#1 TCL QM8L
4.0

The ATSC 3.0 tuner and separate antenna guide make local channels convenient to browse alongside streaming content.

Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution

Cons: motion clarity, response time

#2 LG G6
3.8

Traditional TV functions include useful recording and time-shifting, but the US tuner remains ATSC 1.0 rather than the newer ATSC 3.0 standard.

Pros: panel type, display technology

Cons: account requirements, DTS support

#3 LG C6
2.0

Broadcast setup works, but US models lack ATSC 3.0, which limits access to newer over-the-air standards.

Pros: resolution, contrast ratio

Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements

#4 TCL QM7L
2.0

The lack of ATSC 3.0 is a notable drawback for antenna users who want NextGen TV broadcasts.

Pros: resolution, HDR format support

Cons: software updates, account requirements

#5 Amazon Ember QLED TV
1.0

One expert specifically criticizes the lack of ATSC 3.0/NextGen TV support. The TV still handles conventional antenna use, but the tuner is not future-facing.

Pros: local dimming performance, HDR format support

Cons: gradient handling, banding control
