The 5 Best 4k TVs Under $1,500 - Fall 2019
Reviews

The LG OLED55B9 is the best TV under $1,500 we’ve tested so far. This outstanding OLED TV delivers an excellent picture quality with perfect blacks that look amazing in a dark room. Just like all OLED TVs, it has excellent wide viewing angles that favor rooms with wide seating arrangements. HDR content has rich, saturated colors thanks to the TV's wide color gamut. This TV has remarkable motion handling, mostly due to its nearly instantaneous response time that delivers crisp motion and fast-moving content with almost no blur which, however, creates stutter. The TV has a motion interpolation feature, and a black frame insertion feature to help you adjust the appearance of motion. It supports HDMI 2.1, which currently doesn't add much but makes the TV more future-proof. Finally, the input lag is very low, and there is support for the HDMI Forum variable refresh rate technology for nearly tear-free gaming for those with an Xbox One, although it's unlikely that it'll remain an Xbox exclusive.

Unfortunately, just like all OLED TVs, it has the risk of temporary image retention and permanent burn-in. However, most people won't experience this with normal, varied use.

Overall, the LG B9 is a remarkable TV with outstanding performance in most uses, and is the best 4k TV under $1,500.

The best 65 inch TV under $1,500 is the Vizio P Series Quantum PQ65-F1. You won't get the wide viewing angles of the LG B9 OLED or the perfect blacks of the OLEDs. On the upside, this TV, apart from being an LED TV with no burn-in risk, is larger and has excellent overall performance. It has an impressive picture quality and delivers deep blacks in a dark room, thanks to its very high native contrast ratio and very good local dimming. It has an excellent wide color gamut and offers excellent HDR performance with vivid colors and highlights that pop. Motion handling is also excellent, and the low input lag will keep most gamers happy.

Unfortunately, just like most TVs with VA panels, the image loses accuracy when viewed from the side due to the poor viewing angles, so it might not be the best option for those with a room with a wide seating arrangement.

Overall, this is an excellent TV that will please most people.

If you're looking for the best 75 inch TV under $1,500, then get the TCL 6 Series/75R617 2018. It can't deliver the same great picture quality as the Vizio P Series Quantum 2018, and it doesn't have the perfect blacks of the LG B9 OLED. That said, this is an impressive TV that delivers good picture quality, deep blacks in a dark room, and can get very bright, making it suitable for any room. It has a wide color gamut and displays HDR content with vivid colors and bright highlights. It has a very fast response time, so fast-moving objects have just a little blur trail. This TV feels very responsive thanks to the very low input lag.

Unfortunately, its VA panel can't maintain an accurate image when you're watching from the side, and the amount of dirty screen effect on this TV might bother some demanding sports fans.

Overall, the TCL is a large TV that will keep most of its owners happy, and still costs less than $1,500.
