Best and biggest TV for Less then 1K

[ELSknutson]

I just bought a new house and am in search of a new TV to fill my living room my dated 55in 1080 Vizio Smart TV  Is heavy and looks small in the space. So I am in search of a quality smart TV that is larger then 55in  also I would like it to sound half way decent as well.   my budget is a $1000.00 USD  Max  for the TV and maybe a few hundred for a decent sound solution.   The room its in is the great room that is 18ftx20ft

Why not get a projector and a 102" screen for it? would be much cheaper

found this for the tv - it also leaves a larger budget for the audio solution

TCL 65S517 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2018 Model)

I would prefigure separate speakers

yamaha have a home theater in a box for 400 dollars - so overall you would be spending just under 1200 dollars for the tv and speakers, and the receiver.

Yamaha YHT-4930UBL 5.1-Channel Home Theater in a Box System with Bluetooth

you would run an optical to the receiver which would then power the speakers, aswell as decode the audio

well running hdmi ARC to it would be alot better as it isnt compressed ;/

If you're looking at the TCL route, look into the 6 series. You can still catch them on sale right now. ~$740 for 65". As for a sound system. Please don't buy a "home theater in a box" I don't care who owns them or what they say about them, they are absolute trash. You're better off buying a $200 receiver, and a pair of bookshelves and a center channel that are proper speakers for around the same cost. MUCH better experience overall. There's a reason they cost so little and seem to "get soooooo much!! GOOD DEAL!!!". No, it's not. Sound is just as important to the experience as the video. Plus with that size room, the "in a box" solution, will have you running wires all over the place for the rears, and honestly not giving you much out of them.

Those both are very basic 4k TVs. The vizio is their lowest end 4k. Not worth the $ at all. The LG is again the lowest 4k model but the size makes up for the price I guess. However that being said it’s still an entry level 4k panel. I’d still go with a smaller 65” tv that’s better. But if you want size, which I wouldn’t focus on, then the LG out of the two with the Vizio.
