The 5 Best 4k TVs Under $1,000 - Fall 2019
Reviews

The Hisense 65H9F is the best 65 inch TV under $1,000 we've tested. It's an impressive TV for almost any use, with great picture quality, excellent motion handling, and remarkably low input lag, which is great for gaming or use as a PC monitor. It can display a wide color gamut and supports most common input formats, but only at 60Hz, despite the 120Hz panel.

This TV has an impressive dark room performance, thanks to the excellent contrast ratio and local dimming support. It can get very bright and can easily fight the glare of any room. When in HDR, it displays vivid colors and bright highlights thanks to its great HDR peak brightness levels. It runs the Android TV 8.0 interface that gives access to Google Play Store where you'll find any app you need. Unfortunately, the image deteriorates when viewed from the side, just like most VA panel TVs, and gray uniformity is just decent.

Overall, this is a great TV that anyone would be happy with.

The best TV under $1,000 with Roku is the TCL 6 Series/65R625 2019. It's an impressive TV with great picture quality. It delivers deep uniform blacks in a dark room thanks to the high native contrast ratio, good local dimming support, and outstanding black uniformity. It has good motion handling and an exceptionally low input lag, which makes the TV a great choice for gaming. It can get very bright in SDR and will easily fight bright room glare. The fans of HDR movies will enjoy the latest HDR content with vivid colors and bright highlights thanks to its wide color gamut and high HDR peak brightness. Finally, it runs the latest version of the Roku TV smart platform that has an outstanding number of streaming channels that will cover any need.

Unfortunately, there are a few motion artifacts in some scenes and some noticeable dirty screen effect that might bother sports fans. Also, just like most TVs with VA panels, the image loses accuracy when viewed from the side.

Overall, however, if you're a fan of the Roku TV platform, this TV will keep you happy.

If you want the best value for size for under $1,000, then get the TCL 4 Series 2019/75S425. It doesn't have the great overall performance of the Hisense H9F, but it's a decent 75 inch 4k TV that's usually around or less than $1,000. It has a decent picture quality and a high contrast ratio that can deliver deep blacks in a dark room, but lacks the support from a local dimming feature. It has a very low input lag and feels very responsive when used for gaming or as a PC monitor, but can't get very bright, so it's more suitable for average lit rooms.

It runs the same Roku TV smart platform like higher-end models like the TCL 6 Series/R625 2019, but just like most VA panel TVs, the image deteriorates fast when viewed from the side, so it's not the best choice if you have a room with a wide seating arrangement.

Overall, this is a decent TV that delivers good value for the size.
