TVs equipped with an OLED display panel have the best picture quality in the business. The secret behind the wow-inducing viewing experience that they deliver is all in their ability to display black color by literally switching individual pixels off. As a result, OLED panels have more vibrant colors and a much better contrast than conventional LCD displays.

A note on availability: Due to increased demand, some of these products may fluctuate between in and out of stock. We will be frequently checking and refreshing the links to these products as they become available again.

Thanks to their exceptional contrast capabilities, OLED TVs are great for viewing HDR content with more dramatic colors and enhanced visuals. Crucially, these TVs support all major HDR standards: HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG.

Unsurprisingly, all OLED TVs available today have 4K resolution. They may be more expensive than TVs with conventional display panels, but we find the amazing viewing experience that they deliver to be well worth it.

There are three screen sizes to pick from: 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch.

Best Entry-Level OLED TV

Key Specs

Display: 4K Ultra HD OLED display panel in 55- and 65-inch sizes
Gaming: G-SYNC Compatible, FreeSync, VRR, ALLM
Smart features: webOS, AirPlay 2, Alexa built-in, and compatible with Google Assistant
Audio: 2.2 channel speaker system with Dolby Atmos support
Ports: 4 HDMI inputs (1 rear, 3 side), 3 USB ports (2 rear, 1 side), Ethernet, eARC, Digital Audio Output

LG's BX series of 4K OLED TVs are the best entry-level option. Available with 55-inch and 65-inch screen sizes, the BX series has some of the most accessible pricing for a 2020 OLED TV. Like all LG OLED TVs, the BX offerings have beautiful designs with thin bezels, a feature-rich smart platform, and Dolby Atmos sound.

Compared to the LG CX series we already mentioned, the CX has better brightness, handles gradients better, and includes a metal stand (compared to the BX's less sturdy, plastic one). The BX also has a less powerful chip, which means that images and fine details might not be as sharp as the pricier model. That aside, it offers a nearly identical experience to the CX, and most people wouldn't be able to notice the difference unless the two TVs were sitting right next to one another.
