, but it might not please competitive gamers. It runs the very fast Android TV 8.0 smart platform, but unfortunately, just like all OLED TVs, it also has the risk of temporary image retention and permanent burn-in.

Most OLED TVs from the same year have a picture quality in the same ballpark, even across brands. While it's pricier, this TV has a small edge for people that watch HDR movies and want color accuracy. It has slightly better gradient handling, better color volume, and a less aggressive automatic brightness limiter (ABL) than other OLED TVs like the LG B9 OLED.

Overall, this is an excellent TV with an outstanding movie performance.

The LG E9 is the OLED TV with the best sound quality from the ones we've tested so far. It has a unique, more premium design than the LG B9 OLED and the LG C9 OLED, but delivers the same excellent overall performance. It has a remarkable picture quality with perfect blacks that look great in a dark room. It can get fairly bright to fight the glare of a bright room, and when in HDR it displays vivid colors and highlights that pop. The TV has wide viewing angles, as all OLED TVs do, and an almost instantaneous response time that makes motion look crisp with almost no blur trail behind fast-moving content.

The dedicated soundbar at the front of the TV delivers good sound quality. It can get fairly loud without much pumping and can deliver a decent amount of punch and body to its bass, although it lacks the thump or rumble you'd expect to hear in action scenes. For better sound, you can check out our recommendations for the best soundbars.

Overall, the E9 is best sounding OLED TV for 2019.
