Looking for the best 65-inch TV? From the LG C9 to Samsung’s Q90, these are the top picks.
The best 65-inch 4K TVs of 2020 are fantastic devices. Every single one of those extra inches means your TV shows and films look even better. Combine the impact of these excellent TVs with the sheer scale of whatever you’re watching and you’ve got a home cinema experience to rival an actual cinema. Given the size of these TVs, it’s obvious that the best 65-inch 4K TVs you can buy today won’t suit every home, budget or taste. However, they’re well worth checking out if you’re looking for the next step up in home cinema displays. The biggest question you need to ask yourself is: do you really need a 65-inch 4K TV? Most smart TVs these days have 4K resolution built-in, and feature color and contrast improvements with HDR (high dynamic range) or even OLED panels. That means you don’t necessarily need to go for such a huge size if you want the latest tech. However, what a super large 65-inch TV can do is help showcase these big enhancements in far more detail than any 40-inch TV set could. Of course, there is the option to go even larger. If you’ve got the space for it, you might want to consider these 75-inch TVs – or make a huge statement with the Q950R, a new Samsung TV for 2020 which measures in at a whopping 98 inches. If you’re already convinced, here’s a word of warning. Buying based on size alone can be misleading. If you get a bigger screen and it doesn’t have the brightness and contrast to make its pixels truly shine, or the processing smarts to make sure video noise and the stays a minor issue, then a 65-inch TV set will display flaws much more clearly than it would on a small TV. That’s why we’ve created this list of the best 65-inch 4K TVs. We’ve selected the very best TVs available to buy right now into one handy guide. Whether you’re scouting for a TV from Samsung, LG, Sony, or someone else altogether, we have the TV for you. New TVs for 2020 will be sure to replace the entries on this list as the year goes on – and some of the sets below are already low in stock in a few territories, meaning you may not have much longer to get the set you’re after. For now, though, these are the best 65-inch 4K TVs out there. If the newest of the new, the best of the best isn’t the absolute priority for you, it might be worthwhile to wait until the Black Friday deals period kicks off. The sales event technically lands on November 27, but Black Friday TV deals tend to run through the previous weeks. With massive savings to be made on televisions, especially older models, you can pick up real bargains – whether that’s the 65-inch 4K TVs listed below, or sets of any size from 32-inch small TVs to 75-inch screens. As usual, we’ll be showcasing all of the best deals here on TechRadar. But be sure to check back to this page too if your priority is finding one of the TVs from this list. Our price finding system will bring you the best deals on all the products we’ve selected below. Easily one of the best TVs of 2020, this OLED set offers drop-dead black levels, incredible picture quality, and LG’s as-usual stellar design. There’s not much different compared to the LG C9 (which held this spot last year), aside from an upgraded chip to better improve the picture processing algorithms. The display is also incredibly thin, at just a couple of millimeters deep – while still managing to fit in four HDMI 2.1 ports (with eARC too) and a brilliantly low input lag, meaning this is one set able to handle those next-gen consoles coming later this year. (Support for Nvidia G-Sync make this a decent choice for PC gamers, too.) Not to forget LG’s webOS smart platform, which is market-leading in its intuitive interface and helpful content rows. You’ll get Dolby Vision and Atmos support, too, even if HDR10+ isn’t currently supported by LG TVs. You can nab it in 48-inch,55-inch, and 77-inch sizes too, but those of you after a jaw-dropping 65-inch TV need look no further. The 65-inch model retails at $2,499 / £2,799 (around AU$3,800), almost twice the cost of the 48-inch size. Read the full review: LG CX OLED There are plenty of new Samsung TVs to consider this year, but the Q800T 8K QLED might be one of the most eye-grabbing. While it hasn’t have the panache of the more premium Q950TS, it does feature the same impactful OTS+ (Object Tracking Sound) audio system, with various drivers placed around the screen for vertical and horizontal range. You’re also getting one of Samsung’s 8K TVs for the same price the 4K Q90R retailed for last year, making this a great choice for someone put off by 8K’s lofty price tag in previous ranges. Samsung is aggressively pursuing 8K these days, so much so that it’s saving the best specs and features for 8K models. That means the Q95T we reviewed isn’t quite as impressive as its previous iteration, and means the best Samsung TVs are including more and more 8K screens as time goes on.
