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.

The best 75-inch TV for most people
✅ You want excellent value QD-OLED: The S90C offers QD-OLED for cheaper than ever before – and keeps the picture quality spectacular.
✅ You want a big, screen QD-OLED gaming experience: The S90C has every gaming feature you'd need and performance to match, making it an excellent gaming TV.
❌ You want Dolby Vision: The S90C doesn't support Dolby Vision for gaming or movies, much like every other Samsung TV.
❌ You want the brightest big screen OLED: The LG G3, Samsung S95C and S95D OLED TVs are all brighter than the S90C.
The Samsung S90C is our top pick for the best 77-inch TV overall. At a 77-inch screen size, any refinements introduced by picture processing will make a visible difference, and the S90C’s Neural Quantum 4K processor, the same one found in Samsung’s flagship S95C QD-OLED model, provides notably better upscaling for HD and standard-definition movies and TV shows, something it does using AI-based tech.
The second-gen QD-OLED display panel used in the S90C presents a notably brighter picture than what you get with regular OLED TVs, even ones priced around the same level as the S90C. Contrast is also strikingly good, and the picture retains uniform contrast and color even when viewed at far off-center seats. The S90C’s measured brightness is around 20% less than what you get from top-tier OLED TVs like the S95C or the LG G3, but it's nonetheless impressive when you take the mid-range S90C’s more reasonable price into consideration.
The S90C has an appealing design with a thin profile, although it swells out in the middle due to its internal connections box. Inputs include four HDMI 2.1 ports with support for 4K 120Hz signals and VRR for gaming, and like other Samsung TVs, it has a Gaming Hub feature for playing cloud-based games from services like Xbox and Nvidia GeForce Now.
One of the reasons why we rate the Samsung S90C so highly is its value. It’s only slightly more expensive than the LG C3 OLED, while delivering notably better brightness and even better built-in sound. You can get better brightness from the pricier Samsung S95C and LG G3, but, as we stated in our review, we can “actually see some home theater fans, especially those fond of watching films in darkened room settings, potentially preferring the slightly gentler, less explosively dynamic look of the S90C’s pictures,” compared to those premium models.

The best budget 75-inch TV in the US
✅ You want great pictures without breaking the bank: The U7N has an impressive picture with great contrast, easily outperforming its budget price.
✅ You need a gaming TV on a budget: Stacked with features including Dolby Vision gaming and 4K 120Hz support, the U7N covers nearly all the gaming bases.
❌ You don't want to tweak any settings: We found that some experimenting with picture settings was required to get the best out of the U7N.
❌ You want excellent sound: The U7N's sound may suit some, but we found it to be a little lacking. This TV is best paired with a soundbar.
If you want the most out of your money in a big-screen size, the U7N provides nearly all you need, including a colorful and balanced picture with plenty of detail and a near-full suite of gaming features plus great gaming performance.
The U7N proves that the best mini-LED TVs don't have to cost a crazy amount. It delivers impressive textures and details, bold and vivid color and solid contrast – especially if you feed it 4K sources. While it suffers from some backlight blooming (especially when viewed off-center) and its picture requires some setup to get the best from it, the U7N's picture for the price is hard to argue against.
Big-screen gaming is also well-covered by the U7N, with a list of features that includes Dolby Vision gaming, VRR (HDMI, AMD FreeSync and Nvidia GSync all included) and up to a 4K 144Hz refresh rate. It also delivers brilliant picture quality and performance for your games.
While the U7N is not without compromises – it has average built-in audio and some playing around with the picture settings is required - this Hisense provides almost unbeatable value, letting more people experience mini-LED picture quality without paying excessively for it.

The best budget 75-inch TV in the UK
✅ You want a brilliant picture for the price: Despite its cheap price, the C805 delivers excellent picture quality fuelled by superb detail and contrast.
✅ You want a budget big screen for gaming: The C805 has superb features for a cheap TV, including 4K 120Hz, VRR, Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM.
❌ You watch a lot of sport: The C805's motion handling is average at best even after tweaking, so it doesn't lend itself well to sports viewing.
❌ You need great built-in sound: The C805's sound is punchy enough, but limited by a restricted soundstage and spatial placement.
The TCL C805 is a superb-value TV that delivers vibrant, detailed pictures (thanks to its mini-LED backlight, a rarity at this price point), an excellent list of gaming features and a lightweight, but solid design, all for a very affordable price.
In our C805 review, we were very impressed by its refined details and textures, bold and vibrant colors, solid black levels and punchy contrast. Crucially, its mini-LED backlight provides enhanced local dimming and black uniformity (an ability to display dark tones evenly across the screen), which is ideal for a larger, 75-inch TV. Although its motion handling is inconsistent, struggling with sports and fast-moving images, we noted that "at this price range, it's tough to be disappointed in the C805's picture", especially given the low price.
The C805 also comes equipped with many of the gaming features we expect from more premium sets including 4K 120Hz, Dolby Vision gaming, VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro included) and ALLM, making it an excellent choice for big-screen gaming on a budget.
While the C805 does lack the quality built-in sound of more premium TVs and is bested by those models in most areas, if you're looking for a 75-inch TV with great picture quality and gaming features for an affordable price, you can't do much better than the C805.

The best mid-range 75-inch TV
✅ You love movies: With excellent brightness and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats, movies in 4K look amazing.
✅ You want a mini-LED TV that's affordable: It stands up well against mini-LEDs from premium brands, just more budget-friendly.
❌ You like watching in big groups: Picture quality suffers if someone isn't sat in the center of the TV, not great for sports nights.
❌ You don't want to edit settings: Filmmaker Mode needs adjustments when watching movies with Dolby Vision HDR.
The Hisense 75U8N is our top pick if you're looking for a mid-range 75-inch TV that still performs exceptionally well, especially when it comes to TV shows and movies.
Hisense has significantly boosted the 75U8N's brightness levels and introduced other picture quality refinements compared to last year's U8K series. In our review, we called this Hisense TV "astonishingly bright", which meant pictures looked phenomenally punchy with a lot of detail and depth. When it comes to HDR support, there's Dolby Vision (IQ), HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG formats here. This makes the 75-inch version a top choice for movies, but we also enjoyed watching sports during our testing. Just bear in mind that the TV’s off-axis uniformity wasn't great, meaning viewers at off-center seats experience faded color and contrast.
There are two HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 144Hz and 4K Dolby Vision gaming support here. Plus a Game Bar menu that lets you change the picture settings. These features don't make it one of the best gaming TVs (we'd want to see four HDMI ports), but a solid choice for anyone who wants a huge TV for TV shows and movies that will also do for gaming on the side. If you're in the US, you'll get the Google TV smart TV platform, which we rate as one of the better options for streaming and browsing content. But you'll get Hisense’s own VIDAA platform in the UK, Australia, and elsewhere.
The U8N isn't exactly cheap, but for a solid mid-range choice it's much more affordable than many of its mini-LED rivals at this 75-inch size.

The best premium 75-inch TV
✅ You want a spectacular picture: Lifelike, accurate detail, stunning contrast, and dynamic color are just a few things that make the S95D's picture so good.
✅ You value both design and performance: With its floating stand and razor-thin profile and bezel, the S95D is one of the most stunning-looking TVs you can buy.
❌ You want an accurate Filmmaker Mode: Although it delivers extraordinary pictures, we noted black crush in darker scenes with the S95D in Filmmaker Mode.
❌ You are on a budget: A TV with this many features that delivers this level of quality comes at a higher price than other big-screen sets.
Similar to its predecessor, the Samsung S95C, the new Samsung S95D, takes OLED picture quality to the next level by combining an OLED display panel with QLED technology. But the S95D manages to be even brighter than the S95C, which previously reigned as the OLED TV brightness champ.
Samsung’s AI enhancements for the S95D bring unsurpassed detail levels to both 4K and lower-resolution pictures alike. Images are characterized by strong contrast and bold colors, and plenty of detail can be seen in dark, shadowy images. A new feature that arrives with the S95D is an anti-reflection screen that makes pictures look great even in bright room lighting, eliminating a long-standing issue with OLED TVs.
It’s not just movies that look great on the S95D, but Samsung also made it a powerhouse for gaming. It features 144Hz refresh rate, ALLM, VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support on all four HDMI 2.1 ports, and also has Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud-based gaming from services including Xbox, Nvidia GeForce Now, Luna, Utomik, and more.
Design-wise, the S95D is a beautiful-looking TV with a super-slim profile and bezel and a “floating” stand that makes the TV look airborne even when not wall-mounted. And if you do choose to wall-mount it, an external One Connect Box makes that type of installation elegant and easy.

The best 75-inch TV for sound
✅ You want excellent built-in sound: The Sony Bravia 8 uses Acoustic Surface Audio+ to deliver a direct, immersive and balanced built-in sound.
✅ You want a detailed, natural picture: The Bravia 8's greatest strength in its picture quality is the level of detail it produces, giving textures a natural and realistic look.
❌ You want the best gaming TV: While it has a good number of gaming features, the Bravia 8's 12.8ms input lag time can be beaten and it only has two HDMI 2.1 ports.
❌ You want the brightest OLED TV: Other OLED TVs including the Samsung S95D, Samsung S90C and LG C4 (all on this list) are brighter than the Bravia 8.
The Sony Bravia 8 enters a very competitive mid-range OLED TV market – facing competition from the likes of the LG C4, Panasonic Z85A, and more – and bests them all in one area: sound. It delivers in other areas, but it's audio where the Bravia 8 has the upper hand, which is important in a large 77-inch screen size.
The Bravia 8 does something not many TVs can seem to do nowadays by delivering superb-quality built-in sound. It uses Acoustic Surface Audio+ tech to deliver a direct sound right from the screen itself with real power and clarity. During testing we were impressed with the Bravia 8's built-in audio, describing it as "remarkable", particularly with its accurate placement of effects. While we found bass still a bit lacking, the Bravia 8's built-in sound is still "more engaging than most other TV sound systems".
Picture quality on the Bravia 8 is also excellent, with natural but vibrant colors and increased HDR brightness from its predecessor, the Sony A80L, to give pictures a more dynamic look. Details and contrast are also very good, particularly with shadow detail. The Bravia 8 does suffer from reflections in brighter rooms, so it fares best in darker viewing conditions – all of its OLED rivals are brighter, giving them more punch and a better chance to beat reflections. But overall, the Bravia 8 is a top model in a very competitive mid-range OLED market.
The Bravia 8 also has a good list of gaming features including 4K, 120Hz, VRR and Dolby Vision gaming support and adjustable feet for placement of a soundbar underneath the TV. While it isn't the best in terms of value, pricier than its rivals, if you want excellent built-in sound in a big screen size, the Bravia 8 is top of its class.

The best 75-inch TV for sports
✅ You have a bright viewing environment: The QN90D's high brightness and anti-reflection screen effectively reduce screen glare in bright rooms.
✅ You watch a lot of sports: The QN90D's high brightness, wide viewing angle and great motion handling make it an ideal TV for sports fans.
❌ You want the best value mini-LED: Mini-LED TVs from Hisense and TCL can provide similarly great performance for less money.
❌ You want Dolby Vision HDR: Same as with other TVs from Samsung, the QN90D's high dynamic range support is limited to HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG.
Watching sports on a big 75-inch screen is an incredible experience, and the 75-inch Samsung QN90D mini-LED TV seems almost custom-made for that purpose. It has an exceptionally bright picture that looks uniformly good from all angles and an anti-reflection screen to reduce glare from room lights. Motion handling is also excellent, making fast action sports, and games as well, look solid and blur-free.
When we reviewed the Samsung QN90D, peak brightness was measured at an impressive 2.192 nits and full-screen brightness at 680 nits. Those numbers rank the QN90D in the upper echelon of TV brightness, and it also has precise local dimming for deep and detailed shadows when watching movies.
It’s not just sports and movies that look great on the QN90D’s expansive 75-inch screen but games as well. With four HDMI 2.1 ports with support for up to 4K 144Hz, VRR including AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and ALLM, the QN90D is fully kitted out with gaming features. In our tests, input lag measured an impressive 9.9ms. The QN90D also features Samsung’s Gaming Hub, which lets you play games from cloud-based services such as Xbox, Geforce Now, Utomik, Luna, and more.
For such a big TV, the QN90D is startlingly slim, measuring just under 1-inch in depth. It comes with a sturdy metal base for support, and its bezel-less display gives it an “all-picture” look. Samsung includes its eco-friendly SolarCell Remote, which draws power from an integrated solar panel and can also be charged through its USB-C port. Despite being slim, the QN90D has powerful built-in sound, with its 4.2.2-channel, 60W built-in speakers delivering accurate sound effects and dialogue placement with the help of Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound+ feature.

The best 75-inch TV for gaming
✅ You watch a lot of movies: The C4 delivers excellent picture quality, and its new Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode takes performance a step further
✅ You're a gamer: 4K 120Hz and Dolby Vision gaming supports, along with many other gaming features make the C4 a brilliant OLED TV for gaming.
❌ You want the sound quality to match the picture: The C4's average sound quality doesn't match up to the quality of its picture, or its gaming features.
❌ You want the cheapest gaming TV: Mini-LED TVs from Hisense and TCL have many of the same features as the C4, and LG's B4 OLED is an even cheaper option.
The LG C4 provides big-screen OLED gaming at a more affordable price than premium OLED TVs such as the Samsung S95D. It also has superb picture quality, excellent gaming features and an attractive, slim design.
Gaming is one of the C4's strong points. Four HDMI 2.1 slots, fully kitted with 144Hz refresh rate, VRR (HDMI forum, AMD FeeeSync and Nvidia G-sync), ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming all feature on the LG C4. Plus, it comes with LG's useful Game Optimizer, which selects the most relevant settings for your gaming session.
Picture quality is another highlight of the C4, which has excellent contrast and detail. It also has improved brightness over its predecessor, the C3, leading to stronger, bolder HDR highlights that pop when watching 4K Blu-rays.
The C4 uses the latest version of LG's own smart TV platform, webOS 24, which has had its home menu trimmed down and neatened to an easy-to-navigate layout. It also has accessibility features such as an AI chatbot to aid with tech issues users may encounter.
The C4 thrives as a gaming TV, its superb picture combining with an extensive list of gaming features. Sure, other cheaper TVs have some of the same features, but the C4 really does tick all the gaming boxes.

How to choose the best 75-inch TV
Is a 75-inch TV too big for a living room?
While many promotional and marketing images might lead you to believe that a 75-inch TV is too big for a living room, this really isn't the case for lounges of an average size.
So long as you have a table or stand that's accommodating to the TV's large size, and create adequate space for peripherals like soundbars and speakers, a 75-inch TV won't take up as much real estate as you might think. And if you're thinking of mounting a 75-inch TV on wall using one of the best TV wall mounts, you'll also want to consider how much space it'll take up on the wall.
Do keep in mind that you may have to rearrange the room around the TV for the best possible viewing experience, however.
How far should you sit from a 75-inch TV?
For optimal viewing with a 75-inch TV, we'd recommend sitting roughly 50-60 inches away from the screen for a fully immersive experience. Rearranging the furniture in your room to accommodate this will help, and it could be as simple as slightly adjusting your couch.
How much does a 75-inch TV cost?
The very best 75-inch TVs can vary wildly in price. The LG G3, for example, will run you an eye-watering $3,500 / £2,770 (around AU$5,400), while Hisense present a much more affordable option in the U8K at $1,300 (around £1,000 / AU$2,000).
The difference in price here seems drastic considering both examples offer excellent picture quality. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay for extra bells and whistles and design sensibilities, such as the G3's wonderfully thin design and best-in-class options for gaming.
Do be extra wary about TV sales that sound too good to be true, though. If you see a 75-inch 4K TV for around $600 / £600, it's probably going to let you down in terms of picture performance with bad backlighting and cheap edge-lit LED panels that produce poor black levels and contrast.
During key sales periods such as Black Friday, of course, those pricing expectations are a little different, so in any case it's worth paying attention to how much a 75-inch TV was at launch.
Some Hisense TVs can have a high launch price and quickly undercut it for a sense of value, and often you can get a good discount at least a few months after release, but in general you should be looking for the largest discount compared to a previous price, rather than just the cheapest 75-inch TV out there. And if you're low on cash, you should probably be opting for a decent 65-inch TV, rather than a half-baked 75-inch one.
Once you get to a 75-inch size, too, 8K TVs really become a smart investment too. That's because the greater number of pixels over 4K (33 million rather than eight million) ensures far greater detail at that size. A 55-inch 8K TV doesn't really make much of a difference, but a 75-inch 8K TV certainly does.
How we test the best 75-inch TVs
We test the TVs we selected for this best 75-inch guide not just on picture, but on every aspect including gaming performance, smart TV platform and menus, ease of use, built-in audio and even the overall physical design. We'll test out the features within the TV to make sure they're up to scratch and reflect this in our reviews.
75-inch is a big screen so you're often going to pay a premium for the very best, but we also look out for those TVs that give you value - performance without the price tag, so in this guide we've included TVs to suit every budget by testing across a wide range of prices.
We always strive to test these TVs with a variety of sources including Blu-ray, streaming, live TV, lower-resolution programs and movies and more so that we can fully test the TVs picture quality across the board, not just on the best possible picture.
Some of our reviewers will be testing with different equipment and in different conditions, but we will always aim to make this clear and to be as fair and as consistent as possible.
