Best value TVs

The TVs that deliver the most picture for the money, judged against others of a similar size.

Value here compares the quality of each TV with its price, measured against TVs of a similar size, so a 65-inch set is judged against other 65-inch sets. Only TVs with a real, dated price get a value score. It rewards good buys at every budget, not only cheap TVs.

Good to know

Questions people ask

How is value calculated?

From the TV’s calculated overall score, its checked price and the sizes it is sold in, compared with similar-sized TVs. The method is explained on the methodology page.

Does the cheapest TV win?

No. A cheap TV with weak picture quality scores poorly. The score favors TVs where quality is high for what you pay.

Why do values change?

Value depends on prices, which change. When a TV’s price is checked again, its value score is recalculated.
