Best LG TVs - sets for the full home cinema experience
Looking for the best LG TV but don't know where to start? Here's our rundown of the best across major categories
LG is one of the biggest TV companies in the world, and most of us know that buying a set from them will lead to many nights enjoying films, our favorite shows, or even a weekend gaming session in style. However, as with other brands, not all LG TVs are great for everyone, and choosing the right model is essential.
We ranked LG highly in several categories in our guide to the best TV brands, from mid-range and budget offerings to 8K and large TVs. It came out top for OLED, and you will find more than one TV with the popular screen technology below. Head to the guide itself for more of our conclusions.
In this article, we have identified the best LG TVs in several areas, including 8K, OLED, Mini LED, and aesthetics. Read on to see what we think.
The best LG TVs we recommend in 2024
Livingetc knows design.
Best LG OLED TV
1. LG C3 4K OLED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
The eagerly awaited LG C3 4K OLED TV builds on the success of its predecessor, the C2, as a cutting-edge TV boasting an impressive edge-to-edge display thanks to its ultra-thin bezels. With a slim 1.8" panel, it's perfect for wall mounting and comes in a variety of sizes to suit your preferences. The 4K OLED screen promises incredible contrast, deep blacks, and enhanced brightness.
LG has fine-tuned its C-range models over the years, and the C3 is a testament to this dedication. Furthermore, the TV comes with features such as Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, ensuring optimal picture quality, as well as Dolby Vision and Atmos for an immersive cinematic experience. The LG C3 4K OLED TV promises to be a game-changer, offering unparalleled performance and stunning visuals.
Best budget LG TV
2. LG B3 4K OLED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
The LG B3 4K OLED TV is a fantastic option for those looking to experience OLED technology without breaking the bank. While not classified as 'affordable,' this entry-level OLED TV from LG offers the superb picture quality and deep blacks that OLED is known for, at a more accessible price point. For the price, it's a solid choice.
Like all other LG TVs on this list, the B3 has built-in Alexa support, making it convenient for smart home integration. With a smaller number of size options available, including a 77" model for a reasonable $1,199, the LG B3 4K OLED TV is definitely worth considering for those seeking an affordable entry into the world of OLED televisions.
Best LG QNED TV
3. LG QNED80 4K QNED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Mini LED is the next big thing in the TV world, and LG has gotten involved with its range of QNED sets. The LG 80 4K TV gets our vote for the top QNED screen, with size options up to 86", a high refresh rate, and dynamic tone mapping technology. The TV lacks support for Dolby Atmos, offering its own virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound instead.
The TV's Quantum Dot NanoCell Color tech and local dimming are designed to make the image richer, more colorful, and clearer without needing an OLED screen. The panel is extremely thin, so it is perfect for mounting to the wall, and pricing is also extremely reasonable considering the technology inside.
Best 8K LG TV
4. LG QNED99 8K QNED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The only 2021 LG model to remain on our list, the LG 99 QNED Mini-LED TV is still our pick for the best 8K TV from the brand. Adding next-gen resolution to Mini LED tech is a recipe for stunning visuals, using smaller LEDs for a brighter and more precise image than standard LED TVs.
All 8K TVs suffer from a lack of widely available content. However, the QNED99 uses AI to upscale everything to as close to 8K, meaning you still get the benefit as you wait for the resolution to become more mainstream. The TV is designed for big-scale movie watching, with Dolby Atmos and virtual 5.1-channel surround sound, along with Cinema HDR and a dedicated Filmmaker mode.
Best designed LG TV
5. LG Posé 4K OLED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Newly available in more territories, the LG Posé 4K OLED TV is the brand's big play in the design-led tech market, joining the likes of Samsung's The Serif. And we must say that it's truly stunning. With an easel-style stand, a fabric frame that wraps around the front of the TV, and even some handy storage in the back, it's a bold and minimalist statement TV.
It's also great on the inside, with an OLED screen, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and support for all the major smart home assistants. The TV can be mounted, but it's designed to be viewed from all angles, so placing it in the center rather than against a wall would be optimal.
