TCL’s 4-Series 4K TV also has a built-in Roku TV, which gives you over 500,000 on-demand movies and TV episodes. It’s also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can get what you want in an instant. Also, the 4K Ultra HD picture quality will give you contrast, color, and detail for a life-like picture while you watch The Witcher. Or enjoy the smooth, life-like action scenes while you watch Keanu Reeves dominate other hitmen in John Wick: Chapter 3. All of our top 4K TV picks have a built-in smart TV. But hey, it’s nice knowing you don’t need to spend an extra $200 on an Apple TV to watch your favorite shows. Even in our Best 4K TVs list, the Samsung was given the “Best for Gaming” title for its color and brightness. The built-in Fire TV is another bonus that has streaming apps like Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, and more. So plan a girls night, pour some wine, and throw on Big Little Lies. And the clear, fast action on the Vizio 4K TV screen will make you feel like you’re sitting front row at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors game. For sports fans, the extra money you’ll have to spend on the Vizio is worth it. Also, the cool 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles give a clear picture to anyone sitting near the side of the screen. That way, if you get stuck sitting in the corner at a game-watching party, you can still be part of the action. Not only that, but if you connect your AppleTV or use Airplay on your iPhone or iPad, you can stream Disney+ or other streaming services on your TV. So sit back, relax, and use Siri to turn on the TV, turn up the volume, and play the latest episode of The Walking Dead.

The 4K picture is also much better than 1080p with its higher resolution. Plus, the few hundred dollars you spend on going to movie theaters over several months would be better spent on a nice TV for the fam.
