Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each tv
Of the 8 tvs we track, 7 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.
| Product | Independent labs | Metrics measured | Outlets on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| LG G5 OLED 65" | 2 | 7 | 3 |
| Sony Bravia 8 II OLED 65" | 2 | 7 | 3 |
| LG C6 OLED 65" | 2 | 6 | 3 |
| Samsung The Frame 65" | 1 | 6 | 1 |
| LG G6 OLED 65" | 1 | 5 | 2 |
| Hisense U8N 65" | 1 | 4 | 1 |
| LG C5 OLED 65" | 1 | 3 | 3 |
| Samsung S95F OLED 65" | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the TVs buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
