The 5 Best 4k TVs Under $1,500 - Winter 2020
Reviews

The LG OLED55B9 is the best TV under $1,500 we’ve tested so far. This outstanding OLED TV delivers 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, this is a remarkable TV with outstanding performance in most uses and is the best 4k TV under $1,500.

The Vizio P Series Quantum X 2019 PX65-G1 is the best 65 inch TV for less than $1,500. The Vizio doesn't have the perfect blacks or the wide viewing angles found on the LG B9 OLED, and its smart platform isn't as good. However, it's a larger TV that delivers a great picture quality with deep blacks thanks to the high native contrast ratio and effective local dimming support. Motion is crisp due to the fast response time, and the input lag is very low to please even competitive gamers. This is one of the brightest TVs and you can easily place it in a very bright room. Finally, when in HDR, the TV displays a wide color gamut with highlights that pop.

On the downside, just like most VA panel TVs, the image loses accuracy when viewed from the side and it's not the best option if you often watch sports with a group of friends.

Overall, however, this is an excellent TV that'll keep you happy.

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 X 2019, 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.
