Best TVs for HDR brightness

#1 LG C6
5.0

The C6 makes a clear brightness jump over the C5, creating more impactful sunlight, clouds, reflections, and specular highlights. Full-screen brightness remains more limited than small-window peaks.

Pros: resolution, contrast ratio

Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements

#2 TCL QM8L
5.0

HDR highlights reach extraordinary levels, producing brilliant sparks, sunlight, reflections, and explosions. The panel has enough headroom to make premium HDR content look genuinely dramatic.

Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution

Cons: motion clarity, response time

#3 LG B6
4.3

HDR brightness rises meaningfully over the B5 and reaches roughly 695–895 nits depending on mode and test method. Premium competitors remain much brighter.

Pros: display technology, response time

Cons: setup ease, account requirements

#4 TCL QM7L
4.2

Highlights have plenty of intensity and often preserve detail rather than clipping. The QM8L is visibly brighter side by side, while the QM7L's highest output may not remain stable.

Pros: resolution, HDR format support

Cons: software updates, account requirements
