Display size (in)
While many CHOICE members have reminded us that we are living in a metric world, this information hasn't reached the TV companies who continue to show their products in inches rather than centimetres. Our TV comparison table provides screen measurements in both so you can decide which figure is more suitable.

Display type
In our latest test, the screens are either LCD or OLED. An LCD (liquid-crystal display) screen needs a light source behind it. OLED or Organic Light Emitting Diode TVs are an array of diodes that deliver both the colour information as well as the illumination.
Best TVs for sport
Sport broadcasting demands a lot from a TV's processor to deliver as clean a picture as possible for fast moving objects. We look at how well the TV deals with standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) broadcasts where we look at the players, ball movement and whether the crowd appear as individuals or large blobs. The top 75-inch TV as well as the top performers in the 65-inch, 55-inch and small TV categories were selected.
Voice recognition
Smart TVs now essentially conduct searches and process commands using your voice with trigger words such as 'OK Google' or 'Alexa' telling the TV that it should act on your commands.
High definition picture quality score
Picture quality is one of the major components of our TV test and includes both a technical and subjective assessment of how well the TV can handle a number of different source materials. Online streaming routinely delivers HD-quality video and most of the free-to-air stations now broadcast HD content on their main channel. HD accounts for 30% of the overall score.

4K video picture quality score
Picture quality is one of the major components of our TV test and includes both a technical and subjective assessment of how well the TV can handle a number of different source materials. Online streaming now delivers 4K-quality video and we look at 4K content to see which TVs deliver the best overall picture. The 4K assessment accounts for 5% of the overall score.

EPG score
EPG refers to the electronic program guide. This accounts for 5% of the overall score.
enter value/s in increments of i between 20 and 100
Sound quality score
The tester plays a number of high quality voice and music recordings on a DVD player connected to the TV and compares it to a reference system. The assessment is made at a volume that the tester feels is sufficient for listening in a normal room and also at the TV's maximum volume (assuming the latter is louder). Sound quality accounts for 5% of the overall score.

Shop Ethical rating
Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. N/A means there is no rating for that company.
Energy star rating
As claimed by the manufacturer. The higher the number, the more energy-efficient the TV.
enter value/s in increments of i between 1 and 7
Reliability score
A high score means the TV brand (not the model) is less likely to have faults over time, according to CHOICE members.
enter value/s in increments of i between 70 and 93
Satisfaction score
A high score means CHOICE members are satisfied with the brand (not the model).
enter value/s in increments of i between 72 and 89
Country of origin
Where the TV was manufactured, though parts may have been sourced from other places.
Netflix key on the remote
Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services and most have a dedicated button on the remote making it easy to access.
Records to USB
Some TVs allow the user to add an external USB drive to the TV to record live TV and also 'pause' a show you are watching live.
Speech emphasiser
This feature alters the audio output to enhance the speech effect.
HDMI inputs
This figure notes the number of HDMI inputs for your TV.
Availability
A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.
A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.
These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.
An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
