The 15 Best 65 Inch TVs of May 2021

21-inch TVs are too small; therefore, 4K resolution can’t be put into the TV. 100-inch TVs are too big; therefore, there comes many problems with mounting and cables. 65-inch TVs, otherwise, are perfect. 65-inch TVs can hold all the resolution including the latest 8K resolution, while still being perfect for mounting and connecting, even power consumption. These are the types of 65-inch TVs:

1. The display technology of 65-inch TVs

The market is advertising many display technologies for displays, which are:

• The LCD TVs

It is the abbreviation for Liquid Crystal Display. An LCD display consists of two parts: the backlight shines a pure white light source to the world, and the panels block some of the light’s parts to produce the required color. Most brands aren’t making TVs out of traditional LCD anymore, but Samsung still does. Samsung even makes a curved TV on the LCD screen. Check this out SAMSUNG 65-inch Class Curved UHD TU-8300 Series

• QLED TVs

It’s still possible nowadays to make a 4K OLED TV or even 8K OLED  TVs. However, when it comes to higher resolution, which means higher number of pixels, resulting in a sky-high number of diodes. Because the size of the TV does increase much, it would be so much harder to use OLED to display higher resolution. Samsung has come up with a solution: QLED. QLED is the abbreviation of Quantum Light Emitting Diode, which adapts the backlight of LCD and adds a panel of Quantum Dots to absorb the light coming from the back, instead of blocking it. The result is, QLED performs much better than LCD in terms of color, making it the perfect screen for red and magenta. The good news is, by being an extension of LCD, QLED TVs are significantly cheaper than OLED TVs

This is one of the many Samsung QN65Q900RBFXZA Flat 65-Inch QLED 8K

• The NanoCell TVs

NanoCell was introduced by LG last month without waiting for the CES of 2021, signing a big plan for this type of technology coming up early next year. NanoCell is now being used on only one model of LG 8K TV and we’ll put the description in the review part. NanoCell is an extended version of LCD with the participation of the tiny 1mm diode absorbing lights. The advantage of the technology is that the LCD present reduces the price of the piece by a lot, dramatically from 29,999$ of the LG Signature 8K made of OLED to just under 5,000$ of the LG NanoCell 8K recently introduced. This is the technology of the future and we’re gonna see more of it. This is the product LG 65-inch NanoCell

• The OLED TVs (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

Every pixel in an OLED display is an independent diode that produces lights. When the pixel displays a color, say red, the diode at that position produces red; otherwise, it turns itself off. OLED is an ideal way to save energy while producing much better images. Check this out LG OLED65CXPUA Alexa BuiltIn CX 65Inch 4K Smart OLED TV 2020 

The OLED is complimented for its energy-saving design, great contrast ratio, and true black color. Personally, I love the true black color, and due to its little energy consumption, I could make a digital clock on my wall featuring an OLED display.

2. The resolution of the screen

All of you have seen at least one video on Youtube. Then, all of you know that most videos on Youtube in the past 2 years are shot on 1080p. A portion of them are shot on 4K and that portion is getting bigger. So far, the most popular resolution for video in the world is 1080p or 720p in the second place. However, buying a TV is not just for a day, a week, or a month. You might want to own a TV to use for at least 2 years or even more. Therefore, what you buy should not be for today’s resolution but for tomorrow’s resolution. This is what we meant:

• 1080p and 720p TV

The brands are not making these TVs anymore and the products you see in the shop should be manufactured back in 2018 or earlier. These are usually so much cheaper than 4K and 8K, but if you’re thinking of buying one, you’re gonna have to accept the fact that the world will move on to newer technologies in a year or two. This is our pick VIZIO Class 60" LED Smart TV.

• 4K TVs

Buying a 4K TV now is the trend in the world, because 4K is now cheap and affordable. 4K content is now being made by creators and broadcasters. They’re trying to do that over Youtube, digital cables, or even over the air. 4K will be the new standard of the world in a few years, and you don’t want to be left behind. This is worth the look Sony XBR-A9G TV series: MASTER Series BRAVIA OLED.

• 8K TVs

8K is new and better than 4K. An 8K TV from Sony now could cost you over 20 times as much as a 4K Sony TV; however, you can’t buy an 8K TV from Sony for the size of 65 inches, because Sony believes in OLED displays instead of alternative QLED or NanoCell. It’s so hard for Sony to put roughly 30 million pixels into a 65-inch panel. 8K TVs provide great details, stunning images with incredible contrast ratio. Take this TV from Samsung into consideration Samsung Q900TS 8K TV with Alexa built-in.

1. Where to put your TV

People usually think of one of two options for putting your TV:

• Put it on the table: This is the traditional way inherited from our previous generations. Putting the TV on the table makes it easier to remove and reposition, as well as be replaced. However, every advantage comes with some disadvantages. Putting the TV on the table increases the risk of the TV falling into the ground under impact of sudden movements, say from your kids

• Hang it on the wall: 65-inch TVs often adopt the VESA 400x400 as its VESA size. You can easily buy a wall mount for your TV, either fixed version or adjustment-allowing version (tilting version), get a screwdriver, a drill, and attach the TV to the wall in no time.

2. The display you want

As we have shown you the specification of the displays above, you have to choose for yourself the kind of display you want, whether LCD, OLED, NanoCell, or QLED, depending on the quality you expect, and you budget.

• OLED is designed to show great picture quality, suitable for customers who need great display and don’t care about the price tags

• NanoCell and QLED are made to help 8K TVs become affordable for everyone. Though they’re extensions of LCD, the image quality is still good, but of course, not as good as OLED

3. Additional features

Most TVs we’ll recommend come with all the latest features of the TV world, some of which:

• HDR support: HDR (High Dynamic Range) produces colors that are much richer and brighter than normal color definition

• AI integration and voice control: Alexa and Google Assistant are the most popular AI engines to work with TVs. Siri does work with Apple TV but it’s another type of product. Samsung has its own AI assistant called Bixby. Though Bixby is not very ideal, they are trying to improve it and integrate it into the TVs

• 4K or 8K upscaler: The algorithm and processor combination that helps transform the content from lower resolution to the TV’s screen resolution

• Wi-Fi and LAN connection: This is more like a standard to TVs right now, because everyone knows about Youtube and Netflix, then Internet is essential on every TV if you want to make business out of them

The LG NanoCell was claimed by its maker to be the technology in the future. The screen produces natural lifelike nano colors, contained in ultra thin edges, and powered by an AI Processor 8K. In the world of lacking 8K content like this, the AI plays a very important role in enhancing the 4K or lower resolution content to 8K, promising to reach 80% of the quality if the video were actually shot in 8K.

SAMSUNG 65-inch Class Curved UHD TU-8300 Series is one of them, along with the TU-8000 and TU-8100 series.

Therefore, if you’re having a perfect spot to sit in the center of the circle, this is the TV for gaming. 3 AI assistants are available, including Bixby, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. How generous Samsung was! A thing called the Clean Cable Solution inspired by Samsung, which features the idea of hiding the cable in the stand for the TV to look like not having cables at all. As Samsung words, the TV is “captivating 4K with an immersive curve”

• CRYSTAL 4K PROCESSOR

• Curved and stunning screen

• 3 AI assistants

• 120Hz motion rate

1. Can I view content with lower resolution than my TV’s?

There’s very little content made for 8K TVs, or even 4K, so all the TVs we have suggested include the upscaler, which is to enhance your lower-resolution content to the TV’s screen resolution. The engines are powered by AI and are being finested day by day. Then, yes, you can view lower-resolution content on your TV and it feels much better.

2. How do I mount my TV to the wall?

To mount a 65-inch TV to the wall, you first need to know exactly the VESA size of your TV. This VESA size is usually 400x400
