Best Overall

LG G5 OLED TV

The consensus pick for best picture quality in 2025-2026, winning CNET's Lab Award for Best Color Accuracy. Bright enough for most rooms, with Dolby Vision support that rival Samsung OLEDs lack.

$1,500-$3,500

Pros

Best color accuracy of any TV tested in 2025 — CNET Labs Award winner
Dolby Vision support, which Samsung's rival S90/S95 series lacks
Next-gen OLED brightness meets or beats any TV tested by Wired
Outstanding contrast and near-perfect screen uniformity

Cons

Premium pricing puts it out of reach for budget shoppers
OLED panels can suffer burn-in with static content over time
Larger sizes can be very expensive compared to LCD alternatives

Why we recommend it

If budget isn't the primary concern, the G5 is simply the best TV you can buy right now — real owners on Reddit and lab testers at CNET both agree, which almost never happens.
