Honorable Mentions
There are such a lot of good TVs accessible, we won’t add all of them to our prime listing. Listed here are some attractive choices that missed the lower.
Sony Bravia 7: The Bravia 7 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a beautiful show, providing good brightness, naturalistic colours, and suave finesse within the delicate particulars. Its largest knock may be very poor off-axis viewing, which might be powerful to swallow at its excessive listing value. In any other case, it is price contemplating for followers of that Sony glow, particularly since Sony appears to be discounting its greatest QLED TVs far more liberally than its OLED fashions.
TCL QM7K (2025): I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the QM7K. A part of TCL’s new Exact Dimming sequence, its opulent black ranges and distinction attain towards OLED heights, matched by good brightness for some spectacular moments. The issue? My overview mannequin’s colours had been off-kilter, with an odd inexperienced tint in choose black and grayscale content material. Fortunately, I confirmed that TCL’s newest firmware replace fastened the difficulty. The TV’s image processing and colours nonetheless aren’t on par with equally priced OLEDs on sale, and that is the second yr in a row I’ve discovered a troubling efficiency problem with the QM7. You should not purchase it at full value, but when you may get the 65-inch mannequin for $1,000 or much less, it is an attractive selection.
Samsung QN90C: One other potential deal whereas accessible, Samsung’s QN90C (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was lengthy considered one of our favourite bright-room TVs. It is available in a variety of sizes and pairs a brilliant and colourful image with loads of goodies—particularly attractive on a megasale.
TCL QM7: There’s just one factor holding the superbly balanced QM7 (6/10, WIRED Reviewed) off our major listing: a software program glitch. Throughout my overview, I skilled a difficulty the place adjusting SDR backlight ranges affected HDR, which may result in extreme brightness limitations. Whereas TCL fastened the difficulty in a firmware replace for me, I by no means obtained affirmation on a broader OTA repair. Most folk most likely will not have this problem, so the QM7 remains to be price contemplating, however be certain that and examine it earlier than throwing out the field.
