Best 4K TVs

If you're looking to buy a new TV that will make your 4K movies shine, you'll definitely want to take a look at our favorites. Our tech editors have selected the best 4K TVs for gaming, which will also work great for movie-watching. And since both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have 4K Blu-ray play-back built in, you'll probably be doing plenty of gaming on them as well.

LG C3 OLED Smart Gaming TV

The LG C4 is currently our top pick for a gaming TV, but since they're brand new in 2024, you might want to consider picking up last year's model, the LG C3, which costs significantly less for the same size TV. There aren't any real must-have new features on the C4, so you're not missing much. Get the one that best fits your needs and your budget.
