The best OLED smart TV we've tested is the LG C1 OLED. It provides excellent overall performance that delivers stunning picture quality in dark rooms, and it's also good enough to use in well-lit rooms. The built-in LG webOS is easy-to-use and has a bunch of apps available to download, and there are also gaming features if you want to play video games.
OLED TVs are unique because they don't have a backlight and instead have individually-lit pixels that turn themselves on and off. It means that it has a near-infinite contrast ratio for deep blacks, and there's no blooming around bright objects either, making it a fantastic choice for dark room viewing. LG TVs like this one come with a unique remote called the Magic Remote. It's different than remotes from other brands because it has a point-and-press feature, like a Wii remote. It allows you to easily navigate through the menu to open your favorite apps.
If you watch HDR movies, you should be happy to know it has excellent performance for this, but its HDR peak brightness is a bit limited. It means that some highlights don't pop the way they should. Also, while it has excellent gradient handling, you'll still notice banding in scenes with shades of similar color. If that doesn't bother you, it's the best smart OLED TV that we've tested.
