Best TVs for bass performance

#1 TCL QM8L
3.9

Rear woofers add useful mid-bass and more weight than most televisions. They cannot reproduce true subwoofer depth, so cinematic low-end still requires an add-on.

Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution

Cons: motion clarity, response time

#2 TCL QM7L
3.8

Rear woofers add more weight than typical thin-TV speakers, but bass remains modest and cannot replace a soundbar or subwoofer.

Pros: resolution, HDR format support

Cons: software updates, account requirements

#3 LG C6
2.9

Bass is tighter and more controlled than on the C5, but deep low-end impact remains limited on standard models.

Pros: resolution, contrast ratio

Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements

#4 LG B6
2.0

Bass is limited and thin, with only modest rumble during effects-heavy scenes.

Pros: display technology, response time

Cons: setup ease, account requirements
