Best 75-inch TVs in 2026

We reviewed the best 75- and 77-inch TVs for picture quality, design, usability, and value, including the Samsung S90F OLED and TCL QM6K QLED.

Big-screen TVs are more popular and affordable than ever. I have a 75-inch TV in my own living room, and I love the level of immersion it brings to movies, video games, and sports. But a big display doesn't guarantee a good picture on its own. The gap in quality across different models is greater than you might expect. That's why I put together this guide to the best 75-inch TVs (plus a few 77-inch sets) that are actually worth the money.

My team and I reviewed popular TV models from every brand to find 75-inch options for different needs and budgets. Our testing methodology takes image quality, design, usability, and overall value into account. For most people, the Samsung S90F is hard to beat. Its OLED panel delivers deep black levels and rich colors that really shine on a screen this large. But if you want something more affordable, the TCL QM6K is a great value at under $1,000. It can't match the S90F's contrast, but its QLED display still delivers impressive color, and its Google TV interface is smooth and easy to use.

I've also included 75-inch TVs that prioritize top-tier picture quality, as well as models that crank up the brightness for rooms with lots of light. My recommendations include both 75-inch QLEDs and 77-inch OLEDs, as the small size difference is simply a result of how each panel is manufactured. Some brands also sell slightly smaller 70-inch TVs, but they're limited to a few entry-level models that didn't make the cut for this guide.

Best overall

When it comes to balancing performance and price, Samsung's S90F OLED stands out as the best 77-inch TV on the market.

The S90F utilizes a QD-OLED panel, which combines pixel-level contrast control with the rich color range of quantum dots. The result is deep, inky black levels and vibrant hues. In dark rooms, the S90F avoids the washed-out grays that plague many QLED and LED sets. Black levels rise slightly with the lights on, but not enough to be distracting.

Samsung's quantum dot tech also helps the S90F produce a brighter image than comparable LG OLEDs. During testing, our reviewer measured a peak brightness of around 1,460 nits, which is excellent for a midrange OLED. That brightness makes HDR movies and shows pop, with crisp highlights and nuanced color that closely match the performance of more expensive models.

The Samsung S90F is one of the brand's top midrange OLED models.

Viewing angles are another strong point: you can sit off to the side without noticeable loss of color or contrast. That's something that QLED and LED TVs can't match. Gamers will love the 120Hz refresh rate (144Hz with a PC), which ensures smooth motion with the PS5, Xbox Series X, or Switch 2. Additionally, Samsung's built-in Xbox app lets Game Pass members stream titles directly to the TV without a console.

Samsung's Tizen smart TV platform offers every major streaming app and runs smoother than it has on older models. That said, the interface's organization is a bit clumsy compared to the more intuitive designs of rivals like Google TV and Roku.

As with all Samsung TVs, the S90F doesn't support Dolby Vision, an advanced HDR format used by many streaming services. While Dolby Vision can deliver slightly more accurate HDR performance, the difference is subtle, so its absence isn't a dealbreaker. For more information, check out my HDR TV guide.

Buyers should note that Samsung also has a 2026 version of this TV, the S90H. My team tested the S90H, and it offers similar performance, but costs more. The biggest difference is that the S90H has a glare-free screen coating, which reduces reflections but lowers contrast in bright rooms. With that in mind, the cheaper S90F remains my recommendation for most needs.

Best entry-level

The TCL QM6K is easily one of the best 75-inch TVs on a budget. This QLED display features a Mini LED backlight with local dimming and wide color capabilities. Those features are often missing on competing TVs in this class.

As a result, the QM6K offers better image quality than a lot of its rivals. When reviewing the set, I loved the TV's rich colors. It also offered solid contrast with excellent backlight control. Most budget TVs feature washed-out black levels or halos around bright objects, but the QM6K does a great job of minimizing these flaws.

The TCL QM6K is a budget-friendly TV that doesn't skimp on picture quality and gaming features.

The TV also gets decently bright for such an affordable display. I measured a peak of around 557 nits on a 10% HDR test pattern and around 763 nits on a 50% test pattern. That's enough to provide a good entry-level HDR picture. However, this is the dimmest TV in this guide, so it's not the best fit for rooms with a lot of light. Viewing angles are also a bit limited, as image quality degrades when you sit off-center. That said, this has improved compared to older models in the series.

Another improvement comes in the TV's gaming capabilities. The QM6K is one of the most affordable 75-inch TVs that supports a 144Hz refresh rate. This is a cool perk for PC gamers who want smoother motion during gameplay. I was also impressed by the QM6K's Google TV interface. In the past, I've run into glitches and lag on some TCL Google TVs, but the QM6K was snappy and free from any notable bugs.

Best premium OLED

The LG G5 is one of the company's top high-end TVs, delivering the deep black levels and infinite contrast ratio that all OLEDs are known for. However, what sets this model apart from other options is its exceptionally high brightness.

During my review, the G5 hit 2,410 nits in HDR Filmmaker Mode. That's the second-highest measurement I've recorded on an OLED, and only behind the more expensive Samsung S95H. Now, it's essential to keep in mind that only certain HDR movies and TV shows are mastered to take advantage of such high brightness, but when paired with the right content, the G5 is stunning.

Specular highlights — explosions, reflections, lightning, sunsets — pop with incredible impact, and because it's still an OLED, you get pixel-level contrast without backlight issues like blooming. Some QLEDs can get even brighter, but they can't match the G5's ability to harness its brightness so precisely. Visit our QLED vs OLED comparison for more details.

The G5's picture capabilities are nearly unmatched.

The result is an outstanding image: in a dark room, black levels blend seamlessly into the background, while bright elements shine cleanly and accurately. Wide viewing angles and a 165Hz refresh rate for PC gaming round out the G5's performance perks.

Design-wise, the G5 looks sleek and comes with a mount that hangs nearly flush against your wall. However, it doesn't include a traditional stand, so you'll need to purchase one if you aren't wall-mounting.

A 2026 version of the G5, called the G6, is also available. I saw a side-by-side comparison, and the newer TV has an improved anti-reflective filter and better processing to help reduce banding. That said, the G6 is around $1,000 more than the G5. If you're a serious enthusiast without budget constraints, the pricier G6 is worth considering, but for now, the more affordable G5 remains my pick. You can learn more in my 2026 LG OLED TV roundup.

Best anti-glare screen

The Samsung S95F is a stellar QD-OLED TV that excels at addressing an all-too common annoyance for many viewers: screen reflections. Most TVs use glossy panels that create mirror-like reflections, which can make daytime viewing (especially sports) frustrating in rooms with lots of windows.

The S95F tackles that head-on with a matte-like screen that dramatically reduces glare. It's not perfect, but for anyone who battles reflections in their living room, it can feel like a revelation. In my testing, the TV performed exactly as promised, with virtually no irritating reflections.

Samsung's 77-inch S95F has a unique matte screen that significantly reduces reflections.

There is a tradeoff, though. That matte finish lifts black levels. In a dark environment, the S95F's black levels look pitch-perfect, but with the lights on, darker scenes take on a slightly gray, hazy appearance. Glossy screens — like those used on every other TV in this guide — maintain deeper black levels in bright rooms, but they also reflect more light. Ultimately, choosing between the S95F's matte approach and a traditional glossy panel depends on which you find more bothersome: reflections or lower contrast.

Beyond the anti-glare feature, the S95F delivers impressive performance across the board. I measured peak brightness at 2,170 nits, which is top-tier for an OLED. It also supports a 165Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth PC gaming and features a premium design that routes inputs through a separate connection box, rather than cluttering the TV's rear panel.

Samsung also sells an improved 2026 model, called the S95H. The new TV gets even brighter, features a metal frame, and adds access to Samsung's Art Store. The cheaper S95F remains the best value for most people, but the S95H's improvements make it a better choice for enthusiasts who don't mind paying extra.

Best QLED for brightness

The QM8K is an impressive QLED that rivals top models from Sony and Samsung but costs considerably less. Most notably, it's one of the best 75-inch TVs for a high-brightness image.

Like TCL's budget-friendly QM6K, this pricier flagship model uses a QLED panel with Mini LED local dimming. However, the QM8K has a more advanced backlight with additional dimming zones, enabling it to deliver a significantly brighter image and better black levels.

Our reviewer measured a peak brightness of 3,648 nits on a 10% window, making the QM8K the brightest TV in this guide and one of the brightest TVs on the market. Of course, raw luminance on a test pattern is meaningless if the TV can't control its light well when displaying actual content. Thankfully, the QM8K can control its brightness to deliver fantastic HDR image quality. This also helps it overcome glare in rooms with ambient light.

The QM8K is one of the brightest 75-inch TVs on the market.

The TV also impressed our reviewer with some of the best contrast control he's seen on a Mini LED TV. Halos around subtitles were absent, and blooming was minimal in various test scenes. OLED TVs still offer more precise contrast, but the QM8K QLED holds its own well.

The QM8K's viewing angles are also solid for a QLED. Color and contrast still degrade a bit off-center, but not to the point that the picture looks dramatically washed out. Again, OLED TVs still have an edge here, but the difference isn't as significant as it used to be.

Gaming capabilities are also excellent, with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. However, the QM8K isn't capable of 165Hz, which is a feature supported by a few competing TVs, such as the LG G5 and Hisense U8QG.

If you're looking for a premium 75-inch QLED with excellent contrast control and brightness, the QM8K is a fantastic buy. However, shoppers should note that TCL also sells a newer version of this TV, called the QM8L. I tested the 75-inch QM8L, and it offers similar brightness while delivering a wider color range thanks to TCL's new SQD technology. The QM8L is an impressive TV, but I still give the edge to the QM8K since it costs less.

How we test 75-inch TVs

We use meters and calibration software to evaluate TVs, along with real-world content during day-to-day viewing.

We picked the best 75-inch TVs through hands-on testing with various display models. We've been reviewing home entertainment products for over 10 years and used that expertise to inform our testing parameters and requirements.

When evaluating TVs, we typically review the 65-inch size, as it's the industry's flagship tier. However, overall performance for a specific TV model usually remains the same across sizes. For example, a 77-inch LG G5 OLED and a 65-inch G5 OLED have the same specifications. The only difference is the panel's size. As such, most test results for 65-inch TVs also apply to their 75- and 77-inch counterparts.

However, some QLED displays with local dimming, like the TCL QM6K and QM8K, have more zones in larger screen sizes than in smaller ones. This can cause slight differences in contrast performance, but not enough to alter our overall takeaway. In rare cases, some TV models have more dramatic differences across sizes. We consider these differences when recommending displays and note them when applicable.

When we test TVs, we evaluate picture clarity, color quality, contrast performance, peak HDR brightness, gaming features, navigation speed, off-axis viewing capabilities, and overall value. To measure brightness and color, we use a meter in combination with a pattern generator and the Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark 4K Blu-ray disc.

Test patterns are great for objective measurements, but watching real-world content is the only way to fully evaluate how a TV looks. We sample a variety of shows and movies to assess how a display performs in both dark and bright environments. Part of our evaluation involves watching the same assortment of scenes on each TV we review to compare performance. Sequences are chosen to show off HDR highlights, shadow detail, black levels, upscaling, and motion. We also vary the quality of our material to assess how a TV handles 4K, 1080p, and standard definition (SD) programs from Blu-ray discs, streaming services, and cable TV. Gaming capabilities are also tested using a PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Steven Cohen, senior tech editor: I lead tech product coverage for Business Insider's Reviews team, and I've spent years testing all kinds of TVs. I studied filmmaking, too, so I'm a bit obsessive about picture quality. I want movies and shows to look the way the creators intended. My team and I use professional calibration tools, pattern generators, and benchmark discs to measure brightness and color accuracy, but numbers alone only tell part of the story. I also use every TV I review the way you would at home — streaming, watching movies, gaming, and channel surfing — to see how it really performs day to day. The picks in this guide stood out not just in lab tests but also in real-world use.

75-inch TV FAQs

Samsung's R95H Micro RGB TV delivers incredible color performance, but we prefer the higher contrast you get from the brand's OLEDs.

Is 75 inches a good size for a TV?

A 75-inch screen is an excellent option for filling a large space or providing an immersive experience in a smaller room. Big screen sizes fill more of your field of view, so your eyes can focus on the image and not your surroundings. This creates a viewing experience that's closer to what you'd get in a movie theater.

Many of our favorite TVs are sold in 75 or 77 inches, so you have plenty of options. Some brands are also starting to use 75 inches as the entry point for their most advanced models. For instance, the new TCL X11L SQD TV isn't available in smaller sizes.

That said, you need to consider certain logistics when buying a large TV. You'll need a stand or mount that can accommodate the width and weight of a 75-inch TV. Visit our guides to the best TV stands and best TV wall mounts, where we have several picks that can fit large displays.

Meanwhile, if you don't have the space for a 75-inch TV, check out our guides to smaller TV sizes:

Do we recommend 75-inch RGB LED TVs?

Not yet, but they're definitely on our radar. RGB LED is a new display type that uses separate red, green, and blue LEDs in its backlight. As a result, these TVs have the potential to produce a wider range of color than you'd get on a typical QLED, Mini LED, or OLED display.

Different brands offer variations of the tech, and many use different names to market it. For example, Samsung calls its version Micro RGB, Hisense uses RGB Mini LED, and Sony calls its tech True RGB. They're all chasing a similar goal, but performance can vary.

We'll be testing RGB LED TVs throughout 2026 to see whether any deserve a spot in this guide. So far, we've had an early look at the Samsung R95H, and its color performance is the best we've seen. But based on our initial testing, its contrast and brightness weren't quite good enough to earn a top spot.

For now, we're not recommending any 75-inch RGB LED TVs in this guide, but that will likely change once we test more models and prices come down. For more details on RGB backlighting, check out our first look at Sony's True RGB tech and our RGB LED vs. Mini LED TV comparison.

Should you buy a 2026 or 2025 75-inch TV?

In most cases, 2025 TV models still offer a better value than 2026 options. Brands such as Samsung, LG, TCL, Sony, and Hisense have all launched new TVs for 2026, but they cost more than their 2025 counterparts. Though many 2026 TVs offer improved performance, the difference is rarely dramatic enough to justify their increased cost. This will change later in the year as 2025 TVs sell out and 2026 TV prices come down, but for now, most people are better off snagging a 2025 75-inch TV while it's available at a discount.

Why are some TVs offered in 75 inches and others in 77 inches?

This comes down to how the panels are made. Traditional LED, QLED, and Mini LED TVs are commonly produced in 75-inch sizes, while OLED panels are typically manufactured in 77-inch sizes. In real-world use, though, the two-inch difference is minimal, as you're essentially getting the same big-screen experience either way.

Do brands sell 70-inch TVs?

Though increasingly uncommon, some brands do sell 70-inch TV models. Notably, Samsung, LG, Insignia, and Walmart's Onn brand all offer 70-inch options in their current lineups. However, that size is typically limited to a few entry-level options. Top TVs usually skip the 70-inch size and are instead sold in 65-inch and 75-inch/77-inch models. We generally recommend that shoppers focus on TVs available in those sizes instead.

How much should you spend on a 75-inch TV?

Depending on the performance class you choose, the best 75-inch TVs can cost between $600 and $5,000.

Budget-friendly 75-inch QLED TVs, such as the TCL QM6K, are sometimes available for as low as $700. Midrange QLED options with higher brightness typically sell for $800 to $1,400, while high-end models start at around $1,800.

If you want an OLED TV (made in 77 inches rather than 75), you'll need to pay a bit more. The cheapest 77-inch OLED TVs start at around $1,500, while premium options can cost over $4,000.

The best 75-inch and 77-inch TVs often go on sale, but the biggest discounts typically appear during shopping events like Black Friday and Prime Day, as well as around major sporting events like the Super Bowl and March Madness.

For cheaper TV recommendations in smaller sizes, check out our guide to the best TVs under $500.

Do I need HDMI 2.1 for a 75-inch TV?

If you're a gamer with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, we recommend ensuring that any TV you buy has HDMI 2.1 ports. HDMI 2.1 enables 4K at 120Hz and smoother motion with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). All of our picks for the best 75-inch TVs support HDMI 2.1.

Do 75-inch TVs have good sound quality?

Even the best 75-inch TVs have mediocre built-in audio performance. Some of our pricier recommendations, such as the LG G5, offer better clarity and slightly more bass than our entry-level picks, like the TCL QM6K. However, they still lack the depth and range that you'd get with a separate audio system.

Companies typically build their displays with small speaker drivers to keep costs down and maintain slim screens, resulting in poor low-frequency performance and overall fidelity. For better sound quality, we recommend purchasing a separate soundbar or surround sound system, especially one that supportsDolby Atmos.
