Podcast #896: Best Overall 4K TV

Best Overall 4K TV

We get asked what's the best TV I can buy from time to time and we always reply with, "That depends on what you want to use it for". Few people have a specific purpose. Mainly it's for overall viewing. So when we ran across a page over at CNET that helps you select the best TV we thought it would be great to share it with all of our listeners.

CNET's Best TVs for 2019 allows the reader to filter their reviews based on criteria that is important to the reader. You can look at TVs based on Picture Quality, LED, 4K, or Size. For today we will look at CNET's best overall TVs for 2019. We'll link to the full review for each TV.

Best High End TV for the Money - LG OLEDB8P series 65" $2,500 (Full Review)

OLED TVs are the picture quality kings, and this is the 2018 OLED TV to buy. Its image quality is very close to the C8 and C9 (below) and while it's cheaper than either one, it's still an expensive TV.

Best TV for the Money Period - TCL 6 series (2018 Roku TV) 65" $800 (Full Review)

No TV we've ever tested offers this much picture quality for this little cash, and its Roku TV operating system is our hands-down favorite. The TCL 6 series wins the value race.

A Bit Better OLED Picture, A Bit More Money - LG OLEDC8P 65" $2,800 (Full Review)

A few hundred dollars more than the B8 gets you the C8 and its incrementally better image quality. It's a better value than the C9 below, so it gets a higher spot on this list.

The Picture Quality King by a Nose - LG OLEDC9PUA series 65" $3,500 (Full Review)

If you don't care about cost and just want the best picture, the C9 is the way to go. It barely beat the 2018 C8 and B8, but for now they're superior values -- almost as good and much less expensive.

Best OLED Alternative at 65 inches - Vizio P-Series Quatum 65" $1,250 (Full Review)

Vizio's best TV ever is only available in one size, but if you can't swing the price for an OLED TV and still want an amazing picture, it should be first on your list.
