I know I say this every year but it's true if you're looking to get the best
TV you can under $1,000 there's an embarrassment of riches to choose
from Welcome Back everyone I'm Caleb Denison and today I want to run you through my favorite 2023
TVs under $1,000 TV makers are competing fiercely and as a result the under 1,000 options look
better than ever now as a reminder when it comes to picking a TV according to budget you'll want
to weigh your screen size versus picture quality priorities you can always get a bigger screen if
your picture quality standards aren't too lofty or if you do have high demands for picture quality
then settling for a smaller screen to meet your budget may be necessary all of the TVs on my list
have at least least very good picture quality and for a lot of folks the upgrade to one of these TVs
will be pretty substantial so I think most of you watching this video will be excited by whatever TV
you pick and I'll do my best to describe the differences to help make your decision a bit
easier okay also another friendly reminder TV prices fluctuate and during the holiday season
they tend to fluctuate a lot almost daily that means that it's possible a TV that's not on this
list could end up falling below $1,000 at some point just know that if it's a model that sits
above any of the picks in this list then it's sure to be a smart buy the only reason I didn't
include it is because I don't have a crystal ball and as always we'll have links to all these TVs
at their best prices down in the description below to help make shopping easier clicking
those links helps support the channel as well so thank you for that oh and stick around to the
end because I'm going to tell you exactly which TV I'd go buy for myself if if I had $1,000 to
spend okay my first pick is going to have to be the Hisense U7K I am deeply impressed
by the picture quality to price ratio of this TV the 75 in model comes in just under 1,000 and if
you don't need a screen that big the 65 and 55in versions cost even less this tv offers impressive
brightness enough to pull off HDR content well the colors are reasonably accurate in some of
the picture mode presets and the black levels are really impressive for a TV at this price it
runs the Google TV platform which is currently my favorite built-in Smart TV platform uh it's
got some very gamer friendly features built in there's just a ton to love about this TV now if
you want a seriously seriously bright TV then take a look at the step up model from Hisense
the U8K now presently only the 55 in model comes in under $1,000 but the 65 in model is presently
priced just above 1,000 which means that at some point it will come down below our magic mark so
maybe set a notification with your favorite price notification app and wait it out if you're not in
a rush when the 65in Hisense U8K drops below 1,000 that's going to be a no-brainer Buy in
my book next up let's look at Hisense's stiffest competition uh TCL year after year I'm impressed
with tcl's TVs and I think the TCL Q7 is going to be a good choice for a lot of folks now the
TCL Q7 runs just a bit more than the Hisense U7K and it doesn't have many LED backlights like the
U7K does but what it does with its standard full array local dimming backlight system is
very impressive the outof boox colors in the most accurate picture modes tend to be more
exciting and Vivid than accurate but if you're looking for an exciting picture the TC Q7 will
definitely give that to you and you can get a 65in model for well under $1,000 now like
Hisense TCL has a stepup model uh called the TCL QM8 which is one of my absolute favorite
TVs of the year the QM8 doesn't come in a 55 in model otherwise it would have easily made
this list however the QM8 65 in model is sitting at just above 1,000 so if you can
Pony up another 100 bucks or you're willing to wait I am very confident the 65in TCL QM8 will
be dropping below $11,000 at some point which begs the question between a 65 in Hisense U8K
and a 65-in TCL QM8 when they do come down under a $1000 I'm not sure which is the more no-brainer
choice between the two it's so close but when I did Pit the two against each other earlier this
year I did end up siding with the TCL QM8 for some pretty personal reasons still you can't go
wrong with either one also I've debated whether or not to put the Hisense u6k on this list I've
not tested it personally not yet anyway but it does have a mini LED backlight system with local
dimming and I remember the contrast being just stupid good for such an inexpensive TV on the
other hand I know it has pretty poor off- angle viewing and I think the processing probably isn't
going to do much to improve low quality streaming TV still it has Google TV built in great contrast
decent brightness and I mean you can get a 65 in model for under $700 so I mean let's call it
an honorable mention for a budget larg screen TV next I want to mention that Vizio just put some
new TVs out and one in particular that I have my eyes peeled for is the new Vizio Quantum Pro the
75in model is under a grand and the 65in model is currently priced around 700 now I have not
reviewed these TVs yet like I said they just came out but I liked what I saw when Vizio
gave me a demo a few months ago and I've got one coming in for review so if you're seeing
this video and wondering about the Vizio Quantum Pro I'd say check the channel to see if I've put
out a Vizio Quantum Pro review since I originally published this one there's a good chance I'll add
them to my list once I have reviewed them okay time to talk about the LG B series OLED TV the
55- in LG B3 OLED TV can be had for under 1 000 and while it doesn't have the advanced
processing that you'd get in the more expensive LG C3 OLED TV this is still an OLED TV and that
counts for a ton in my book there's just something undeniably enjoyable about the pixel level dimming
that you get from an OLED TV there's nothing else like it and while the B3 doesn't have
LG's latest picture processor it's still a very good processor and the B3 Sports some gaming
friendly features including a couple of HDMI 2.1 ports gsync and freesync vrr compatibility and
very low input lag it can do everything all the other TVs on this list do but it has that OLED
contrast that I just love so if you want OLED but you need to keep it under 1,000 the LG B3
is it there may be some older LG B2 oleds out there if you can find one go for it otherwise
B3 quick side note I wanted to put a Sony on this list but honestly given the competition on this
list from TCL and hense the lowest model Sony I would recommend would be the Sony X90L great TV
but the 55in model that's the smallest that the X90L goes is one of those TVs that's currently
just over $1,000 so again put this on a price watch if you want great picture and 55 in as
big as you need or want then when or if the X90L drops below 1,000 I say snap that thing
up so that's the list I know there are a lot of TVs that didn't make this list and that's
because I wanted to focus squarely on getting you the best bang for your buck there are other very
good TVs under $1,000 but you get more for your money with the TVs that I've picked here now as
promised I wanted to share what my very personal choice in TV would be under $1,000 keep in mind
I have very specific likes and dislikes and priorities that may not be at all similar to
yours well I think the Hisense U7K is the smartest TV buy for the most people but if I had a grand in
my pocket and was told to go and buy a TV that I had to use for at least one year I would either go
sell something I own to pocket another 100 bucks or I'd wait for a few weeks for the price to drop
and I would buy a 65 in TCL QM8 and if the TCL QM8 was out of stocker or something I wouldn't
hesitate to get the 65 in Hisense U8K because that TV is also Stellar for the price now you
know thanks for watching everyone I truly hope this video helps you with making your TV buying
decision if it did would you let me know down in the comments please share this video with anyone
you know in the market for a TV under $1,000 maybe give it a like I appreciate your support
