Mini LED TVs get far brighter than OLEDs, can't burn in, and cost less at big screen sizes. These are the best Mini LED TVs you can buy new on Amazon, picked from lab test results.
The best Mini LED TV for most people is the Hisense U7SG (about $1,000 for 65 inches): very bright, deep blacks, a matte anti-glare screen, and four HDMI 2.1 ports.
For movies, the Sony BRAVIA 9 (about $2,800) has near-OLED blacks and the best processing. On a budget, the Hisense U6SF Pro (about $800 for 75 inches) is remarkably good.

| Sony BRAVIA 9 (65") | Glossy | Movies, processing, accuracy | ~$2,800 |
| Hisense U8QG (65") | Glossy | Maximum brightness | ~$1,000 on sale |

| Hisense U6SF Pro (75") | Matte | Budget, big screen | ~$800 |
Mini LED TVs use thousands of tiny LEDs behind the screen, grouped into dimming zones. They get much brighter than OLEDs, can't burn in, and cost less at big sizes. Our picks follow RTINGS' lab testing, limited to models sold new on Amazon. RTINGS' two top Mini LED picks, Sony's 2026 BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II, aren't sold new there right now (more on them below).
The best Mini LED you can buy on Amazon, and a great value. Its peak brightness is very high and its colors are very good. Its matte anti-reflective screen makes it one of the best TVs for a sunny room. Local dimming delivers deep, bold blacks, and it's loaded for gaming, with four HDMI 2.1 ports, 4K at up to 165Hz, and VRR. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Worth knowing: blacks look slightly grayer in a dark room than on the Sonys, with more light bleeding around bright spots, and its out-of-the-box accuracy is lower.

It also has a USB-C port that works as a DisplayPort input, handy for a laptop or gaming PC. On sale, it costs about the same as the U7SG.
Worth knowing: most content can't use all that extra brightness, and its glossy screen shows direct reflections. RTINGS found most people are better off with the U7SG. See Hisense U7 vs U8.

Worth knowing: it handles direct reflections poorly, has a narrow viewing angle, and motion blurs in Game Mode. At 65 inches, it costs more than the U7SG.

Its local dimming delivers very deep, uniform blacks, and its anti-reflective coating, similar to the U7SG's, makes it a good fit for bright rooms too. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and two HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR cover a console or two.
Worth knowing: it has far fewer dimming zones than the U7SG, so you'll see more haloing around subtitles. It's also dimmer and less colorful, and it runs the Fire TV interface. Want something smaller and cheaper? The TCL QM6K is our budget 55-inch pick.

That makes colors much brighter and more vivid. RTINGS rates the BRAVIA 9 II as the best Mini LED TV it has tested. Neither is sold new on Amazon as we write this, so the models above are the best Mini LEDs you can buy there. We'll add them when they're available.
