The 6 Best OLED TVs (2025)

Panasonic’s Z95A (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a fantastic home theater experience in all aspects, something you can't say about most rivals. Powered by the same MLA panel found in the LG G4, it provides searing OLED brightness that’s skillfully controlled, and fantastic color shading for hues as naturalistic as they are entrancing.

Panasonic didn't end there, adding the best onboard sound system of any TV we've tested, including surprisingly spacious Dolby Atmos. Like Sony TVs, the Z95A is short on HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming, and its Fire TV smart TV system is just OK. Its screen size is also limited to 55- and 65-inches. The TV's sweet sound and extras like a swiveling pedestal stand and support for all major HDR flavors (a rarity) make up for those drawbacks, especially now that it's often on sale for a hefty discount.

The Samsung S95D (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is unlike any other TV on this list due to its matte-like screen designed to diffuse and defray even direct lighting for enhanced glare reduction. It’s a cool innovation, especially for those with difficult rooms, but it takes something away from the perceived depth and richness of the TV’s black levels in some settings. Samsung went big on matte screens for its 2025 lineup (testing coming soon), aiming to limit this effect while maximizing glare resistance.

The S95D remains a killer TV for the right buyer. Along with excellent glare resistance, you’re getting one of the most powerful OLED displays in the current marketplace, matching potent brightness with impactful contrast, richly saturated colors, and vivid 4K detail. The TV takes a final hit for its lack of Dolby Vision support, but for those with an ultra-bright room, the S95D lets you have your OLED and see it too. Bye-bye, backlit TVs.
