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, thanks to the nearly instantaneous response time that delivers crisp motion and fast-moving content with almost no blur. Although this creates stutter in movies, you can activate the TV's motion interpolation feature, which can help. The TV supports HDMI 2.1, which currently doesn't add much but makes the TV more future-proof. The input lag is very low, and there is support for the HDMI Forum variable refresh rate technology for nearly tear-free gaming. Although this feature is currently only supported on Xbox One, it's unlikely that it will 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.

The best 65 inch TV for under $1,500 is the Vizio P Series Quantum PQ65-F1. You won't get the wide viewing angles of the LG 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.

The best 75 inch TV under $1,500 is the TCL 6 Series/75R617. You won't get the same great picture quality as the Vizio P Series Quantum or the perfect blacks of the LG B9. On the upside, this is a great TV with impressive picture quality and good motion handling. It offers a good dark room performance, thanks to the high native contrast ratio and local dimming support. It has a wide color gamut and can get very bright both in SDR and in HDR. This TV can deliver great HDR performance with vivid colors and highlights that pop. The response time is very fast, and fast-moving content looks good with little motion blur trail. Gamers will appreciate the low input lag, which makes the TV feels very responsive.

Just like most VA panel TVs, it has poor viewing angles and isn't the best choice if you frequently walk around the room while you watch TV or you have a wide seating arrangement. Finally, some demanding sports fans might be bothered by the TV's dirty screen effect.

Overall, this is an impressive 75" TV for under $1,500 and most people will be happy with their choice.
