Currently, Samsung is the biggest TV maker doing QLED TVs, so in this list of the best QLED TVs, it’ll be dominated by Samsung. But TCL has also released a couple models as well. Which also means those are Roku QLED TVs.
Top 9 Best QLED Smart TVs
We have listed nine of the best QLED smart TVs that are currently on the market, down below. These range from smaller TVs, to larger ones, as low as $549, all the way up to several thousand dollars. There’s even a 8K QLED TV available in this list.
Samsung Q80R
Available in: 55, 65, 75 & 82-inchesPrice: Starting at $1299Buy: Samsung.com
The Samsung Q80R is the best smart TV you can buy right now for a few reasons. But the biggest one is the picture quality. It’s going to give you the best looking picture, thanks to it being a QLED TV. That’s going to give you some very bright and vivid colors, and with HDR included, it’s going to look stunning. This is partly thanks to the Quantum processor that is inside the Q80R, processing the picture to give you the best picture yet. Viewing angles on the Q80R are also pretty insane. Meaning that you can sit anywhere in your living room and still get a really great looking picture when watching the big game. Samsung Q80R - Samsung.com
Samsung QN900A 8K QLED TV
Available in: 65, 75, 85-inchesPrice: Starting at $4999Buy: Samsung.com
The QN900A is the second-generation 8K TV from Samsung, so it does have a big improvement over the Q9000R that was on this list previously. It’s also more expensive and only available in bigger sizes. Though, to really see the difference in an 8K TV, you kind of need it in at least a 65-inch model. This has the new Samsung Neo Quantum Processor 8K which is going to provide a stunning picture on the QN900A. It will also upscale non-8K content to an 8K resolution. Which is needed since there is very few titles available in 8K right now. It also has what Samsung calls “Infinity Screen” with almost no bezels on any of the sides of the TV. So it can melt into the wall of your home, particularly if you have it mounted. Samsung QN900A 8K QLED TV - Samsung.com
TCL 5-Series 4K QLED Roku Smart TV
This is the cheapest QLED TV on this list. And that mostly comes down to the fact that TCL does sell their TVs almost at cost. It’s how they’ve become so popular. The 5-Series has support for Dolby Vision HDR, as well as HLG and HDR10. There’s also an auto-game mode available for optimized fast-response gaming experience. Making it great for those that just picked up the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X.
Samsung QN90A Neo QLED 4K TV
Available in: 50, 55, 65, 75, 85-inchesPrice: Starting at $1449Buy: Samsung.com
This is the 2021 release of the lower-end Neo QLED TVs from Samsung. It comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 50 to 85-inches. So there’s something for everyone here. Neo QLED is a sort of new technology that Samsung started using in 2021. This means that it uses Mini LEDs instead of just regular LEDs. Making it a much improved picture over the older models. It’s also brighter, without appearing washed out. Samsung has AI upscaling available here, thanks to the Neo Quantum Processor 4K. Which ensures that you always get full 4K resolution on your TV.

Samsung QN85A Neo QLED 4K TV
Available in: 55, 65, 75, 85-inchesPrice: Starting at $1499Buy: Samsung.com
This Neo QLED TV is actually slightly cheaper than the QN90A series, but it also doesn’t come in the smaller size. You still get to enjoy all the benefits of Neo QLED here though, which is nice. The Neo Quantum Processor 4K will upscale non-4K content to 4K resolution. So you can really take full advantage of this impressive looking display. Like the rest of the Samsung TVs on this list, this does also have all of your favorite apps available. Like YouTube, HBO MAX, Netflix, Hulu and much more. Samsung QN85A Neo QLED 4K TV - Samsung.com
Samsung Frame QLED TV
Available in: 32, 43, 50, 55, 65, 75-inchesPrice: Starting at $599Buy: Samsung.com
This is a rather unique QLED TV. This is what Samsung calls “The Frame”. Basically, the bezels are the same width on all four sides, and you can use this as a picture frame when you’re not watching TV. And thanks to QLED offering realistic colors, it can really look like a painting. That is also why The Frame comes in much more sizes, and smaller sizes, like this 32-inch QLED TV. So it’s a great way to get a smaller TV, with a great looking panel. Samsung Frame QLED TV - Samsung.com
Samsung Sero QLED 4K TV
Available in: 43-inchesPrice: $1499Buy: Samsung.com
This is another odd TV from Samsung. The Sero was announced at CES 2020, and it’s what Samsung envisions as the future for TV. Basically, the TV can rotate to landscape or portrait orientation. Allowing you to watch vertical videos on your TV. That also explains why it comes in just one size. But this is still a QLED TV, running on Tizen. So all of your favorite apps are available on this one too. But it will take up more space than you probably expected it too. Since it needs to be able to rotate. Samsung Sero - Samsung.com
Samsung Q70T QLED 4K TV
Available in: 55, 65, 75, 82, 85-inchesPrice: Starting at $899Buy: Samsung.com
This is one of the higher-end QLED TVs from the 2020 release cycle. So it’s not a Neo QLED TV, and that means it is using LED instead of Mini LED for the backlight. So it’s not quite as bright, but you won’t be disappointed with this. Especially since you can get it for under $1000. Samsung Q70T QLED 4K TV - Samsung.com
