Our picks
The best TV under $700 β Mini-LED panel with outstanding brightness, solid local dimming, 144Hz gaming, and Google TV at a price that embarrasses premium competitors.
5,000-zone Mini-LED backlighting and 2,000 nits peak brightness at $749 makes the QM8 the best value in television β specifications that rivaled flagship TVs just two years ago.
Mini-LED brightness and Google TV at $549 β the U7N delivers 1,500 nits, three HDMI 2.1 ports, and 144Hz for first-time 4K TV buyers or households with strict budgets.
A 65-inch panel with 3,000 nits peak brightness and all four HDMI 2.1 ports for $799 β the Vizio Quantum X is the raw display performance leader at this price point.
Google TV and Dolby Vision at $299 β the TCL S5 is the definitive recommendation for bedrooms, guest rooms, and households that need a capable 4K TV on a tight budget.
Mini-LED local dimming is the biggest quality upgrade available in budget TVs β it separates bright highlights from dark areas far better than direct LED without local dimming.
Google TV offers the widest app library and best voice control. Roku OS is reliable and simple. Avoid proprietary platforms with limited app support and slow updates.
If gaming matters, prioritize HDMI 2.1 ports and 120Hz panels. VRR support for adaptive sync is a nice addition. 60Hz panels are adequate for casual gaming only.
