You Asked: 42-inch OLED TV vs monitor? Can any LED match OLED's viewing angle?
On today's episode of You Asked: Can any LED TVs match the viewing angle of an OLED? Should you go with a 75-inch LED TV or a 65-inch OLED? And… the return of my favorite username with a pretty interesting question around OLED monitors. TCL QM7 (2024) vs TCL QM6K (2025) @A_Malo asks: TCL QM7 from 2024 or TCL QM6K from 2025? Good question—and one I'm sure a lot of people ask themselves when it comes to going with a current-year or previous-year model. Still, to me, the QM7 is the clear winner for the reasons you might expect. The most important is that it's brighter and has better black levels, so the HDR performance is going to be better. Image processing is also a bit better on the QM7. Now, the QM6K—in our review—did stand out because of how accurate the colors were out of the box, but the QM7 is still going to be the better buy, especially if they're around the same price right now. In fact, I think it's been pretty slept on. I remember we were quite disappointed by the 2023 model, the Q7, but when I saw the QM7 in person at CES 2024, I was pretty impressed by the improvements they made. Especially if it's a good deal, I'd go for it. Samsung 75-inch QN80F vs 65-inch OLED @aydncan5788 asks: Should I consider a 75-inch QN80F model or a 65-inch OLED TV with the same budget? What do you think? I think it depends a little bit on the OLED, but even a budget OLED like LG's B4 or B5 is going to be a considerably better performer than the QN80F. That Mini LED TV from Samsung isn't as bright as some of their models higher up the line, like the QN90F. Typically, brightness might be one of the only advantages an LED TV has over an OLED—but that's not likely the case with the QN80F. Again, not sure of the OLED, but if we compare it to an LG B-Series OLED, for example, it doesn't come with any huge advantages other than size in your scenario. Both have four HDMI 2.1 ports. LG supports Dolby Vision, while Samsung does not. Game mode responsiveness and input lag is pretty similar by the numbers, though the QN80F does have a faster max refresh rate at 144Hz compared to 120Hz on the B4. Still, I wouldn't say that's enough for me to give the nod to the QN80F. And as for size, a difference of 10 inches isn't enough to turn the tide either. Maybe if you were talking about an 85-inch versus a 65-inch, just based on getting a more immersive experience with a large screen. But the image quality of the OLED is too good to pass up in this scenario. OLED monitor + Apple TV vs 42-inch OLED TV @_Jiggle asks: I was thinking of getting an LG C4 42-inch OLED TV to use as a monitor. I'd be watching Netflix and whatnot, but it's quite expensive. So… I thought of getting an OLED monitor and pairing it with an Apple TV. Is this a good solution, and does it hinder certain things? I think there are a few things to consider here, but let's start with your main hang-up—the price. I'm seeing the 42-inch LG C4 at $900. I don't know what OLED monitor you're looking at, but in my search, I found that most OLED monitors costing less than $900 also came in much smaller sizes, like 32 inches—or even down to 27 inches. And if you had your eye on a 42-inch TV, that's a big compromise to make. Anything around 42 inches actually costs more than the C4. So unless I'm missing something, that's kind of a wrap on that. It feels like a choice between a 27-inch monitor to save money or just going with the LG C4. But there are some other things to keep in mind as your search continues. The first is the operating system. You mention potentially pairing it with an Apple TV. Some monitors do come with a built-in OS, like LG's webOS or Samsung's Tizen, but they may be above that $900 budget. And in general, TVs have better picture processing that's designed for viewing content like movies and shows. I believe they have superior upscaling abilities as well. It sounds like you're more interested in that than gaming, so if I were you, I'd just keep saving or waiting for a better sale and getting the C4 when you're ready—rather than chase something that ultimately may not fit your needs. Hope that helps. TVs with the best built-in sound @edwinsallan asks: What TV brand or model has the best sound from built-in speakers, where you won't need to buy a soundbar? Thanks for the question, Edwin. Just going off TVs I've seen that have stood out to me, I'm going to go with the Panasonic Z95A, and you can literally see why it has such great sound. There's an integrated soundbar strip along the bottom of the TV—typically where you'd place a soundbar connected via HDMI—and it does a great job elevating the Z95A's audio performance. Where it stood out in our review was dialogue clarity. I think it has a lot to do with speaker placement in addition to size. Most TV speakers are along the back or sides of the TV, which is an immediate disadvantage when it comes to sending clear dialogue toward the viewer. With the Z95A, that clarity is literally front and center. Unless you want additional components, like a subwoofer and surround speakers, you don't really need them to get a high-quality audio experience—in addition to outstanding OLED picture quality. Do any LED TVs match OLED viewing angles? @mike_98058 asks: Can any LED TVs match the viewing angle of OLED? I'm gonna do my best with this one, Mike, but I think physics are going to be the main factor keeping LED TVs—even some of the best Mini-LED TVs on the market—from matching OLED viewing angles. Because the pixels in OLED TVs light up individually, they create a more evenly distributed brightness and color source that can be seen more easily from multiple angles. LED TVs have come a long way, but a lot depends on the panel type as well. I notice it all the time when viewing my QN90C at home compared to some of the other brands we get into the studio. The QN90C uses an IPS panel, known for better viewing at wide angles with a tradeoff in contrast. VA panels are the opposite—with higher contrast and more narrow viewing angles. However, some of the big brands, like Sony and Samsung, are always working on improving VA panels to maintain great contrast—arguably the most important factor for creating a great viewing experience—while also improving viewing angles. And certainly, a lot of their more recent high-end 4K Mini LED TVs have reflected those improvements. But… it just doesn't quite match OLED.

I make a living testing TVs — these are the 5 TVs under $1,000 I'd buy right now
I've been testing and reviewing TVs for over ten years, and while plenty of people periodically pick my brain about the best TVs money can buy, I field far more questions about affordable TVs. As a bargain-hunter myself, I get it — I cut coupons, shop sales and dig for deals on a regular basis. And, having been immersed in the TV industry for nearly a third of my life, I'm particularly well equipped to help folks find budget-friendly TVs. These are my five favorite TVs under $1,000 right now. They're sets that not only keep costs down, but are good enough to feel like a proper case of treating oneself. My name is Michael, and if you'll let me toot my own horn for a second, I must admit: I'm pretty good at separating good TV deals from not-so-good TV deals. This is because I spend all year testing, reviewing and watching everything from dirt-cheap 32-inch TVs to top-shelf flagship models. I mean, don't get me wrong: I have hobbies and stuff. But TVs have been my professional bread and butter for over a decade now. Once upon a time, we published a glowing Panasonic W95A review, noting the TV's exceptional Mini-LED performance and robust set of features. Next thing we knew, the $1,299, 55-inch model had tumbled in price all the way down to $479. I don't need to explain to you why that's a terrific discount, but I can explain why this is a great TV. Its HDR highlight brightness is well over 1,000 nits, and on the whole, the W95A is bright enough for pretty much every environment. It also comes with a thorough array of features for gaming, Alexa integration with Amazon Fire TV and Dolby Vision support. Panasonic's fantastic Mini-LED TV has never been more affordable, so it's worth pouncing on this deal before it disappears. You're not just getting a great sale price with the W95A, you're also getting a superb, 55-inch Mini-LED TV loaded with extra features. We dug this TV when it was over a thousand bucks, and we really dig it now that it's below $500. This is my current favorite deals on a medium-sized OLED TV, and as of now, it's the only OLED TV on this list. The B4 is LG's entry-level OLED TV from 2024, and the 48-inch version is a Best Buy-exclusive model. Why do I love this TV so much? Well, it boasts all of the benefits of OLED (like perfect black levels and sumptuous-looking color) for a price most of us can afford. The B4 comes with a ton of upside for the price: It supports Dolby Vision, features an elegant design, and offers a full slate of four HDMI 2.1 ports that all support 4K gaming at 120Hz. In our LG B4 OLED review, we called the Editor's Choice TV for the value OLED TV of the year. Looking for an incredible OLED picture without the high price? Look no further. The LG B4 isn't as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you're still getting perfect black levels, ultra-wide viewing angles and a ton of features you'd find on higher-end LG OLEDs. TCL's entry-level Mini-LED TV is right in the "Goldilocks Zone" between value and performance. At around $650 for a 65-inch model, it's a perfect fit for people who want a big-sized TV with a decent set of features at a reasonable price. You can peruse our TCL QM6K review for a full report, but here's what I love about this TV in a nutshell: It's just bright enough for the average living room; arrives with terrific out-of-the-box accuracy (if you're into that sort of thing), and most importantly, it comes with Google TV baked right in. For most people shopping in this price range, Google TV is a great software suite to have in one's back pocket. It's easy to use and offers top-tier app support. Looking for something a little more impressive? Check out the next pick. The QM6K represents one of the most affordable ways to land a Mini-LED TV at the 65-inch size point. Google TV is available right out of the box, and the TV's relatively modest Mini-LED backlight keeps scenes visually appealing. The QM7K is a step up from the QM6K in nearly every way. Its performance, especially in HDR, is much more impressive. It's just a brighter, more colorful presentation that's more likely to wow viewers. The TCL QM7K is also packed with features, particularly gaming-related features. It's got a pair of HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs and supports 4K gaming up to 144Hz. You'll spend a couple hundred bucks more on the QM7K than you will the QM6K, but the added cost is up there on the screen and under the hood. TCL's mid-range Mini-LED TV is one of the best values of the year for folks looking for a powerful gaming TV at a relatively low price point. It's not quite as bright, colorful and packed with features as a higher-end Mini-LED TV, but it's much more versatile than an entry-level LED TV. You can read all about it in our Hisense U8QG review, but the first thing you ought to know about this Mini-LED marvel is that it's one of the brightest TVs we've tested all year. The 55-inch U8QG is just a hair under $1,000 right now, and if you've been looking for a 55-inch set that will dazzle an audience both day and night, this TV is just the ticket. The U8QG isn't just bright, it's also brilliantly colorful, making HDR content pop in a way it might not on lower-end Mini-LED TVs. It's also got plenty of extra features for gaming and beyond, including three HDMI 2.1 inputs, Google TV and Dolby Vision support. It's ready to support 4K gaming at 120Hz and all the way up to 165Hz, too. The newest entry in Hisense's popular U8 Series isn't quite as affordable as it was during Prime Day, but it's still seeing a steep discount right now. This is one of the most value-forward Mini-LED TVs of the year, as well as one of the brightest. The U8QG also comes with plenty of gaming-friendly features and Google TV built right in.

Ninja's Glass-Bowl Air Fryer Won Me Over. Here Are 4 Reasons I Made the Switch
CNET's expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. 9.2 / 10 SCORE Ninja Crispi $180 at Amazon $180 at Best Buy $180 at Target Pros Cook, serve, and storage capabilities Easy to clean: almost everything is dishwasher-safe Intuitive operation No concern about PFAS Ability to see cooking in progress Can buy additional glass vessels for maximum food prep Small storage footprint with nesting capabilities Portable Cons Price is on the high side for air fryers Some exposed hot elements during operation Ninja Crispi 9.2/10 CNET Score $180 at Amazon We're a little obsessed with air fryers around here. We've spent countless hours putting them through their paces -- testing everything from frozen snacks to full meals -- while also evaluating how each model performs. This past spring, a new contender stood out: an air fryer with a sleek glass cooking chambe that breaks from the usual bulky black-box design and hard-to-get-really-clean nonstick basket. After running it through our full battery of tests, it didn't just pass -- it quickly became the favorite. The result? It earned CNET's Editor's Choice award and claimed the top spot on our Best Air Fryers of 2025 list. The Ninja Crispi is our new favorite air fryer. Ninja Read more: Air Fryer Fails: 8 Foods That Just Can't Handle the Heat The Crispi is one of the more expensive air fryers we've tested at $160. But if you're hunting for an air fryer that's easy to use, easy to get clean -- like, really clean -- built to last and causes no concern about ingesting cookware chemicals, the Ninja Crispi is worth a look. Here's how it works and four reasons I switched to a glass-bowl air fryer in 2025. Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 portable glass air fryer at a glance Style : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options Dimensions : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches Power : 1,500 watts : 1,500 watts Weight : 15.74 pounds : 15.74 pounds Price $160 Ninja Crispi operation: How it's different Being able to visually track progress is one of the big draws for Ninja's new air fryer. Pamela Vachon/CNET The cooking pod itself includes crisp, bake, air fry and max crisp functions. Crisp is intended to revive leftovers, while max crisp is the ideal setting for packaged frozen foods. While it is tempting, given its baking dish look, the glass TempWare bowls are not intended to be used as the actual cooking vessels for batters in bake mode, because air still needs to circulate below the cooking vessels to be effective. (Will I try anyway? The temptation is real…) Pressing any button will indicate a digital timer to which you can add or subtract minutes. (The timer defaults to 10.) Below 1 minute, the timer changes into seconds and the device beeps to alert you when the cycle is complete. Overall, the sound level of the Ninja Crispi was similar to conventional air fryer models, with just a moderate whir when operating. 4 reasons I switched to the glass-bowl Ninja Crispi You can see what you're cooking My brussels sprouts got a good char in the Crispi. Pamela Vachon/CNET As expected, the ability to see the cooking in progress was really satisfying, both from a nerdy perspective and also to be able to look for visual cues in terms of when to flip your items or to assess doneness. Both chicken parts and Brussels sprouts were cooked evenly and efficiently with little risk of over-cooking given the 360-degree window into the proceedings. 2. Glass bowls are nontoxic and easy to get clean NInja Most air fryers use aluminum cooking baskets with a nonstick coating. Those coatings tend to chip and breakdown if you're not careful. Plenty of folks are concerned about the health ramifications for ingesting nonstick chemicals that chip of of cookware. With a glass-bowl air fryer, there's no worry. If that's not enough, glass is much easier to deep-clean than nonstick surfaces and you can use the dishwasher without issue. 3. The glass bowls double as food storage containers The cooked food is ready to be packed away or brought to a party as soon as it's done. Pamela Vachon/CNET The versatility, however, makes the Ninja Crispi tremendously interesting, especially for avid meal preppers. Full meals or individual cooked components can go right from cooking into the fridge, with the included lids for easy storage. (Although I am bound by refrigerator logistics to tell you to let it all cool first, so you don't inadvertently raise the temperature inside your fridge.) Additional cooking bowls in a variety of sizes can be purchased separately, allowing for the possibility of a multitude of individually cooked meals with no cleanup required in between use: just transfer the cooking pod from one cooking vessel to the next, assembly-line style. Sunday meal prep has never been easier, nor required fewer dishes. 4. It's easy to store The Ninja Crispi is also easy to store, with a footprint and height requirement that is far less than a lot of conventional models. It also makes for easy portability -- ideal for a potluck situation or even just a hot-meal self-care moment -- where you could even justify cooking on site. Either of the cooking bowls and the cooking pod could easily fit in a shoulder bag. If I worked in an office, it would thrill me to bring the whole thing with me to have a hot, healthful lunch without reheating. Although if you're contemplating being the person to cook fish directly at your desk -- maybe don't. Not only can the larger 4-quart bowl be used directly as a family-style serving vessel -- whose practical feet preclude the need for a trivet or pot holder -- but one could argue that the smaller 4-cup vessel can be used to eat out of directly, significantly reducing the number of dishes to wash. Speaking of washing, everything except the cooking pod itself is dishwasher-safe. Ninja Crispy setup Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET Despite not looking anything like a typical air fryer, the Ninja Crispi was intuitive to set up and use. Each of the glass cooking vessels has a built-in stand with feet that keeps it off the counter surface. Side handles are also fitted on the stands of the bowls, which allow not only for easy transporting between the counter and the table (because the vessels can also be used to serve) but also make it easy to shake the contents as needed during the cooking process. The nonstick crisper plates were packaged separately and simple to place inside the bowls and to remove for cleaning. Lids for the 6-cup and 4-quart bowls were also included: a snap-on lid for the smaller and a simpler press-on lid for the larger. The cooking pod itself has an ergonomic shape for easy lifting and also has feet for safe placement on the counter when not in use. The cooking pod sits easily on top of the 6-cup bowl and a big-batch adapter frame fits the cooking pod onto the larger bowl. Between unwrapping and rinsing all of the washable parts, I was ready to go in about 2 minutes. What I didn't like about the Ninja Crispi Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET As a modular device with a ton of built-in practicality and versatility, I do think the Ninja Crispi is a game-changer in the air fryer market. That said, at $160 it's on the higher side, price-wise, for an air fryer. Those with little ones in the house also may want to note: When the cooking pod is being used with the adapter for large batches, the adapter can become hot and is potentially exposed once the heating pod is removed. Never minding little ones, if you're an absent-minded cook yourself, it can be a hazard. Read more: 8 Foods That Go From Good to Great in an Air Fryer Final verdict on the Ninja Crispi If you're a disciple of air fryer cooking and, especially if you have a serious commitment to meal prepping, the Ninja Crispi is arguably one of the most versatile models on the market. It's satisfying to use and easy to store and clean. You may want to look for it on sale during Prime Days or the like, but even without a discount, its utility and the reputation of the Ninja brand merits its price tag.
