Hi everybody, Carl here from Abt and if you’re in the market for a new TV,
you’re gonna want to stick around because in this video, I’m gonna give you our top
5 TV picks for 2022. We’ve been fortunate to see some great models come in this year,
but these 5 are the ones that really stuck out.
Starting off we’ve got one of the most highly anticipated TVs in recent memory,
the Sony A95K series, Sony’s first foray into QD OLED. As far as picture quality goes, this one
pretty much sets the standard. Using that QD OLED technology not only do you get incredibly accurate
colors and the deepest possible black levels, but it also addresses one of OLEDs only real flaws,
the brightness. Couple that with a well above average sound system and a huge catalog of
apps and you’ve got an amazing TV. There are a couple drawbacks though. One is the cost. It’s
not the most budget friendly model. But this one, like the rest of the TVs on this list,
do go on sale pretty frequently so make sure to check out our current pricing at
the links in the description. And two, it only comes in two sizes, 55 and 65 inches.
So if those aren’t the sizes you’re looking for, you’ll need to find a different model.
Which brings us to our next TV, the LG C2 series OLED. The LG C series always
finds its way onto top 5 lists and with good reason, it’s a great TV. For value,
it’s almost impossible to beat when you compare the cost to the picture quality. Because it’s an
OLED you get those deep blacks, vivid colors, and great motion handling. This is a TV that satisfies
a huge variety of viewers. Gamers, movie buffs and sports fans can all take advantage of what
the C2 offers. The only thing missing is the added brightness that the QD OLED models get.
Now, if you’re looking for a TV with almost all the picture quality of the TVs just mentioned but
an even brighter picture, we’ve got the Samsung QN90B series QLED TV. This series uses mini LEDs
to produce an incredibly bright picture with terrific control of the dimming zones which make
this an excellent choice for HDR content as well. In addition, if you’re a gamer with more than one
next gen console you’ll definitely appreciate its four HDMI 2.1 inputs. But just like the others on
this list, it’s not without its faults. It doesn’t support Dolby Vision for HDR. It uses HDR 10 Plus,
which still looks great, but isn’t as widely supported. And although the
viewing angles are very good for an LED TV, they aren’t as wide as you get with an OLED.
Next on the list is the Sony X90K series. This is a great combination of cost, picture quality,
and features. Since it uses regular LED lighting and not mini LEDs it’s almost
half the cost of the X95K series. But it’s still got a full array backlit panel so you
get fantastic detail in both bright and dark scenes. It’s also got 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs for
those next gen gaming features like 4k at 120 hertz and variable refresh rates, and a huge
catalog of apps to choose from in the google play store. However, just like with the A95K,
the available sizes are limited. These are only available in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches. Not a huge
deal, but if you’re looking for something smaller you’ll need to pick another model.
And the last TV to round out our top 5 is the Samsung Q60B series. Everyone loves a great deal,
and that’s what you get with the Q60B. It’s a terrific option for someone who just wants a
good quality TV to watch their movies, shows and sports. You’re still getting those deep,
rich colors that come with a QLED TV, but without the added cost of the bells and whistles that are
found on more expensive models. You get 3 HDMI inputs, an updated and improved operating system,
a huge variety of sizes ranging from 43 inches all the way up to 85 inches,
and a ridiculously thin profile that looks fantastic hanging on the wall,
if you choose to set it up that way. Of course, like the other TVs on the list,
there are a couple factors to keep in mind here. It’s only a 60 hertz panel so there’s a little
more motion blur on this one than the others on the list, and the HDMI inputs are 2 point 0 so
you don’t get those next gen gaming features. That being said, this is still gonna be a fine
TV for gaming on, especially if you have an older system like a PS4 or Xbox One X or S.
