Your ideal TV setup depends on several factors. You need to consider your streaming preferences, display panel type, room environment, and more. And if it’s content with dark scenes that you watch, your choice of TV becomes even more important. Here are the best TVs for dark scene viewing.
Hisense Class U7 Series
- Panel type: Mini LED
- HDR formats supported: HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG
- Operating system: Google TV
- HDMI inputs: 4
While an OLED TV is ideal for watching dark scenes, some may skip it due to higher costs and burn-in headaches. If this is also a concern for you, the Hisense Class U7 series might be the right pick for you.
It is an excellent TV with a mini-LED panel capable of 1000 nits brightness — and all of it at an affordable price tag. The TV also offers support for full array local dimming to deliver better picture quality with deep blacks and brightness levels.

LG C3
- Panel type: OLED
- HDR formats supported: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG
- Operating system: webOS
- HDMI inputs: 4
Thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio and high-end tech underneath, the LG C3 offers a great experience for consuming content with dark scenes. LG has been making OLED TVs for years, and the company’s C-series is an ideal pick for anyone.
LG C3 supports all the major HDR formats, comes with α9 AI processor to offer good picture quality, and supports all the gaming features you can ask for. The C3 is powered by a webOS operating system, and while it offers 300+ free LG channels, the overall user interface still leaves a lot to desire.

Sony A95K
- Panel type: OLED
- HDR formats supported: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, HDR 10+
- Operating system: Google TV
- HDMI inputs: 4
Sony has been using LG’s OLED panel for years. However, last year, Sony ditched LG in favor of Samsung to offer the A95K with a QD-OLED display. It offers deep blacks, premium design, Google TV OS, and more.
While OLED panels deliver deep blacks, they compromise on brightness levels. However, that’s not the case with the Sony A95K. The QD-OLED panel offers all the OLED benefits without skimping on brightness levels. That, coupled with Sony’s custom processor and excellent color tuning, makes it great for watching all types of content — including content with dark scenes.

Samsung S90C
- Panel type: OLED
- HDR formats supported: HDR10+, HLG
- Operating system: Tizen OS
- HDMI inputs: 4
The S90C uses the second generation of Samsung’s QD-OLED panels and sits below the S95C. The highlight of the TV is its ability to reach peak brightness levels of up to 2000 nits which ultimately helps it offer good performance in HDR.
This TV also uses a custom neural quantum processor that supports 4K upscaling to deliver a sharp picture quality. It also offers support for Q-Symphony 3.0 which works like a charm with Samsung’s Q-series and S-series soundbars and delivers an immersive experience while watching your favorite content with dark scenes.

LG G3
- Panel type: OLED
- HDR formats supported: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG
- Operating system: webOS
- HDMI inputs: 4
The G3 is an excellent TV and should be a go-to pick for anyone without budget issues. LG G3 delivers a one-wall design, leaving no gap between the TV and the wall, thus also proving to be a great addition in terms of looks.
While it uses the same processor as the LG C3, this one looks and feels more premium. LG also bundles a filmmaker mode to let you watch films in the most color-accurate way as it was intended. To counter Samsung’s bright QD-OLED, LG has packed a brightness booster to adjust the picture for up to 70% brighter images.
