Best TVs for a home theater

Large screens ranked by calculated movie score, for rooms built around film.

A home theater room is usually dark, with controlled light and a seating distance that suits a big screen. These are ranked by the calculated movie score, which values black level, HDR highlights and color. Plan the sound at the same time, since a large picture deserves more than TV speakers.

Good to know

Questions people ask

Should I choose a TV or a projector?

A TV is brighter and simpler. A projector can reach a larger picture but needs a dark room, a screen and more setup.

What sound should I pair with it?

A soundbar can be a good start, while a receiver and speakers give real surround sound. The Setup Builder checks compatibility.

Does seating distance matter?

Yes. A larger TV needs more distance to feel comfortable. The product page calculates a recommended size from your distance.
