Retailers are clearing out their inventory to make room for new 2026 models, and that means 65-inch TVs are hitting some of their lowest prices of the year. The difference between a good picture and a great one at this price point often comes down to HDR, or high dynamic range, which determines how well a set handles contrast, brightness, and color in demanding content. Most sets in this range also run on full smart TV platforms, so compatibility with streaming services, gaming, and off-air reception varies considerably.
Consumer Reports tested six sets across picture quality, HDR performance, sound, viewing angle, and reliability to find the ones worth buying.
