Best TV on the market? Looking for a 65”

I don't know much about individual tv's, but I'd imagine it is going to be tough to find a nice one that isn't a smart tv. You can still use you Apple TV instead of the tv's interface anyways.

I am having an issue finding a “dumb” TV

I have been really happy with Hisense and TCL android and roku TV's. I use to be all in on Sony and they were and still are good TV's, it is just the Chinese brands have come a long way and make very good TV's now. They still offer crap, so that $100 32" TV might still suck, but once you get into the 65" range they make decent boxes.

All I've had is Samsung so my brand loyalty may not help you much

I was a Samsung homer for decades until I bought a 75" for my media room. Bad things occurred with the picture.

All I buy now are TCL (generally the 4 series) TVs now, and I just hook up Roku devices to all the existing Samsungs until they die.

The best is probably the Sony A95K but it's $4k.

The A95K is using Samsung's new QD-OLED panel. If I were you, I'd check out the Samsung S95B that is using the same panel at half the price. The S95B scored higher than the LG C2 in every category on rtings.

I'm planning to buy a new 75" tv and I've been doing alot of reading and watching video reviews the past couple months and the S95B would be my choice. The problem is they only offer it in 55 and 65". So I'm going to wait till next year's lineup which should have larger models.

Fwiw, I have a gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel and it's amazing.

Samsung 65”

Can get some good deals this weekend for some Labor Day sales

Good luck

I saw one today at Walmart for $500 and I was amazed at the pic quality they had on display. The size of the tv was 72” and it was LG brand

Hey VT, I wanted a Sony 65" OLED. I set up every sale alarm I could on the Internet. It took me two months, but I caught it on sale, reduced from $2.6k down to $1.3k.

I also wanted a 65" LG OLED. Same, and by waiting and setting up online bots to look for deals, I was able to get one for under $1.1k while everyone else was paying $2.4k. That also took a couple months of patience.

I know it's hard to be patient when you've reach the start of football season, but you can save bucks AND get an extremely premium quality set if you take your time, know which model you want and are prepared to pounce as soon as the opportunity to get a smashingly good deal materializes.
