Best televisions for your needs

Start with LG C6 for Dolby Vision and several gaming sources, or Samsung S90H when a matte screen addresses a reflection problem. Sony BRAVIA 8 II suits a film setup with verified DTS passthrough, but its wide feet and one spare high-refresh input after eARC need checking. These recommendations use exact 65-inch US configurations.

Top picks by situation

  • Best TVs for two consoles and a soundbar

    LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA

    Four high-refresh HDMI inputs leave three after eARC, enough for two consoles and another suitable source. Dolby Vision support also serves compatible films. No DTS passthrough, so check the route from any disc player to the sound system. These are 65-inch US configurations.

    Main trade-off: The 18.5-inch stand width is not a minimum safe cabinet width. Allow for the whole 56.7-inch TV, cabinet depth and secure installation.

LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA

LG, OLED65C6PUA

LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA

A straightforward starting point for a room shared by film viewers and several gamers. The supplied central stand keeps the feet together, Dolby Vision covers compatible films, and three high-refresh HDMI inputs remain when a soundbar uses eARC. The headline 165 Hz mode needs a compatible PC. It will not make a console run above its own limit.

Best fit forSeveral gaming devices, Dolby Vision films and a supplied central stand

Why it fits

  • Selected 65-inch OLED65C6PUA US configuration includes a tabletop stand.
  • Four 4K120/VRR HDMI inputs. eARC uses HDMI 2. Up to 165 Hz with compatible PC.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Current LG specification includes Dolby Atmos FlexConnect.

Know the trade-offs

  • The 18.5-inch stand width is not a minimum safe cabinet width. Allow for the whole 56.7-inch TV, cabinet depth and secure installation.
  • OLED is worth discussing carefully if the same static game interface, news ticker or desktop stays on screen for long repeated sessions. No lifespan prediction is implied.
Position 3
LG G5 65-inch OLED65G5WUA

LG, OLED65G5WUA

LG G5 65-inch OLED65G5WUA

Consider this G5 when the wall installation is part of the plan. The selected WUA package includes LG’s wall mount and no tabletop stand. It also keeps three high-refresh inputs free after an eARC soundbar is connected. A discounted G5 becomes a different purchase if you need to add a stand and check whether the furniture can carry it.

Best fit forA planned close-wall installation with several gaming sources

Why it fits

  • Selected OLED65G5WUA US wall-mount package, not a stand bundle.
  • Four 4K120/VRR HDMI inputs, eARC 2 and PC VRR up to 165 Hz.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Current LG page lists Dolby Atmos FlexConnect.

Know the trade-offs

  • This exact WUA offer has no tabletop stand. Price the right stand separately if you cannot wall-mount.
  • Included wall-mount hardware does not establish that your wall, cables or installation are suitable. The TV alone weighs 48.5 lb.
Position 4
Samsung S90H 65-inch QN65S90HAEXZA

Samsung, QN65S90HAEXZA

Samsung S90H 65-inch QN65S90HAEXZA

A strong candidate when reflections compete with viewing and you want several consoles or a PC connected. Its matte finish and four high-refresh inputs address those two problems together. Check the film collection before choosing it. Dolby Vision and DTS passthrough are not supported, which can matter if a disc player sends everything through the TV.

Best fit forA reflection-prone shared room with several gaming sources

Why it fits

  • Selected QN65S90HAEXZA 65-inch US S90H, with matte Glare Free finish.
  • Four 4K165-capable HDMI inputs. One is also the eARC soundbar connection.
  • Multi-output Audio supports TV speakers plus compatible Bluetooth listening. This is not a promise of soundbar plus headphones.

Know the trade-offs

  • No Dolby Vision or DTS passthrough. A compatible direct player-to-receiver audio path may avoid the DTS limitation.
  • These facts are for the 65-inch US model. The 77-inch version has different panel technology, so do not transfer its reviews automatically.
Position 5
Samsung S85H 65-inch QN65S85HAEXZA

Samsung, QN65S85HAEXZA

Samsung S85H 65-inch QN65S85HAEXZA

Start here before paying more for a Samsung OLED used mainly with consoles. All four HDMI inputs accept 4K120, leaving three after an eARC soundbar. The step up to S90H adds a matte finish and higher PC refresh capability. Those changes deserve more attention when a bright reflection or a fast PC is actually part of the room.

Best fit forMultiple 120 Hz consoles without needing a 165 Hz PC mode

Why it fits

  • Selected QN65S85HAEXZA 65-inch US S85H, Graphite Black.
  • Four HDMI inputs accept 4K120 and one carries eARC. VRR supported.
  • Standard Anti Reflection finish, HDR10+ and 20 W 2-channel speakers. Q-Symphony needs a compatible Samsung soundbar.

Know the trade-offs

  • The documented maximum is 120 Hz. S90H’s 165 Hz PC capability and matte Glare Free finish are different features.
  • The 65-inch stand has two feet. Check the actual setup drawing before relying on ambiguous minimum-foot-spacing numbers in the specification sheet.
Position 6
Sony BRAVIA 8 II 65-inch K-65XR80M2

Sony, K-65XR80M2

Sony BRAVIA 8 II 65-inch K-65XR80M2

A useful choice for films, subtitles and a DTS disc library routed through a compatible audio system. The QD-OLED screen and supported formats are only part of the purchase. Its feet sit near the outside edges, and an eARC soundbar leaves one high-refresh console input. Check both before assuming it drops into the space occupied by an older 65-inch TV.

Best fit forDolby Vision films and DTS discs with a suitable cabinet and one main gaming source

Why it fits

  • Selected US K-65XR80M2, 65-inch BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED, not BRAVIA 8 or XR8B.
  • HDMI 3 and 4 support 120 Hz. HDMI 3 is also eARC.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG and verified DTS passthrough. Correct player, receiver and settings still required.

Know the trade-offs

  • An eARC soundbar uses HDMI 3, leaving only HDMI 4 for a directly connected 4K120 console. Compatible switching equipment can change that limit.
  • Both supplied stand positions use outside feet, about 57 inches apart. Shared TV-speaker and Bluetooth listening turns off Voice Zoom. Direct Connect disables that listening route.
Position 7
Sony BRAVIA 9 65-inch K-65XR90

Sony, K-65XR90

Sony BRAVIA 9 65-inch K-65XR90

This is the original BRAVIA 9 Mini LED, with flexible feet for a cabinet setup. A narrow raised position can help keep a soundbar under the screen without moving the feet to the outer edges. It is a substantial TV to lift and support. Its 76.7 lb installed weight deserves checking even when the foot spacing looks convenient.

Best fit forA cabinet-and-soundbar setup needing narrow raised feet

Why it fits

  • Selected K-65XR90 original BRAVIA 9, not BRAVIA 9 II.
  • 65-inch Mini LED LCD with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Four HDMI, 4K120 and VRR on HDMI 3/4.
  • Four stand positions include narrow raised for soundbar. Narrow spread about 19 inches, depth 13.75 inches.

Know the trade-offs

  • The 65-inch TV weighs 76.7 lb with its stand. Check the furniture rating and arrange safe handling before delivery.
  • VRR is limited to HDMI 3 and 4. Shared TV-speaker and Bluetooth listening turns off Voice Zoom. Direct Connect disables headphones.
Position 8
Sony BRAVIA 5 65-inch K-65XR50

Sony, K-65XR50

Sony BRAVIA 5 65-inch K-65XR50

Consider BRAVIA 5 when you want Sony’s current TV controls and flexible cabinet placement without starting with a flagship OLED. The narrow raised stand position is useful when a soundbar must stay beneath the screen. The connection plan still matters. Only HDMI 3 and 4 support VRR, and the wireless surround option has listening restrictions.

Best fit forA flexible tabletop installation with Dolby Vision and Sony audio controls

Why it fits

  • Selected US K-65XR50 65-inch BRAVIA 5 Mini LED.
  • 4K120 input, VRR on HDMI 3/4, Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG.
  • Two documented narrow stand positions, including raised for a soundbar. Narrow spread 18.75 inches and stand depth 13.63 inches.

Know the trade-offs

  • Four HDMI sockets do not mean four high-refresh gaming inputs. Check the eARC soundbar and console plan before buying.
  • Shared TV-speaker and Bluetooth listening turns off Voice Zoom. Direct Connect disables headphones and is a different mode from using a soundbar.
Position 9
Sony BRAVIA XR8B 65-inch K-65XR8B

Sony, K-65XR8B

Sony BRAVIA XR8B 65-inch K-65XR8B

The XR8B is worth a look when you want a Sony OLED on existing furniture. Its four-position feet include a narrow raised option, which can make a soundbar easier to accommodate than on BRAVIA 8 II’s outside-only feet. It remains a separate model. Do not borrow a BRAVIA 8 II review or assume every new Sony wireless feature is shared.

Best fit forOLED films on a cabinet that needs narrow raised feet

Why it fits

  • Selected K-65XR8B 65-inch US OLED, distinct from K-65XR80M2 BRAVIA 8 II.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, 4K120 and VRR on HDMI 3/4.
  • Four-position feet, including inside raised for soundbar. Narrow width 23 inches, wide width 49 inches, depth 9.88 inches.

Know the trade-offs

  • VRR is limited to HDMI 3 and 4, with a 120 Hz maximum. Plan the audio connection before counting spare gaming inputs.
  • Current Direct Connect compatibility documentation does not list XR8B. Support is unconfirmed, rather than proved absent.
Position 10
TCL QM7L 65-inch 65QM7L

TCL, 65QM7L

TCL QM7L 65-inch 65QM7L

The two fast HDMI inputs remain free when an eARC-only soundbar uses HDMI 4, so two consoles do not automatically require the more expensive QM8L. The catch appears if a receiver must carry high-refresh video and return TV-app audio over the same cable. Its adjustable center stand also needs more cabinet depth than the compact-looking base suggests.

Best fit forTwo consoles connected to the TV with a separate eARC-only soundbar

Why it fits

  • Exact 65QM7L US model, not QM7L Pro or QM7K.
  • HDMI 1/2 accept 4K144. HDMI 3/4 accept 4K60. eARC uses HDMI 4.
  • Dolby Vision and HDR10+ supported. DTS passthrough verified in primary testing.

Know the trade-offs

  • HDMI 4 carries eARC but tops out at 4K60. A receiver using one cable for both high-refresh video and TV-app audio needs a different connection plan.
  • The 144 Hz input mode does not prove clear motion. Primary testing reports slow pixel transitions, and NVIDIA VRR trouble when the PC connection is limited to a 60 Hz handshake.
Position 11
TCL QM8L 65-inch 65QM8L

TCL, 65QM8L

TCL QM8L 65-inch 65QM8L

QM8L gives a busy entertainment cabinet more connection freedom. Three 4K144-capable inputs remain after eARC, and the eARC port itself accepts high-refresh video from a suitable receiver. That is useful when two consoles share the room with a gaming PC. It does not make every game sharper, and the stand still needs a deep, safely rated surface.

Best fit forTwo consoles plus a PC, or a capable receiver using one TV cable

Why it fits

  • Exact 65QM8L US Google TV with central height-adjustable stand.
  • All four HDMI inputs accept 4K144. HDMI 1 also carries eARC.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and verified DTS passthrough. Current manufacturer specification lists Dolby Atmos FlexConnect.

Know the trade-offs

  • Primary testing reports slow pixel transitions despite the 144 Hz input capability. Check the games you play rather than treating refresh rate as a motion-quality score.
  • The center stand is 14.5 inches deep and the TV weighs 50.9 lb with it. Measure the whole installation, including the soundbar and cable space.
Position 12
Hisense U7SG 65-inch 65U7SG

Hisense, 65U7SG

Hisense U7SG 65-inch 65U7SG

A useful shortlist entry for a bright room where a lamp or window cannot simply be moved. The 65-inch Google TV has a matte finish and four high-refresh HDMI inputs, leaving room for several gaming sources after eARC. Those strengths do not make every seat equal. Primary testing found a narrow viewing angle and motion blur, so a sports gathering spread around the room needs a closer look.

Best fit forA reflection-prone room with central seating and several gaming devices

Why it fits

  • Exact 65U7SG 2026 US Google TV. Matte coating verified on the 65-inch model.
  • Four high-refresh HDMI inputs, eARC on HDMI 3. Up to 4K165 with a compatible source.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and verified DTS passthrough. No USB-C DisplayPort input in the US sheet.

Know the trade-offs

  • The 65-inch tested unit has narrow-angle picture limits and slow pixel transitions. A 165 Hz input is not a promise of clear sport or gaming motion.
  • This comparison uses the Google TV 65U7SG. Do not transfer its results to the U7SF Fire TV or the larger glossy-screen versions.
Position 13
Hisense U8QG 65-inch 65U8QG

Hisense, 65U8QG

Hisense U8QG 65-inch 65U8QG

The older U8QG remains interesting if a compatible USB-C computer is part of the room. That display input can keep ordinary laptop use separate from two consoles on HDMI after eARC. It is not an equivalent fourth gaming input. Primary testing found no VRR over USB-C, so a gaming PC may still need one of the two spare HDMI connections.

Best fit forA compatible USB-C computer alongside two consoles and eARC audio

Why it fits

  • Exact 65U8QG 2025 US Google TV, not a regional U8Q model.
  • Three high-refresh HDMI inputs, with eARC on HDMI 3. USB-C supports display input from a compatible computer.
  • Up to 4K165. USB-C VRR and the advertised 1080p288 mode are not supported in primary testing.

Know the trade-offs

  • Only three HDMI inputs are supplied. USB-C display input does not support VRR in primary testing and should not be counted as an equivalent fourth HDMI gaming connection.
  • The 65-inch TV weighs 64.4 lb with its stand. Its bright output does not remove narrow-angle viewing and motion limitations.

The choices that matter

How to choose your next TV

Focus on the factors that change which product works best for you.

01

Count the ports left after the soundbar

An eARC soundbar uses one HDMI input. Two consoles can therefore outgrow a TV with only two high-refresh inputs, even though it has four sockets in total. A suitable receiver or switch changes that calculation.

02

Measure the installation, not just the screen

Check foot position, furniture depth and weight rating, soundbar height and secure mounting. Some selected packages include a wall mount instead of a tabletop stand.

03

Follow the film and audio all the way through

A Dolby Vision title needs a compatible viewing path. A DTS disc sent through the TV needs passthrough support. Direct connection to a receiver may solve an audio limitation without changing the TV.
