The best QLED TVs for 2024, after testing more than 20 models

It’s hard to deny the eye-crushing illumination of that giant TV that’s smack-dab in the middle of Best Buy’s home theater department. Chances are the set in question is a QLED TV made by the likes of Samsung, Sony, TCL, Hisense, or a handful of other manufacturers. Using the same LED lighting systems that LED-LCD TVs have been using for years, the “Q” in QLED refers to quantum dots, a layer of sub-pixels that chemically responds to LED activity, with the end result being vibrant and enhanced colors.

QLED TVs come in all shapes and sizes. Some models (like Samsung’s The Frame QLED Series) are even designed to look like pieces of artwork hanging on your living room wall. With no shortage of options, picking a new QLED can be quite the battle, which is why we’ve put together this list of favorites. Here’s several of the best QLED TVs for 2024 you can order right now.
