The 5 Best 4k TVs Under $1,000 - Winter 2020
Reviews

The best 65 inch TV under $1,000 we've tested so far is the Hisense 65H9F. This is a great TV for almost any use. It has a VA panel with outstanding contrast ratio, wide color gamut support, and very good peak brightness, making HDR content a truly enjoyable experience. With the help of full array local dimming, it can produce deep inky blacks, which is great for those who like to watch in a dark room. Unfortunately, this TV does suffer from bad viewing angles, as images appear washed out when viewed from the side.

As it runs on Android TV, you have access to the Google Play Store for almost anything you need. The interface is clean and easy to use, and you can even control the TV using the Google Assistant or Alexa. Additionally, its low input lag should satisfy most gamers, however, the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz and there's no support for any variable refresh rate technology.

Overall, if you're on the market for an all-around great TV, this should be at the top of your list.

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.
