    Why did the graphic make possessive the “TV’S”?



  2. Iamsteezze on February 12, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    A huge editorial tech site like CNET can’t tell the difference between TVs and TV’s



  3. bannajirocks on February 12, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    LG c1. Using it on my PS5. It’s mind blowing



  4. Rudy Z. on February 12, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    Either Samsung, and/or LG tvs are the best.



  5. John Latham on February 12, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Did CNET not test any Sony OLEDs? The A80J and A90J definitely have a better overall picture out of the box in my opinion (and many other’s). Go walk into a Best Buy and see for yourself. The A80J is a little more expensive than a C1 but not by much… LG is great too don’t get me wrong, but not even mentioning Sony for best picture quality? LG has legitimate competition out there worth mentioning. Just saying



  6. VEGANSAM on February 12, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Brian, why isn’t Sony ever considered in the OLED TVs?



  7. Danny V on February 12, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    I highly recommend the Sony A80J for any Non Gamer and Android User. This TV also includes Next Gen 3.0 internal Digital Tuner that accesses all available and upcoming Digital over the to air Broadcast channels without an antenna. The live tv tab automatically intergrates Live Tv but also Intergrates Pluto Tv (Now with over 300 Free Channels) but also Intergrates other Live Tv streaming services (in my case SlingTV ) .

    Under 600 whsts the best i can get



  9. Home TV on February 12, 2022 at 11:37 pm

    I have personally tested in many stores, Sony’s (a80j/a90j) picture quality is way better than LG



  10. David Jamgochian on February 12, 2022 at 11:38 pm

    I wanna my TV



  11. Q Graham on February 12, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    The LG C series has been a game changer for the past 5 years i’d say



  12. VEGANSAM on February 12, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    Justin, with ALL due respect, I can’t concentrate on anything you have to say…until you need to trim your moustache on the rogue side…
    Thank you…



  13. SlobberChops on February 12, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    This is the worst “best TV” video of all time LOL



  14. Janchi on February 12, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    LG Fanboys spotted… LOL………. Sony has the best picture quality this year 2021… LG is really good, but Sony is better prooven by so many reviews and they won BEST TV 2021….



  15. Robert Grimm on February 12, 2022 at 11:43 pm

    I hate Roku! I bought a $30 one for my daughter and it never worked. Would never connect ever when everything else connected, google tv, Apple tv, just about everything else worked where Roku never would. I will never buy any product that has Roku on or in it ever. Sorry guys pick another tv because the budget-friendly TV you guys recommend with the Roku I’ll never buy.



  16. Morteza Delgir on February 12, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    Stupid format (interview) for this kind of content.



  17. Mr. Sin on February 12, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    I bought the LG C1. No ragrets



  18. Lander boy on February 12, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    Will someone talk about burn in oled! Lol even my phone has a burn marks



  19. Steven Hocking on February 12, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    The best remote is Sony oled remotes. Keep it simple, with premium materials and elegant design. Remotes should be kept simple, not like lg’s nitendo wii style wand remote which is just inconvenient and hard to use, and samsung’s minimalistic remotes are the worst cos there’s no numbers and many other important buttons are missing which is just abysmal, very inconvenient and hard to use. Well done Sony!



  20. Unknown prx on February 12, 2022 at 11:48 pm

    Oled tvs are not good for eyes



  21. Joseph Smith on February 12, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    “The Best TVs of 2021” but mainly name dropped one 😭😭🤦🏽‍♂️



  22. Jason Reuter on February 12, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    Love my Vizio going on 10 years now.



  23. sam Love on February 12, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    nothing beats Sony still



  24. Jason T. Brown on February 12, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    What about the hisense u8g tv?
    What do you think about that ine.
    It seems like hisense is stepping up with their television sets



  25. Falconsfan71 on February 12, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Is “Burn in” a concern with the LG C1? I do a lot of roster editing and custom draft classes for Madden on PS5 so I have a still screen a lot. I think it has ruined my Vizio.



  26. CriticalFreeThinker on February 12, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    So the best picture yet you didn’t bring up the Philips oled 936? It’s miles better than the c1 in picture quality and sound and is crazy money but it’s still the better picture…. Seems a bit dodgy to me. C1 is a great tv and I will be buying the 65 C1 so there’s no bias at all. Can’t justify 3k on the 936 when I can get the c1 which is half the price nearly and works great for ps5 and XSX. C1 is the best overall tv right now but let’s not lie, it isn’t the BEST picture at all.



  27. Qwerty1 on February 12, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Everyone loves the C1, G1 is heat though and CX for last year was pretty cool too.



  28. Zedd on February 12, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    Ok basically TV of the year is LG OLED 😒, that’s sums up this vid folks 😂😅.



  29. Rax K on February 12, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Nope! A90J is the best tv at the moment! C1 doesn’t even come close I’m afraid, test for yourselves. This vid is not providing the facts!



  30. rich Williams on February 12, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    What is this massive love affair for roku? I find Amazon fire tv platform pretty good as it auto installed IMDb tv on it and recommended person of interest to me which I haven’t been able to find on any uk tv channel or streaming service for free. I like how it does recommend shows etc. I find it have a tendency to want its own platforms for search or recommendations and it’s not the cleanest interface however I’m growing more fond of fire tv. Iv used roku and didn’t find it that great tbh.



  31. Brad Powell on February 12, 2022 at 11:59 pm

    C1 is a great set and the A80J is arguably better especially if gaming isn’t a priority.



  32. S D on February 13, 2022 at 12:00 am

    Look look rebranding isnt going to solve the core issue some how we need to deliver



  33. 💜 PuggieOnMobile 💜 on February 13, 2022 at 12:00 am

    Thank you auntieeee



  34. Enigma The Gray Man on February 13, 2022 at 12:02 am

    Sony A90J



  35. sombathado on February 13, 2022 at 12:02 am

    A90j be like : am i a joke to u ?



  36. Dannyboy1312 on February 13, 2022 at 12:03 am

    Hi, I want a recommendation for my next LED 55” tv on a budget. So no OLED or Samsung Q90A. I will use for mainly gaming with Xbox series X and also for Ultra HD streaming. Which one would you recommend TCL R646, U7G, U8G?



  37. Venka Dx on February 13, 2022 at 12:05 am

    Better to rename it to Lg C1 mini review



  38. Lhakpa Bekhim on February 13, 2022 at 12:05 am

    Sony X90j the best tv of 2021.



  39. David Cole on February 13, 2022 at 12:06 am

    For Budget TV they should have looked at Hisense U6G. Better Picture Quality and has Android TV. ROKU is a locked Down OS

    75in QN90A Luv it & TCL is 🚮



  42. Marcus Duff on February 13, 2022 at 12:13 am

    How does the C1 sound native without a sound bar/system?



  43. KD9 on February 13, 2022 at 12:15 am

    Well, this guy only picks oleds, so if you’ve got a bright room you’re screwed, whatever.



  44. Blues guitar tips/lessons on February 13, 2022 at 12:16 am

    It would be helpful if you could address which TV does the best job at deflecting glare for those of us who watch in rooms that get a lot of light/ have lots of windows



  45. Robert Grimm on February 13, 2022 at 12:16 am

    Why is everyone recommending OLED TVs? I find them lacking in brightness and almost dark and dull as they don’t feel as alive as leds. Plus I’d worry about burn in all the time and longevity of the tv doesn’t seem to be as long as other tvs.



  46. David Cole on February 13, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Picked up Sony A80J 65" OLED and it has one of the best Pictures Qualities you can get. If you are Gamer Look at LG C1



  47. baron eleve on February 13, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Love to say I’m a proud owner of an LG c1 65" and a Series X🤣



  48. arpan roy on February 13, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Where is sony x90j?



  49. Cruzan9 on February 13, 2022 at 12:19 am

    LG C1 is less expensive than Sony A90J from what I’ve seen. For that reason alone I decided on the LG. I will be getting it in a few weeks.



  50. daveinstlouis on February 13, 2022 at 12:19 am

    How about reliability? Is one brand better overall than another? Are these TV’s going to last 5 …10 years without breaking down? Not everyone can afford a new TV every couple years.
