The 5 best OLED TVs to buy in 2024

If it’s the ultimate in visual fidelity you seek, nothing beats the contrast level and colour accuracy of an OLED display. The inky blacks of OLED tech (Organic Light Emitting Diode) lend a sense of depth and immersion to visuals that few display technologies can match, but this tech also doesn’t come cheap.

Since you are going to be investing a lot of money into an OLED TV, you’ll want the very best that money can buy, and if that’s the goal, here are the best options!

Best 5 OLED Tvs

Here’s a list of the five best OLED TVs you caqn consider bringing home this year.

1. LG Evo C3 (42”)

2. Samsung 9 Series OLED (55”)

3. Sony Bravia OLED (65”)

4. LG Signature OLED R (65”)

5. Sony Bravia XR-83A80L (83”)

1. LG Evo C3 (42”)

It’s safe to say that LG’s C3 OLED TVs are so good that they’re the baseline against which all other OLEDs are compared. The LG Evo C3 we’ve shortlisted here offers 4K resolution video at 120Hz – meaning it’s suitable for gaming – Dolby Vision for the ultimate in visual fidelity, wide gamut colour support, dynamic tone mapping, pixel dimming, and myriad other tech.

While the 42-inch variant of the C3 is great for smaller rooms and home theatres, we’re primarily recommending the C3 for its alternative use-case as a stunning PC/Mac monitor for work and play. At 42 inches, it’s certainly a bit unwieldy on a small desk, but on a large enough work surface, this TV is perfect.

2. Samsung 9 Series OLED (55”)

Available at just under Rs 1.5 lakh, the Samsung 9 series OLED is one of the best smart TVs you can get in its class. Its standout feature is support for Tizen OS – a bespoke smart TV OS designed by Samsung. Unlike many other built-in OS platforms, Tizen tends to be smoother and more user-friendly. 

On the fidelity front, this TV supports Quantum HDR OLED tech for more immersive lighting and shadows and has a 6ms pixel response time that helps smooth out judder in both movies and games.

3. Sony Bravia OLED (65”)

If you’re looking for something larger, we’ll recommend Sony’s 65-inch Bravia OLED TV. It’s an expensive TV, but offers a lot for that price. As expected from a Bravia-branded TV, visual fidelity is superb. The TV also supports HDR10 and HLG tech, which helps deliver a stunning HDR presentation both when streaming and when viewing footage recorded via a Sony mirrorless camera or smartphone. 

Interestingly, the TV is also equipped with a 50W acoustic surface audio system that uses the display as a massive speaker to reposition the audio and enhance the audio experience further.

4. LG Signature OLED R (65”)

When money is no object, there’s only one TV you should get, and that’s the LG Signature OLED R 65. This monstrously expensive TV costs as much as a small house but offers something that few TVs do: it rolls up when not in use. Yes, the price is ridiculous, but again, for someone who doesn’t care about price tags, this rollable TV is the centre-piece your room has always needed. 

This is a rollable UHD panel that supports the very best tech that LG currently offers. This includes the Alpha 9 Gen4 AI image processor, Cinema HDR and HLG support, AI powered tone mapping and upscaling, a 4K 120 gaming mode with ALLM support, and even a 100W 4.2-channel audio system built in. This is a seriously impressive piece of tech that’s most certainly not for the faint of heart.

5. Sony Bravia XR-83A80L (83”)

Size is everything for a true home theatre experience, and the TV that fits that bill perfectly is this 83” Sony Bravia XR OLED TV. Its massive, 83” inch screen will take over an entire wall, and its incredibly stunning picture quality will have your jaw on the floor.

Thanks to Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR, the A80L also manages to render true-to-life images and a bright, immersive video. It’s a great choice for those with deep pockets, and one we’d highly recommend for the ultimate home theatre experience.

OLED tech has certain drawbacks, chief among them being the risk of burn-in when the TV is used for a long time. However, the incredible contrast and image quality that OLEDs are capable of cannot be easily matched by anything that’s currently available in the market. If you’re building the ultimate home theatre, or are looking for the best visual fidelity, OLED is the way to go.
