Best deals under $500

• Hisense U65QF (55-inch) — $428: Strong peak brightness for bright rooms; runs Amazon Fire TV. Good budget pick for well‑lit spaces. (Also available in 65/75/85″ sizes at larger discounts.)

$500–$1,000: solid midrange choices

• LG B5 (55-inch) — $897: Entry‑level OLED for deep contrast and wide viewing angles; slightly lower peak brightness than higher LG models but an OLED experience at a lower price.
• Hisense U75QG (55-inch) — $528: Very bright LED with four HDMI 2.1 ports — good for bright rooms and multi‑console setups, though contrast and motion handling vary by model.

$1,000 and up: premium panels

• Samsung S95F (65-inch) — $2,298: QD‑OLED panel praised for brightness and color; 165Hz gaming support and excellent HDR performance — a top pick for bright rooms that still want OLED depth.
• TCL QM8K (75-inch) — $1,398: High‑brightness LED aimed at users who prefer very bright HDR and high refresh rates (144Hz) for gaming; fewer HDMI 2.1 ports than some rivals.

Streaming devices

• Amazon Fire TV Stick HD — $18: Budget streamer for 1080p sets and secondary rooms.
• Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus — $25 and 4K Max — $35: Good value if you want 4K streaming and snappier performance.

Shopping tips

• Match the TV to your room: choose higher peak brightness for bright rooms; OLEDs for deep contrast in darker rooms.
• Check HDMI ports (HDMI 2.1) if you plan to use next‑gen consoles or high‑refresh PC gaming.
• Compare across retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, Samsung, LG) and use price trackers to verify historic lows.
• Look at return and warranty terms — larger displays can be a hassle to return if there’s damage in transit.
