Best 65-Inch TVs Under $1,000

But in our list below, we do highlight one new 2021 model, from Hisense. We will be adding more new sets to this list as we test more models.

Note that at this time of the year prices on 2021 models are at their highest, so it's possible that a TV that now costs more than $1,000 could be much less in just a few months. (It's always a good idea to ask for a price-match guarantee from a retailer in case prices suddenly fall after you buy.) Want to save even more money? You can often spend a bit less by getting a smaller version of the same TV; the model names will be almost identical.

Last year we made a few noteworthy changes to our TV ratings. While overall picture quality still remains critically important, we’ve added data privacy and security scores for all the TVs we test because we think these are important concerns for consumers. We evaluate the various ways TV brands collect, use, and share consumer data, how well they protect it, and how transparent they are about their data practices.

We’re also encouraging TV makers to ship their sets to consumers with the optimal privacy settings turned on by default. (Of course, you can also adjust the settings yourself, but we’ve found that consumers can find them tricky to locate and use.)

We've listed the TVs below in order of CR's Overall Score, starting with the best-performing sets.
