The LG 65-Inch Class OLED evo C5 Series is best for best picture for most. Its key feature is OLED contrast with great gaming features, and it usually costs $1,599–$2,499. Buy it if you want perfect blacks, rich color and the best gaming features at a price below flagship OLEDs. Skip it if your room is very bright with direct sun; a Mini-LED gets brighter. Our verdict: Buy, with a research score of 9.2 out of 10.
How does LG compare with rivals? In tvs, the main alternatives include the Samsung 65-Inch Class OLED S90F (bright OLED alternative, $1,499–$2,299), the TCL 65-Inch QM8K QD-Mini LED (bright rooms, $1,299–$1,999) and the Hisense 65-Inch Class U8 Series Mini-LED (value Mini-LED, $899–$1,399). Our best tvs list ranks them side by side so you can see where LG wins and where it does not.
When you buy LG online, check that the listing is sold by the retailer itself or by LG's official store so the manufacturer warranty applies. Register the product with LG after it arrives, keep the order confirmation, and note the return window in case it is not the right fit.
OLED gives the best contrast and viewing angles; Mini-LED gets brighter and costs less per inch. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, look for HDMI 2.1 with 4K at 120Hz and VRR. Pick size by distance: from about 8 feet away, 65 inches is the sweet spot for most living rooms.
OLED wins in dark rooms with perfect blacks and wide viewing angles. Mini-LED wins in bright rooms and costs less at big sizes. Most people are happiest with 65 inches in a living room. If you sit 9 feet or more away, consider 75 inches or larger.
The best TV prices in the US land on Black Friday and just before the Super Bowl, when the previous year's models get cleared out. Check retailer return windows, since a bad panel can show up in the first weeks.
Across the tvs we cover, typical prices run from $379 to $2,499. Store prices change often, so treat these as typical ranges and check the current price before you buy.
Also worth a look is the Amazon Fire TV 55-inch Omni QLED Series, usually $379–$549, which is best for budget Alexa homes. Its standout feature is hands-free Alexa and local dimming at a low price; the main trade-off is 60Hz panel. Also worth a look is the Samsung 65-Inch Class The Frame, usually $1,299–$1,999, which is best for art-display looks. Its standout feature is matte screen that shows artwork when off; the main trade-off is weak contrast for the price.
