#1 Hisense UR8SG
5.0

Rich scenery and skin tones often look convincingly natural once settings are tuned, even when color meters reveal deviations.

Cons: blooming control, dark-room performance

#2 Sony BRAVIA 3 II
5.0

Skin tones, greens and blues retain a believable balance without the artificial saturation common to more aggressive picture presets.

Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR performance, bass performance

#3 Hisense UR9SG
3.9

Some picture modes produce pleasingly natural tones, while others create washed-out colors or an artificial brightness balance.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: value for money, color accuracy

#4 Samsung R95H

Vivid colors can look lifelike and textured, but the effect is not always natural. Some faces, foliage and complex scenes look muted, cartoonish or less convincing than on rival OLEDs.

Pros: color volume, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, color accuracy

#5 Samsung U8000H
2.5

Colors can look unnatural, including an obvious yellow cast in certain scenes, even when the TV looks comparatively accurate beside cheaper competitors.

Pros: white balance accuracy, design and appearance

Cons: overall satisfaction, value for money
