2.28 -> so did 2022 go like super fast for
anyone else out there hard to believe
11.04 -> the year is coming to a close and that
means we're about to start hearing all
14.88 -> about the new tech coming in 2023 but the
year isn't over yet and 2022 TVs are the
21.42 -> ones to buy for several months so
let's go down a list of the best
30.3 -> welcome back everyone I'm Caleb Denison and yeah
even though it happens every year somehow I'm
35.58 -> still surprised we're coming to the end of one
year and staring down the next one I'm getting
39.48 -> emails about CEs right now and I'll be learning
all about the new TVs for 2023 which I'm super
44.94 -> excited to share with you but before we get
too excited about the new stuff which won't
49.68 -> be coming out for another five or six months at
the earliest let's talk about the best TVs of
55.02 -> 2022. now personally I think it was a great year
for TVs and now that we're finally seeing prices
60.54 -> come down with a bunch of big sales on the horizon
I think this is the best time to look at the best
66.06 -> there is to buy hopefully that will help you make
a purchase decision if you're itching to pull the
71.04 -> trigger on new TV but before we get into it I just
wanted to put a heartfelt thank you out there to
76.92 -> everyone who supported us over the past few months
as we've taken a look at some of the best home
81.96 -> entertainment Tech you can buy it's been a lot of
fun and you all keep me motivated to constantly up
88.08 -> my game and make the best content I can thank you
so much for the continued support thanks for all
94.2 -> the likes thanks for all the new subscribers and
thank you for the comments I love chatting with
99.3 -> you guys whenever I can even though it can be hard
at times because we spend so much effort on making
104.46 -> this content but you're absolutely worth it okay
I'll stop gushing down let's talk about some TVs
114.9 -> now real quickly just a reminder that because
we don't get Panasonic and Philips TVs here in
120.96 -> the US they aren't on my list both those Brands
make some Stellar TVs and absolutely deserve a
126.48 -> spot on best of lists I just want to acknowledge
that but because I can't get them here don't get
131.94 -> any quality time with them throughout the year
and because you can't buy them here in the US
135.9 -> they just aren't eligible for this list so with
that said I'm going to start with a TV that I
142.44 -> mean I should have known that it would be good
given this model's history and yet I was still
147.42 -> surprised I'm talking about the Hisense u7h the
u7h in the U.S doesn't have a mini LED backlight
154.62 -> system like the more expensive u8h so I guess
I went into it expecting that it would either
160.26 -> be super bright at the expense of black levels
and blooming control or that it might sacrifice
165.66 -> some brightness to maintain good black levels and
blooming control yet somehow the u7h managed to
172.02 -> impress me on both fronts it's still hot hard for
me to wrap my head around the fact that you can
177.24 -> get performance this good at such a low price now
I need to point out that I'm referring to the u7h
183.54 -> as it sold in North America and just in North
America outside the US the u7h is a completely
189.66 -> different TV and I'm really sorry but I'm not
familiar enough with hisense's models marketed
194.28 -> outside the U.S that I can run down a list of
equivalents in other markets but here in the
199.98 -> U.S the u7h is easily one of the best values
in TV I personally got remarkably good color
206.46 -> accuracy in its theater picture modes though I
understand that wasn't the case for everyone who
211.26 -> reviewed this TV and along with its relatively
High brightness and solid black levels this is a
216.54 -> TV that will really impress almost anyone who's
looking to upgrade from a TV they bought even
222.06 -> just a few years back it's capable of solid HDR
performance which is hard to find at this price
227.64 -> point honestly sure its motion isn't as smooth
as more expensive TVs sometimes I wonder about
233.04 -> consistency like is the one you get going to be
as good as the one I got I can't speak to that
239.22 -> but what I do know is that this TV is capable of
great things and it's absolutely worth checking
245.04 -> out it's got a great Suite of features for gamers
it works great for everyday viewing and even movie
250.62 -> lovers will be impressed having it on this list
was kind of a no-brainer for me and since we're
256.44 -> talking about Hisense let's keep going and talk
about the Hisense u8h basically take everything
262.26 -> I said about the u7h just now and Ratchet it up
several notches across the board the u8h does have
269.16 -> a mini LED backlight even higher Peak brightness
in fact it is brighter than some TVs that cost
274.86 -> twice as much or more it's got impressive black
levels and contrast good blooming control and even
280.92 -> though it wasn't as color accurate for me out of
the box it was still more than acceptable for most
286.14 -> folks remember when I talk about color accuracy
I'm talking about the same standards I apply to
291.36 -> TVs that cost two to three times what this TV
costs again I think motion resolution is one of
297.24 -> the areas that could be improved if I'm looking
for areas to complain about but most folks will
301.74 -> be over the moon with the picture quality on this
TV it's astounding what you can get for the price
307.26 -> next up is a TV model that has made the best of
lists for what four or five years now I'm talking
313.56 -> about the TCL 6 series specifically the r655 now
a big reason that TCL is the number two selling
321.06 -> brand in the U.S second only to Samsung by the way
is the legacy of the 6 Series this is the model
326.88 -> that shocked everyone a few years back and TCL has
been great about upping its game year after year
332.76 -> the 6 series doesn't get quite as bright as the
Hisense uh but what it lacks in sheer muscle it
338.88 -> makes up for in Grace it's just a more refined
picture with slightly better motion resolution
344.16 -> slightly better upscaling and cleaning up of low
quality content and very solid color performance
349.92 -> out of the box it's also a great TV for gaming in
fact it can punch up to 144 Hertz refresh rate in
357.24 -> some scenarios perhaps its only downside is that
it runs on the Roku platform now if you don't
362.94 -> like Roku well the TV is built on it though that's
easy enough to get around you can always use the
368.52 -> streamer of your choice but if you like Roku or
are at least good with Roku then you'll love this
374.76 -> TV it's another super high value TV that makes the
decision to spend more kind of difficult because
381.66 -> it pretty much spells out the point of diminishing
returns for most folks the tcl6 series is one of
388.08 -> the smartest buys you can make now before I
move forward I also wanted to mention the TCL
392.4 -> 5 series which like the Hisense u7h is a less
expensive less prodigiously outfitted TV that
399.48 -> should offer very compelling performance I've just
not had a chance to review the latest s546 version
405.6 -> I have it here though so you'll be seeing that
review soon enough might have made the list had
410.46 -> I gotten it sooner I don't know I will know soon
enough okay so which TV should I talk about next
417.06 -> you know let's talk about the Sony x95k now I I
struggled with this whether I should talk about
422.94 -> the x 90k or the more expensive x95k and I ended
up choosing the x95k for a couple of reasons one
431.88 -> I actually reviewed it this year but also I
feel like if you're gonna spend extra money
436.98 -> on a Sony TV then you might as well just go for
it and while the less expensive X 90k might make
443.28 -> more sense for more people we're here to talk
about the best TVs and I feel like the x95k is
449.7 -> just a smarter investment if you're gonna go
with a Sony LED LCD TV the x95k has mini LED
456.3 -> backlighting excellent brightness above average
black levels and backlight control and of course
461.4 -> Sony's processing which is really key to the
amazing picture quality you get on this TV it's
467.22 -> also got a few features for PlayStation 5 owners
that you can't get on a non-sony TV speaking of
473.58 -> check out our best gaming TVs video if you haven't
already at any rate when we look at some of the
478.38 -> competing LED LCD TVs out there in the premium
tier we've seen a lot of inconsistency right
485.4 -> multiple firmware updates changing performance
Behavior inconsistent panel quality that kind of
491.04 -> thing but when we talk about paying the so-called
Sony tax and what that actually gets you I think
496.56 -> what it buys you is consistency and quality and
peace of mind Sony TVs at least in my experience
502.92 -> are the most consistent and more reliable on
balance than other brands and besides all that
508.56 -> the x95k is just a gorgeous set I like the X90 K2
and it deserves to mention so there it is but I've
516.36 -> got to keep this list tight right also this isn't
the last we've heard from Sony on this list next
521.64 -> let's talk a little bit about Samsung Samsung
lands two TVs on this list so let's talk about
527.46 -> those this year I really like the qn 90b and
the s95b now the qm90b was supposed to be the
535.5 -> best 4K LED LCD TV you could buy from Samsung
this year and then folks in the US complained
541.38 -> enough about the fact that European and UK markets
were getting the qn 95b which had Samsung's one
548.58 -> connect box so Samsung decided to bring the more
expensive only marginally better qn 95b to the US
555.06 -> I however picked the qn 90b here because it is the
one I think most folks will want to buy and it's
562.38 -> just an outstanding TV on its own right it's got
four HDMI 2.1 inputs a huge Suite of features that
568.62 -> makes it play nicely with other Samsung products
like Samsung Sound Bars it's got killer brightness
573.72 -> contrast and color the processing is super solid
and it's got the best anti-glare and off angle
580.5 -> performance I've ever seen in an LED LCD TV if you
don't get the Sony x95k then you should probably
587.52 -> be looking at getting the Samsung qn 90b it's
just that good now as for the Samsung s95b I mean
595.02 -> what can I say the fact that you can get brand
new QD OLED panel technology and all the premium
600.84 -> performance that comes with that for around the
same price as competing OLED TVs that's just
607.2 -> that's awesome but also the s95b looks fantastic
now some folks have complained that the build
613.86 -> quality is just not awesome but I just don't agree
with that yes it is super thin up top and if it
621.12 -> gets beat up in shipping that could cause more
of an issue with it than some other TVs but I
626.94 -> don't see damaged s95btvs running rampant right
now certainly not enough to Warrant anyone off
633.18 -> of buying this TV no way like if you can afford
it and you only need a 55 or 65 inch set get it
640.56 -> it is outstanding one of the three best TVs you
can buy this year and also the source of a lot
645.84 -> of frustration for me because it made Choosing My
favorite tv of the year really really hard next up
651.66 -> is a TV that I'm going to call the total package
this is a premium TV that is going to exceed most
657.72 -> expectations meet or exceed most people's needs
it's just the most well-rounded premium TV you
663.66 -> can buy this year in terms of performance and size
options and price and gaming features it is the LG
671.46 -> C2 OLED it's just all there in fact I'm not sure
what else there is to say I mean the LG G2 is also
679.14 -> a stellar TV technically it can get just a tiny
bit brighter and it's got a Slicker design but I
684.84 -> think the LG C2 is the smarter buy between the two
unless of course you need a 97 inch OLED in which
690.84 -> case Mr or Mrs money bags please help yourself to
the 97 inch G2 honestly I feel like I could go on
698.16 -> and on because the C2 is one of my favorite TVs
this year or even ever but like the C2 speaks for
704.7 -> itself oh and by the way in my opinion it is the
number one gaming TV you can buy as well and since
710.82 -> we're talking about LG I have to give a shout out
to the LG Z2 OLED what an absolutely insane TV
718.56 -> this is I mean it's extremely expensive but it's
also extremely awesome I don't think most of you
724.56 -> watching this video will ever buy one but honestly
I felt like if I was gonna put an 8K TV on this
730.62 -> list it would have to be the Z2 there are other
great 8K TVs out there and they are also awesome
735.72 -> but I don't know maybe it's just the way 2022 has
me feeling but I really felt like the 4K TVs this
741.96 -> year were so good that I didn't want or need
to spend a bunch of time going on about 8K TVs
747.54 -> maybe 2023 will have me feeling different we'll
see anyway moving on to my favorite TV of the
753.78 -> year and I can't stress that enough that's exactly
what this is my personal favorite the TV I would
759.72 -> not hesitate to take home with me after the first
date the TV that had my heart at the word hello
764.04 -> this is the one I love and the one that just does
it for me you might not feel the same and that's
769.62 -> okay but I am all about the Sony a95k I never
get tired of of turning this TV on and watching
777 -> it it's like a first kiss every time exciting
and enthralling and I always just want more the
783.3 -> color the brightness the contrast the motion
the little Artistic integrity decisions made
788.52 -> at the processing level like it is a video nerds
dream TV and well if it's not already obvious I
795.12 -> am a video nerd I'm a knit nerd I like accuracy
I like replicating a Creator's intent I like the
801 -> idea that what I'm seeing at home is super close
to what the folks who master and grade movies in
806.52 -> Hollywood see also it sounds great it looks great
like I said it just does it for me I love the
813.54 -> picture quality and just about everything else
about this TV I think it's a bit too expensive
819 -> and I wish it were more accessible to more people
that's really my only complaint anyway when people
825.54 -> ask me and this happens all the time when people
ask me what's the best TV out there right now
831.84 -> well a lot of things go through my mind but my
answer to that question will only come after
836.4 -> I've asked a series of qualifying questions once I
understand a person's needs and desires only then
842.46 -> can I tell them what the best TV for them might
be but if you ask me what my favorite TV of the
848.58 -> year is I won't hesitate to say it's the Sony
a95k thanks as always for watching everyone I
854.28 -> hope you enjoyed my picks if you've got a favorite
TV tell me about it down in the comments please
859.02 -> consider slapping this video with a like if you
enjoyed it subscribe and ring that Bell to see
862.86 -> more I'll see you on the next one and until then
here's two other videos I think you might like
