The Best Smart TVs for 2021
Although every Smart TV somewhat has the same features, graphics, and resolution, still each one of them brings something different to the table due to the wide range of specifications available in the market. For example, some of them have better contrast and color display, whereas the others have a powerful light control and enhanced saturation or vibrancy, etc.
The best change that we have had over the years in the TV tech industry is of the ‘prices’. Thankfully, Smart televisions are easily affordable for the majority of people living in the United States today. For example, you can find tons of fancy Smart TVs at literally half the price than before.
Because Smart TV provides you with numerous entertainment options, you need to have extremely high-coverage cable services like Spectrum Select TV which offers more than 125 TV channels with free HD, and that too without any hidden charges. The best part is that Spectrum provides extremely affordable TV packages to all its users, starting from $44.99 per month only. How cool is that? For more details, you can call Spectrum phone number. Their customer services agent will make sure to provide you with a prompt response to your query.
Below are our top Smart TV picks that portray the ultimate pinnacle of all features collectively, ranging from robust 4K resolution to vibrant HDR and high-resolution graphics. Let’s take a look!
Your Best Bet for Streaming: LG C1 OLED
TV Type: OLED
Sub-Type: WRGB
Resolution 4k
Sizes Available: 48″ 55″ 65″ 77″ 83″
LG C1 OLED is your best bet for streaming due to its incredible OLED panel and exceptionally incredible picture quality and high-resolution graphics. It comes with LG’s webOS built-in end model. Its interface seems pretty easy to adapt, and the app store is full of amazing entertainment sources that you can download on your smart TV.
The most interesting feature is that the Smart TV comes with a magical remote that serves as a ‘point-and-press’ remote, which is quite similar to a Wii remote. It promotes much smoother and convenient navigation through the menu.
Besides this, OLEDs can also switch off to each pixel, which results in producing perfect black levels without any blooming around bright/vibrant objects. This high-end feature makes it the best choice for streaming movies in a dark room. Also, it has a fantastic reflection and bright light handling capability, so you might be comfortable in using this particular version in bright rooms as well. However, we do not recommend placing it near your bedroom or living room window, as this television has broader viewing angles so the picture appears clearer on the sides.
Heaven for Movie Lovers: SONY A90J OLED
Type OLED
Sub-Type: WRGB
Resolution 4k
Available Sizes: 55″ 65″ 83″
Movie lovers surely want high-end features to enjoy better HDR performance on television. If you are also one of them, then Sony A90J is your best bet, as it delivers a clearer picture quality which takes your movie experience to next level.
Moreover, its gradient handling and broad color gamut make it even more popular among users. It is also considered as one of the brightest and most perfect OLED televisions up till now, that has been tested by expert technicians. Although it might not be as feature-rich as LG televisions, still it is a hit among gamers due to its robust on-screen view and incredibly high-class pixel quality.
Our Top-favorite LED Smart TV: Samsung QN90A QLED
TV Type: LED
Sub-Type: VA
Resolution: 4k
Available sizes: 43″ 50″ 55″ 65″ 75″ 85″
The Samsung QN90A QLED is famous for its extraordinarily high-end Mini LED model with various features that are great for people that like to watch their TV shows and serials in bright environments, wider seating arrangements, or for gaming purposes. Samsung QN90A QLED relies on using Samsung’s Tizen as its main functional system, which has easy-to-use features. The remote also comes with a mic for accessing voice controls and even has a solar panel attached to the back to keep it charged.
It would not be wrong to say that LED TVs have always had an edge over OLEDs due to not having the constant risk of any burn-ins. Therefore, you don’t need to fret about damaging your screen regardless of the type of content you watch all day.
