The best gear to upgrade your home theater setup

The LG C5 is a great option if you're looking to get a high-end set. Its superb OLED panel produces the kind of deep contrast, super low input lag, clear motion and wide viewing angles expected from a good OLED TV. While it doesn’t have a QD-OLED screen like the Samsung S90F — and thus can’t produce the same level of vibrant colors — reviewers we trust say that it can actually get brighter with non-HDR content and that its black tones stay darker in a bright room.

This TV includes four full HDMI 2.1 ports, all of which can play 4K video at a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz, and it works with the big three VRR formats. It also supports ALLM and, unlike all Samsung TVs, Dolby Vision HDR. The latter is a nice bonus for Xbox players in particular. LG’s webOS software will show you ads, meanwhile, but it also includes built-in support for cloud services like Xbox Game Pass and NVIDIA GeForce Now. — J.D.
