Best TVs for movies

Contrast, HDR and color for film fans, ranked by calculated movie score.

Good to know

Questions people ask

Does HDR matter for movies?

Yes. HDR adds highlight brightness and color range, but the effect depends on the TV’s brightness. Measured peak figures show how far each model goes.

What about motion smoothing?

Most film fans turn it off to keep the filmmaker’s look. A good TV lets you disable it easily.

Are movie modes accurate?

Modes named Filmmaker, Cinema or similar are usually the most faithful, though accuracy varies by model.
