When it comes to purchasing a top-rated television tested by Stiftung Warentest, one might expect to shell out a significant amount, often exceeding 2000 euros. However, the market offers a diverse range of TVs that are both high-quality and more affordably priced across different sizes and price categories.

### The Technology Behind the Screen
Televisions with the highest image quality typically feature OLED displays, where each pixel emits its own light. This technology enables deep blacks, strong contrasts, and wide viewing angles. On the other hand, LCD TVs, which utilize backlit displays, also deliver good picture quality but at a more budget-friendly price point.
### Continuously Updated Choices
The rapid pace at which manufacturers update their TV line-ups means that out of 424 models listed by Stiftung Warentest, only 261 remain on the market, with five new additions as of June. This dynamic market offers consumers a wide array of choices, constantly refreshed with the latest technology.
### Top Picks for Small Screens
For those looking for compact options, the selection of TVs with screen sizes up to 43 inches might seem limited, but there are still eight notable models that make the cut. The standout model, the LG 42LX3Q9LA, despite its high price of around 2550 euros, offers exceptional image quality, even in well-lit environments, and has good sound and usability, though its energy consumption is rated only satisfactory. A more affordable alternative, the LG OLED42C47LA, priced at about 850 euros, nearly matches the top model in overall performance, showcasing only minor differences.
The Hisense 43A7NQ emerges as the best value-for-money choice in the smaller size bracket, available for around 350 euros. This model is praised for its good picture and sound quality, although its handling and energy efficiency received average ratings.

In the 50 to 55-inch category, which is among the most popular, there are 58 quality models identified by Stiftung Warentest. Leading this category are two LG models, the OLED55C37LA and OLED55G48LW, priced at approximately 1325 euros and 1400 euros respectively. Both offer excellent image and sound quality, although the latter is slightly superior in terms of picture but just good in sound performance.
For those who prioritize affordability along with quality, the Samsung GQ55S85DAE stands out, available for just under 940 euros. Meanwhile, the Hisense 50A7NQ offers a solid performance at less than 400 euros, and the Samsung GQ55Q60DAU, priced around 500 euros, also scores well across all categories.
### Large Screen Leaders
For larger living spaces where a big screen can make a dramatic impact, there are 58 models to consider, including one notable 75-inch TV. In the 65-inch category, the LG OLED65G48LW and Samsung GQ65S90CAT are leaders, priced at around 1800 euros and 2415 euros respectively, with the former boasting the best visual performance and the latter excelling in sound.
The LG OLED65C47LA provides a more balanced cost-to-performance ratio at approximately 1580 euros, offering similar quality to the more expensive models. Another cost-effective option is the Samsung GQ65S90DAT, which, at around 1700 euros, offers good energy efficiency.
The Hisense 65U7NQ, priced at about 850 euros, represents a good deal with well-rounded performance, though its usability is considered satisfactory due to less intuitive controls. The Samsung GQ65Q60DAU, priced at roughly 750 euros, is rated good in all categories but comes with a slightly lower overall rating of 2.1.
For those specifically seeking a 75-inch model, the Samsung GU75DU7179U stands alone as a good option priced around 750 euros, achieving a satisfactory rating in energy consumption while maintaining good performance in other key areas.
