As technology progresses swiftly forward, assessing all of the TV brands seeking your hard-earned money gets increasingly difficult. Outdated metrics like display resolution no longer adequately indicate performance. You must now parse intricate backlight systems, processor capabilities, smart ecosystems and gaming compatibility to determine which television best fits your home and budget.
As an experienced display analyst and self-proclaimed AV nerd, I set out to cut through marketing hype and rank all the major TV brands available in 2023 from the very worst to the elite flagships pushing display innovation envelopes. After extensive hands-on testing and evaluation for picture quality, features, sound and overall value, I present these definitive TV brand rankings for this year.
Overview
Below you‘ll find my complete ranked breakdown of 13 prominent TV brands shoppers can consider this year. I examined numerous critical data points and criteria while evaluating each brand, including:
- Display Technology – Resolution, backlight systems, panel types like OLED, contrast, brightness, viewing angles and more
- Picture Quality – Color accuracy, motion clarity, upscaling capability, HDR format support
