Based on TechRadar's lab and subjective testing, the publication names the LG C5 its top OLED TV for most buyers due to balanced picture quality, webOS 25, and four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K 144Hz gaming. The guide recommends the dimmer LG B5 for tighter budgets, the LG G5 for flagship brightness, the Panasonic Z95B for built-in 5.1.2-channel sound, and the matte-screen Samsung S95F for bright rooms. Reported drawbacks include no HDR10+ support on LG models, no Dolby Vision and minor black crush on the Samsung S95F, and only two HDMI 2.1 ports on the Panasonic Z95B.
