We have analysed various models to get the best of the lot to help you make an informed decision to buy the best TV that suits your budget. So just relax in your couch, have a sip of your delicious coffee and read through this interesting article to buy the best TV in 2019 and other important information you need to know before buying a TV. Previously LCD TVs used CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamps) to backlight the panels, but nowadays, LEDs have largely replaced the CCFL Lamps. Now LED TVs come with either backlit or edge lit models, where LEDs are used in the edges of the panels to light up the screen in edge-lit, and back-lit designs utilize LEDs behind the panel for illumination. When it comes to the latest OLED (organic light-emitting diode) models, the technology is quite different from LED TVs despite the similar acronym. OLED TVs utilizes diode to illuminate the panel and can produce excellent black level even more than LED TVs. For this reason, you’ll find that OLED models are more expensive than LED TVs. So now let’s take a look at some of the best TVs in the market, which our technical team recommends after testing these TVs based on certain parameters: When it comes to QLED series, the Samsung Q9FN definitely sits on top with its impressive color range and contrast levels. The outlook of the Q9FN is incredibly simple as the screen is embodied in a dark metallic bezel that is only an inch wider with a tiny little protrusion on the bottom that flaunts the Samsung logo. The TV comfortably sits on top of a strong and sturdy U-shaped black metal stand. You can easily install it on your wall with the help of a compatible mount. The one-connect box is the brain behind the Q9FN as it provides the power and signals to the TV. Adjacent to the one-connect box, you can see 4 HDMI ports, a single LAN port, a connector to feed your cable signals, along with a power cable connector. We can also see 3 USB ports provided on the right side of the TV. Samsung continues to entertain its users with its impressive Smart TV platform and most of the functions you can find with the Smart TV platform are mostly Samsung-centric. Another notable aspect with the Smart TV feature is it utilizes the age-old bixby voice assistant whereas other manufacturers have moved onto the latest Alexa and Siri. The bixby voice assistant can only control a mere 200 gadgets or so compared to Alexa and Siri which can be used to control thousands of devices. The viewing experience is exceptional with the Q9FN, and you can see the impressive color range by seeing the BBC’s Planet Earth II. The natural colors look extremely vibrant without showing any kind of over-saturation. Even finer and tiny details like bark and leaves look sharp and crisp, providing a lifelike viewing experience. We can see various power modes provided in the Q9FN that help you to save power. In the normal viewing mode without enabling the power mode, the Q9 can consume up to 131 watts whereas it comes down to 96 watts with the Eco mode and 82 watts at Medium mode. The Ambient mode is the best power saving mode as the Q9 only consumes around 77 watts. Overall, the Samsung Q9FN QLED model scores higher than most of the models we tested with its impressive feature list including the HDR10+ and Q HDR Elitemax. Even though it cannot reach the peak contrast levels like the OLEDs, it still gives you a much wider color range and strong contrast that cannot be seen in a LED-backlit LCD model TV. The picture quality is extremely superb and that is the main reason that we have chosen the Q9FN as our editor’s choice.

The all-new C8 is not entirely redesigned or different from its predecessor, but still you can see a host of new feature being introduced with the C8 including the dominating Dolby Atmos Sound and High dynamic range format to name a few. The LG C8 is another great product from the LG design team that spells elegance and simplicity throughout its design. The OLED panel is ultra-thin when compared to its previous models. And the screen almost resembles a size zero screen as you don’t see any kind of bevel on the outer edges. We can notice that the top of the TV is just around a millimeter thick and slowly widens around the bottom where it houses the speakers, connections, and all electronic stuff. The back panel comes with two colors with aluminium color on top and dark grey on the bottom. The overall build quality looks really impressive. The LG C8 OLED TV sits on top of a wide sloped stand that serves a dual purpose as it not only helps to stabilize the TV on top but also helps to redirect the sound towards the viewers. The C8 provides you with 4 HDMI ports, 3 USB ports, a Lan port, a headphone jack, and a CI slot, along with a line out.

The P-Series LED TV comes loaded with some of the latest in TV technology including the Xtreme Black Engine Pro local dimming that combines very well with the HDR10 to give a solid contrast even during bright scenes on your screen. The color is extravagant and looks completely natural due to the introduction of Wide Color Gamut technology. It comes equipped with 4K HDR inputs to allow you to connect your high-end devices and even comes with a TV tuner to enable you to connect your HD antennae if you wish to see local free channels in your TV. The only blemish we can see with the Vizio P-Series TVs is its Smartcast feature. Even though it comes with several streaming applications along with chromecast support, the interface is pretty ordinary. However, if you’re looking for the best picture performance at a modest price, then you can go for the Vizio P-Series LED TV.
