We've rounded up the best smart TVs available today from the likes of Samsung, Vizio, LG, and Sony, among others, after researching them for 80-plus hours. All you need to do is decide which series will be your next binge. You can feel confident in knowing that our picks offer the best picture and audio quality — and come with all the ports you could possibly need for your video game consoles and home theater system.
Best Overall
This smart TV delivers a phenomenal picture despite its low price. It supports HDR, which produces a bright, lifelike image that's full of color. Best of all, it runs Roku as its platform, which offers an easy-to-use interface and pretty much every streaming app you could ask for. The TCL remote lets you search for shows or movies with your voice, and it has hot keys for all your favorite streaming apps like Hulu and Netflix. We think that this TV from TCL is an excellent value considering its superb picture, slew of smart features, numerous ports, and ease of use. If you're looking to stretch your dollar further, we also recommend TCL's more budget friendly 5-Series model as well!
Best Alexa Compatibility
This Sony TV brings you the best of streaming with brilliant picture. Combining live TV with streaming services such as Disney+, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO and more, this all-inclusive pick is a perfect, size conscious pick. Coming in at 43-inches with a 1080p Full HD display, this TV is powered by a-quad-core CPU/Multi-core GPU for instant search results and fast, fluid responsiveness. Best of all, thanks to Alexa integration, this TV can serve as a smart home base by letting you control multiple devices from one convenient source.
Best for Streaming
You can cast content to this smart TV from your favorite streaming apps and services via your mobile device. Key features of this 4K Ultra-HD TV include a speedy 120 Hz refresh rate, three HDMI ports, and the ability to use your smartphone or tablet as a touch-screen remote. This TV delivers outstanding image quality, an easy setup, and an affordable price. It also works with your Google Home. You're able to fire up Netflix, control playback, and change the volume, all with your voice. Fortunately, if you don't want to cast apps from your phone, the TV also has built-in apps for Hulu, Showtime, HBO Go, Google Play Music, Netflix, and Spotify, among others.
Most Elegant-Looking
If you're looking for a best-in-class, HDR-compatible smart TV that offers a truly incredible, lifelike picture and stellar audio, look no further than this one from Sony. It uses Android TV as its platform, which packs all your favorite streaming apps and then some. Because the TV has the Google Play Store, you can pick from thousands of apps to download to extend the TV's functionality. The TV also has Chromecast and AirPlay 2, so content can be casted from your smartphone or tablet directly to the TV. The included remote has a button that lets you easily access Netflix, and a microphone for voice search. You can also ask the TV questions or use it to control your smart devices, thanks to its Google Assistant support. This option is an extremely sharp-looking and feature-filled model with excellent picture quality, but it's pricier than most other TVs.
A Top-Performing 4K TV With AirPlay
This gorgeous 4K LED TV from LG runs the tech giant's latest webOS 3.5 platform, which streams video from all major services, including YouTube. LG's Channel Plus app grants access to more than 70 free premium internet channels, too. The TV uses a "Magic Remote" that when pointed at your screen, tracks your arm movements, so you can quickly and easily make your selections. It also works in tandem with your Amazon Echo smart speaker, so you can use voice commands to change channels, pause, and search for content. It's an awesome HDR-compatible TV that packs plenty of ports, including four HDMI and two USB ports, and an Ethernet jack. It has Apple's AirPlay 2 tech onboard.
Best for Gamers
This 8K Samsung TV has stunning picture quality, HDR support, and four HDMI ports. Plus, it has voice control through Samsung's Bixby assistant. Its interface features apps from Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, HBO Go, YouTube, Spotify, and Vudu, among others. It's a great TV for gamers because of its superb motion handling. We think that it's one of the nicest-looking TVs you can buy. It has an extremely thin profile with narrow bezels, plus a sharp stand that'll complement any room in your home.
Best Picture Quality
If you have deep pockets and image quality is the most important characteristic when shopping for a smart TV, you can't go wrong with the LG CX. It offers much deeper black shades and truer colors than its LCD and LED counterparts. As you'd expect, this gorgeous 4K Ultra HD TV supports HDR content, and it's equipped with all the latest smart features and plenty of ports (you get four HDMI and three USB). It runs LG's webOS platform, has Alexa support for triggering smart devices or getting information, includes a nifty remote, and it supports voice controls. It's also one of the few TVs that's equipped with Dolby Atmos speakers.
