These are the 5 best TVs I tested in 2025, from flagship OLEDs to affordable mini-LEDs

TVs had an excellent year in 2025, and I’ve been lucky enough to test the best TVs from the biggest brands. While every TV I’ve tested this year has its own strengths and weaknesses, this year’s crop overall is among the best I’ve ever tested.

OLED has been particularly competitive in 2025, with flagship models from LG, Samsung, Panasonic and Sony all vying for the title of the best OLED TV. The mini-LED TV category has also become more competitive than ever, with high-value TCL and Hisense models starting to creep past Samsung as a go-to choice.

I’ve looked back on all the TVs I’ve tested this year and picked my favorite five models. These TVs cover a range of budgets and use different display tech, which just goes to show how diverse 2025 has been.
