Tom's Guide TV Satisfaction Survey: Tell us what you love (and hate) about your TV

Take our Tom's Guide TV Satisfaction Survey and tell us what you like about the TV you own and what you really don't like.

Tom's Guide TV Satisfaction Survey: Tell us what you love (and hate) about your TV

Tom's Guide has launched a TV satisfaction survey to gather insights on what readers love and dislike about the six major TV manufacturers: Hisense, LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, and Vizio. The survey aims to understand the experiences of those who frequently test and review TVs, as well as those who own multiple models themselves. Respondents are encouraged to share their thoughts on design, performance, features, and pricing in the comments section.

The author of the article confesses to having an abundance of screens in their home office, living room, and music listening room, with his most recent TV purchases being a TCL QM9K, Samsung S95D OLED, and Hisense U8N. These TVs have been replaced every two to three years, which the author acknowledges may be excessive. However, they believe that these devices provide the best value and are essential for providing accurate analysis to their readers.

Despite owning these modern televisions, the author is willing to consider alternatives. They invite readers to share their reasons for not being satisfied with their current TV or expressing their enthusiasm for their favorite models. By participating in the survey, readers can help others discover their next favorite TV. The results of the survey will be incorporated into upcoming stories as Tom's Guide continues to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the TV market.
