Best TV for Super Bowl 2024: Screens to Upgrade Your Game

The Super Bowl is almost here. Although we don’t yet know who will be in the final, the match-up for the NFL title will take place on Feb. 11. The game will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. If the rest of the playoffs were any indication, this matchup looks like it could be an all-time classic. 

A game this exciting should have a TV that’s up to the task. Here are the best TVs we’ve reviewed for football and other sports and they also happen to be the best TVs we’ve reviewed. Unless otherwise noted, we’re linking to the 65-inch model, but most of them are available in smaller and larger (up to 85-inch) sizes as well.

The TCL QM851 on a stand.

David Katzmaier/CNET

TCL has topped our list of the best TVs for the last few years but the QM8 is something different, and even better than before. In my comparison tests it stood out with superior brightness and impact while still maintaining excellent contrast — a combination no other TV could match at this price. The key is mini-LED tech and well-implemented full-array local dimming. It also has a sleek design with a center-mount stand. The operating system is Google TV, which I don’t like as much as Roku TV, but it’s still a solid smart TV. This model replaces the TCL 6-Series Roku TV from last year.

The main downside of the TCL QM8 is that it’s only available in large sizes (65 inches and up). If you’re looking for a 55-inch TV, I recommend the Hisense U8K instead. Note that prices shown here are for the 65-inch size in the QM8 series.

LG C2 OLED TV in a bright room on a wooden TV stand

David Katzmaier/CNET

Like

  • Like:
  • Better picture quality than any non-OLED TV we’ve tested
  • Superior contrast and off-angle image
  • Best-in-class gaming features
  • Sleek styling with ultralight, thin panel

Don’t like

  • Don’t Like:
  • Expensive
  • Not as bright as higher-end OLED TVs
  • No major improvements over the C2 from 2022

The C3 represents better picture quality than any non-OLED TV on this list at a price that’s definitely higher, but still not stratospheric. Its perfect black levels, unbeatable contrast and superb off-angle viewing kept it a notch above the mini-LED models in my comparison tests, and while its overall brightness isn’t quite as impressive, it’s still an incredible performer in all kinds of room lighting. The C3 is also one of the lightest TVs we’ve ever reviewed thanks to its carbon-fiber construction; the 65-inch version weighs just 37 pounds with its stand.

The prices shown here are for the 65-inch size of the LG C3 series.

TCL 4 Series Roku TV on a stand

The picture quality of the TCL 4-Series Roku TV was a step behind the Vizio V-Series in our budget TV test, but the differences between the two are slight enough that you’d really have to have them set up side by side to notice anything at all. The 4-Series lacks Dolby Vision, Bluetooth connectivity and AMD FreeSync with a variable refresh rate, all of which the Vizio offers.

Looking for a high-end TV with spectacular image quality, but don’t want an OLED? The Samsung QN90B is your best bet. This TV uses QLED TV tech augmented by mini-LED for a brighter image than any OLED TV. The spectacular contrast of OLED still won out in our side-by-side tests, but the QN90B QLED screen comes closer than ever. 

Samsung produces a number of QLED TVs, but the QN90B is among the highest end, aside from versions with 8K resolution. This is a 2022 model, but the newer version — the QN90C — looks very similar in terms of features and while we haven’t reviewed it, we expect it to deliver similar image quality.

The prices shown below are for the 65-inch size.

Roku TV

Competition among TVs in the middle pricing band is heating up, and the Plus Series is the latest entrant. Unlike the TCL Roku TVs higher on this list, this one is all Roku, with no other brands on board. It adds a couple of step-up extras, including QLED and full-array local dimming, which help deliver a better picture than the TCL 4-Series, for example. It’s not as impressive as the Vizio MQX, since it lacks 120Hz for gaming and has worse picture quality overall. If you value those extras, then the Vizio is worth saving for, but if not the Roku Plus Series is a very good value.

This is the first TV Roku has produced under its own brand, as opposed to partnering with a brand like TCL, Sharp, Pioneer or Hisense. The company also released a version with fewer features and no local dimming, called the Roku Select Series.

The price shown below is for the 65-inch size.

When we compared the best budget TVs side-by-side, the picture quality of Vizio’s V-Series clearly emerged as the leader of the pack. The Vizio offered the most balanced and accurate picture during our comparisons, and it comes with some useful extras such as Dolby Vision support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth compatibility and a variable refresh rate for potentially smoother gaming. The biggest downside of the Vizio is its smart TV platform, Vizio SmartCast. It’s crowded, slow and littered with ads for platforms such as Tubi and Kidoodle TV. Even when you factor in the cost of adding a new streaming device, the V-Series remains the best overall entry-level TV that we tested. 

The prices shown below are for the 50-inch size.
