- 4K TVs have gotten significantly cheaper in the past few years, and the LG C8 shows just how much value you can get for your money.
- With its impressive OLED panel and wide range of features, the LG C8 is the best 4K TV you can buy.
Only a few years ago, 4K TVs and content were a luxury. However, with 4K support moving to nearly every streaming platform and computer monitors reaching up to 8K resolutions, the writing is on the walls: 4K TVs will soon become the new norm.
Thankfully, as technology pushes forward, prices push down. 4K TVs are no longer a luxury item, meaning you can enjoy the full fidelity of "Bandersnatch" without going broke.
In case you're wondering what 4K actually means, the Digital Cinema Initiatives defines 4K as a horizontal resolution of at least 4,096 pixels. However, there are many Ultra HD TVs with resolutions of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels that are also widely considered 4K TVs.
We won't split hairs, because to quote CNET, "since the pixel difference is 13% and it's nearly impossible to see even larger differences, we'll file this under "why does anyone care" (but people really care, as I'm sure we'll see in the comments)."
We've found the best 4K TVs on the market through hands-on testing and reading reviews online from experts and actual buyers.
While we tried to avoid choosing into egregiously overpriced TVs, we didn't shy away from high-ticket items. There's a wide range of prices below, so feel free to jump around to particular sections if you're on a budget.
