Not too long ago, TVs in the 70- to 77-inch range were very expensive, but that's changed in the past few years. However, there are not many 70-inch models available if you're looking for that exact size, and the TVs that are available in that specific size tend to be cheap models with mediocre picture quality, so you're very limited if you're looking for the best 70-inch TV. It's much easier to find the best 75-inch TV, as that's the most common size for LED models, while OLEDs are always released in 77-inch models instead.
Looking for the right TV for your needs depends on your budget and your usage. Although it's hard to find the perfect TV, you likely want one that's bright enough to use in a room with your lights on and has good enough black levels that it looks good in a dark room. If you're looking for a TV to use in your home theater, you might also want certain features like Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and DTS audio passthrough so you don't run into compatibility issues. If you're a gamer with a modern console or PC, you likely want modern gaming features like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 120Hz, and VRR. By meticulously testing dozens of TVs each year, we're able to determine what TVs fit these criteria. If you're unsure of what size TV to get, check out our TV Size to Distance Calculator to help decide.

The best 77-inch TV we've tested is the Samsung QN77S90DAFXZA. This TV delivers impressive picture quality, with an incredibly wide color range in HDR and bright, vibrant highlights. It looks amazing in a dark room thanks to its nearly infinite contrast ratio, so there's no distracting blooming around bright areas of dark scenes or subtitles. It also overcomes glare from pesky light sources thanks to its good SDR brightness and exceptional reflection handling, so it still looks great in a bright room.
It's a well-rounded option that delivers fantastic gaming performance. It has very low input lag, ensuring a smooth, responsive gaming experience. Like all OLED TVs, its nearly instantaneous response time results in crystal-clear motion with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. It has a great selection of gaming features, including variable refresh rate (VRR) support and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for up to 4k @ 144Hz gaming, so you can take full advantage of modern gaming consoles and gaming PCs. You'll just have to do some work to make sure you get a QD-OLED panel.
The Sony K-75XR90 is the best 75-inch TV for bright rooms. Its superb SDR brightness and reflection handling make it easily overcome glare in the brightest of rooms, so you aren't distracted by reflections on your TV screen in a room with all the lights on or on a bright sunny day with the curtains open. It doesn't display the same perfect blacks as an OLED like the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED, but it still looks great in a dark room and displays very deep blacks with only very minor blooming. It's also a great option for a home theater due to its support for Dolby Vision and DTS audio formats.
The Sony's image processing is excellent for upscaling and smoothing out low-quality content. Unfortunately, unlike an OLED like the S90D, its viewing angle is only mediocre. It's not the best option if you regularly watch shows or movies with a big group of friends. However, it's a great option if you need a TV that pairs well with modern consoles. It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, up to 4k @ 120Hz, and it supports VRR, so it's fully compatible with modern consoles. On top of those features, the TV has a quick response time for minimal blur behind fast motion, although the blur is more noticeable than what you see on an OLED.
The best mid-range 77-inch TV is the LG OLED77C4PUA. It's a fantastic TV with stunning picture quality. It's an incredible TV for watching movies in a dark room thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, resulting in inky blacks with no distracting blooming around bright objects. HDR content looks incredible thanks to its wide color range, and it gets bright enough for small highlights to stand out well in HDR content, but they're less bright and colorful than on the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED. It's also a great choice for wide seating areas as the wide viewing angle makes the image look consistent from the sides, so everyone sees the same image.
Unfortunately, the C4 is sold for about the same price as the slightly better Samsung. While the Samsung is brighter and more colorful due to its QD-OLED panel, the LG does have some other advantages. It has better image processing overall, supports Dolby Vision HDR, and passes through advanced DTS audio formats. This makes the LG an interesting TV for home theater fans. Like the S90D, it's also great for gamers with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 120Hz, VRR, and a nearly instantaneous response time.
The best mid-range TV available in a 77-inch size is the LG OLED77B4PUA. It's a great option and can serve as an excellent entry point into the OLED market. It has almost all of the more expensive LG C4 OLED features but is dimmer in HDR and doesn't support 144Hz. It still delivers outstanding picture quality, especially in a dark room, with its near-infinite contrast ratio delivering inky blacks with no distracting blooming. Its image processing is slightly worse than it is on the C4, but it still has no issues upscaling lower-resolution content. It also has Dolby Vision HDR and supports DTS advanced audio formats, which is great for movie buffs.
And just like other OLEDs, its viewing angle is fantastic, so viewers can watch the B4 from all over the room with no degradation in their viewing experience. Like the C4, this TV has a wide range of colors, so it delivers vibrant and lifelike colors. It's also great for gaming, as it's compatible with every VRR technology and has a nearly instantaneous response time. Its four HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 4k @ 120Hz, so it's fully compatible with the Xbox Series X and the PS5.
The TCL QM7/QM751G QLED is the best 75-inch TV in the lower mid-range category. Although it's less advanced than the more expensive options on this list, it still delivers great overall picture quality. It has excellent black levels in dark rooms, helped by a good local dimming solution. The TCL also has excellent peak brightness and decent enough reflection handling to overcome glare, so it's no slouch in a bright room.
It supports Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10+ formats, as well as advanced DTS audio formats, so you can take full advantage of whatever content you're watching. Unfortunately, it has a narrow viewing angle, so it's best viewed from directly in front. The TV has a great selection of additional gaming features, including VRR support to reduce screen tearing and up to 4k @ 144Hz on its two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports. It's an amazing TV for gamers due to its fast response time and low input lag, leading to a responsive gaming experience with only some minor blur behind fast motion.
If you don't need modern gaming features or you just want to save some money, the best budget 75-inch TV we've tested is the Hisense 75U6N. The 75-inch model uses an ADS PRO panel instead of the VA panel found in the other sizes, so its contrast isn't quite as good, but it does have a wider viewing angle. Still, the 75-inch model displays deep blacks in a dark room, and it's also bright enough to fight some glare in a well-lit room. It also displays a wide range of colors, so HDR content still has some impact. The TV supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and all major audio formats, so you're covered no matter how you watch your content.
Although the Hisense doesn't have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and is limited to 4k @ 60Hz, it supports up to 1440p @ 120Hz for those who prefer a higher frame rate over resolution. Unfortunately, the TV's VRR feature is limited to 60Hz, so you can't game in 120 fps with VRR active. It also has an excellent response time, so there's not too much blur behind fast motion. If you don't need a TV that's fully compatible with modern gaming consoles, the U6/U6N is a great option.
The TCL Q6/Q651G QLED is a great TV from TCL and directly competes with the Hisense U6/U6N. The Hisense is the better TV overall due to its much better contrast and brightness, but the TCL is interesting for gamers since its VRR feature works at 1080p and 1440p @ 120Hz.
See our reviewThe Hisense 75U8N is a great TV and a good alternative if you can't afford the Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED. The Hisense has a slightly wider color gamut than the BRAVIA 9, it supports 144Hz for PC gamers with higher-end graphics cards, and it has lower input lag. However, the BRAVIA 9 has significantly better contrast, is brighter in HDR, and it's better in pretty much every other aspect, so it's the better TV overall.
See our reviewThe Hisense U7N is a good alternative to the TCL QM7/QM751G QLED. You'll find us recommending the Hisense over the TCL on many other lists, but since the 75-inch U7N uses an ADS Pro panel instead of a VA panel, it doesn't provide the same picture quality as the other sizes. The 75-inch TCL has better contrast and is brighter overall, so it's the better option in this size range for most people.
See our reviewThe LG G4 OLED is a great alternative to the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED. Unlike the S90D, it supports Dolby Vision and DTS audio formats, so it's a better choice if you collect physical media or want to watch content in Dolby Vision on your favorite streaming services. It's also brighter overall. Unfortunately, its colors aren't as vibrant and it's also a lot more expensive, so the S90D is the better option for most people.
