All of the TVs we reviewed have HD resolution, but the screens vary widely in black levels, color depth and refresh rate. Having plenty of connections is important as well if you want to connect extra peripherals. We ranked the best smart TVs based on the following criteria.

Features

The number of apps is important because it allows you to steam the content. You will need TVs which will features apps like NETFLIX, HULU Plus and Amazon Instant Videos for all type of video streaming.

As now a days a days menufactures are rapidly shifting towards 4K resolution which means 2160 horizontal line (double of 1080). Which will provide you more sharper and clear pictures. Better you go for one of these two resolution.

Audio

Most built-in speakers are lacking in power, so we recommend adding an extra sound system. However, some TVs have 15-watt speakers – instead of the standard 10 watts – to add extra depth to your viewing. To experience better you should have extra sound system.


HDMI and Connections

Samsung's lays on the hype in its description of the devices with phrases like "redefines your TV viewing experience," "reveal a brighter, more true-to-life-picture" and promising you will "get drawn into the action with the 3D "state-of-the-art curved panel." I've seen a JS900 on display and I can vouch for the fact that the screen looks very, very good, but I'm not sure it was a life-changing experience. The JS900 series comes in three screen sizes: 48 inches for $1,999.99, 55 inches for $2,499.99, and 65 inches for $3,499.99.

The biggest improvemtn to the smart TV platform is the quad core processor to keep things quick and speedy.

Less judder than other LED TVs even with the Motionflow setting off Passive. 3D quality is best in market Up-Conversion of 480, 720, 1080 material is a highlight and a very important quality
