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, the Hisense H9F is a great TV that deserves a place on your shortlist of TVs to check out.

If you're looking for the best Roku TV under $1,000, get the TCL 6 Series/65R617. This is a very good 4k TV for a wide range of uses. It has a very good picture quality and a good dark scene performance, thanks to the full-array local dimming and the high native contrast ratio that delivers deep blacks in a dark room. It has a wide color gamut and can get very bright both in SDR and in HDR. It can display HDR content with saturated colors and highlights that pop.

Motion handling is very good, and the input lag is very low, so this TV is an excellent choice for gamers. It runs the latest version of the Roku Smart TV platform. It's easy to navigate and has one of the largest collections of apps, so you're sure to find what you need. Unfortunately, just like most VA panel TVs, it has poor viewing angles and the image loses accuracy when viewed from the side.

Overall, if you like the Roku TV platform, this is a TV that'll keep you happy.

If you want the best value for size for under $1,000, then get the TCL 4 Series/75S425. It doesn't have the great overall performance of the Hisense H9F, but it's a decent 75 inch 4K TV that's 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 R617, 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.
