This is an interesting time of year to be TV shopping. On one hand, you’ll still find a decent number of leftover 2023 models, often at their all-time lowest prices. On the other, the first wave of new 2024 TVs have now arrived, typically at their higher introductory prices.
Regardless of the model year, though, the very best TVs in Consumer Reports’ TV ratings (available to members) can be quite pricey—often costing $2,000 or more. The good news is that you don’t have to spend that much. You can get a great viewing experience for less than $1,000.
The majority of the sets in this list of the best 65-inch TVs under $1,000 are 2023 models. In addition, there is one 2024 TV—a Roku TV from Roku and a pair of 2022 sets that are still available at some retailers. All can deliver very good overall picture quality, and several can provide a compelling HDR experience.
If you can wait a bit, we expect to see more 2024 models hit this list as prices start to drop over the next few months. Keep checking back.
