The 4 Best OLED TVs - Spring 2023 Reviews

The LG G3 OLED is the best OLED TV we've tested, especially if you want to upgrade your home theater experience. It stands out from the other OLED TVs on this list thanks to its use of its Micro Lens Array (MLA) layer, which acts as a focusing lens to enhance the brightness of the TV's WOLED panel. Indeed, it's the brightest OLED we've ever tested. It has many additional features, like support for every VRR technology, full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all its HDMI ports, and very low input lag for super responsive gaming.

What makes this a home theater standout is its support of Dolby Vision HDR, allowing it to deliver an incredibly immersive movie-watching experience that perfectly recreates the content creator's intention. It also supports a wider range of advanced audio codecs, including DTS:X, one of the most widely used audio formats on UHD Blu-ray discs, ensuring you'll get the best audio experience possible when connected to a compatible A/V receiver or soundbar. It's the most versatile OLED TV on the market.

If you're looking for a new TV for a bright living room and don't care about advanced home theater features, check out the Samsung S95B OLED. It's very similar to the Sony A95K OLED and very close in performance to the LG G3 OLED. Still, you're losing out on a few advanced features like Dolby Vision HDR support, so some movies don't look quite as good, as well as advanced audio features like DTS:X, so it's a bit more complicated if you want to take full advantage of a home theater receiver and surround sound. What you lose in features, you gain in price: the S95B is significantly cheaper than the A95K or the G3.

Like all OLED TVs on this list, it delivers fantastic picture quality, with deep, inky blacks and no distracting haloing or blooming around bright areas in otherwise dark scenes. What stands out most, however, is its color performance. It displays a wider color gamut than traditional OLED displays like the LG C2 OLED or even the LG G3 OLED. The colors are much brighter and more vibrant, delivering a more realistic viewing experience. It's been replaced in 2023 by the Samsung S95C OLED, which is almost as bright as the G3, and while the S95C is certainly one of the best OLED 4k TVs you can get, it isn't currently worth the price difference over the S95B. As the price decreases, it'll eventually become the better buy, but for now, get the S95B.

The LG C2 OLED is the best mid-range OLED TV we've tested. Although all OLEDs deliver similar fantastic picture quality, this one stands out for its value because it has many gaming-oriented features. It provides the same stunning picture quality as other OLEDs in dark rooms, with perfect blacks and no blooming around bright objects. However, it uses a different OLED panel from the Samsung S95B OLED, so it's not as bright in HDR, and colors aren't as vivid. On the other hand, it's available in a wider range of sizes than the S95B, up to an impressive 83-inch size.

It's an amazing TV for gaming thanks to its nearly-instantaneous response time, low input lag, and great selection of gaming features. It supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, meaning you can take full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X's capabilities with 4k @ 120 fps gaming. It has native FreeSync, HDMI Forum VRR support, and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It uses LG's webOS, a user-friendly smart platform with many apps available to download.

No OLED TVs are available at a budget price point, but the LG A2 OLED is as close as possible. It's a great choice if you want to experience the impressive picture quality that OLED TVs deliver but don't care about the gaming features of the LG C2 OLED. It still provides stunning picture quality in a dark room, with deep, inky blacks that look perfect in the dark, with no distracting blooming around bright highlights in dark scenes.

Thanks to its incredibly low input lag and nearly instantaneous response time, it's excellent for gaming, so you'll enjoy a smooth, responsive gaming experience with very little blur behind fast-moving objects. It's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, so it can't take advantage of the high frame rates supported by the new-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, but it's a great choice if you prefer the 'Graphics' mode of your favorite games.
