These are the best TVs in three sizes

If you want to buy one of the best televisions, you have to shell out over 1000 euros or much more. But devices that have been found to be good by Stiftung Warentest are available for around 500 euros.

There are currently no revolutionary innovations in televisions, which is good news for buyers. Because the technology is mature, you can find numerous good devices, as the updated Stiftung Warentest database shows. There are now a total of 103 televisions in the list that have received at least a quality rating of 2.5. The test winners usually cost 1000 euros or much more, but retailers also offer price hits starting at around 500 euros. Even in the premier class you don't have to spend more than 650 euros for a good television.

Small TVs

The range of small TV sets with screen diagonals of up to 43 inches is not particularly large, which is why there are only nine good and still available sets in the product test list. The lonely peak here is LG OLED42C37LAwhich achieved a quality rating of 1.8 with a very good picture, good sound and good handling.
