Best 4K TVs
Whether they are referred to as 4K TVs, UHD TVs, Ultra High Definition TVs, or Ultra HD TVs they all mean the same thing – that the resolution of the display is 4x that of HD resolution or 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Virtually all TVs made today are 4K TVs, with just a handful of 1080p or 720p HDTVs still being produced. While there is only a little content available in 4K, these displays will also upscale standard HD content to 4K. That means you can watch anything with the confidence that it will look good, although some models do this better than others.
Prices range from about $300 up to $4000 depending on size, picture quality, and features. However, there are many models that provide a good value by fitting into that sweet spot between price and performance.
We graded dozens of 4K TVs on picture quality, 4K performance (including upscaling), viewing angle, features, and more plus factored in other user reviews and price to come up with our final ratings for Ultra HD TVs.
Below you will find our list of the top 10 best 4K TVs. Below those 4K TV reviews you will also find a comparison chart so you can easily compare one 4K TV versus another.
9.3
LG C9 OLED
65 Inch Price: $2496.99
55 Inch Price: $1596.66
Display Type: OLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
We chose the LG C9 Series as the best OLED TV and the best 4K TV. The picture is simply the best you can get with very deep blacks. The LG C9 is also great for gamers with a low motion blur and low input lag. The sound quality is decent, but not great.
Buyers should be aware that LG also makes the E9 Series which is much more expensive than the E9 Series, but the only real difference is in the sound quality and design. So the C9 gives you a much better value, especially if you are using a sound system.

65 Inch Price: $3798
55 Inch Price: $2798
Display Type: OLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
The Sony A9G Series produces an excellent image, as good as the LG C9, although there is a slight motion blur and it is the most expensive 4K TV on our list. The sound quality is very good for built-in speakers.

Samsung Q90 / Q90R QLED
65 Inch Price: $2797.99
55 Inch Price: $NA
Display Type: QLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
We think the Samsung Q90 is the best LED TV available. Using the QLED technology (LED with Quantum Dot) this 4K TV produces a picture nearly as good as OLED TVs, unfortunately it is priced as expensive as one. The Q90 also has excellent motion blur.

Samsung Q80 / Q80R QLED
65 Inch Price: $1997.99
55 Inch Price: $1697.99
Display Type: QLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
The Samsung Q80 Series uses a QLED display to produce an image just about as good as the Q90, all while saving you hundreds of dollars. If you want the best 65-inch LED TV under $2000 then you should buy the Samsung Q80

Vizio P Series Quantum X (2019)
65 Inch Price: $1399.99
55 Inch Price: NA
Display Type: QLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
The award for best 65-inch LED TV under $1500 goes to the Vizio P Series Quantum X Series. This model uses QLED technology to produce an excellent picture with outstanding brightness and great motion handling. The main downsides are poor sound and the image quality diminishes at a wide angle.
8.7
Samsung Q70 / Q70R QLED
65 Inch Price: $1397.99
55 Inch Price: $1097.99
Display Type: QLED
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
The Samsung Q70 Series provides one of the best values for a premium 4K TV. It can produce deep blacks and a solid picture quality, although the HDR performance is just a tad less than the higher rated QLED TVs from Samsung or the Vizio P Series. This thing is a great choice for gamers thanks to low input lag and excellent motion handling. The Q70 is also one of the few options if you want a 49-inch QLED TV.

8.7
Sony X950G
65 Inch Price: $1598
55 Inch Price: $1198
Display Type: LED (LCD)
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
Sony’s best LED TV and the 4K TV with the best color accuracy is the Sony X950G Series. It provides an excellent image quality and excels at upgrading HD content to 4K. However, its HDR performance is only good, but not great and the viewing angle is somewhat poor. The sound quality of the X950G is also quite poor, so we recommend a separate sound system should you buy this UHD TV.

8.6
Hisense H9F
65 Inch Price: $899.99
55 Inch Price: $599.99
Display Type: LED (LCD)
Resolution: 4K Ultra HD
The Hisense H9F Series is probably the best budget 4K LED TV you can buy. We think the 65-inch version is the best 65-inch 4K TV under $1000. The picture quality is really good thanks to deep blacks and excellent peak brightness. Low input lag and great response time make the H9F a good choice for gamers.
On the downside it can have some uniformity issues and the image degrades somewhat at an angle. The sound quality is also just plain bad.
