It's predecessor, the C5, is still a great TV and cheaper, but if you want the latest and greatest — you won't be disappointed with the C6.

TV buying tips and how to find the best TV deals
- Don't buy a TV with less than 4K resolution. 4K is the standard these days, so unless you see a very cheap 1080p set, try to stick with 4K.
- Likewise, don't buy a TV without "smart" capabilities. This makes it easy to stream content from apps like Roku, Hulu, and Prime Video. If you don't like the idea of owning a smart TV, you can always leave it disconnected from your network (which essentially strips all of its smart features).
- Look for HDR compatible sets. They offer more realistic colors and better contrast. There are 5 HDR formats, but the main ones you want are HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision.
- Avoid paying for extended warranties. New TVs include a 1-year warranty and your credit card company usually provides additional protection.
- Stay away from refurbished TVs (unless the savings are massive). The problem with refurbished TVs is that if your TV has more dents and scratches than you anticipated, return shipping is usually on you, and shipping a large TV can get expensive very quickly.
- Look for bargains on older sets: Many 2023 TVs are still on the market. Usually the differences aren't that noticeable to the average buyer, so when possible stick to the previous year's model. You'll find cheaper TV deals that way.

1. Hisense U6K Mini-LED 4K TV
Best budget TV right now
Available Screen Sizes: 55, 65, 75, inches | Screen Type: LED-LCD | Refresh Rate: 60Hz | HDMI ports: 4 HDMI 2.0 | Size: 57.1 x 33.1 x 3.1 inches | Weight: 43.1 pounds
The Hisense U8K sits at the top of our list of the best budget TVs. In our Hisense U6K Mini-LED TV review, we said the Editor's Choice TV is one of the best budget TVs we've tested in years.
For starters, it delivers an outstanding picture for its price tag. Its Mini-LED backlighting offers spectacular contrast while its quantum dot filter ensures well-saturated colors. Tack on Google TV and VRR support for consoles, and you're getting a lot of the best features at a much lower price point that competing TVs.
That said, we did experience some slight fuzziness in HD content like Sunday Night Football and the native refresh rate of 60Hz is a problem for gamers looking to maximize the frame rates of their favorite games. However, those small issues aside, you'll be hard pressed to find a better TV at a lower price point.

2. Roku Plus Series 4K QLED TV
Roku’s QLED TV is a great bargain
Available Screen Sizes: 55, 65, 75 inches | Screen Type: QLED | Refresh Rate: 60 Hz | HDMI ports: 4 HDMI 2.0 | Size: 33.1 x 57 x 4 inches | Weight: 36.7 pounds
The Roku Plus Series 4K QLED TV is the streaming giant's first foray into TVs after long focusing on software and set-top/plug-in devices. And what an entrance it is. In addition to delivering a ton of screen for its starting price of $499, these TVs also give you surprisingly good picture quality and sound, two things that are usually lackluster in budget sets.
We also like that they don't look cheap. A gray, metal bezel surrounds the screen on all sides, measuring less than an eighth-inch on the left, right, and top. There's also a chrome Roku logo front-and-center.
The TV uses quantum-dot LED technology to produce vivid colors and increased brightness. In our tests, we found that the TV lived up to Roku's claims. Picture vibrancy does start fading as you move away from the center of the screen, but it took a fair distance for the display to look unbearable.

3. Toshiba 55-Inch 4K Fire TV Edition
The most affordable TV with Amazon Alexa inside
Screen size: 55 inches | HDMI ports: 3 | Refresh rate: 60 Hz | HDR Support: HDR10 | Dimensions (without stand): 28.7 x 49.1 x 3.7 inches
The Toshiba C350 4K Fire TV Edition is one of Amazon's budget smart TVs, which have one big selling point: Amazon’s Prime Video and Alexa voice controls are baked right in. In addition to Prime Video’s extensive catalogue of movies and shows, you’ve got one of the best voice assistants on the market as close as your remote. And it’s not some half-measure – the Alexa on your TV can do everything Alexa can do on the Amazon Echo, with skills for smart home control, looking up weather and restaurants and much more. All of this is built into the 55-inch Toshiba 4K TV, which sells for an affordable sub-$500 price.
The switch from last year’s Westinghouse models to Toshiba bring all sorts of improvements, like improved display quality, HDR support and a more refined user experience, but it’s held back by mediocre picture quality and middling audio. Edge-lit backlighting and limited HDR support just drive home the most frustrating thing about most of Amazon’s TV’s — no matter how good Amazon’s Fire TV is as a smart TV platform, the TV also has to stand on its own merits.
In our tests, the C350 produces a good enough picture that you can enjoy what’s on screen without getting annoyed by quality issues. It’s bright enough to watch during the day and the set produces good color.

4. LG B5 4K OLED TV
The best OLED TV value you'll find
Screen size: 48, 55, 65, 77, 83 | HDMI ports: 4 | Refresh rate: 120Hz | HDR Support: HDR10
Regularly on sale for $699, the 48-inch LG B5 4K OLED TV is one of the best TV values you'll find. We praised LG's budget OLED TV for offering top-rated features like a 120Hz screen, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and overall incredible motion processing.
When it comes to performance, the B5’s OLED panel really shines. It’s offers stellar contrast, with rich and deep, dark scenes popping the most.
We were in awe with how well the B5 performs. It's a stellar edition in the marketplace, and a big win for anyone looking to get their first OLED TV at a significantly lower price. Note: The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive and regularly sells for $699.
