LG is another common brand that can be found in households around the world. While the company has ventured into a myriad of industries, they are most well-known for their electronic products, particularly their TVs.
In recent years, LG has been leading the pack in the premium OLED TV market. Their OLED models were the first to be made widely available. Besides their OLEDs, LG also offers good entry-level TVs, albeit without OLED.

Why This is Our First Pick:
“The LG C1 tops our list and that of many other experts. The C1 is dubbed one of LG's best OLEDs and high-end gaming TVs. Generally, users will love the incredible picture quality, but we think gamers will be the ones making the most out of the gaming feature-packed TV.
Gamer or not, this is a smart TV you wouldn’t want to pass on.”
Features:
The C1 has the latest webOS version plus on-board voice assistants. Additionally, it comes with four HDMI 2.1 ports, enabling 4K gaming at 120Hz with PS5 and Xbox Series X. It even has FreeSync support, variable refresh rate (VRR), and NVIDIA certification.
Performance:
With HDR10 Pro and Dolby Vision IQ, users can expect visuals with a wide colour gamut. There is a near-infinite contrast ratio that can produce inky-black screens. Smears are non-existent thanks to near-instantaneous response time.
At 86”, the UP80 is the second-largest screen size LG has to offer.
Features:
The LED TV incorporates HDR10 Pro and HLG formatting into its picture quality. It is also flanked by Dolby Vision IQ as well as Dolby Atmos. While it does have HDMI 2.1 ports, it does not have VRR support.
Performance:
With its many visual and audio enhancers, users can enjoy a cinema-like sensation from the comfort of their couch. It is also a good choice for gamers, with 4K gaming at 120Hz, not to mention low input lag and good response time.
If 4K is not enough for you, then you'll be mesmerised by LG's NANO95.
Features:
Pure colour reproduction is possible as a result of NanoCell technology. Dolby Vision IQ, HDR 10 Pro, and HLG Pro further bolster the TV's visuals, by providing a more refined viewing experience. As a bonus, it also comes with four HDMI 2.1 ports.
Performance:
Dolby Vision IQ adjusts the 8K TV's picture settings to suit the content genre and its surroundings while Dolby Atmos produces an enveloping sound experience. Besides that, Game Optimiser allows for automatic picture optimisation during gaming.
If you are looking for a large LG TV without a hefty price tag, have a look at the UP81.
Features:
The TV is a good budget gaming TV. It has Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), a feature commonly found in HDMI 2.1 ports despite having only its 2.0 counterparts. Additionally, it has HDR10 Pro and HLG support but lacks Dolby Vision.
Performance:
As it only has HDMI 2.0 ports, the UP81 can only support 4K gaming at 60Hz, but such specifications should suffice for casual gamers. Moreover, its Game Optimiser feature can seamlessly improve graphics and visibility regardless of the type of game.
Another TV from the C-series, the LG CX is as highly acclaimed as our top pick.
Features:
The CX showcases G-SYNC, FreeSync, and VRR support -- a key feature for gaming TVs. With HDMI 2.1 ports at its helm, gamers can plug and play on next-gen consoles, such as PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Performance:
The CX is great for gaming in the dark; as an OLED TV, it has a near-infinite contrast ratio, and thus, the ability to produce deep blacks. The fact that it has an immediate response time as well as low input lag only further cements its reputation in the gaming scene.
The award-winning LG G1 is breathtaking, picture and design-wise.
Features:
The G1 incorporates the state-of-the-art LG OLED evo panel, as well as HDR10 Pro, Dolby Vision IQ, and Dolby Atmos technology.
Performance:
Its next-generation OLED evo panel produces brighter and crisper images compared to regular OLEDs. HDMI 2.1 ports also meant that users will experience their favourite games in 4K at 120Hz with near-instantaneous response time.
Looking for a small LG TV? We recommend the LM550.
Features:
The LM550 comes with Dolby Audio plus sound-enhancing features like Virtual Surround and Clear Voice. In the area of imagery, the LED TV has LG’s Dynamic Color Enhancer and HD resolution to support their various picture modes.
Performance:
The aforementioned picture modes will appeal to hobbyists. For example, Game Mode will serve gamers while sports fans will appreciate the Sports Mode. With theatre-level sound, users can fully enjoy their favourite content in their smaller rooms.
43” is indeed the smallest size in LG’s NANO75 range, but it might just be the right fit for you.
Features:
The NANO75 comes with a 4K NanoCell panel. Despite the lack of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, it has HDR10 Pro and Clear Voice III to back visual and sound quality. Not only that, it has a Smooth Gradation feature for surprisingly excellent gradient handling.
Performance:
It is a decent budget gaming TV; while it has low input lag, its response time is just alright. Fortunately, the NANO75 has wide viewing angles, retaining image quality for all sorts of content.
The LG NANO86 takes it up a notch with more advanced features up its sleeve.
Features:
Similar to the NANO75, it showcases a 4K NanoCell panel. While it also has HDR10 Pro and Clear Voice III, Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos are also in the mix, coupled with HDMI 2.1 ports. Besides, VRR improves gaming performance.
Performance:
Gamers will take a liking to 4K gameplays at 120Hz. And if they prefer dark room gaming, the NANO86 has a Local Dimming feature that encourages a higher contrast ratio for better performance in the dark.
LG’s BX is on the more affordable end of OLEDs, making it a good choice for those trying out such TVs for the first time.
Features:
Like its pricier counterparts, it has Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos as well as HDR10 Pro. While it does have four HDMI ports, only two are reserved for HDMI 2.1; the remaining two serve as HDMI 2.0 ports.
Performance:
The OLED panel grants near-instant response time alongside high contrast ratio for inky blacks, allowing a satisfying game-in-the-dark experience. The 4K TV also does well in fairly lit rooms, a tribute to its great reflection handling.
LG TV vs Samsung TV
Depending on your preference and your needs, either brand could be the one for you. For more clarification, here are some differences between LG and Samsung TVs.
OLED vs QLED
As the only company that manufactures OLEDs, it is no surprise that LG incorporates that technology into their premium TVs. On the other hand, Samsung marched on with QLEDs after taking a tiny dip into the OLED pool.
OLEDs generate deeper blacks while providing quicker response time, lower input lag, and quicker refresh rates than QLEDs. However, the latter is significantly brighter, performing better in well-lit environments. QLEDs tend to be cheaper as well.
webOS vs Tizen
LG TVs come with the webOS, which has a clean and simple UI. Its most recent version, webOS 6.0 is also more intuitive than ever before, providing quick access to often-used apps and recommendations based on watch history. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are present in higher-end models too.
At the helm of Samsung TVs is Tizen, which has a somewhat LG-inspired UI, making it easily navigable too. But unlike their rival, Samsung chooses to include its first-party Bixby voice assistant for mid-range and premium models, with the option to use Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa through third-party devices should users prefer.
Dolby Vision vs HDR10+
LG supports Dolby Vision, while Samsung shies away from it and favours HDR10+, which the company helped develop. Dolby Vision is superior in terms of picture quality and brightness, but it does not come cheap. So if HDR is not your thing, then HDR10+ should do the trick.
Conclusion
It is pertinent to differentiate between your needs and wants when looking for a TV. The "perfect" TV might not be something within your budget. So do ensure that you cut your coat according to your cloth.
