When it comes to the televisions today, there’s no denying that bigger is better. And while the size of the television you get will depend on your space constraints and personal preferences, we’re big fans of a 65-inch screen. The reason? It’s big but not obscene. Anything bigger than a 65-inch set and you may as well pick up a projector. Perhaps your setup is different, but most of us don’t have wall space for a 75-inch or 80-inch television. And yet, as the focal point of a living room or den, a 50-inch seems too small.
A 65-inch TV is like the Goldilocks of television sets. These TVs provide plenty of screen space for gamers, film buffs and Netflix addicts alike. And, they all boast updated features, like (minimum) 4K technology, fast processing speeds, brighter, more accurate colors, and reliable picture quality, whether you’re chasing intruders in an RPG or streaming live sports. The occasional fuzziness you get with cheaper TVs is gone, making for a smooth and vivid viewing experience. Some of our picks also let you connect it to a voice assistant, like Amazon Alexa, turning your TV into a smart home hub. And they’re all proven performers at the top of their class, packed with technical enhancements that make them worthy competitors for your TV throne.
