The best TVs have taken big leaps over the last few years , in everything from brightness to gaming features to how good smart TV software is.

TechRadar 's TV expert offers a cheat sheet on how to buy smart in the Black Friday deals this year .

The last four years have been so huge for screen-tech improvements that I can basically group anything from 2020 or before into one big pot.

High-end OLEDs such as the Samsung S95D and LG G4 can roughly double the maximum brightness peak brightness of those old OLEDs.

Advanced mini-LED systems are so good now that some early OLED buyers who got them for the cinematic contrast may want to consider switching to them.

The Sony Bravia 9 is very expensive, but it's amazing at contrast handling.

Hisense U8N, TCL QM851G , Samsung QN90D, and Sony Bravia 9 stand out based on our testing as likely to feel like they deliver the best chance of a clear image-quality upgrade.

Mini-LED has become a lot more affordable compared to a couple of years ago .
