6 best OLED TVs

A few years ago, OLED TVs were terribly expensive. For a model with a decent diagonal could easily ask for more than half a million rubles! Now the situation has changed. The technology of manufacturing such TVs is becoming cheaper, and therefore the price tag of the devices themselves is also being lowered. However, because of this, models began to appear that make you regret the money spent. In order not to get into prosak, check out our selection of only the best OLED TVs. We will talk about both models with a relatively small screen and real monsters with at least a 65-inch OLED panel.

Best OLED TVs with a screen diagonal of 50-55 inches

LG OLED55B8

Rating: 4.9

Our selection begins with devices for which there is a place even in a relatively small room. As you know, OLED TVs are not small. While manufacturers are not going to produce models for the kitchen or children's room. The smallest OLED TV among those sold right now has a 55-inch display. LG OLED55B8 has such a screen. This means that for its comfortable viewing you need to be two meters from the screen. So, the purchase will look perfect in the bedroom, but in the living room the TV may seem too small.

The device looks very nice. He absolutely does not want to hang on the wall, as the TV has a very nice stand. As for the frame, it turned out to be extremely narrow - you absolutely do not pay attention to it when watching a movie. Well, on the back of the device there are all the necessary connectors: a trio of USB ports, a quadruple HDMI and one Ethernet jack for those who have not yet acquired a Wi-Fi 802.11ac-compatible router.

As you know, now there is no OLED-TVs, the screen which would have a low resolution. So here the buyer is waiting for 4K-picture. The color rendition is perfect, the black colors are as deep as possible. Aspect ratio is standard, so videos on YouTube do not have black bars. And still HDR support should please - if the video has an extended color range, then you will get the most realistic image.

Finishing the conversation about the display, it is impossible not to mention that its refresh rate has been brought to 100 Hz. The program method can make the picture even smoother. In short, this is very good for, one might say, a budget OLED TV, which can be bought for only 100 thousand rubles.

The operating system used here is webOS. Like many LG TVs, this model works without any slowdowns. She is also able to boast a chic sound. The manufacturer has introduced here as many as four speakers with a capacity of 10 watts each.The low frequencies are well felt, and therefore many buyers do not even think about connecting a home theater with a separate subwoofer.

As befits a modern TV, LG OLED55B8 supports all standards of digital TV. You can simultaneously connect both the aerial antenna and the satellite dish. Well, external drives are connected to the USB ports - flash drives and hard drives. Absolutely all media files are recognized - even folders with Blu-ray disc contents can be launched. The only limitation is the number of audio tracks. If there are more than ten, and Russian is only eleventh or even later in a row, then you cannot choose it. This is a webOS bug that cannot be fixed.

The set comes with a TV set MagicRemote, powered by two finger batteries. It can be used in the manner of a pointer, although it is often much easier to select any element of the interface with the usual keystrokes. Another microphone has a built-in microphone that recognizes voice commands. It's easier to search in YouTube with your voice, rather than choosing letter by letter.

Got an OLED TV and Bluetooth module. This means that you can output sound to a wireless headset without any problems. By the way, wired headphones can not be used - there is no corresponding connector. But we will not even put this fact in the list of shortcomings, since it is nonsense to connect wired headphones to such a huge TV.

As mentioned above, the product has a beautiful stand. However, if you still want to hang it on the wall, then no one will forbid you to do it - you only need a VESA mount that meets the standard 300x200 mm. You can cope with the task even to one, since the weight of the TV without a stand does not exceed 16.3 kg.

Sony KD-55AF8

Rating: 4.8

A small OLED-TV is in the range of the Japanese company Sony. This model has an extremely narrow frame. The stand is also very interesting, as if it finishes with itself an OLED panel, almost without increasing the height of the TV. Of course, the device can also be hung on the wall - for this you will need a VESA mount measuring 300x200 mm. Without a stand, the TV weighs only 18.7 kg, so you can fix it on the wall without the help of a second person.

This model operates with a powerful processor X1 Extreme. It is not difficult for him to "finish" the missing frames, making the picture smoother. But this is not the main "trick" of the TV. The Japanese have implemented Acoustic Surface technology support. In total, the sound is output from the five speakers. There is even a full subwoofer! At some point it seems that the sound seems to envelop you. If you place the TV in the right place, then an additional speaker system is not needed. Confuse someone can only the total power of the speakers, not exceeding 50 watts. However, this is more than enough for a bedroom and a relatively small living room. And in larger premises, there is no point in placing an OLED TV with a 55-inch screen - it is better to purchase a model with a display for a good ten inches more.

As expected, the TV shows the image in 4K-resolution. Of course, there is support for HDR. OLED-matrix displays a huge number of colors - in HDR mode, you will see exactly what the film director or studio-creator of the game intended. The display refresh rate increased to 100 Hz contributes to a realistic display.The aforementioned processor can make the picture even smoother, but it is better to refuse to activate this function, otherwise from time to time you will notice artifacts in the frame.

Of course, the TV has the function of Smart TV, like the rest of the rating. Unfortunately, Sony does not have its own operating system. But Android 8.0 feels great here - used components provide excellent speed. And it would be strange if the TV for 200 thousand rubles regularly slowed down! As you know, Android has developed a huge number of applications. Even if we consider only those that are adapted for installation on televisions, then the choice will strike the imagination.

This model supports all standards of digital TV. This means that through this TV you can watch DVB-T2, “cable” and “satellite”. No digital set-top boxes or receivers will be required. Connect to Sony KD-55AF8 recommended other devices - for example, an action camera or game console. At the same time you can connect a very large number of devices. There are only four HDMI jacks here! Well, the three USB ports allow you to power some separate gadgets and get acquainted with the media on an external drive. Of course, the TV supports not only flash drives, but also external hard drives, no matter how large they are.

Of course, you can use not only a wired connection. For example, if you have a good router, this model allows you to go online at a very high speed. Also, the manufacturer has not forgotten about the Bluetooth module, primarily necessary for transmitting sound to the headphones. Well, support for Miracast can turn the TV into a monitor that works in the same wireless mode.

Inside this device are hidden 16 GB of permanent memory. This volume is spent exclusively on the installation of third-party applications. Well, in general, this model leaves only positive impressions. Although you can still make a complaint. Firstly, not all the programs that are available on Google Play are installed on the TV - this is due to the fact that Sony is actively fighting pirated content. Secondly, the voice control works very poorly here - it is felt that the Japanese almost did not work in this direction. Thirdly, channel switching here is somewhat slow - at some points it infuriates. Fourth, a sufficiently large number of defective copies were released, on the screen of which, after several months of use, a bright irritating band suddenly appears.

Best OLED TVs with a screen size of 58-65 inches

Sony KD-65AF9

Rating: 4.9

Another TV from Sony in our rating. This model is the freshest - it appeared in stores only recently. It uses an even more minimalist stand. When the TV is on the pedestal, then this stand is not at all visible - all of it is hidden behind the device! Of course, you can get rid of the stand by hanging the TV on the wall. In this case, the buyer will need to mount VESA size 400x200 mm. The device turned out rather big, so it is better to use the help of a second person - the weight of this model reaches 27.5 kg.

Like 99% of other existing OLED TVs, the Sony KD-65AF9 has 4K resolution. Despite the high cost, the screen of this device has a standard refresh rate. This is due to the large size - to achieve 100 Hz or more parameter from such a matrix is ​​almost impossible.However, many filmmakers recommend watching their creations with a standard frame rate, and this TV will be primarily used to solve this problem. However, it must be admitted that the device shows itself perfectly in conjunction with other devices - for example, with the PlayStation 4 Pro game console from the same Sony. For the wired connection, four HDMI jacks, three USB ports and the outdated “tulips” are used.

Connect the TV to the router through the RJ-45 port. But if your router supports the standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac, it is better to use a wireless connection. And somewhere in the depths of the TV is a Bluetooth module. It is needed to output sound to the corresponding headphones.

Well, how does this model sound? Do I need to buy a home theater? Perhaps it is absolutely not necessary to do this. The composition of the TV includes six speakers of 13 watts and two more on 10 watts. Such a speaker system perfectly emits both high and medium, and, most importantly, low frequencies. Acoustic Surface Audio + technology helps achieve surround sound. But if your sofa will be far enough away from the TV, then full acoustics 5.1 or 7.1 still does not hurt. But the soundbar will definitely be superfluous - you will not feel much improvement in the sound quality, but you will spend a lot of money. Although nothing compares with the amount that is asked for the TV itself - it is 400 thousand rubles.

It remains to add that this model without any problems defines any standards for digital TV. This means that the user definitely does not need a set-top box or receiver to watch television. Well, if we talk about the shortcomings, they are practically absent. Not everyone will like Android, which is used here as an operating system. But this is the only trouble Sony, which at one time could not buy or develop any OS that could be optimized for use on the TV. But Sony engineers manage to achieve the best picture quality and attractive design.

LG OLED65B8

Rating: 4.8

It must be admitted that it is LG Display that produces the largest number of full-size OLED panels. Therefore, it is not surprising that LG OLED TVs are gradually becoming more affordable. For example, for LG OLED65B8 they are asking 170-207 thousand rubles, depending on whether there is a sale in the selected store. A good price tag for a device that has a 64.5 inch (164 cm) OLED screen.

Following the current trends, the TV received an extremely thin frame. Despite its large size and heavy weight, the device can still stand on a pedestal - an elegant D-shaped stand is used for this. Also, the product can boast the operating system WebOS, with which implemented a smart functionality. This firmware is known for its easy development. Unfortunately, her main problem remained - in the corresponding online store you will find no more than a hundred applications, of which only two or three are really useful. But the operating system works without any brakes.

The OLED screen of this TV produces an excellent 4K picture. Enhanced color gamut allows you to fully enjoy the HDR effect. It should be noted that the South Koreans managed to increase the refresh rate of the screen to 100 Hz. This is most strongly felt in films filled with action or sharp camera turns.Also, such a TV will definitely appreciate the owners of modern gaming consoles.

If we are talking about external sources of the image, then to connect them are four HDMI-connectors and three USB-ports. You can also use Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Miracast technology, thus displaying a picture from a laptop or even a desktop computer. And there is also Bluetooth. Usually they connect wireless headphones with it. Also, it is with this technology that the sound is output to external acoustics that support this method of receiving a signal.

Do I need to buy a soundbar or home theater? Each owner of the TV should answer this question independently. The fact is that it uses a system of four speakers with a capacity of 10 watts each. It seems that most of the premises is enough. But if the TV is installed in the restaurant or other similar room, then such acoustics may not be enough.

Included with this model comes a great remote, which includes a gyroscope and microphone. Voice control works without any problems - so you can search for content and weather forecast.

Best OLED TVs with a diagonal of more than 65 inches

Sony KD-77A1

Rating: 4.9

This representative of our rating is not the best way to feel on the thumb. The fact is that there is a specific stand applied. She is completely hidden behind the TV. But because of its design, the device will be constantly tilted. If you think about it, then it is not bad if the dresser is very low. But if you sit far enough away from the TV, then even this option will not suit you. Do not put the TV on the floor because of this? Why not? In some cases, the device with a 76.7-inch screen (and this, for a moment, 195 cm) on the floor is the place. However, most often this model is hung on the wall. To do this, use the VESA mount size 400x300 mm, which, of course, must be purchased separately. By the way, the TV weighs 37.8 kg - you need to hang it together.

This model has a very high power consumption, reaching 765 watts. This is not an iron, but more than the average computer. However, if most of the time you have no one at home, it is unlikely that electricity bills will grow too much. As for the OLED-display, it can boast an incredibly deep black color. It gives a huge number of colors, which is especially felt when viewing high-quality HDR content. The image is displayed in 4K resolution. Importantly, the Japanese managed to increase the refresh rate to 120 Hz, so that any videos look great here. Smooth picture is provided in games. Such a high parameter has only one minus. It is in the astronomical price tag. Even if the OLED panel used here was 50 hertz, then because of such huge dimensions it would in any case lead to a great cost. Well, Sony KD-77A1 is exactly 1 million rubles, and somewhere even more expensive!

Of course, such a device without any problems recognizes all types of digital TV - from on-air to satellite. But more often this TV will be used to view content from external sources. To connect them here are four HDMI jacks and three USB ports. The Android operating system understands flash drives and external hard drives without any problems. It also allows you to watch content over the Internet. Connection to the router is carried out using a wire or standard 802.11ac. And also the TV-module includes a Bluetooth-module, which is necessary for transmitting sound to headphones or other wireless audio equipment.

Speaking of acoustics, Sony was hardly working on it, although it seemed to be her hobby. Four ordinary 10 W speakers and a subwoofer of similar power are built-in here. The Japanese understood that almost all buyers would acquire additional acoustics of 5.1 or even 7.1. Its value against the background of such a TV will seem like a penny.

LG OLED77G7V

Rating: 4.8

Another huge OLED TV in our ranking. It has a 77-inch (196-centimeter) display. Again, the mass helped LG Electronics reduce the price tag. You will not be asked for a million. You can buy this model “just” for 800 thousand rubles. In fact, this is probably a tolerable amount for some successful restaurant or other similar institution.

TV displays a picture in 4K-resolution. Beauty turns out to be indescribable, especially when viewing HDR content. But the billion colors shown are not the only advantage of the OLED panel used here. South Koreans brought the screen refresh rate to 120 Hz, and this is also well felt. In short, movies with action scenes will appeal to someone here more than when watching them in a real cinema! Also, it should be noted that this TV belongs to the family of "Image-on-Glass". This means that the picture seems to be out of the frame - this is how the effect is created here. And it also speaks about the minimum thickness of the device - the TV is really not thicker than ordinary glass. The exception is its lower part, which is attached to the stand. Without this part, the TV simply could not be hung on the wall. Do not use the same for this glue?

The operation of this device provides webOS. Yes, this operating system can not boast a huge number of applications. But on the other hand, it does not slow down at all, but the buyer of such a monster needs precisely high speed. To control, the already familiar Magic Remote is used, which includes not only a gyroscope, but also a microphone. South Koreans endowed the accessory with a more stylish design especially for TV sets in this series - down with the annoying black plastic!

In the TV stand is a full soundbar. It is wireless, so mounting the device on the wall does not interfere - the sound panel can be placed somewhere below. Support for Dolby Atmos technology indicates that the buyer is waiting for surround and very loud sound. Like it or not, but many owners of this TV are unlikely to be interested in buying an additional speaker system.

Perhaps there is no point in writing in detail about the possibility of connecting external devices. To do this, a standard set at this cost is used, consisting of three USB ports and four HDMI sockets. For Internet access, the standard is Wi-Fi 802.11ac, which is distinguished by high speed. There is also Bluetooth.

Perhaps this is a great TV that will suit any buyer. It ends our rating only because of its large size - as you can see, we went from compact to much larger OLED TVs.

Conclusion

As you can see, only products from Sony and LG companies got into our rating.This is because only these manufacturers have access to large-sized OLED screens. No, sometimes less successful companies produce something, but usually their TV sets quickly disappear from the store shelves, and it’s impossible to call them worthy to buy.
