When it comes to TVs these days, 65 inches isn’t considered nearly as large as it used to be. And, since 75-inch TVs, in particular, have dropped in price over the last few years, a huge screen is now within reach of almost every budget. I’ve been reviewing TVs for more 10 years. As a certified TV calibrator, I use specialized equipment to measure each TV’s brightness, contrast, color accuracy, color range, and (for gamers) latency. With a 4.5-star rating, an Editors’ Choice award, and one of the lower prices on this list, the Hisense U8N offers tremendous value for an outstanding QLED panel, while the similarly rated LG Evo G5 is the best high-end OLED TV we’ve tested. We have a range of excellent big-screen TVs for all budgets, so read on for more of our top picks.

Best OLED TV
LG Evo G5 OLED TV (77-Inch)
- Incredibly bright

LG Evo G5 OLED TV (77-Inch) Review
Best Cheap Big-Screen TV
Hisense 85U6N (85-Inch)
- Excellent color performance
- Very strong contrast with deep blacks
- Feature-packed Google TV interface
- Supports Apple AirPlay and Google Cast
- Hands-free Google Assistant voice control
- Affordable
- Irritating LEDs when the microphone is muted
The Hisense U6N isn’t the best big-screen TV on the market, but it’s easily the best for the price. This TV sits squarely in the budget range, with an official “everyday price” of $1,300 for the 85-inch version. That’s incredibly cheap for a huge TV. Like most budget-minded TVs, it isn’t super bright, but its contrast is relatively strong and its colors are wide and accurate. It also has many useful features like Apple AirPlay and hands-free Google Assistant.
Get it if you want a massive screen that looks good for a low price. If you want a slightly smaller screen and you’re considering the 75-inch 75U6N, note that it uses an IPS panel rather than a VP panel like the other U6N screen sizes. This is a big enough difference that we can’t reasonably predict its performance based on the testing we performed on the VP model. It doesn’t mean the 75U6N is better or worse than the other screen sizes, only that we haven’t assessed its picture quality.

Best 98-Inch TV
Hisense 98UX (98-Inch)
- Extremely bright
- Excellent color accuracy
- Google TV with hands-free Google Assistant
- Apple AirPlay
- 4.2.2-channel speaker system
- Competitively priced
At $8,000, the 98-inch Hisense 98UXpretty pricey, but for the money, you get a screen just two inches shy of an even 100 inches with one of the brightest pictures we’ve tested, along with a same 4.2.2-channel spatial audio speaker system.
If you want to splurge on a massive TV, the 98UX should be high on your list. It’s big and packs plenty of power in terms of both light and sound output.

Best Big-Screen Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini-LED (85-Inch)
- Bright picture with balanced color and strong contrast
- Hands-free Alexa integration
- Supports Apple AirPlay 2
- 120Hz with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
- Color gamut isn’t as wide as competitors

This is the best big screen for anyone who uses Alexa and has built their smart home around the voice assistant because it gives you the same functionality on your TV. It’s also a strong budget pick for gamers.

Best Ultra-Big-Screen TV
Hisense 110UX Championship Edition ULED TV
- Huge
- Incredibly bright
- Excellent color and contrast
- Allows for hands-free Google Assistant voice control
- Supports Apple AirPlay and Google Cast
- 4.2.2-channel speaker system
- 144Hz refresh rate
At 110 inches, the Hisense 110UX is one of the biggest TVs we’ve reviewed. At $20,000, it’s also one of the most expensive. For the price, you get a massive screen that can put out a record-breaking 10,000-plus nits of light under certain circumstances, plus a 4.2.2-channel speaker system, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a few NBA-themed design flourishes and digital extras.
This is a dream TV for basketball fans or anyone who wants a huge screen without setting up a projection system. It’s definitely a splurge, but it’s worth considering if you can afford it.

Best Roku TV
Roku Pro Series TV (75-Inch)
- Bright, colorful picture
- Simple, accessible smart TV platform
- Hands-free voice search and TV control
- Works with Roku smart home devices
- No full voice assistant
- Remote no longer has a headphone jack
Roku has found its stride in TVs with its flagship Pro Series, with a very bright picture and strong contrast thanks to its mini-LED backlight system, plus a 120Hz refresh rate with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for gamers.
Roku’s smart TV platform is appealing for its simplicity and accessibility. It’s very content-centric, and so it doesn’t have a full voice assistant or an interface built around serving as a whole-home hub like most other platforms. The Roku Pro Series is the best out of the Roku TVs, and a good choice if you don’t want the more complicated features of Fire TV, Google TV, or webOS.

Brightest Big-Screen TV
TCL QM8 Class TV (85-Inch)
- Extremely bright
- Excellent contrast
- Plenty of gaming features
- Supports Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and hands-free Google Assistant
- Colors are slightly warm out of the box
- Slight light bloom
The TCL QM8 Class (QM851G, the 2024 line) is the brightest TV we’ve ever tested in the lab. It also looks generally excellent, with wide and generally accurate colors, and features 120Hz refresh rate with 144Hz VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.
If 75 inches isn’t big enough for you, but you don’t want to spend more than $3,000 on a TV with a great picture, the 85-inch QM8 Class belongs on your shopping list. It’s an all-around strong big-screen TV that won’t break the bank.

Buying Guide: The Best 75-Inch (and up) TVs for 2025
A note about the TVs here: Generally, different size TVs in the same line offer similar performance. We typically test one screen size in a TV’s line and extrapolate its performance to additional sizes unless there are specific specs that indicate its capabilities aren’t similar. For TVs where we’ve tested another screen size, a note in the review indicates which specific model our observations are based on.
Is a 75-Inch (or Bigger) TV Too Big?
When you’re shopping for a supersized TV, it’s important to keep space in mind. Check the measurements of the TV and confirm that you can place it where you want in your home. If you’re planning to put it on top of a piece of furniture like a console, make sure the surface is wide enough for the TV’s feet, which may be set far apart for stability.
If you’re planning to mount a 75- or 85-inch TV on a wall, check the weight and make sure you get the proper mount size—and that your wall can support it. Keep in mind that big TVs can easily weigh 100 pounds, so you need a strong mount and an extra hand to install it.
For more on this, see our guide on how to choose the right TV screen size.

Is It Worth Buying a 4K Projector Instead?
Rear-projection TVs might be dead, but projectors aren’t. Projectors are still the most popular way to set up extra-large, 100-inch-plus screens. Their pictures aren’t nearly as bright as LCD TVs, and they can’t offer the same contrast as LCDs or OLEDs, but they are a lot more scalable. If you want to spend the cash, a good projector or array of projectors can make a picture as big as you want, from comfortably couch-sized to IMAX levels and beyond.
How PCMag Tests TVs
You can find 1080p projectors for a few hundred dollars, but you should expect to pay at least $1,000 to $3,000 for one that can produce 4K, and that’s at the absolute lowest. Relatively small home theater projectors in this price range can produce over 300-inch pictures, but remember that the bigger the screen, the more the same amount of light (at least, if the lamp is maxed out) has to cover; this results in a dimmer picture. You can get brighter and bigger projectors as well, with prices easily hitting the tens of thousands of dollars, with the option to align multiple projectors together for really big screens or to get super bright.
Projectors are tricky, though. You need to place them properly, align the lens to cover the desired screen size and shape, and make sure there are no obstructions between the projector and the screen. You also likely need a good screen. Because projectors aren’t as bright as LED-backlit LCD TVs, you want every bit of light that hits the screen to bounce off correctly into your eyes. That’s why screens are an important part of a projector-based home theater, with a variety of treatments available that can range from less than $100 to well over $1,000 (and far beyond, if you customize your installation with carefully hidden motorized storage and the most advanced screen materials).
If you want an all-in-one projection setup, Hisense Laser TVs offer an easy 100-inch-plus option. These are front-projection systems that combine a short throw projector about the size of a small coffee table, with an included fixed-frame screen mounted on the wall just a few inches behind it. The most recent Laser TV, the L5H, starts at around $3,000.
How Much Does an LED Video Wall Cost?

This is where big screens get slightly confusing and extremely expensive. It’s also where TVs get much, much bigger than 75 inches. Although LED TVs are just LCD TVs with LED backlights, LED video walls are a completely different technology. They use clusters of colored light-emitting diodes to form each pixel and light it up, like OLED. The good news about LED video walls is that they can get very large. The bad news is that they have to be really big, and that’s a limiting factor if you want to fit a 4K picture in a certain space.
First, be aware that mini-LED is not the same as LED video walls. The latter option uses those individual LEDs to form pixels. Mini-LED arrays, which are becoming increasingly common on high-end LED TVs, simply consist of hundreds of white LEDs backlighting an LCD.
Digital signage commonly uses LED video walls. If you see a huge light-up sign that plays video on the side of a building, it’s probably an LED array. If you get close to it, like within 10 feet, you can probably see the individual pixels from each relatively large LED cluster. They’re great for stadiums but not for home theaters.
That’s changing with miniaturized LEDs, like Samsung’s microLED video wall and Sony’s Crystal LED wall. These newer video walls have pixel pitches of 0.8 to 1.2mm, which means the pixels are small enough that you can sit comfortably back and not notice the individual lights. They’re still huge pixels compared with LCD and OLED TVs (a 4K 80-inch TV has pixels less than 0.5mm across), but they’re much smaller than the big commercial signs with lights as big as your fist.
Recommended by Our Editors
Video walls are also rare and wildly expensive. You won’t find them on Amazon or at Best Buy. They’re largely designed for commercial installations, which means being a business that needs and can afford to put up a massive video wall. They’re supposedly available (or will eventually be available) for consumer use, but the consumers in these cases probably own mansions.
Where Is the Best Place to Buy a Big-Screen TV?
If you want a big LCD or OLED TV, the answer is pretty simple: Go to your local electronics retailer or shop online. Huge flat panels are available through many stores as well as via direct purchase from manufacturers. Want a 77-inch OLED? Hit up Amazon or Best Buy online, drop the cash, and wait for it to arrive. If you want to go bigger, especially past the 90-inch mark, you might need to find a specialty retailer, though.
Projectors are also readily available to consumers, to an extent. If you want to buy an entry-level or midrange home theater projector (plus a screen) and set it all up yourself, you can. If you’re planning to spend tens of thousands of dollars to put together a first-class home theater, though, talk to an expert. Home theater installers, also known as custom installers, specialize in purchasing and setting up your projection system and speaker system, and may even work out the construction and electrical details for your dream home theater. High-end home theater equipment is usually only available through such installers, who also double as AV dealers; the top-end projectors aren’t typically on store shelves.
As for LED video walls, that’s trickier. You have to contact Samsung or Sony directly or find a contractor who can deliver and properly install LED arrays. Samsung recently launched one-piece consumer microLED TVs (though you won’t find them at your typical Best Buy).
If all you want is a big TV, though, a flat panel is largely the way to go. To that end, you can’t go wrong with any of the top models here. And no matter which TV you get, make sure to check out our guides on the best picture settings for your favorite movies, shows, and games.
