Is larger always preferable? Yes, most of the time when it comes to the greatest TVs. Go as large as you can afford, is the advise we provide at. Finding the ideal location for a 75-inch monster can be challenging, but if you have the room, the finest 75-inch TVs are well worth the money. These TVs are more accessible than ever, sometimes costing around $1,000 or even less during the holiday shopping season, which makes them even more alluring.
The list below represents the best TVs I’ve reviewed in The Tech Fun test lab, where I compare them side by side to see which is most worth buying. I’ve actually reviewed the 65-inch sizes in the series listed below, but the 75- and 77-inch versions are basically identical beyond screen size.
TCL 75R655
The TCL 6-Series has been our favorite budget television for the past five years, and the 2022 model, also known as the R655 series, is no exception. Mini-LED technology and well-executed full-array local dimming make this TV outperform nearly every other TV at this price point in terms of image quality. The new 85-inch size has normal legs, but the R635 series is enhanced with better gaming accessories and a redesigned center-mount stand that can be raised to accommodate a soundbar. Finally, our top pick for an operating system is Roku TV.
It should be noted that several 6-Series models, in addition to the R635, which this TV replaces, were introduced in 2021 and are still available. The R646 series has comparable specs to the R655 devices examined here, however it runs on the Google TV operating system. The R648 series is substantially more costly and boasts 8K resolution. Read our review of the TCL 6-Series.
LG OLED77C2P
The C2 offers the highest level of picture quality at a price that is, although expensive, not outlandish. With its flawless black levels, unmatched contrast, and excellent off-angle viewing, it surpasses every non-OLED TV on our list, including the Samsung QN90B below. Additionally, it offers excellent gaming capabilities that make it the ideal mate for an Xbox Series X or S, PlayStation 5, or both. The C2 is also available in a range of sizes, however the larger variants are more costly.
The 65-inch model we examined weights just 37 pounds with its stand, compared to 72 pounds for the 65-inch C1; improvements over the C1 from last year include further changes to game mode and a new “always ready” function. Carbon-fiber construction allows for up to 47% less weight.
TCL 75S455
In our test of cheap TVs, the TCL 4-Series Roku TV’s image quality lagged the Vizio V-Series, but the variations between the two are so minute that you’d have to compare them side by side to tell any difference at all. The Vizio provides Dolby Vision, Bluetooth, and AMD FreeSync with a variable refresh rate, all of which are absent from the 4-Series.
The superb Roku Smart TV system is incorporated into the 4-Series, giving it an edge over the Vizio. It is therefore a fantastic option for anyone seeking a complete smart TV solution without the need to add an additional streaming device.
Vizio M75QXM-K03 (Update: Unavailable)
One of the more affordable TVs with full-array local dimming is the Vizio MQX, which reproduces TV episodes, movies, and video games with sufficient contrast and pop to do HDR credit. The MQX features 42 dimming zones on its 75-inch screen, which is less than more costly TVs like the TCL 6-Series but more than enough to produce superb overall image quality with dazzling highlights, deep black depths, sharp contrast, and true color.
The MQX, which differs from the M7 from a year ago in having a real 120Hz refresh rate, performed admirably in our tests and is compatible with 4K/120Hz transmissions from gaming consoles like the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Both of the popular HDR standards, HDR10 and Dolby Vision, are supported by Vizio in the M-Series. The Vizio MQX is a great compromise if you can’t save enough for the TCL 6-Series or the Hisense U8H but still want a better picture than the 4-Series.
Samsung QN75QN90B
Don’t want an OLED but want a high-end TV with amazing visual quality? Your best option is the Samsung QN90B. For a brighter image than any OLED TV, this TV employs mini-LED technology in addition to QLED TV technology. In our side-by-side testing, OLED’s stunning contrast still prevailed, but the QN90B QLED screen came closer than ever.
Hisense 75U8H
In our side-by-side assessment of mid-priced devices, we somewhat preferred the TCL 6-Series, but this Hisense is a solid competitor. Best-in-class brightness, which enhances picture quality in bright environments and makes HDR TV movies, programs, and games really shine, is the foundation of its exceptional image quality. Although it is brighter and has higher contrast than the TCL, the TCL ultimately won out because of its slightly more realistic image. In contrast to the TCL, the Hisense utilizes Google TV instead of Roku, and the U8H has an ATSC 3.0 tuner. Actually, any one is a good choice.
Vizio V755M-K03
The Vizio V-Series’ visual quality stood out as the finest when we side-by-side evaluated the top 2022 affordable TVs. During our evaluations, the Vizio provided the most realistic and balanced image, and it has some convenient additions like Dolby Vision support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth connectivity, and variable refresh rate for perhaps smoother gaming. The Vizio’s smart TV platform, Vizio SmartCast, is by far its largest drawback. It’s clogged up, sluggish, and covered in adverts for services like Tubi and Kidoodle TV. The V-Series, however, continues to be the finest all-around entry-level TV that we evaluated, even after accounting for the price of introducing a new streaming device.
Samsung QN75QN60B
The Q60 series is one of Samsung’s most well-known TV models, which is the brand that sells the most TVs overall. Even though the ultrathin OLED versions are more svelte, its elegant QLED screen design shines out in comparison to the other TVs on our list. It also provides more sizes, greater features, and better image quality than models like the TCL 4-Series and Sony X80K. Although all of the TVs in this post are better bargains than this one, if you want a Samsung TV but can’t afford the QN90A, this is a fantastic alternative.
The Q60A, which is the 2021 version, is still available for purchase and occasionally costs less than the Q60B. In our testing, the newer model tested brighter, but if you want the greatest price, stay with the Q60A if it’s still readily available.
How does The Tech Fun test TVs?
Our TV evaluations adhere to a strict, objective evaluation methodology that has been refined through over two decades of TV reviews. A Murideo Sig-G 4K HDR signal generator, an AVPro Connect 8×8 4K HDR distribution matrix, and a Konica Minolta CS-2000 spectroradiometer are among the advanced tools in our main TV test facility for detecting light and color. Each TV we assess and calibrate using Portrait Displays CalMan Ultimate software. Every CNET TV review includes a side-by-side comparison of three or more identical TVs in various lighting situations with diverse material, such as movies, TV episodes, and games, in a range of test areas, such as color, video processing, gaming, and HDR. Our reviews also account for design, features, smart TV performance, HDMI input and gaming compatibility and more.
75-inch TV FAQs
Is a 75-inch TV too big?
Depending on the size of your space, the distance between chairs, and your preferences. A 75-inch TV is often great for a spacious living room or den, but it’s too big for most bedrooms or smaller living rooms. For the optimum viewing experience, a smaller TV is sufficient if you are seated near to the screen. Although many spectators may find it more comfortable to sit a little further back than that, THX and SMPTE recommend being between 7.5 and 10 feet from a 75-inch screen for the best theatrical effect. If you have 20/20 vision, you may sit as close to a 75-inch 4K TV as you like and still not be able to distinguish individual pixels.
How wide is a 75-inch TV?
The majority of 75-inch TVs are 65 to 67 inches wide. 75-inch TV widths are quite consistent since the frames that surround more recent TV displays are frequently quite small. On the lower end are models with extremely thin frames; for instance, the 75-inch Samsung QN90A is 65.7 inches wide, while the somewhat thicker-framed 75-inch TCL 4-Series is 66.1 inches wide. The piece of furniture holding the TV should typically be at least as broad as the TV itself, and preferably a few inches bigger, if you don’t want to wall-mount it. For a specific 75-inch or 77-inch TV’s exact measurements, see the manufacturer’s website.
How much does a 75-inch TV weigh?
The weight of a 75-inch TV with its stand ranges from 75 to 100 pounds, however it greatly varies depending on the model of TV. For instance, the 75-inch TCL 4-Series TV weighs 75 pounds with the stand is attached, and the 75-inch Samsung QN90A TV weighs 98.8 pounds. You may mount the TV on the wall by removing the stand, which frequently consists of two little legs under the panel, and doing so also makes the TV lighter (stands can weigh up to 20 pounds). Additional 10–20 pounds of shipping weight (box, accessories, etc.) are included. For a specific 75-inch TV’s exact weights, see the manufacturer’s website.
