Top 5 Best Smart TVs 2021

 For years, 1080p was the standard, but this is changing rapidly. Instead, you're more likely to come across high-resolution OLED and UHD displays, making the selection more complicated.

To help you make your choice, here are the best Smart TVs available today.

1. LG Signature OLED88Z9PUA

Top 5 Best Smart TVs 2021 Picture 1

The LG Signature OLED88Z9PUA is a monster in the world of smart TVs, boasting 8K technology and the amazing picture quality you'd expect from a nearly $ 30,000 TV.

Nearly perfect color accuracy. An 8K transition means your 1080p and 4K content will look more impressive until the 8K content is released.

However, unless you can afford to pay a hefty sum for this TV, you should wait until 8K video is widely available. You won't be able to use the full potential of the LG Signature OLED88Z9PUA until then.

The Hisense 55H9G is an excellent and affordable Smart TV. Colors are great and deliver sharp 4K video, along with perfect contrast levels.

The remote is the only real downside to this TV. It has too many buttons, so it might be difficult to find what you're looking for. At this price, the TV doesn't have any backlighting, so it can be hard to tell if you're watching a movie in the dark.

Top 5 Best Smart TVs 2021 Picture 5

TCL 55R635 is a great smart TV that exhibits great picture quality, color and contrast, for a very reasonable price. This 4K TV supports HDR content in HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision.

Accessing your smart platform is easy, with the Roku TV software. However, the device lacks the seamless user experience that Amazon Fire TV and Google Android TV are proud to own.

The remote was not as expected, but it's pretty straightforward. Game mode reduces input lag very little. However, the option to play a game with this feature disabled will give you over 100ms input lag.
