Though it used to be rare to find TVs so big, 75-inch displays are now available from every major brand. I have a 75-inch TV in my own living room and love the sense of scope and immersion it offers for movie nights and big sports events. But you shouldn't buy just any 75-inch TV simply because it's big. Certain models offer better features, image quality, and overall value than others. To help you find the right display for your budget, I've rounded up my top five picks for the best 75-inch TVs on the market.

The Samsung S90D OLED earns my highest recommendation. The S90D provides unmatched color and contrast performance in its price range. But while it's an excellent midrange TV, the S90D isn't cheap. For budget-conscious shoppers, I recommend the Roku Plus Series QLED, which delivers solid image quality and reliable smart TV features for under $800. 

Note: LCD-based TVs (LED, QLED, Neo QLED) are often manufactured with a 75-inch screen size, but OLED displays are sold at a slightly larger 77-inch size. For that reason, I've included 77-inch OLED TVs in this guide.

Best overall

When it comes to balancing picture quality and price, Samsung's S90D OLED is the best 77-inch TV you can buy.

The S90D uses a QD-OLED screen to enable pixel-level contrast control and a wide range of colors. This gives the TV deep black levels that avoid the washed-out and uneven look that some QLED and LED sets have in dark scenes. The TV also uses quantum dot technology (where the "QD" comes from in QD-OLED), and this feature helps it produce brighter colors than similar LG OLEDs.

During my tests, I measured a peak brightness of 1,240 nits, which is excellent for a midrange OLED and 200 nits more than Samsung's previous S90C TV model. That level of brightness is more than enough to deliver fantastic high-dynamic-range (HDR) performance. HDR movies and shows look stunning, with sharp images and rich colors that come close to rivaling many pricier TVs.

You can also sit toward the side of the screen without any major loss in image quality. QLED and LED sets struggle with viewing angles, so this is a key perk of an OLED like the S90D. Gamers will appreciate the TV's high 120Hz refresh rate (144Hz with a PC), which enables smooth gameplay when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or Switch 2. Samsung TVs also have built-in access to the Xbox app. This app enables Game Pass subscribers to play games without a console via cloud streaming.

The TV's Tizen operating system is solid, with all the streaming apps you could want, but its navigation speed isn't as consistent as the best streaming devices I've reviewed. Though smooth most of the time, lag occurs here and there. I also ran into an issue with frequent notifications popping up for various updates despite disabling notifications in the menu. However, I expect this to be easily fixed in a software update.

Like all of Samsung's TVs, the S90D lacks Dolby Vision support. Dolby Vision is an HDR format that can offer a more accurate picture when playing Dolby Vision videos from apps like Disney Plus. It's a nice perk, but its benefits are subtle, so I don't consider it a must-have. Visit our HDR TV guide for more information about the pros and cons of different HDR formats.

All things considered, very few 75- and 77-inch TVs can match the S90D's performance in this price range. It's not the most affordable option out there, but if you have the budget, it's well worth the money. A 2025 version of this TV, called the S90F, is also available. The S90F is a slightly better TV, but it's a lot more expensive. For now, the 2024 version remains the best value.

Best premium set

The G5 is LG's latest flagship OLED TV. Like all OLED displays, it provides an infinite contrast ratio with deep black levels, but this model can also get exceptionally bright, beating every other OLED I've tested.

I previously recommended the Sony A95L in this spot, and though that model remains an excellent high-end TV, the G5's brightness capabilities are substantial enough to dethrone it. While the A95L peaked at around 1,500 nits in small highlights, I measured a peak of 2,410 nits on the G5 using the TV's HDR Filmmaker Mode (its most accurate setting).

That's a notable bump, and it makes a difference when watching high-brightness HDR content. Specular highlights like explosions, laser blasts, shimmering reflections, sunsets, and lightning bolts pop from the screen with a bit more impact. Though some QLED TVs can get even brighter, they lack the pixel-level contrast control that the G5's OLED panel enables. Check out our QLED vs OLED comparison for more details.

This combination of high brightness and high contrast creates a nearly flawless image with black levels that disappear into a dark room and bright elements that shine with precision, free from any backlight imperfections like blooming or vignetting. Like all OLEDs, the G5 also has wide viewing angles, so you get fantastic image quality even if you're sitting off to the side of the screen.

That said, the G5 isn't perfect. When watching some HDR videos, I did see some posterization (blocky instead of smooth gradations of shadows and colors) in a few isolated scenes. I've tested other high-end OLEDs that handle this better, but these instances were so rare and tied to such specific conditions that I don't consider it a dealbreaker. This is also something that could (but isn't guaranteed) to be improved with a future software update.

The G5 uses LG's webOS smart TV system, which is a decent platform with plenty of apps and smooth navigation. I ran into some initial glitches with the TV's voice search, but this ironed out as I tested the set more. Still, I do find other operating systems like Roku and Google TV to be more user-friendly.

Design-wise, the G5 offers an elegant look with a mount that can be hung flush on your wall with virtually no gap. But unlike LG's step-down OLED models, the G5 doesn't include a traditional stand. If wall mounting isn't an option for your room, you need to buy a TV stand separately.

Though the G5 is the current high-end OLED to beat, there are some alternatives that come close. Particularly, there's the Samsung S95F. That model can't get quite as bright, but it can produce slightly richer colors. It also has a matte screen that's great for reducing reflections but causes black levels to look washed out in bright rooms. All things considered, I give the G5 an edge for enthusiasts who want premium home theater quality.

Buyers should also note that Panasonic is set to release a similar high-end 77-inch OLED, the Z95B, later this year. However, pricing and an exact release date are still pending. I'll test the Z95B when it's available to see how it compares.

Best on a budget

If you want a 75-inch TV on a budget, you'll have to opt for a QLED rather than an OLED, and the Roku Plus Series is the best value of the bunch. The Plus Series is one of the most affordable 75-inch QLED TVs available with local dimming. Local dimming is an important feature for a QLED to have, since it allows the TV to produce more precise HDR highlights and deeper black levels. There are cheaper 75-inch TVs, but they deliver a big drop in contrast performance and a narrower range of colors.

The Plus Series produced solid black levels without too many instances of blooming (where halos appear around bright objects). However, the TV's local dimming isn't as refined as pricier models, like the Hisense U9N. As a result, there is some delayed dimming and fluctuations from time to time. That said, these issues are to be expected in this price range.

Thanks to its QLED panel, the Plus Series offers a wide range of colors and decent HDR brightness, with a peak of about 600 nits. For the best HDR performance, I recommend finding a set that can hit 1,000 nits or higher, but 600 is good for this price. The Plus Series is compatible with every HDR format, including Dolby Vision, which Samsung TVs don't support. 

I also love the Plus Series' intuitive Roku interface, which offers easy access to popular streaming services. The Roku OS (operating system) has a simple and straightforward homepage that's free from clutter. The included remote is also handy, with a built-in rechargeable battery, hands-free voice control, and a tiny speaker that can play a chime if you ever misplace it.

On the downside, the TV's viewing angles are subpar, which means colors and contrast fade if you sit to the side of the display. This is a common drawback for many QLED TVs, so I recommend opting for a pricier OLED model if that's a dealbreaker. The display is also limited to 60Hz, so it can't support 120Hz gameplay on a PS5,  Xbox Series X, or PC. But again, that's an expected tradeoff for a budget-friendly set this big. 

In many of my other TV guides, I recommend the Hisense U6N as the top budget pick instead. The U6N uses Mini LEDs, which should enable better contrast control than the Plus Series. However, the 75-inch version of the U6N uses a different panel type than other sizes, which could result in worse black-level performance. It's also become hard to find in stock. For those reasons, I give the Roku Plus Series an edge in this size.

Best bright display

Hisense's U9N is the best 75-inch TV for viewers who crave extra-high brightness capabilities. This is one of the brightest TVs I've tested, and its high luminance allows it to deliver impressive HDR images, even in rooms with lots of ambient light.

During my evaluation, I measured a peak brightness of 4,100 nits using a 2% test window and 3,200 nits with a 10% window. Those numbers blow away every other TV on this list. Now, such high brightness is only required in certain situations and when watching certain types of content, but if you need to overcome ambient light in your room or you want to get the full impact of every HDR video you watch, the U9N has you covered.

Of course, just getting bright is only one part of great image quality. To achieve good picture performance, a TV needs to be able to control its brightness with enough precision to enable high contrast. Thankfully, the U9N is able to do just that. The TV's Mini LED backlight and local dimming allow the panel to produce inky black levels, so dark scenes look wonderful in a dim home theater room.

That said, the TV's contrast still can't match that of an OLED display. Some halos and vignetting around bright objects on dark backgrounds are visible in some instances, but the U9N performs well for a TV of this type. As is the case with all QLEDs, the display's image quality does take a hit if you sit off to the side of the screen. But the U9N's viewing angles are wider than most competing QLED models.

The TV is well equipped for gaming, too, with a fast 144Hz refresh rate and VRR. However, I did notice some annoying instances of flicker when playing some PS5 games with VRR enabled. This is a common flaw on some other TVs, but it's more pronounced here than I'd like.

The U9N is also prone to some glitches here and there, including an error that led to the TV defaulting to the wrong picture mode when I watched certain sources. I also ran into an issue with the TV's HDMI 3 input when hooked up to my Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player. The player's signal would sometimes get lost, but this didn't occur on the U9N's other inputs.

Ultimately, the TV's strengths outweigh any of those issues, especially when you consider the frequent discounts the U9N receives. Those willing to spend more can get similar brightness and a more refined picture with Sony's flagship Bravia 9. But the U9N is a better value overall.

Best anti-glare model

In addition to being an excellent high-end OLED TV, the Samsung S95D has a unique feature that's ideal for solving one specific frustration: screen reflections. Though not a problem in every room, certain spaces with lots of lights and windows can be a headache for viewers since most displays have glossy screens that show lots of glare. This can be especially irritating when trying to watch sports during the day.

However, the S95D has a matte screen that nearly eliminates this issue. There are some drawbacks, but if you struggle with reflections in your room, the S95D could be a game changer. The only notable TVs with similar matte finishes are Samsung's Frame TV and QN90F, Hisense's CanvasTV, and TCL's NXTFrame TV, but those models can't match the overall image quality of the S95D. In my testing, the S95D's matte screen worked exactly as advertised, and I didn't encounter any of the typical mirror-like reflections I see on other TVs.

On the downside, the S95D's matte screen does have a negative side effect: it leads to elevated black levels in bright rooms. The S95D's black levels look perfect with the lights off, but in a bright environment, blacks can take on a slightly gray and hazy look. This is especially true when watching dimmer scenes in movies and TV shows. Glossy screens, like those used on every other TV in this guide, are much better at preserving black levels in a bright environment, but the tradeoff is that they suffer from more reflections. Ultimately, whether you prefer the S95D's matte screen over a glossy screen comes down to your needs as a viewer.

Outside its unique screen, the S95D also offers great brightness for an OLED. I measured a peak of 1,700 nits. It's also got a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth PC gaming, and a premium design that uses a separate box for inputs rather than having them built into the back of the TV. 

Samsung also sells a newer version of this TV, the S95F, which can get even brighter. However, the S95F costs a lot more, so I only recommend it to big enthusiasts. For most people, the S95D remains the better value.

How we test 75-inch TVs

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

When reviewing TVs, we focus on 65-inch options since that's the industry's flagship standard. However, overall performance for a specific TV model typically stays the same across sizes 55 inches and up. For example, a 77-inch LG G5 OLED and a 65-inch G5 OLED have the same specifications. The only major difference is the panel's size. As such, our test results for 65-inch TVs typically apply to their 75- and 77-inch counterparts. 

However, some QLED displays with local dimming, like the Roku Plus, have more zones in larger screen sizes than smaller ones. This can cause slight differences in contrast performance when comparing a 75-inch model to a 65-inch one, but not enough to change our overall takeaway. In rare cases, some TV models have more dramatic differences across sizes. We consider those differences when recommending displays and note those instances when applicable.

When we test TVs, we evaluate picture clarity, color quality, contrast performance, peak HDR brightness, gaming features, navigation speed, off-axis viewing, and general value. To measure brightness, we use an X-Rite iDisplay Plus colorimeter in combination with test patterns on 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 plenty of shows and movies to see 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 mix up the quality of our material to see how a TV handles 4K, 1080p, and standard definition (SD) programs from Blu-ray discs, streaming services, and cable TV.

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

Depending on the performance class you choose, the best 75-inch TVs can cost as little as $600 or as much as $5,000. 

Budget-friendly 75-inch QLED TVs, like the Roku Plus Series, are sometimes on sale for as low as $600. Midrange QLED options with higher brightness typically sell for $800 to $1,400, while high-end models start at around $2,500.

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 $1,800, while premium options can cost over $4,000. 

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

Should you buy a soundbar for your 75-inch TV?

Even the best 75-inch TVs often have mediocre built-in audio performance. Companies typically build their displays with small speaker drivers to keep costs down and screens slim, and this can lead to a lack of bass and overall clarity. To get more dynamic and crisp sound quality, we recommend purchasing a separate soundbar or surround sound system, especially one with Dolby Atmos support.

Check out our soundbar and speaker guides to see our top recommendations:

• Best soundbars
• Best Dolby Atmos soundbars 
• Best budget soundbars
• Best soundbars with subwoofers
• Best Sonos soundbars
• Best Bose soundbars
• Best surround sound systems

How far should you sit from a 75-inch 4K TV?

A large screen size of 75 inches enables you to sit farther away from your display while still getting an immersive experience. To start seeing the benefits of 4K resolution with an optimal field of view, the recommended distance is about one to 1.5 times the size of your TV. 

So, for a 75-inch 4K TV, you should aim to sit between 6.25 and 9.38 feet from your screen. 

However, for your eyes to be able to make out the full benefits of a 4K resolution image, you'd need to sit just 4.9 feet away from a 75-inch screen. Of course, most people don't sit that close to their displays, and you can still enjoy a 75-inch 4K TV from a greater distance.

Should you buy a 75-inch 8K TV?

Some brands, like Samsung, sell 75-inch 8K TV models. However, in most cases, 8K TVs aren't worth the extra money they cost. Outside of a few YouTube videos, there's no 8K content available to watch. Though 8K TVs benefit from upscaling and higher pixel density, which can provide a slightly sharper image if you sit very close to your screen, this benefit is subtle.

As it stands, most people are better off buying a 75-inch 4K set with high-end features than they are spending a similar amount or more on an 8K model.

That said, if you're dead set on making the jump to 8K, we suggest taking a look at the Samsung QN900D. This QLED TV delivered impressive contrast and brightness in our testing. But again, if you're willing to sacrifice resolution, we think a good 4K TV, like the 77-inch Samsung S90D, actually offers a better overall image for less money.
