    LG C4 OLEDnew5 pts

  6. 6

    Best-in-class video processing, the most natural motion and upscaling, and reference-grade out-of-box accuracy make it the cinephile's choice; excellent Google TV integration and Acoustic Surface audio.

    To rank higher Drop the price and add a third/fourth HDMI 2.1 port — it's costly for this bracket and short on full-bandwidth inputs for gamers.
