Best HDTVs overall

We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best. It collects our currently most highly recommended models arranged in order of overall score, regardless of type, technology, brand, or size. These cumulative ratings indicate which TVs scored highest considering the major areas we rate: design, features, and performance. We don't expect this list to be enough for everyone, however, so we've also created supplemental lists broken down by technology type, screen size, and picture quality (Best 5). Choose from the lists to the left according to which criteria matter most to you.

On the lists that aren't based on size, the prices represent just one size in the series. Click through to the "Series information" section of the reviews to see other sizes.
