I test TVs for a living and found 5 awesome 75-inch TV deals ahead of Black Friday

Big-screen TVs are becoming even more popular as prices drop year after year, and now’s the best time to get your TV upgrade fix as we head into Fall savings season.

While Black Friday is still several weeks away, there are a number of exciting deals on some of the best TVs, even at 75 inches. Having tested a few of them myself this year, I know just what to look for if you’re hankering for a large-screen upgrade: excellent picture quality and a slew of gaming features top the list, but if glare is going to be a problem in your living room, you’ll also want to make sure you get a TV with ample light dissipation and off-axis viewing.

Here are five of my favorite 75-inch TV deals and what makes them special.

You won’t find many other budget TVs built like this. The 75-inch Hisense U65QF Mini-LED TV offers great color performance, high brightness in both SDR and HDR, as well as loads of gaming features for less than $800.

Beyond its great performance, it’s kitted with a 144Hz refresh rate, the entire range of HDR formats, and a robust catalog of free content via Hisense Channels.

The one thing that could hold the U65QF back is its reliance on the Fire TV interface, which isn’t the most intuitive. Given its cheaper pricing, you can expect minor blooming in some fast-paced action, and viewing angles aren’t the most ideal.

These are typical compromises for a Mini-LED set — but you can’t beat the sticker price.

Next up is the direct competitor to the Hisense U6QF. The TCL QM6K was one of the very first TVs to launch this year, hitting shelves in early January. It’s yet another entry among the best budget TVs of the year, thanks its accurate colors and sleek design.

To quantify color accuracy, we use a test that measures a TV’s Delta-E, and the QM6K has one of the lowest scores we’ve ever seen. This makes the QM6K one of the strongest sets for accurate skin tones, highlights, and animated films.

So why is it so cheap? Unfortunately, brightness is not the QM6K’s strong suit, hitting a high of just over 680 nits in both HDR and SDR, nor does it have the lowest input latency, at 13.1ms. It’s still more than capable enough of a TV for console gamers and, if you’re running a gaming PC, as the QM6K allows you to play games at up to 288Hz at 1080p.

For just $50 more than the U6QF, the TCL QM6K goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Okay, so the Panasonic W95A Mini-LED TV was released back in 2024, but it’s still one of the best 75-inch TVs you can buy right now, primarily because the price is so darn good. At launch, this puppy cost well over $2,000, but now it can be found for under $900, making it an utter steal.

One of the major aspects that sets the W95A Mini-LED TV apart from the rest is its wide viewing angles. You don’t see that very often on an LCD set, especially cheaper models like the U6 and QM6 series TVs.

This is especially great if you’re looking to get a big-screen TV upgrade for NFL Sundays. You don’t someone at the opposite end of the living room to miss all the action or get a worse experience than those sitting in front of the screen. It’s equipped with an excellent anti-glare screen, so you can watch in the middle of the day without any issues.

If getting the best view in any seat matters to you, this is the TV to get.

We don’t have an official review out on the QN80F Mini-LED TV, but we did go hands-on with its 100-inch model earlier this year. This TV packs in some serious performance gains for the price, but it does lose out on Dolby Vision support.

However, with more of the best streaming services picking up HDR10+, like Disney Plus and Hulu more recently, it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.

The QN80F boasts stellar color coverage and accuracy, offering both excellent bright-room performance and some of the lowest input latency in our testing for an LCD set.

If you’re willing to spend a little more on a Samsung TV, the 75-inch QN80F delivers great performance at a not-totally-unreasonable price.

If you’re ready to make the performance leap to an OLED, the affordable LG B5 is probably your best bet. The LG C5 OLED also offers an exceptional value, but if you’re on a budget, the 77-inch B5 OLED is a perfect starting point, especially at just $1,499 right now.

With great color and a slew of incredible gaming features, the LG B5 OLED is a solid 77-inch TV upgrade. It’s also one of the cheapest OLED TVs you can buy right now, offering you Dolby Vision support (unlike the Samsung S85F) and a robust smart platform in webOS 25.

So what separates it from the more-expensive C5 OLED? The B5 OLED doesn’t have the strongest brightness, and its reflective screen makes it an unappealing choice for brighter rooms. It’s also not the most advanced step up from the LG B4, which is itself a great deal right. Unfortunately, the 77-inch model isn’t available, but you can still find the 65-inch LG B4 for $1,079 on Amazon.

A potential compromise later into the sales season could be the new Panasonic Z8BA, which is only available in 77-inch. The TV only just launched a few weeks ago, so pricing is still stuck at its $2,499 MSRP right now, but if it hits under $2,000, it could be a worthwhile option in the 77-inch range for those looking for an inexpensive big-screen OLED.

In the meantime, the B5 is good for folks who want OLED picture quality that can fill a wall for less than $2,000.
