The best 75-inch TVs 2023: big-screen bliss
Our guide to the best 75-inch TVs is led by the LG C2 series model, winner of the best TV in the TechRadar Choice Awards 2023. Beyond that, you’ll find budget TVs from Hisense, TCL, and also Samsung, along with more premium and pricey sets, including 8K ones (a screen size at which 8K resolution starts to make sense). With many retailers keen to shift stock in the post-Christmas lull, this is a perfect time to find a deal on a truly big-screen TV – our widgets below will show you the latest sales.

When it comes to getting a cinematic experience, the best 75-inch TVs can deliver something significantly closer to what you’d see at the cinema when stacked up against smaller models.
Having a TV of this size really has its advantages. Not only are details more noticeable thanks to the super-sized image, but you’ll typically see brighter images with better contrast and richer colors, too.
In the past it’s been prohibitively expensive to buy a 75-inch TV, because it was mostly only the very best TVs that came in these sizes. But that’s not always the case these days – in fact, it’s fairly easy to spot a good 75-inch TV deal every week that sees some behemoth television screen cut down in price to around what the best 65-inch TVs or best 55-inch TVs would cost.
Our guide has been designed to reflect a variety of prices, including some surprisingly affordable options as well as cutting-edge, ultra-premium home theater monsters, and we’re constantly updating it as new models hit store shelves.
Let’s get to the sets. Right below you’ll find our guide to the best 75-inch 4K TVs you can buy in right now – including the best 8K TVs, because at this size that extra resolution really makes a difference. You’ll also find many of the best OLED TVs here, though at 77 inches instead of specifically 75 inches. That’s because OLED display panels are made slightly differently.

Lack of cable management
No HDR10+ support
Although 75-inch TVs do look better with an 8K resolution, the LG C2 OLED does a tremendous job of filling up the screen space with its 4K resolution. Because it’s an OLED TV, you’re getting fantastic black levels and color saturation and all for a price that won’t break the bank.
Improvements for 2023 include the new Alpha a9 Gen 5 processor, which is designed to offer better object enhancement and dynamic tone mapping than its predecessor. As well as that, you’re getting ‘virtual surround sound’, with the TV upscaling stereo content into 7.1.2-channel sound. While we weren’t convinced by the claims of virtual surround sound, the audio performance is good for a flatscreen TV, and a number of different sound modes means you should be able to find an audio profile that suits your needs.
In addition to those improvements, the C2 OLED carries forward the four separate HDMI 2.1 ports that it inherited from the C1 OLED, meaning it’s the perfect companion for the PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
The LG C2 isn’t flawless, however. Off-axis color saturation does diminish a bit when you move to the left or right of the screen when compared to the new QD-OLED models and LG doesn’t support either the IMAX Enhanced or HDR10+ format.
There are, of course, higher resolution flatscreen TVs out there right now like the Samsung QN900B, which offers 8K resolution, and the new upgraded LG G2 OLED that has a slightly higher peak brightness, but for the price, this is the absolute best TV you’re able to buy right now.
2. TCL 6-Series (2023)
Affordable and incredibly impressive: a brilliant budget buy
Our expert review:
Specifications
Screen size: 75-inch
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
Panel technology: LED
Smart TV: Roku TV
Dimensions: 1668 x 1031 x 320mm
Reasons to buy
Great brightness and contrast
4K 120Hz and VRR 144Hz support
Affordable for a mini-LED TV
Reasons to avoid
Thin-sounding built-in speakers
Picture adjustments not easily accessible
No ATSC 3.0 broadcast TV support
TCL’s 6-Series TVs deliver a great combination of impressive picture quality and high value, and the latest version of the company’s flagship TV not just continues that tradition, but improves upon it. Available in 55- to 85-inch screen sizes, the new 6-Series arrived in late 2023, and it offers not just movie fans but gamers on a budget a great big-screen option.
The mini-LED tech used in the 6-Series enables high brightness, while a quantum dot layer enhances color reproduction and full array local dimming processing creates deep and detailed shadows. The set features Dolby Vision IQ to make high dynamic range images look good in both dim and well-lit environments, and HDR support extends to HDR10+ and HLG.
Gaming features on 6-Series TV are enabled via a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, with onboard support for 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (up to 144Hz), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). FreeSync Premium Pro is also supported, making TCL’s flagship an obvious choice for gaming.
The new 6-Series is one of the more compelling TV options on the market. This series is packed with great features and the performance is well above-average, especially given the price.
3. Sony XR75X90K
The best affordable 75-inch TV for gamers

Reasons to buy
Deep blacks and good brightness
Strong suite of HDMI 2.1 gaming features
Great value
Reasons to avoid
Light output doesn’t match mini-LED TVs
Picture fade at far off-center seats
Overly basic remote lacks backlighting
The Sony X90K is excellent value for money, delivering fantastic performance for its price. It has a full-array LED backlight and features local dimming, which results in deep blacks. Along with the LCD panel’s quantum dots, there’s enhanced brightness and color here too. During our testing, we really enjoyed watching this TV – especially with a huge 75-inch screen.
Although the brightness here is good, it doesn’t shine as brightly as other TVs on the market. Take a look at the Sony XR-77A80K in this guide for a brighter alternative. There are some blooming and uniformity issues with the Sony A90K. But there’s also plenty to love, including its video and audio quality, Google TV interface and ATSC 3.0 tuner.
With extensive gaming features, including two HDMI 2.1 inputs and support for 4K/120Hz, VRR, and ALLM, this is also a great 75-inch TV for gamers to consider. This TV is also Perfect for PlayStation 5, a Sony initiative that activates both Auto HDR Tone Mapping and an Auto Genre Picture Mode to optimize the image when a PS5 console is connected.
Although this TV isn’t solely for gamers. In our review we wrote that the Sony X90K is perfect if you love watching movies and sports, too: "The X90K series can deliver deep, detailed blacks for movie watching, and its peak light output is high enough to make it a good option for daytime sports viewing as well."
Although this isn’t the perfect 75-inch TV, for the price its overall performance is very good and should satisfy even fussy viewers.
4. Hisense 75U6G (US)
The best cheap 75-inch TV for US buyers
Our expert review:

Reasons to avoid
Overstuffed remote
Bland design
The 75-inch Hisense U6G ULED TV is one of the best 75-inch TVs for 4K TV buyers on a budget. It’s even cheaper than the company’s previous efforts with the H8G Quantum Series.
There’s even a bit less of a price gap between the U6G’s 65-inch and 75-inch variants, with the latter’s slightly lower price certainly being more palatable to those wanting to go big. And we’d say the larger option is well worth it, especially with the U6G’s support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HLG formats. These options mean you’re getting excellently sharp and colorful image quality for the price.
As for drawbacks, there aren’t a ton, but we weren’t fans of the remote that shipped with the U6G. It’s a little bloated compared to the relatively simple, stripped back designs of Apple TV or Google Chromecast remotes, but it’s by no means a deal breaker. You’ll also want to invest in a soundbar, as like most other Hisense TVs, the default speakers aren’t the greatest.
5. Samsung 75BU8500 (UK only)
The best cheap 75-inch TV for UK buyers

Reasons to buy
Detailed 4K images
Rich, accurate colors
Good smart TV and gaming features
Reasons to avoid
Has its limits when upscaling
Sound is quite hard and thin
No Dolby Vision HDR
The Samsung BU8500 is an excellent all-rounder for a reasonable price. It’s a 4K HDR TV (with the usual Samsung lack of Dolby Vision support) with a trio of HDMI inputs, voice-control, two (count ‘em!) remote controls and a Tizen smart TV interface featuring all the apps you want at this sort of money. It’s one of the best Samsung TVs for buyers who don’t want to spend too much money.
Inevitably some compromises have had to be made to keep the price down. The upscaling isn’t as good as you’ll find on Samsung’s more expensive models, although it’s fine for most viewing, and the sound isn’t great; we’d definitely recommend investing in one of the best soundbars so it sounds as good as it looks. And while there’s compatibility with the ALLM and HGiG aspects of next-gen games console specification, there’s no support for AMD FreeSync like there was in last year’s Samsung AU9000. But in every significant area of picture-making, the Samsung’s never less than competitive – and its backlighting is beautifully implemented, making it feel more expensive than it actually is.
We wouldn’t recommend this TV if you want to watch a lot of old, pre-4K content: there are other TVs that deliver better visuals from lower-resolution sources. But if you feed it HD and 4K content this Samsung is one of the best 75-inch TVs for budget-conscious buyers.

New ‘Smart Hub’ UI a step backwards
Limited 8K content
8K might feel a bit like overkill to some, but there’s no doubt in our mind that the Samsung QN900B Neo QLED 8K TV is simply one of the very best 75-inch TVs when it comes to performance. Samsung’s Mini LED-sporting QN900B Neo QLED 8K TV offers stunning picture quality, exceptional color and brightness, terrific sound and outstanding blacks – all in a package that’s unmatched in terms of design.
For the uninitiated, Samsung’s ‘Quantum’ Mini LEDs are 1/40th the thickness of a regular LED, meaning thousands of smaller LEDs can be packed together in a much tighter fashion, allowing for far more accurate dimming zones and black levels that are practically indistinguishable from an OLED.
As the LEDs are far smaller, they’re able to achieve far more precision and less blooming, so the act of seeing bright areas of the screen unnaturally bleed over into darker spots should be greatly reduced or not evident at all. And because it takes advantage of Samsung’s Multi-Intelligence AI upscaling, the QN900A is consistently able to produce images that looked better than their source.
So why did we dock it half a point? Samsung’s 2023 TV range sees the introduction of its new Smart Hub UI across its top models. It’s a totally revamped interface that’s anchored by a Google TV-inspired home screen populated by content recommendations from your various streaming subscriptions and apps.
Unfortunately, the change to a full-screen, content-packed home menu brings about some frustration. No longer can you easily adjust settings and change viewing modes on the fly – you now have to completely leave what you’re watching or playing when bringing up said home screen, navigate to a sidebar menu, and then scroll down to a separate settings menu to perform actions that were just a few button presses away before. It’s a minor issue, sure, but we just couldn’t give it full marks until a fix arrives.
