Hey everyone! Thanks for all the comments with tips on watching out for deals on TVs that you caught over the last few weeks! Keep an eye out for some serious price drops around November 11! And more are coming, I suspect! Let me know if there’s anything else of value to add!

If I were in the market for a TV near the $1,000 range, I would rather spend a little more and get an OLED with Sony’s XR Clear Image technology. For instance the 55 inch A75L is showing on Best Buy for $1,199 and the 65 inch for $1,499; and the A80L is only $200 more than the A75L. I guess if you want a much larger size or your space is very bright, then LED might be the way to go. Just another option!

Hello Caleb, I have 4 options for a 75 inch tv In the similar price range. Can you help me select the best bang for buck one out of these. Sony X93L Samsung S90C QN90C LG C3. I want to put this tv up in my living room which is a well lit space. I was also looking at Sony X90L. If I can’t go for these I wanted to go with X90L. Do you think it’s a good choice Outside those 4 options? Do you have any other options in the X90L price range of $1500?

​@@LeezahB I just picked up X90L after suffering for 2 weeks with U8K. OMG that sony is such a better tv. The PQ is like Night and Day. It would take a long time for all these review sites to convince me to go Hisense or TCL for a main TV. Honestly if I had to recommend one of those Hisense you'd be better off with a U6 or 7 because U8 isn't much better Might as well save a few bucks. Its disappointing everyone is utting their hype on Nits of brightness. That totally destroys a picture over a 1000 nits . Every with a brain knows this.

His first line "I know I say this every year" went right along with the beat. 0:07 Spittin bars.

Just want to add this even though it’s not under a $1,000….Starting Nov. 8th Walmart will sell the 65” A90J for $1,400…also I’ve seen the x90L 65” for $1,000 at Costco during their BF sale

Thanks for all the amazing videos, Caleb! Been looking to replace a bottom of the barrel Samsung we purchased early in the pandemic when stores were closed and options limited. Finally decided on the U7k. Pretty confident it will be a huge step up. Thanks so much for helping me and others nail our purchase decisions down

Bought the Sony X80 65 inch, and it has blown me away, and I got it at Sam's for under $700. Brightness is incredible, and the new remote is something to behold. I can move seamlessly between outside antenna and firestick. Just the little things that make this a great buy, at a great price point.

Thanks Caleb and team! This is timely help!

This is a really good roundup of 2023 budget TVs. I know there is a big audience for this. Great job!

I like that these reviews have some technical details, but in the end they answer the question (which TV to buy ~$1000) very well, using both facts and opinions.

Went with the 75 inch U7K based on this video. WOW! It's brilliant! Thanks!

This is the perfect video I've been waiting for. Thanks so much for connecting to your audience. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks, Caleb. I'm going to pick up the 65" U7K as soon as I can.

This was just the video I needed. I appreciate the way you mentioned a few to watch out for if they go on sale.

I have the TCL R635 and I know for a fact TCL tvs are very good bang for the buck tvs. I also have the P607 and the R625 and the R617 which are also great tvs. 😊Love all 4 of them honestly 😊.

This helped a lot. Especially the comparison video you made between the TCL and Hisense. I think im siding more with Hisense after seeing both videos. Thanks

Thanks for the breakdown 👍🏼

I snagged the 65" TCL QM8 for $999 and its been a great TV for my EXTREMELY bright living room. I moved our Sony OLED A80J into our bedroom and have been very pleased all around.

Just got the 65" U7K from BB for $699 over the weekend. My old 55" LG plasma died after 11 solid years so needed something affordable and relatively fast as the kids and wife love their TV. Seemed like the most TV for the buck. We will see how it holds up over time but so far it's a huge upgrade and looks amazing.

Great review and very timely. Prices are dropping fast and some of these televisions are great deals!!!

nice, should be quite interesting to see the choices in this range come second half of November.

Caleb, I was price watching the TCL QM8 on Amazon and saw it drop to $901 a couple weeks ago. Immediately bought it, of course. It's now back to the just under $1,100 price but Black Friday is coming. Very nice TV. Thanks for your videos!

Excellent Channel - Invaluable information for those that are seeking truth and facts instead of a commissioned sales pitch.

I have a pioneer pdp 43” plasma. Which of these would you choose?

Looking forward to the Vizio quantum review, have been thinking about purchasing. I will wait for Caleb 😊

Hi if you had to choose between the Hisense u6 mini led vs LG qned75 both in 65 inches which one would you get?

😅 Great presentation thank you very much for your research I'm afraid I'm going to have to rewind a couple times and take notes PS I take it all these TVs are smart TVs quote on quote that is able to stream and be done with the arcade cable TV pirates?

Another great review. I’ve had issues with Vizio and LG tvs in the past so I went back to Sony earlier last year. I had a Sony over 10 years ago and I remember I got it on sale at the NavyExchange on base and sold it 2 years later for the same price I bought it for as I was leaving Hawaii. Is like buying a Honda or Toyota and reselling it years later lol. Anyways, based on this review and the other for the x90l, I went for the Sony 65” since it’s now on sale for $998. I also have the Sony A90J 55” in my master bedroom. So I know the differences between OLED and LED, and let me tell you, this X90L is a great TV. I didn’t go for the mini LED X 93 - 95 L, too heavy and more pricey (so might as well buy another OLED). The tv is also for the living room and I leave my living room tv on for back noise, etc. So, there is the risk of pixel burning if using an OLED. I didn’t really see much difference from the picture quality on the Mini LEDs compared to the x90l. Maybe bcz I am watching from an IPad, either way in person, the Sony X90L is SO MONUMENTAL like Adele would say!

Should I get the hisense u6k, u7k, or u8k. I'll be picking up a 55 inch model.

I just got my Vizio Quantam Pro delivered yesterday, had to order a new stand as well so it’s still in the box until the stand arrives tomorrow. I’m excited to game on this thing.

Thanks, Caleb!

Oooh, I’ll check every day for that Vizio review. Fingers crossed it’s before Black Friday.

The sony xl90L 55"" is just under $1000.00 for black Friday. The 65" is $100 over $1000. IMHO the best deal is the 75" at $1500. All at Best Buy

Bro, you got to get your hands on the lga2 in 48" for $650 and even less on special. It is an incredible oled for movies and picture quality and for the price it can't be beat simply because I'm taking an lg oled over a midrange qled any day of the week, really the only drawback is the processing is a little slow in the menu at times (on startup is the most noticeable) but if you can wait 3 seconds it cant be beat in the 48"-50" sizes

I am looking to upgrade from a 55 inch Sam KS8000 with a 1K budget. Any recommendations?

I have a 55" & 65" TCL 5 series Google 4k tv. No problems so far. My only problem is the Google interface it's slow. I just brought the 75" 5 series model from BB for $625. Going to give this 4k tv to my brother and his wife.

Most of these TVs are good, but the user interface is what interests me most. For example, the remote that Samsung is one of the best. And the way they work with my PC. Great show.

Hi Caleb. I've been watching ALL your videos, and I think I've learned a LOT - thanks for all your info. I'd like you opinion/blessing on my decision. If I had a strict upper bar of $1000, I'd have purchased the TCL QM8 65" for $900. But since I can spend a bit more, and since the LG C2 65" dropped to $1250 for about 6 hours on Cyber Monday, I bought that. Good decision for only $350 more? Also I decided to save *another* $350 by NOT buying the C3 which is only marginally better than the C2. Agree? Did I get a great TV for a great price?

Got the 65 inch TCL Q7 for $700 two months ago and so far its more than enough for my living room. The contrast and brightness is great!

Hey skip Q70C for sure. The Q70C does -NOT have local dimming. The whole reason to buy QLED or MINI LED. Also it will have blooming , its still great panel but thats a 2010 flagship technology type of thing. U7K ALL d way. It has very close visual to S95B but just bit dimmer but still 1200peak brightness (tested) brighter than S90C. Like it’s NO fail panel. MINI LED. Q70C is very generic QLED. It’s prob a “premium “ in 2016 2017 type of thing. But def falling short. It’s not mini led. U7K is mini led, VA 120hz, BETTER Speakers with subwoofers. I cant explain. Like if u get 65” sound so good. I have picky ears cuz i had 12 BOSE speakers in my car. N Hisense tv speaker are SO good i never got a sound bar. I tried to check , yes the $900 SONOs ARC n BOSE900 did sound better, but matching. The tv u need like $500-600 speakers (still lack of base) just to match. There was no point. A lot of ppl like brag” I have sound bar”. There ppl HATE sound bar, awkward more wire more annoyance. It’s slowly phasing out when ppl like easy setup for clean condos. Yeah like once I got an INFINITI with 12 BOSE speakers, all I care about next CAR is “does it have good speakers” lol…the HP no matter d ONLY thing i care lol. I cant explain. U7K wil have VERY good speakers

Reflection handling on the Sony is HORRIBLE in bright rooms.

Thanks for this list of great-value TVs for $1000 or less. Recent trends in the TV market seem to be good news / bad news for those of us who may be interested in an LCD display but don't have room for a screen that's larger than 55", because some manufacturers are offering their top-tier LCD models only in screen sizes 65" and above. Fortunately, however, the OLED and QD-OLED TVs with the best overall picture quality still include 55" models in their lineup. Since I'm saving money by purchasing a smaller screen, I think I can afford to spend a little extra and invest in one of the top-tier OLED or QD-OLED TVs rather than compromising on a second-tier LCD model. That would be my personal preference, though other buyers may have different needs.

The QM8 vs U8k debate to me has to go to the QM8. The picture is a hair better. Better brights, better darks. Better tone mapping. And the 2 hdmi 2.1 ports are separate from the eARC port.
