This week, many popular TV brands debuted their latest offerings at the 2025 CES tradeshow. While the event was packed with stunning prototypes ranging from holographic displays to smart mirror screens, companies also revealed several new TVs that you'll actually be able to buy this year.

I've been covering home entertainment products for over a decade, and I've used that experience to select the most exciting consumer TV models from CES. Unlike a lot of the show's elaborate displays that are merely proof-of-concept innovations, these TVs are all set to hit retailers in 2025. This year's lineup is packed with new models that promise bigger, brighter, and smarter TVs than ever before. We're seeing sets as large as 136 inches, displays that can pump out 10,000 nits, and new AI features that could make search more convenient.

Pricing has yet to be announced in most cases, but I expect more details to trickle out in early March, when brands typically start rolling out their first batch of new displays.

TCL QM6K Mini LED 4K TV

TCL's QM6K is one of the most exciting displays revealed at CES, but its specifications are only part of the reason. Unlike every other TV announced at the show, the QM6K is already available to preorder and will ship before the end of the first quarter.

The QM6K is TCL's new entry-level Mini LED TV and it boasts an impressive set of features for an attractive price. The 65-inch model is listed for $1,000, and TCL is including a free Q75H Dolby Atmos soundbar when you preorder. The soundbar itself usually costs $599, so that's an excellent deal.

Though it's the least advanced TV on this list, the QM6K has the potential to offer the best value of the bunch. Last year's Q6 model didn't use Mini LEDs at all, so this new QM6 should provide a big upgrade in performance. TCL is also promising an improved backlight system with better local dimming and less blooming (halos around bright objects) than its prior Mini LED models. As a result, the QM6 has the potential to best the 2024 QM7, which is currently my favorite midrange model in our guide to the best TVs.

In addition to the 65-inch model, preorders are also available for the 75-inch model ($1,300) and 85-inch model ($2,000). Both include the free soundbar. The QM6K will also be available in 50-, 55-, and 98-inch screen sizes, but you can't preorder those just yet.

Samsung S95F OLED 4K TV

Samsung's S95F is the brand's latest flagship OLED display and it looks like it'll be a contender for one of the top high-end TVs of 2025. This model is the successor to last year's excellent S95D, which is one of the best OLED TVs available. The S95D turned heads in 2024 thanks to its highly effective anti-glare screen. With the S95F, Samsung promises an even lower reflection rate.

As detailed in my S95D TV review, I was impressed by that model's ability to combat reflections. Most TVs have glossy screens that create a mirror-like effect in rooms with lots of light and windows. This can be a headache when you watch TV during the day. But the S95D's matte screen was a game changer and greatly reduced this problem. However, its anti-reflective panel caused dark scenes to look a bit washed out and hazy in a bright room. I'm hoping the S95F's improved glare-free tech fixes that issue.

Samsung is also touting a brighter screen on the S95F, and that's a big statement since the 2024 S95D is still the brightest OLED there is. Measurements will have to wait until hands-on testing later this year, but based on rumblings about the S95F's new QD-OLED panel, I'm expecting it to hit at least 2,000 nits. That would be an impressive feat for an OLED and would make this an excellent set for people who like to watch HDR (high dynamic range) movies and shows.

On the software front, Samsung announced new "Vision AI" features that leverage AI to enhance search and video/audio optimizations. Vision AI includes the latest iterations of some picture and sound options that the company has already been offering for several years now, but there are a couple of new features. Most notably, there's a function that allows you to learn about the performers and products in the content you're watching, as well as a translation feature that can produce real-time subtitles. It remains to be seen whether these AI functions work well or are merely a gimmick, but I'm curious to test them out.

The S95F is set to launch sometime in the spring in 55-, 65-, 77-, and 83-inch sizes. However, the 83-inch model is expected to use a different kind of OLED panel, so its color performance is not likely to match that of smaller sizes.

Samsung Frame Pro QLED 4K TV

Samsung's Frame TV is a favorite among design-focused shoppers, but the display's actual picture performance has always taken a back seat to its style. With the new Frame Pro, however, Samsung is poised to offer a nice jump in image quality, with specs that come closer to matching the brand's high-end TVs.

Like previous Frame models, the Frame Pro will come with a flush wall mount, support interchangeable magnetic bezels, and use a matte screen that resembles canvas. These features work together to make the Frame Pro look like a painting on your wall when not in use as a TV.

But unlike standard Frame models, this new Pro version uses a Mini LED backlight. This should enable a brighter picture with higher contrast, two areas where previous Frame TVs have struggled. The Pro also supports up to a 144Hz refresh rate, which is a cool perk for gamers who crave the smoothest performance. In addition, Samsung includes a wireless connect box that can send video and audio signals from external devices to the TV without any cables running from the display.

In other words, the Frame Pro is set to be a TV that not only works as a design piece for your living room but also serves as a solid movie-watching and gaming display. The Frame Pro will launch later this year in 65-, 75-, and 85-inch screen sizes. Pricing has not been announced yet.

Panasonic Z95B OLED 4K TV

In 2024, Panasonic made its long-awaited return to the US TV market. In 2025, it's expanding its lineup further with a new type of OLED that could give the competition a run for its money.

The brand's flagship Z95B will be its first display to use a Primary RGB Tandem OLED Panel. That's a lot of tech jargon, but it's an exciting development for fans of high-end image quality. Without getting too into the weeds, this type of OLED screen optimizes how the panel produces color and light, enabling a brighter picture and a wider range of colors. And it does all that while maintaining the infinite contrast ratio that OLED TVs are celebrated for.

Rival brands like Samsung and Sony have been relying on quantum dots to achieve similar gains in OLED performance. The Z95B's technology has the potential to yield comparable results in some aspects and even potentially better performance in others, so I can't wait for our team to put it to the test. Though not confirmed, LG's new flagship G5 OLED looks like it uses a similar (if not the same) panel, so it's set to be a strong competitor as well.

Panasonic's Z95B OLED will launch later this year in 55-, 65-, and 77-inch screen sizes. Pricing and an exact release state are still pending.

Hisense 116-inch TriChroma LED TV (116UX)

Brands are pushing bigger and brighter TVs every year, and Hisense's new 116-inch TriChroma display is the perfect example. This giant set is even bigger than Hisense's 110-inch Mini LED TV released last year, and it uses new local dimming technology to offer a step up in overall image quality.

This technology is called RGB local dimming. Rather than use a white or blue backlight with color filters, it uses red, blue, and green LEDs that produce colors from the light source itself. The benefit is a wider and purer range of colors, a brighter image, and more precise dimming to create higher contrast. Hisense says the TV can hit a peak of 10,000 nits. That's overkill for most use cases but an impressive achievement nonetheless.

The 116UX will be available sometime in 2025, and it's sure to carry a high price tag. The 110-inch UX from 2024 costs $20,000, and since the 116UX is bigger and uses a more advanced backlight, I expect this new model to cost even more. But it's still exciting to see brands like Hisense bring new technology like this to the consumer market, and it offers a pathway to cheaper models with the same technology in the future.

Hisense 136-inch MicroLED TV (136MX)

MicroLED technology has been shown at CES for years, and brands like Samsung even sell giant MicroLED displays to luxury buyers via custom installers. But those TVs are astronomically expensive, and MicroLED has yet to make it to the standard retail market.

That is, until now. In 2025, Hisense says it will release its first "consumer-ready" MicroLED TV, the 136-inch 136MX. Its gigantic size is surely headline-grabbing, but it's really MicroLED tech itself that's so exciting. MicroLED TVs are actually comprised of multiple modular panels that are aligned together to create a large screen with 24.88 million microscopic LEDs. Like an OLED TV, MicroLED displays have pixel-level contrast with perfect black levels. But unlike an OLED, MicroLEDs have no risk of burn-in and they can get substantially brighter. Hisense is touting a peak of 10,000 nits, which is about six times the luminance of the brightest OLED you can buy right now.

Hisense hasn't announced a price yet, but I expect the 136MX to be a very expensive TV. Existing 4K MicroLED displays made for the luxury market cost a couple of hundred grand. Though Hisense says this model is "consumer-ready," it remains to be seen exactly how that statement will translate to cost. The brand is known for offering high-end TVs at much lower prices than most competitors, so we could be looking at tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands. That would still be prohibitively expensive for most but would be a nice move in the right direction.
