Looking for 4k TV recommendations!

vladonizer · May 17, 2022

I'm looking for TV recommendations. It will be used for watching movies and casual gaming, so input lag won't matter if it's not the best. I would like it to be a 4k smart TV 65" or bigger. I really don't want to go over $1,000 USD and of course the lower the better. Even though OLED looks amazing, I'm thinking of staying away from it due to believing it would put me over budget. So the better looking LED's will have to do. I don't have to have a smart TV if it saves enough $ or if it will get me a much better display for the money

If I were buying a mid-range TV right now, I'd go for the Hisense U7G. Right now it's only $820 USD.

It'll be difficult to buy a TV that isn't smart, so assume you will.

You're right that OLED is outside of your budget at that size. I'd go with either a Hisense 65U8G or one of Samsung's 2021 sets, like the Q80/Q80A. Good image quality and still recent enough to support virtually all the latest smart TV apps and features.

Someone in OLED_gamming grabbed two clearance 65 inch LG C1 tvs for $629.99 at Target. However few carried it in the first place so chances of finding one and they weren't all bought out is pretty slim.

Now that's a deal... if I'd seen one at that price, I would have bought it out of principle! But yes, it's safe to say the OP can't assume they'll find a (good) OLED set that meets their criteria.
