Samsung S90H OLED 55-inch - Best anti-glare OLED

The Samsung S90H 55-inch (QN55S90HAEXZA) pairs OLED contrast with Samsung's Glare Free screen, which Samsung pitches as pixel-perfect contrast with no distracting reflections. That makes it the OLED to look at first when lamps or windows face the TV.

The NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, which Samsung says uses 128 neural networks, handles 4K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro. Gaming features include Motion Xcelerator 165Hz for PC games that support it, FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible. One UI Tizen runs the smart features with 7 years of automatic OS updates, and Samsung lists OLED HDR+ and Dolby Atmos but not Dolby Vision.

Hisense U7 Mini-LED 55-inch - Best Mini-LED

The Hisense U7 55-inch (55U7SF) is a ULED MiniLED 4K TV with Fire TV built in. Hisense says thousands of Mini-LEDs precisely control light across the screen to deliver brighter highlights and deeper blacks, which is a different approach from the self-lit pixels in the OLED picks.

Hisense designed it for fast-moving movies, live sports and next-gen gaming, and points to ultra-high refresh rate performance. An advanced screen treatment minimizes glare from lamps and windows, and multi-channel speakers tuned by Devialet handle sound. The product page does not publish brightness, refresh rate or port figures, so check the full spec sheet if those numbers matter to you.

It comes with a teak frame, and white or walnut frames are sold separately. Gaming support includes a variable refresh rate of 48Hz to 144Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium, Auto Low Latency Mode and Low Latency MEMC, while 2.0.2 surround sound handles audio.

Roku Select Series 4K QLED 55-inch - Best budget

The Roku Select Series 4K QLED 55-inch (55R5DX) is the budget pick, a Roku-designed TV for households that mainly stream. Roku lists HDR10+ and a voice remote for the Select Series 4K QLED.

Its 60 Hz refresh rate keeps it out of serious gaming, and Roku lists Dolby Atmos only for select models in the series. Roku lists four HDMI inputs with eARC on HDMI 4 for connecting a soundbar. Roku publishes these specs for the Select Series 4K QLED as a group across model years, so some details can vary by model.

• Choose OLED for dark-room movies. The LG C6 and Samsung S90H use OLED panels, and LG describes its pixels as self-lit, which is the main reason OLED suits movie nights with the lights down.
• Plan for glare. If windows or lamps face the screen, look for a stated anti-glare feature such as Samsung's Glare Free, Hisense's Hi-Matte Display on the S7 CanvasTV or the glare-reducing screen treatment on the U7.
• Match refresh rate to your gear. The 165Hz figures from LG and Samsung apply to compatible PCs, the S7 CanvasTV lists 48Hz to 144Hz variable refresh, and the Roku Select Series 4K QLED runs at 60 Hz.
• Check HDR formats. LG lists Dolby Vision, Roku lists HDR10+, and Samsung lists its own OLED HDR+ without Dolby Vision. If your streaming apps lean on one format, pick a TV that supports it.
• Pick a platform you like. These picks run webOS, One UI Tizen, Fire TV, Google TV and Roku, so the interface you already know can narrow the choice.
