The 7 Best TVs - Fall 2019
Reviews

If you'll be watching TV with a lot of static content and the risk of permanent burn-in concerns you, then check out the Samsung Q80/Q80R QLED, the best LED TV we've tested so far. You won't get the LG B9 OLED's perfect blacks or wide viewing angles. On the upside, this is an excellent TV with outstanding picture quality and remarkable dark room performance. It has very fast response time, which is great for sports, an extremely low input lag, and several gaming goodies, like FreeSync support that'll please even the most serious gamers.

If you want the best picture quality and perfect blacks, get the LG, but if the risk of burn-in worries you and you don't mind compromising on viewing angles, the Samsung is the best LED alternative.

If you're concerned about burn-in risk and want the best LED TV for watching HDR movies in a dark room, then get the Vizio P Series Quantum X 2019. You won't have the same wide viewing angles as an OLED, and although the TV delivers very deep blacks in a dark room, it doesn't switch off individual pixels. However, the picture quality is great and the dark room performance is remarkable. It has a very fast response time that leaves just minimal blur trail around fast-moving objects, and the TV has an outstanding low input lag that offers a responsive experience. Finally, you can place it in any room as it can get extremely bright and has remarkable reflection handling.

If you're not concerned about burn-in risk and want the best overall performance, get the LG; otherwise, if you don't mind compromising a bit on viewing angles, the Vizio is an excellent alternative.

If you're a serious gamer that needs a lower input lag and more gaming goodies than the Sony X950G, then get the Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED. It has a slower response time than the Sony, and there's a little more motion blur on fast-moving content. On the upside, this TV has a remarkably low input lag and is loaded with gaming goodies, like low latency with motion interpolation and AMD FreeSync support for nearly tear-free gaming. This is also a great TV with impressive picture quality that you can place in any room, as it can get bright to fight glare in a bright room and can deliver deep blacks in a dark room.

If you want the best out of the box color accuracy, get the Sony; however, if the gaming experience on the Sony isn't to your liking and you don't mind compromising on response time, the Samsung is a great alternative.

If you find the Hisense H9F is still expensive and you want to save some more money and still get a great overall TV, then get the Hisense H8F. It's a very good entry-level 4k TV with impressive picture quality and deep, uniform blacks in a dark room. It has an excellent low input lag and feels very responsive when gaming or used as a PC monitor. It can get very bright and you can easily place it in a bright room. Unfortunately, the response time is just decent, so fast-moving content has a little more blur that might disappoint hardcore sports fans, and the poor viewing angles aren't good for watching the big game with a group of friends. On the upside, this TV uses the same Android TV 8.0 smart interface as the other Hisense.

Overall, if you want the best budget TV, the Hisense H9F is the way to go; otherwise, for those who want to save more money with a few compromises in quality, the Hisense H8F is a great alternative.
