Best 65-inch smart TVs

Top pick: LG C5 (65") — an OLED with 120Hz native refresh and VRR, so movies, sports and console games all look smooth and contrasty. It's the safest all-rounder if you want one TV to do everything well.

Who the others suit:

• LG OLED C6 — the newer LG OLED; pick it if you want the latest generation and the same OLED strengths.
• Samsung S90H / Samsung OLED 65" — brighter-feeling OLED for a sunny room, with Samsung's smart platform.
• Sony BRAVIA 7 II — best if you care most about motion handling and upscaling of older content.
• TCL QM8L — a bright mini-LED for a big, bright living room at a lower price.
• Hisense U8QG — budget-friendly bright panel with Google TV built in.
• Roku Pro Series OLED — simplest interface; great if you mostly stream.
• LG OLED EVO 4K — a solid OLED alternative if the C-series is unavailable.

Skip the 6000 Series Roku TV and the QN80H listing: the first is listed as a 49" Full HD panel, the second as an 85" set, so neither is a true 65" 4K smart TV.
