Top 3 picks

TCL QM752G QD-Mini LED
Why we picked this
Best Overall: This is the strongest all-round choice under the budget because it steps up to Mini-LED backlighting for better contrast and brighter HDR than the cheaper QLED model. It keeps the same easy Google TV experience, but offers a more premium picture without pushing into the higher-priced tier.
