The Best 65-Inch TVs for 2024

The Hisense U8N is by far the brightest TV we’ve tested. It also has excellent color performance and a generous set of features including hands-free Google Assistant as well as Apple AirPlay and Google Cast support, all at a very reasonable price.

This is a bit pricier than a budget TV, but not by much. For the price, it’s easily one of the best choices available.

Simply put, the LG Evo G4 is one of the best-looking TVs we’ve ever tested. It’s extremely bright for an OLED, with vivid color and a lifelike picture. It also has a large set of features and excellent gaming performance.

This is one of two premium OLED TV to get if it’s in your budget. The Panasonic Z95A is similarly priced, even brighter, and has a 4.1.2-channel speaker system, but those speakers mean it isn’t as sleek as the Evo G4, and its colors aren’t as accurate. That gives the LG Evo G4 the edge.

The Hisense U6N doesn’t get nearly as bright as the U8N, but it’s also far more affordable. It still offers excellent color performance with wide, accurate reach, and has plenty of features through Google TV, such as hands-free Google Assistant and support for Apple AirPlay.

This is our top pick among budget TVs, and it should be the first one you look at if you’re trying to save money without sacrificing picture quality. In fact, it’s the third consecutive model in Hisense’s U6 series to earn our top recommendation for TV shoppers on a budget. It won’t compete with premium TVs, but it looks amazing for the price.

The LG Evo C3 OLED shows pleasing colors and is quite responsive. We also like its Dolby Vision support and intuitive webOS smart TV interface.

If you want a TV with the kind of picture quality only an OLED panel can offer, the Evo C3 is one of your best options. It offers a dimmer picture than the LG G4 or Samsung’s S95D, but is also significantly less expensive and just as gamer-friendly thanks to its sub-millisecond input lag.

After nearly a decade away, Panasonic is back in the North American TV market with a truly auspicious return. The Z95A is the brightest OLED TV we’ve tested yet, and it features a built-in 4.1.2-channel speaker system for spatial audio. Overall, it’s a great-looking OLED TV and a worthy competitor to the LG Evo G4.

The Z95A is the TV to get if you want to splurge on the brightest picture an OLED can put out and get powerful sound without setting up extra speakers in the process. The speakers mean it’s much bulkier than the LG Evo G4, and its color performance isn’t quite as accurate, but it still literally outshines the LG. Figuratively, though, LG has the edge if you’re willing to set up a soundbar, thanks to its better colors and incredibly sleek, slim design.

Outdoor TVs are a different beast than regular TVs. They need to be able to hold up to water, dirt, and extreme temperatures that would ruin most normal TVs, which means they need armor. They aren’t very sleek, their pictures are usually less bright and colorful, and they almost always cost much more than their indoor equivalents, but those are the prices you pay for a TV you can mount on your deck or in your backyard. The SunBriteTV Veranda Series 3 is the best one we’ve tested so far, with a solid picture that is easily visible in partial shade. It offers good color performance and lots of built-in features through Android TV (notable for outdoor TVs, which tend to offer limited connectivity and streaming features).

If you want to a TV outside for your yard, porch, deck, or pool, this is the one to get. It’s sturdy enough to handle a downpour, plus it has excellent picture quality for its category. Cheaper outdoor TVs exist, but this one actually looks good.

Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED boasts some much-needed picture quality improvements over the first Fire TV Omni. It doesn’t get as bright as some competitors, but it looks much better than its predecessor and packs all of the same excellent Fire TV features, including hands-free Alexa. It also has Apple AirPlay support.

The Fire TV Omni QLED makes the most sense for dedicated Amazon users who want an inexpensive TV that integrates easily with their Alexa smart home. The Hisense U6K costs less and performs a bit better, but hands-free Alexa support is a pretty significant advantage of the Fire TV Omni.

The TCL QM8 Class of TVs puts out the most light we’ve seen (with an HDR signal and an 18% white field), edging out the Hisense U8N by about 500 nits. It’s a great TV overall, though its colors aren’t as accurate as the Hisense model.

If you want the brightest TV possible, this is the one to get. It’s also reasonably priced considering its capabilities.

To be clear, 8K still isn’t really a viable TV resolution. There isn’t any native 8K content, and there’s no 8K media on the horizon. That said, 8K TVs exist, and theoretically, high-end gaming PCs can at least run games at that resolution. If you really want an 8K TV, the Samsung QN900D is the best choice. Its picture quality is excellent, it’s loaded with features including Apple AirPlay 2, hands-free Amazon Alexa, and an ATSC 3.0 tuner, and it’s generally an all-around solid TV. It’s just really expensive for a TV that you aren’t going to get the most out of for some time.

The QN900D is for early adopters who are willing to spend a lot of money to get an 8K TV even if there isn’t any content for it yet. It can also be of interest to PC gamers with deep pockets who have systems that can take advantage of the resolution.
