The 7 Best 70-75-77 Inch TVs - Summer 2020
Reviews

The best 70-77 inch TV that we've tested so far is the LG OLED77B9PUA. Like all OLEDs, it can produce deep, inky blacks due to its ability to turn individual pixels off, and it has very good peak brightness and reflection handling, making this TV good for both bright and dark rooms. It also supports a wide color gamut, which helps to produce vivid and saturated colors in HDR content. For gamers, this TV has excellent low input lag, an almost instantaneous response time, and support for FreeSync variable refresh rate technology. Additionally, LG has recently certified this TV as being G-SYNC compatible, for those using an NVIDIA graphics card.

There are downsides to OLED technology, though; mainly the issue of temporary image retention and permanent burn-in. While it's unlikely to experience this is normal varied use, it can be a concern if you watch the same programming with static channel logos for extended periods.

Unfortunately, OLED TVs are still very expensive in larger sizes, and this 77" TV currently sells for more than double the price of the 65" variant. That being said, if you want to invest in a very large TV and want the best picture quality you can get, this one is a great choice and is the best TV that we've tested to date.

The TV with the best color accuracy we've tested so far is the Sony XBR75X950G. This TV comes equipped with a VA panel that has a high native contrast ratio, along with a full-array local dimming that makes blacks look even better in the dark. It's impressively well-built and it can get searingly bright, enough to overcome glare and to deliver a fantastic HDR experience. At a 75 inch size, you also get Sony's 'X-Wide Angle' technology, which improves its viewing angles, although at the cost of a lower contrast ratio. The screen is decently uniform, with only the corners looking a bit darker and almost no dirty screen effect.

Color accuracy on this TV is simply outstanding and you likely won't need to calibrate it. Its gamma is nearly perfect, so you can be sure that scenes are displayed at the correct brightness. It has a 10-bit panel with excellent gradient performance and an impressive wide color gamut to deliver vibrant colors in HDR content. Response time is exceptional and it has a black frame insertion feature, resulting in clear images and very short blur trails behind fast-moving objects. Input lag is low enough for most casual gamers, but sadly, it doesn't support any variable refresh rate technology.

This TV supports Dolby Vision and eARC, allowing you to send high-quality uncompressed audio like Dolby Atmos via TrueHD through an HDMI connection. It has proper chroma 4:4:4 support if you want to use it as a large PC monitor for work meetings, and its Android TV platform is easy to use, with plenty of streaming apps available through the app store. If color accuracy is important to you, then you'll like this TV.

The best 75 inch TV in the budget category we've tested so far is the Sony XBR75X800H. It's a good choice for watching daytime TV, as it can get bright enough to fight glare, and its IPS panel has wide viewing angles, so you can walk around doing chores and still get a good-looking image. And since IPS panels are immune to burn-in, you can leave the news on all day without fear of damaging the screen. However, it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look grayish, making it less ideal for watching in dark rooms.

Response time on this TV is good and the TV can interpolate lower frame rate content if you like the 'Soap Opera Effect.' It has a remarkably low input lag if you want to do some gaming, just don't expect any advanced gaming features like FreeSync. There's some vignetting at the corners of the screen, but thankfully, dirty screen effect is minimal. Color accuracy is excellent out of the box, which is great if you don't plan on calibrating the TV.

Like most recent Sony TVs, it runs on Android, which means you get access to the immense Google Play Store. The interface is user-friendly and if you have trouble finding what you need, you can use the remote's built-in microphone to summon the Google Assistant for help. On the whole, if you're shopping for a large TV on a budget, this is a very decent choice.
