If you’re in the market for a new TV, you can now find a decent number of leftover 2024 models, often at their all-time lowest prices, as well as new 2025 sets that are less expensive than when they first arrived in the spring and early summer.
Regardless of the model year, the very best TVs in CR’s ratings (available to members) can be quite pricey, often costing $2,000 or more. But you don’t have to spend that much to get a great viewing experience. There are some very good 65-inch sets priced below $1,000. That’s good news if you’re among the shoppers looking to make holiday purchases earlier this year, due to uncertainty around what tariffs will mean for prices.
This list of the best 65-inch TVs under $1,000 includes mainly 2024 models, and all of them deliver at least very good overall picture quality and a compelling high dynamic range (HDR) experience. HDR is a big differentiator among TVs in this price range.
These are 65-inch TVs, but you can also find smaller, less expensive versions of most of these models, and most are also available in even bigger screen sizes. And if you find a set with great picture quality but not great sound, you can easily fix that by adding a soundbar.
Consumer Reports tests and rates hundreds of TVs each year.
