Best TVs for contrast ratio

#1 LG C6
5.0

Pixel-level lighting produces superb contrast, with bright highlights standing cleanly against dark backgrounds and plenty of depth in cinematic scenes.

Pros: resolution, contrast ratio

Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements

#2 LG B6
4.9

OLED contrast is a standout, with bright highlights and dark tones balancing cleanly in demanding scenes.

Pros: display technology, response time

Cons: setup ease, account requirements

#3 TCL QM8L
4.8

Powerful light output and precise dimming create striking contrast, giving HDR scenes strong depth and punch without routinely washing out surrounding shadows.

Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution

Cons: motion clarity, response time

#4 TCL QM7L
3.9

Contrast is generally strong for a midrange Mini-LED, creating punchy images and convincing depth. It still trails OLED and premium Mini-LED sets, and can look merely average in difficult scenes.

Pros: resolution, HDR format support

Cons: software updates, account requirements
