If you’re looking to upgrade, the price difference between a 50-, 55- and 65-inch TV can often be fairly negligible, though prices do start to tick upward when you’re looking at 75-inch and larger screens. It’s important to fit your screen size to your room, though. Don’t squeeze a 55-inch set in a bedroom where a 32-inch will do for an hour of late-night TV before calling it quits.
For resolution, we recommend at minimum a 1080p screen, but most of us will probably prefer to take advantage of all the 4K programming on streaming and cable these days. After that, your inputs and your onboard speakers are all worthy of consideration, but nowadays the other main important decision is your smart-TV platforms. Roku, Samsung, Android/Google, Amazon, and others all have their proprietary ecosystems; if you’re already in one it can be hard to make a switch, so be sure you know what you’re getting before clicking “add to cart.”
Gamers considering a TV for the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X should look out for TVs with 120Hz native refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 ports for resolutions up to 4K 120Hz, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support. Not all games support 4K 120Hz or VRR, but it may become the standard for most AAA games like Call of Duty.
