TVs

TVs Follow Follow You can watch movies and shows from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and other services on a smartphone or a tablet, but a dedicated TV will always be something special. It’s the centerpiece of your living room, and the only display that you can truly cozy up to on the couch for hours on end. If you want to get more out of your purchase, you can make it even better with a powerful sound system and by hooking up a few game consoles, like the Nintendo Switch, PS4, or Xbox One. The latest 4K (and soon, 8K) displays from Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, and more deliver enhanced visual quality, better value, and smart features that you can’t find on other screens outside of your local cinema. If you’re looking for the latest TV news, how-tos on optimizing your home theater setup, and reviews for OLED and LCD TVs, you’ve come to the right place.

According to FlatpanelsHD , LG Display has halted production of 8K panels. We haven’t seen a new 8K model from LG since 2024, and certainly won’t in 2026. So for the seven people that still care about 8K TVs, Samsung is the only manufacturer still making them. The last 8K TVs being made [ Samsung Electronics America ] T Thomas Ricker Jan 28 Link TCL about to unseat Samsung in TVs. Samsung has been the leading TV maker globally for 20 years. China’s TCL is this close to unseating the South Korean champ after posting a 20 percent surge in year-over-year global TV shipments, according to Counterpoint Research . That Sony x TCL deal all but guarantees a new leader should it go through. J External Link John Higgins Jan 27 Link Vizio stealth released its first significant TVs since the Walmart acquisition. New 75-inch ($498) and 65-inch ($398) Vizio mini-LED TVs — the first from the company — have appeared on Walmart (previous Vizio TVs were FALD but not mini LED). They’re the cheapest mini-LEDs available in those sizes and I expect their brightness will compete with comparable TCL and Hisense TVs.

CES saw only a very minor update to the Frame family , with the mainline adding 75-, 85-, and 98-inch models, and the Frame Pro now coming in a smaller 55-inch size. Oddly, only two of the seven mainline Frame models will support the One Connect Box — the 43- and 50-inch.

How can both Samsung Display and LG Display claim to have the world’s brightest TV when they offer the same 4,500-nit brightness peaks? Not convincingly! But the extra 500 nits is still a milestone over last-gen tech, and boy are these new OLED screens gorgeous in person. You can’t say OLED is lacking brightness anymore .

To counter last month’s announcement of more manageable Micro RGB sizes for 2026, Samsung went the other direction at CES. The 130-inch monster dominated First Look as soon as I entered. It’s likely just a statement piece, but if not, start checking your cushions for loose $100 bills. The Timeless Frame is less of a TV frame and more of an artistic statement piece.
