When it comes to TVs these days, 65 inches isn't considered nearly as large as it once was. And, since 75-inch TVs have dropped in price over the last few years, a huge screen is now within reach of almost every budget. I've been reviewing TVs for more than 10 years. As a certified TV calibrator, I use specialized equipment to measure each TV's brightness, contrast, color accuracy, color range, and latency for gaming. The LG Evo C5 is the best value among OLED TVs, offering excellent performance and loads of features, while the Samsung S95H stands out as the best OLED TV overall and a PCMag Lab Award winner for lowest input lag. On the less expensive side, the Hisense U65QF is a fantastic budget-friendly TV with screens in the massive (85- and 100-inch) size range. Beyond those models, this list has a range of excellent big-screen TVs for all budgets, so read on for more top picks.

Best Budget-Friendly TVHisense 85U65QF
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
Hisense's U65QF is our top budget TV of the year so far, with a picture that swings well above its class. It's the rare cheap TV that can push 1,000 nits of peak brightness, a threshold usually reserved for midrange and higher-end models, and it has wide, accurate colors to match. It lacks a few niceties like hands-free voice control, but for the price, it's an incredible deal.
Who It's For
Budget shoppers: At $1,200 or less for 85 inches, the U65QF is one of the cheapest big-screen TVs you can get. If you're looking for the largest possible TV at the lowest possible price while still getting a good viewing experience, this is it.
Privacy-minded Amazon fans: If you're an avid Amazon user who wants to control your home using Alexa but don't want a device constantly listening to you, the U65QF is a good choice. It runs on the Fire TV platform with Alexa built in, letting you control it with your voice by pressing the microphone button on the remote and speaking into it. It doesn't have a far-field microphone, so you need to be holding the remote, but that means it isn't always keeping an ear out.

![LG Evo C5 OLED TV (77-Inch)]()
Best OLED TV ValueLG Evo C5 OLED TV (77-Inch)
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
While it isn't the brightest or most cutting-edge OLED TV, the LG Evo C5 is one of our favorites for its value. It offers a fantastic picture, a sleek design, and plenty of features, including Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and hands-free Amazon Alexa, and it's consistently available for far below its suggested retail price. The 77-inch model's MSRP might be $3,699.99, but we have regularly seen it for less than $2,000.
Who It's For
Value-conscious home theater fans: An OLED TV is your best bet if you want a great picture on a slim screen, and the Evo C5 delivers just that for much less than most OLEDs. It's an excellent all-around value as a home theater centerpiece.
OLED-curious TV watchers: If you've been considering switching from LED to OLED but have been holding off due to the price, the Evo C5 is just what you've been waiting for. It doesn't cost too much more than a mid-to-high-end LED TV, and that modest premium is justified by its style and performance.

![Samsung 83-Inch S95H OLED TV]()
Best OLED TV OverallSamsung 83-Inch S95H OLED TV
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
The Samsung S95H isn't only the brightest OLED TV I've tested yet, it's also the most responsive, earning a PCMag Lab Award for lowest input lag. It looks fantastic and sounds great, too, with a built-in 4.2.2-channel spatial audio speaker system.
Who It's For
Home theater enthusiasts: The S95H has a bright, colorful picture and powerful, detailed sound on its own, but its Q-Symphony feature lets you take it a step further. If you connect a compatible Samsung soundbar, the TV will combine its own 4.2.2-channel speaker drivers with the soundbar's for bigger, more immersive sound than you would get with either on its own.
Gamers: I measured a latency of just 9.2 milliseconds with a 4K60 signal on the S95H, the lowest input lag I've seen yet, and worthy of a PCMag Lab Award. It also has a 165Hz native refresh rate with VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and Nvidia G-Sync, so PC gamers especially will find plenty to love.

Best QLED TVHisense 85U8QG (85-Inch)
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
It's a bit more expensive than its predecessor, the U8N, but Hisense's U8QG still leads the pack in overall value with its incredibly bright picture, wide and accurate colors, 4.1.2-channel built-in spatial audio sound system, 165Hz refresh rate with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and its very rare DisplayPort-over-USB-C input. It's also brighter than the already nearly blinding U8N, all for a reasonable price. It has just one ding to it besides the higher price: Only three HDMI ports.
Who It's For
Value shoppers: This is simply a great overall value for anyone looking to get a strong picture and lots of features without spending too much, even if it's pricier than the previous generation. It's even available in a massive 100-inch version.
Audio-focused home theater fans: The 4.1.2-channel speaker system built into the U8QG can produce a big, detailed sound field with plenty of directionality in front of you, both to the sides and vertically with height channels. If you want a spatial audio experience without buying a separate soundbar, this is an excellent pick. It won't make you think there are speakers behind the couch, but it'll otherwise offer much more immersive audio than most TVs.

Best Roku TVRoku 75-Inch Pro Series (2025)
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
Roku is one of our favorite smart TV platforms to recommend for less tech-savvy users. It's friendly, simple, and not bogged down with many non-TV features like other platforms can be. For a big TV that uses Roku without a separate Roku media streamer, the company's own Pro Series is the best pick. Its picture looks great, you can search for content and control it with your voice hands-free, and it even has a handy remote finder button.
Who It's For
Casual TV viewers: If you don't want your TV to function as a smart home hub with a full voice assistant, and simply want to watch what you want without any extra features, this is the TV to get.
Less tech-savvy users: Because the Roku interface is so simple and accessible, it's one of the easiest ways to get into streaming if you aren't very good with tech. It's built around big buttons that put you into whatever service you want, without a lot of extraneous functions or loads of suggestions and ads.
Anyone who regularly loses the remote: The remote finder feature on the Roku Pro Series is vital if you find yourself constantly looking for the TV remote. Press the button on the TV itself, and you'll be able to hear the remote chime from wherever it's wedged in the couch.

Best Fire TVAmazon Fire TV Omni Mini-LED (85-Inch)
Pros & Cons
Why We Picked It
The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED is Amazon's best Fire TV television by far, mainly because it's much, much brighter than any of its predecessors. It's loaded with features, including hands-free Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and 144Hz VRR with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. And at $2,100 for 85 inches, it's reasonably priced.
Who It's For
Dedicated Alexa users: Thanks to its far-field microphone array and hands-free voice control, the Fire TV Omni Mini-LED is the best big screen for anyone who uses Alexa and has built their smart home around the voice assistant. And, unlike cheaper Fire TV Omni models, it has a terrific picture.

Buying Guide: The Best 75-Inch (and Up) TVs for 2026
A note about the TVs here: Generally, TVs of different sizes within the same line offer similar performance. We typically test one screen size in a TV's line and extrapolate its performance to other sizes unless specific specs indicate its capabilities differ. For TVs where we've tested another screen size, a note in the review indicates which specific model our observations are based on.
Is a 75-Inch (or Bigger) TV Too Big?
When you're shopping for a supersized TV, it's important to keep space in mind. Check the TV's measurements and confirm you can place it where you want in your home. If you're planning to put it on top of a piece of furniture like a console, make sure the surface is wide enough for the TV's feet, which may be set far apart for stability.
If you're planning to mount a 75- or 85-inch TV on a wall, check the weight and make sure you get the proper mount size—and that your wall can support it. Keep in mind that big TVs can weigh 100 pounds or more, so you need a strong mount and an extra hand to install it.
For more on this, see our guide on how to choose the right TV screen size.
Is It Worth Buying a 4K Projector Instead?
Rear-projection TVs might be dead, but projectors aren't. Projectors are still the most popular way to set up extra-large, 100-inch-plus screens. Their pictures aren't nearly as bright as LCD TVs, and they can't offer the same contrast as LCDs or OLEDs, but they are a lot more scalable. If you want to spend the cash, a good projector or array of projectors can make a picture as big as you want, from comfortably couch-sized to IMAX levels and beyond.
You can find 1080p projectors for a few hundred dollars, but you should expect to pay at least $1,000 to $3,000 for one that can produce 4K, and that's at the absolute lowest. Relatively small home theater projectors in this price range can produce over 300-inch pictures, but remember that the bigger the screen, the more light (at least if the lamp is maxed out) has to cover; this results in a dimmer picture. You can get brighter, larger projectors as well, with prices easily hitting the tens of thousands of dollars, and the option to align multiple projectors for really big screens or to get super bright.
Projectors are tricky, though. You need to place them properly, align the lens to cover the desired screen size and shape, and make sure there are no obstructions between the projector and the screen. You also likely need a good screen. Because projectors aren't as bright as LED-backlit LCD TVs, you want every bit of light that hits the screen to bounce off correctly into your eyes. That's why screens are an important part of a projector-based home theater, with a variety of treatments available that can range from less than $100 to well over $1,000 (and far beyond, if you customize your installation with carefully hidden motorized storage and the most advanced screen materials).
How Much Does an LED Video Wall Cost?
This is where big screens get slightly confusing and extremely expensive. It's also where TVs get much, much bigger than 75 inches. Although LED TVs are just LCD TVs with LED backlights, LED video walls are a completely different technology. They use clusters of colored light-emitting diodes to form each pixel and illuminate it, like OLEDs. The good news about LED video walls is that they can get very large. The bad news is that they have to be really big, which is a limiting factor if you want to fit a 4K picture in a given space.
Recommended by Our Editors
First, be aware that mini-LED is not the same as LED video walls. The latter option uses those individual LEDs to form pixels. Mini-LED arrays, which are becoming increasingly common on high-end LED TVs, simply consist of hundreds of white LEDs backlighting an LCD.
Digital signage commonly uses LED video walls. If you see a huge light-up sign that plays video on the side of a building, it's probably an LED array. If you get close to it, like within 10 feet, you can probably see the individual pixels from each relatively large LED cluster. They're great for stadiums but not for home theaters.
That's changing with miniaturized LEDs, like Samsung's microLED video wall and Sony's Crystal LED wall. These newer video walls have pixel pitches of 0.8 to 1.2mm, which means the pixels are small enough that you can sit comfortably back and not notice the individual lights. They're still huge pixels compared with LCD and OLED TVs (a 4K 80-inch TV has pixels less than 0.5mm across), but they're much smaller than the big commercial signs with lights as big as your fist.
Video walls are also rare and wildly expensive. You won't find them on Amazon or at Best Buy. They're largely designed for commercial installations, meaning they're for businesses that need and can afford to install a massive video wall. They're supposedly available (or will eventually be available) for consumer use, but the consumers in these cases probably own mansions.
Where Is the Best Place to Buy a Big-Screen TV?
If you want a big LCD or OLED TV, the answer is pretty simple: Go to your local electronics retailer or shop online. Huge flat panels are available from many stores as well as directly from manufacturers. Want an 83-inch OLED? Hit up Amazon or Best Buy online, drop the cash, and wait for it to arrive. If you want to go bigger, especially past the 90-inch mark, you might need to find a specialty retailer.
Projectors are also readily available to consumers, to an extent. If you want to buy an entry-level or midrange home theater projector (plus a screen) and set it all up yourself, you can. If you're planning to spend tens of thousands of dollars to put together a first-class home theater, though, talk to an expert. Home theater installers, also known as custom installers, specialize in purchasing and installing your projection and speaker systems and may even handle the construction and electrical details for your dream home theater. High-end home theater equipment is usually only available through such installers, who also double as AV dealers; the top-end projectors aren't typically on store shelves.
As for LED video walls, that's trickier. You have to contact Samsung or Sony directly or find a contractor who can deliver and properly install LED arrays. Samsung recently launched one-piece consumer microLED TVs (though you won't find them at your typical Best Buy).
If all you want is a big TV, though, a flat panel is largely the way to go. To that end, you can't go wrong with any of the top models here. And no matter which TV you get, make sure to check out our guides on the best picture settings for your favorite movies, shows, and games.
