Based on my team&#8217;s extensive testing, I&#8217;ve chosen the best smart TVs across today&#8217;s most popular systems, including Google TV, Roku OS, Samsung&#8217;s Tizen, Vizio OS, Amazon Fire TV, and LG&#8217;s webOS. If you&#8217;re deep in Samsung&#8217;s ecosystem, the <u>S90F OLED<\/u> is an impressive Tizen TV with excellent picture quality. Meanwhile, those tied to Google&#8217;s services should consider the TCL QM8K, which features a bright QLED panel and seamless integration with existing Google accounts.<\/p><p>Below, you&#8217;ll find all my picks for the best smart TVs, organized by platform so you can jump to the interface you prefer.

It&#8217;s available on TVs from several brands, including TCL, Hisense, and Sony. But when it comes to overall performance for the money, the TCL QM8K is hard to beat.<\/p><p>The QM8K&#8217;s Google TV homepage features a row of top-pick curations, followed by your favorite apps, a continue-watching section, and additional rows of recommendations across genres. It&#8217;s not exactly unique, but it&#8217;s more user-friendly than similar layouts from Amazon, LG, and Samsung. I&#8217;ve also found its content recommendations to be more in line with titles I&#8217;d actually want to watch.<\/p><p>As you might expect, the system seamlessly integrates with an existing Google account, so you can set up the TV quickly with an Android phone, sync your photos for screensavers, share your account data with the display, and pair with other Google smart devices. For instance, I can view my Google Nest camera feeds right on the TV&#8217;s screen.<\/p><p>Navigation is smooth and responsive, and our reviewer didn&#8217;t run into any bugs or glitches. Voice control works well, whether you use it hands-free or via the remote. The QM8K even supports Gemini AI, which enables more conversational queries and smarter results. The TV&#8217;s remote is also backlit, which is a nice touch.<\/p><p>When it comes to image quality, the QM8K stands out as the brightest TV on this list. During testing, our reviewer measured a peak of around 3,600 nits. It&#8217;s important to note that such high luminance is only necessary in certain situations, but it allows the TV to produce bold HDR images with intense highlights and vivid colors. You can also boost the TV&#8217;s brightness to overcome glare, making the QM8K a great option for watching sports during the day.<\/p><p>And though the TV&#8217;s viewing angles aren&#8217;t the best, TCL has improved off-axis viewing compared to older models. The color and contrast shift a bit when viewed from off-center, but not enough to make the image appear washed out. The TV also features one of the best local dimming systems on the market, resulting in fantastic contrast control. Backlight fluctuations, uneven brightness, and blooming are common on many TVs of this type, but the QM8K was virtually free of them.<\/p><p>On the downside, the QM8K isn&#8217;t available in as many sizes as some of TCL&#8217;s other Google TVs. If you want a 55-inch Google TV, I recommend opting for the QM7K. That less expensive model can&#8217;t get as bright, but it still offers great midrange performance for its class.<\/p><p>TCL also sells a 2026 version of this TV, called the QM8L. The new model delivers similar performance but uses TCL&#8217;s SQD technology to enable an even wider color range. I was impressed with the QM8L during my testing, but the cheaper QM8K remains the better value for most people.

While the brand offers brighter, more colorful models, the S90F delivers exceptional picture quality for its price and a strong array of smart features.<\/p><p>Like all Samsung TVs, the S90F runs on the Tizen operating system. Tizen provides access to all major streaming apps, offers smooth integration with other Samsung devices, and includes a few exclusive perks. The home screen&#8217;s layout is simple and functional: your most recently used app or device appears at the top, followed by favorite apps and rows of content suggestions. It&#8217;s easy enough to use, but not quite as intuitive as some other platforms, such as Roku OS. I&#8217;ve also found Tizen&#8217;s content recommendations to be less tailored toward my interests than those on rival systems like Google TV.<\/p><p>From the Tizen sidebar, you&#8217;ll find pages for search, ambient mode, Samsung Daily Plus (for fitness, productivity, and smart home controls), and a Gaming Hub. The gaming hub is a cool feature that has cloud services such as Nvidia GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, and Xbox Game Pass. That latter app enables Game Pass members to play games without a console, though performance depends heavily on your internet connection.<\/p><p>For voice control, you can choose between Amazon Alexa or Samsung&#8217;s Bixby assistant. Though older Tizen TVs occasionally had lag, our reviewer found the S90F noticeably smoother than previous models. That said, the system requires some tweaking before it feels streamlined. By default, the S90F resumes the last-used app after a short period of inactivity, and disabling this means digging through menus.<\/p><p>Input switching is also less convenient than it should be since the remote lacks a dedicated source button, forcing you to navigate through menus to reach connected devices. However, the included remote earns points for its unique SolarCell design that doesn&#8217;t require batteries. Instead, it charges via sunlight and indoor lights.<\/p><p>But ultimately, the S90F really shines in picture quality. The OLED panel delivers perfect black levels in dark rooms and an infinite contrast ratio. Using quantum dots, it delivers brighter, more vibrant colors than similarly priced LG OLEDs \u2014 topping out at about 1,460 nits. The result: eye-catching HDR performance with crisp highlights, a dazzling color range, and wide viewing angles.<\/p><p>Those considering the S90F should also be aware that Samsung offers a 2026 version called the S90H. The new model is similar but uses a less reflective screen, which reduces glare at the cost of lowering contrast. The Tizen interface has also been tweaked with a more streamlined design, though it&#8217;s not clear if this new UI will also be brought to the S90F via an update. For now, I still recommend the S90F as the better option since it costs less. You can learn more in my Samsung 2026 OLED roundup.<\/p><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The 42-, 48-, and 83-inch versions of the S90F don&#8217;t use quantum dots, so their color performance can&#8217;t match that of the 55-, 65-, and 77-inch models.<\/p><p>Read our full Samsung S90F TV review.<\/p><p>Check out our guides to all of the best TVs, best Samsung TVs, and best OLED TVs.<\/p><h2>Best Roku TV: Roku Pro Series<\/h2><div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roku Pro Series TV 2025\" class=\"lazy-image\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcs='{\"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/6936df9904d0f0a114f19361\":{\"contentType\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"aspectRatioW\":1500,\"aspectRatioH\":1500}}' src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1 1'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"\/>\n<noscript>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roku Pro Series TV 2025\" class=\"wp-image-911\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3c4a2209880100d6c17369208c85f442.webp\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3c4a2209880100d6c17369208c85f442.webp 600w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3c4a2209880100d6c17369208c85f442-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3c4a2209880100d6c17369208c85f442-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<header>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\tRoku 65-inch Pro Seires QLED 4K TV (2025)\n                  \t\t\t\n<\/header>\n<main>\n<div>\n$999.99\n<span>$1,199.99<\/span>\n<span>Save 17%<\/span>\n<\/div> <div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\t\t\t    View at Amazon\n                  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \n \n                  \t\t\t\t\t\t    View at Walmart\n                  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \n <\/div>\n<\/main>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What we love: <\/strong>Roku&#8217;s interface is easy to navigate, the TV&#8217;s assembly is toolless, and the remote has lots of handy features like a rechargeable battery and backlit keys.<\/p><p><strong>Drawbacks: <\/strong>The homepage&#8217;s new redesign is a mixed bag, with less emphasis on apps, and Roku doesn&#8217;t support built-in Alexa or Gemini.<\/p><p>The Roku Pro Series is the brand&#8217;s best smart TV overall. It offers good midrange performance with premium touches, such as quantum dots and a Mini LED backlight.<\/p><p>Our reviewer tested the 2024 model, but Roku has since replaced it with a slightly refreshed 2025 version. General smart TV performance remains unchanged, but the new edition offers a modest increase in brightness.<\/p><p>The Roku OS has long been one of my favorite smart TV interfaces, thanks to its intuitive design and user-friendly features. Roku&#8217;s home screen has traditionally put your apps front and center, rather than cluttering the screen with rows of recommendations you may not want. Big icons make navigation straightforward, and our reviewer noted smooth performance with no lag.<\/p><p>However, Roku is now rolling out a revised home screen to all of its TVs and devices. The new homepage places greater emphasis on content recommendations. Users now get access to their eight most frequently used apps toward the top, but the full app library has been shifted farther down the page. I&#8217;m a bit torn about this change, and prefer the older design for its app-focused approach. You can see the new homepage in action on the Roku YouTube page.<\/p><p>The Pro Series comes with Roku&#8217;s Voice Remote Pro 2, and it&#8217;s another highlight. It uses a rechargeable USB-C battery that lasts around three months per charge and supports both push-to-talk and hands-free voice commands (with a physical mic-mute switch for privacy). Although Roku TVs don&#8217;t natively integrate Alexa, Gemini, or Siri, they can be paired with compatible smart speakers. The remote&#8217;s backlit buttons \u2014 a rarity even on high-end Samsung and LG sets \u2014 make nighttime viewing easier, and the built-in &#8220;Lost Remote Finder&#8221; helps you track it down with a quick chime. I also love the TV&#8217;s tool-less assembly, which uses knobs on the TV&#8217;s left and right feet to attach the stand without screws. <\/p><p>Picture quality is strong for a midrange QLED. The panel can surpass 1,000 nits of brightness, meeting the benchmark for impactful HDR highlights. Explosions and other bright effects have satisfying punch, and while black levels can&#8217;t compete with OLEDs, the Mini LED backlight and local dimming deliver solid contrast. Our reviewer observed only minor light bleed in dark scenes.<\/p><p>However, the screen reflects light easily, and colors wash out when viewed off-axis. These are typical limitations for QLED TVs in this category, though, and these drawbacks don&#8217;t outweigh the TV&#8217;s overall value. Despite a few weaknesses, the Pro Series is one of the best-looking TVs available with Roku&#8217;s operating system, making it an excellent option for anyone who favors the brand&#8217;s smart TV experience. This model is available in 55-, 65-, and 75-inch sizes.<\/p><p>Read our Roku Pro Series 4K TV review (2024 model).<\/p><p>Visit our guide to all of the best Roku TVs.<\/p><h2>Best Amazon Fire TV: Ember Mini LED<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED\" class=\"lazy-image\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcs='{\"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/67740e57e5726ab18d0e288b\":{\"contentType\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"aspectRatioW\":600,\"aspectRatioH\":600}}' src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1 1'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"\/>\n<noscript>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED\" class=\"wp-image-912\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/504d188f7cf1c9f09a47758a8ff2bbdc.webp\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/504d188f7cf1c9f09a47758a8ff2bbdc.webp 600w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/504d188f7cf1c9f09a47758a8ff2bbdc-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/504d188f7cf1c9f09a47758a8ff2bbdc-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<header>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\tAmazon 65-inch Ember Mini LED TV\n                  \t\t\t\n<\/header>\n<main>\n<div>\n$1,089.99\n<\/div> <div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\t\t    View at Amazon\n                  \t\t\t\t\t  \n <\/div>\n<\/main>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What we love: <\/strong>It supports hands-free Alexa and Alexa+ and delivers solid image quality for this tier.<\/p><p><strong>Drawbacks: <\/strong>The Fire TV interface emphasizes sponsored picks and Amazon content too much.<\/p><p>Amazon began making its own smart TVs in 2021 and initially marketed them as Fire TVs. However, it recently rebranded the lineup as Amazon Ember. The latest flagship offering is called the\u00a0Ember Mini LED. This model offers better picture quality than the company&#8217;s more affordable options while still providing an extensive suite of Alexa-powered features.<\/p><p>The Fire TV OS is used across all of the company&#8217;s smart TVs and streaming devices, including its Fire TV sticks. The interface has received a few welcome refreshes over the years to help alleviate some of the clunkiness of earlier iterations, but it&#8217;s still one of my least favorite layouts.<\/p><p>My main gripe is that Amazon only displays a handful of app icons at the top, so you have to take extra steps to access all your downloaded services. I also don&#8217;t love how product ads, sponsored recommendations, and picks geared toward Prime Video are emphasized so heavily on the home screen.<\/p><p>However, those drawbacks aren&#8217;t dealbreakers. Functionally, the interface operates smoothly and provides all the basic features commonly found on competing systems. Amazon even offers an &#8220;Ambient Experience&#8221; mode that features screensavers and widgets for time and weather.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/?p=906\">They tricked Meta\u2019s chatbot to hack into Instagram accounts. It\u2019s a warning about how much we trust AI.<\/a><\/p><p>One of the Ember Mini LED&#8217;s main selling points is support for hands-free Alexa or Alexa+ voice control. Alexa+ is an AI-enhanced version of Alexa that can handle more conversational queries and follow-up requests. It&#8217;s free for Prime members but costs $20 a month to activate if you don&#8217;t have Prime.<\/p><p>The Ember Mini LED also delivers solid image quality for an upper-midrange TV, with performance that&#8217;s nearly on par with similar Mini LED models from TCL and Hisense. However, it can&#8217;t quite match rivals like the TCL QM8K in overall value for your dollar.<\/p><p>Our reviewer measured a peak brightness of about 1,400 nits in HDR, which is respectable and more than double that of the brand&#8217;s step-down model. Black levels were also solid during testing, but the TV measured slightly under the expected brightness levels for low- to medium-shade gray.<\/p><p>Though the Ember Mini LED is the best smart TV in Amazon&#8217;s lineup, I don&#8217;t recommend it if picture quality is your top priority. Viewers who want a Fire TV with truly premium image performance should consider venturing outside Amazon&#8217;s lineup and checking out one of Panasonic&#8217;s OLEDs. Panasonic&#8217;s collection includes the flagship Z95 OLED. Though more expensive than Amazon&#8217;s Ember Mini LED, Panasonic Fire TVs are the most high-end TVs available with Amazon&#8217;s interface.<\/p><p>Read our Amazon Ember Mini LED review.<\/p><p>Check out our guide to all the best Amazon Fire TV devices<\/p><h2>Best webOS display: LG C5<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LG C5 OLED TV\" class=\"lazy-image\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcs='{\"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/67d04462585f1dff88b1c0dd\":{\"contentType\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"aspectRatioW\":600,\"aspectRatioH\":600}}' src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1 1'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"\/>\n<noscript>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LG C5 OLED TV\" class=\"wp-image-306\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dc313c45425d200796afffadb6dbc68b.webp\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dc313c45425d200796afffadb6dbc68b.webp 600w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dc313c45425d200796afffadb6dbc68b-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dc313c45425d200796afffadb6dbc68b-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<header>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\tLG 65-inch C5 OLED 4K TV\n                  \t\t\t\n<\/header>\n<main>\n<div>\n$1,399\n<\/div> <div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\t\t    View at Amazon\n                  \t\t\t\t\t  \n <\/div>\n<\/main>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What we love: <\/strong>It lets you choose between Alexa and ThinQ voice control, you can disable ads from appearing on the homepage, and image quality is fantastic thanks to the TV&#8217;s OLED screen.<\/p><p><strong>Drawbacks: <\/strong>By default, webOS features too many sponsored picks and shopping recommendations, and the remote&#8217;s motion controls are divisive.<\/p><p>All of LG&#8217;s TVs run on the brand&#8217;s webOS smart platform, and the C5 OLED stands out as the company&#8217;s best smart TV value. It delivers great picture quality and thoughtful extras, such as Dolby Vision support (which Samsung OLEDs lack) and a motion-control remote. Additionally, it&#8217;s available in various sizes, ranging from 42 to 83 inches.<\/p><p>LG&#8217;s webOS interface has undergone significant changes over the years. What started as a simple pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen has evolved into a full-screen homepage that looks and feels more modern, similar to what you&#8217;ll find on Google TV or Samsung&#8217;s Tizen. You&#8217;ll see organized rows of app icons, content suggestions, and dedicated pages for categories like gaming, music, and home office.<\/p><p>Like many smart TV systems, ads appear by default, though you can disable them in the settings menu, which is a nice option. Still, sponsored content and shopping promos are featured a bit too prominently out of the box, forcing you to scroll down for relevant recommendations. Competing systems, such as Google TV, surface personalized picks much more effectively.<\/p><p>That said, navigation is snappy and responsive across LG&#8217;s latest lineup. Voice control is flexible, as you can choose LG&#8217;s built-in ThinQ assistant or Amazon Alexa, and both work hands-free or via the remote. The remote itself remains one of LG&#8217;s signature touches. In addition to standard buttons and a click wheel, it offers motion controls that let you point at the screen to move a cursor (think of it like a Nintendo Wii controller). This is a love-it-or-hate-it feature, but it&#8217;s there for those who want it. The C5&#8217;s remote is also a bit more compact and comfortable than older models, though LG oddly removed its dedicated input and mute buttons.<\/p><p>When it comes to picture quality, the C5 OLED is a strong performer. It nearly matches Samsung&#8217;s S90F, offering wide viewing angles, perfect black levels, and infinite contrast thanks to pixel-level dimming. However, unlike many Samsung OLED TVs, the C5 doesn&#8217;t use quantum dots, resulting in a slightly narrower color range.<\/p><p>Our reviewer measured a peak brightness of around 1,174 nits, which is solid but lower than the S90F&#8217;s 1,460 nits. Even so, the C5&#8217;s HDR performance is excellent, especially when watching Dolby Vision content, which is better at fine-tuning color and contrast based on the TV&#8217;s capabilities. Dolby Vision&#8217;s improvements over other HDR formats are subtle, but it&#8217;s a nice feature to have. Check out our HDR TV guide for more details.<\/p><p>LG also sells a 2026 version of the C5, called the C6. In most cases, the refreshed model is very similar, but this depends on the size you&#8217;re considering. The 77- and 83-inch C6 actually use a more advanced OLED panel, which delivers a notable brightness upgrade. That said, the C6 costs a lot more. You can learn more in my LG C6H OLED TV review and 2026 LG OLED roundup.<\/p><p>Read our LG C5 4K TV review.<\/p><p>Check out our guide to the best LG TVs.<\/p><h2>Best Vizio OS set: Vizio Quantum Pro<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vizio Quantum Pro TV\" class=\"lazy-image\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcs='{\"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/65c3b1256fcb546d2d4d0556\":{\"contentType\":\"image\/jpeg\",\"aspectRatioW\":600,\"aspectRatioH\":600}}' src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1 1'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"\/>\n<noscript>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vizio Quantum Pro TV\" class=\"wp-image-913\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7adbb035568ce71998e40792c6fa2de3.webp\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7adbb035568ce71998e40792c6fa2de3.webp 600w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7adbb035568ce71998e40792c6fa2de3-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7adbb035568ce71998e40792c6fa2de3-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<header>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\tVizio 65-inch Quantum Pro QLED 4K TV\n                  \t\t\t\n<\/header>\n<main>\n<div>\n$699.77\n<\/div> <div>\n\n                  \t\t\t\t\t    View at BrandsMart\n                  \t\t\t\t\t  \n <\/div>\n<\/main>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What we love:\u00a0<\/strong>Includes a compact remote with voice control, and the TV has wider viewing angles than most QLED sets, so the image doesn&#8217;t degrade as much when you sit to the side.<\/p><p><strong>Drawbacks: <\/strong>The TV doesn&#8217;t have a built-in Alexa or Gemini, the homepage has a lot of random content recommendations, and the panel&#8217;s contrast is lower than most rivals in this price range.<\/p><p>Like Samsung and LG, Vizio uses its own smart TV system rather than licensing one from Google, Roku, or Amazon. The brand previously used an OS called &#8220;SmartCast,&#8221; but it has since revamped the interface and now simply calls it Vizio OS. The Quantum Pro (VQP65C-84) was one of the first displays to launch with this design.<\/p><p>The Vizio OS layout is most reminiscent of Google TV, with features like a &#8220;Trending Now&#8221; section and a prominent row for your favorite apps. Navigation speed is responsive and smooth, which isn&#8217;t always a given on TVs in this class. The interface also features a well-organized layout for various settings that is less cluttered than those of other options, such as Samsung&#8217;s Tizen OS.<\/p><p>However, our reviewer didn&#8217;t love the interface&#8217;s heavy emphasis on Vizio&#8217;s Watch Free+ TV service. Other brands offer similar ad-supported internet TV apps, but Vizio promotes its content a bit more, and the selection isn&#8217;t exactly top-tier. One of the homepage&#8217;s largest on-screen areas is dedicated to recommendations for forgotten movies, such as 2005&#8217;s &#8220;Bewitched&#8221; reboot. There&#8217;s also no &#8220;Continue Watching&#8221; section on the homepage, which is a convenience that most smart TV interfaces include.<\/p><p>The Quantum Pro does include a voice remote that works well, but, like Roku TVs, it doesn&#8217;t feature built-in support for Alexa or Google Assistant\/Gemini. Thankfully, you can still pair the TV with a separate smart speaker from those brands. The remote itself is compact and ergonomic, with a simplified set of controls that&#8217;s similar to Roku&#8217;s design.<\/p><p>With a bright image that peaks at about 1,000 nits, the Quantum Pro offers solid picture performance, especially when watching TV during the day. It has quantum dots to produce a wide range of colors and local dimming to darken specific portions of its screen. That said, the TV&#8217;s contrast is a bit low compared to many competing QLEDs in this class, resulting in a slightly washed-out appearance in a dark room.<\/p><p>On the plus side, the Quantum Pro excels in one area where many QLEDs struggle: viewing angles. Colors and contrast shift a bit when you sit to the side of the Quantum Pro, but the loss of quality is far less severe than it is on most QLEDs from Roku, Hisense, and TCL. While not the best smart TV for home theaters, the Quantum Pro is a solid option for casual viewing, especially if you have lots of seats to the side of the screen.<\/p><p>Buyers should note that Vizio also offers a cheaper 2026 smart TV, the\u00a0Mini LED Quantum, which uses a Mini LED backlight and should deliver better contrast than the Quantum Pro. However, the new model has a 60Hz panel rather than a 120Hz one, which is a notable downgrade for gamers.<\/p><p>Read our Vizio Quantum Pro 4K TV review.<\/p><h2>Which smart TV system is best?<\/h2><p>The best smart TVs all have built-in operating systems, but different brands use different platforms. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of popular smart TV systems and the brands that use them:<\/p><div><table><colgroup><\/colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Smart TV Interface<\/td><td>Brands that use it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fire TV<\/td><td>Amazon, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL, Toshiba, Insignia, Pioneer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Google TV<\/td><td>Sony, TCL, Hisense<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Roku OS<\/td><td>Roku, TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Onn<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vizio OS<\/td><td>Vizio, Onn<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tizen<\/td><td>Samsung<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>webOS<\/td><td>LG<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><p>Although app selection and general functionality are similar across each OS, their interface styles, personalization options, digital assistants, and additional features vary. Ultimately, which smart TV system is best for your needs largely comes down to personal preference and whether you&#8217;re already invested in a specific smart home ecosystem.<\/p><p>For instance, a Google TV or Fire TV will pair more seamlessly with existing Google or Amazon accounts, and they&#8217;re built to work well with other devices from those brands. Meanwhile, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS TVs can serve as smart home hubs to control other Samsung or LG devices and appliances.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s difficult to declare one system the definitive best, but if I were asked to ignore picture quality, price, physical design, and other model-specific factors, I&#8217;d favor displays with the Google TV OS. It&#8217;s easy to set up with my existing Google account, has a clean interface, and newer models feature smart Gemini AI integration.<\/p><h2>How we test smart TVs<\/h2>\n<p>To choose the best smart TVs, our team tested various models from every major brand. We focused on selecting displays that offer the best overall value across the main smart TV platforms. We&#8217;ve been reviewing TVs for over a decade and have used that experience to develop our testing methodology. Our review process involves evaluating key performance areas, including operating system speed, smart features, picture clarity, contrast, brightness, color capabilities, gaming features, and viewing angles.<\/p><p>When reviewing the best smart TVs, we emphasize each display&#8217;s operating system. Navigation speed is evaluated to determine how long it takes for apps to load and to assess the smoothness and consistency of each interface when adjusting settings and navigating between menus. We note whether any major TV apps are missing and consider additional perks, such as Alexa or Gemini support, ambient modes, smart home integration, cloud gaming, and remote control features.<\/p><p>We use a colorimeter to record a TV&#8217;s peak brightness and color range. Various test patterns from a generator and the Spears &amp; Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark 4K Blu-ray disc are also used to check other objective metrics.<\/p><p>But grids and color bars can only reveal so much, so we place a big emphasis on real-world content and day-to-day viewing in our testing. We use a curated selection of scenes from movies and TV shows specifically chosen to demonstrate a TV&#8217;s HDR performance, black levels, color, and fine detail. Demo material includes a mix of native 4K resolution (Ultra HD), high-definition (HD), and standard-definition (SD) programs, available through streaming, Blu-ray disc, and cable. This helps us see how a display&#8217;s processing handles both high- and low-quality sources. Testing is done in both dark and bright conditions.<\/p><p>Learn more about our tech product review process.<\/p><h2><strong>Meet the expert behind this guide:<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Steven Cohen, senior tech editor: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve been writing about home theater gear for more than a decade, and every year my team and I review the latest smart TVs from all the major brands. I use calibration meters and benchmark patterns to measure picture quality \u2014 things like brightness, color accuracy, and contrast \u2014 but with smart TVs, specs are only half the story. I pay just as much attention to the software: how fast the interface loads, how easy it is to jump between apps, how well voice search works, and whether the smart home and streaming features actually make life easier. I live with every TV the same way you would, using it for Netflix streams, live TV, gaming, and casual channel surfing to see how it performs day to day. Though each operating system has its pros and cons, the picks in this guide represent each smart TV interface at its best.<\/p><p>Learn more <u>about the Reviews team at Business Insider<\/u>.<\/p><h2>Smart TV FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3>Should you buy a 2026 or 2025 smart TV?<\/h3><p>Right now, a 2025 TV is usually the better value. Last year&#8217;s models are getting excellent deals, and many offer picture quality and features very similar to those of their 2026 successors. Certain 2026 TVs may be worth the premium to enthusiasts willing to pay extra for the latest tech, but for most buyers, a discounted 2025 TV delivers the best bang for your buck.<\/p><h3>Do any smart TVs use Apple&#8217;s tvOS interface?<\/h3><p>Apple does not license its tvOS interface to display manufacturers. As a result, there are no smart TVs with the Apple interface built in. The only way to get the tvOS interface on your display is to purchase a separate Apple TV streaming device.<\/p><h3>Do all smart TVs offer access to the same streaming apps?<\/h3><p>Just a few years ago, app selection varied a lot between different smart TV systems. Certain popular services, such as HBO, Peacock, and Apple TV Plus, were only available via select smart TV platforms. However, this is no longer the case. Generally speaking, all smart TVs now offer access to the same core selection of video apps.<\/p><p>For instance, all our picks for the best streaming services are available across all the major TV operating systems, from Roku OS to Samsung Tizen. That said, there are still exceptions for smaller services and niche offerings.<\/p><p>If you&#8217;re shopping for a new smart TV and you frequently use a specific streaming app, check that service&#8217;s device support page to ensure that it&#8217;s available on the model you choose. But thankfully, even if you end up with a smart TV that&#8217;s missing one of your favorite apps, you&#8217;re not out of luck. Chances are, the service in question is available on a stand-alone streaming device you can purchase separately.<\/p><h3>How do smart TVs compare to stand-alone streaming devices?<\/h3><p>The best smart TVs deliver solid streaming performance, and most buyers will be satisfied with their built-in interfaces, app catalogs, and features. However, navigation speed and overall app stability tend to be a bit snappier when using a separate streaming device. Likewise, some people may prefer a different interface or digital assistant than the ones that come built into their TV.<\/p><p>If you&#8217;re unhappy with your smart TV&#8217;s navigation speed, service selection, or visual design, check out our guide to the best streaming devices. Picks include set-top boxes and streaming sticks from Amazon, Google, Roku, and Apple. Reliable entry-level options are frequently available for under $20, while flagship models typically cost between $70 and $150.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/?p=904\">Trump privately signs scaled-back AI executive order that cuts down a voluntary review period<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the best smart TVs across operating systems, including Google TV, Roku, Tizen, Fire TV, webOS, and Vizio OS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reviews","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
