The best 85-inch TVs can transform your living room into a home theater, delivering a level of immersion that smaller TVs just can't match. The downside? Prices jump quickly at this size, so choosing the right model is crucial if you want great performance without blowing your budget.
To make that choice easier, I've rounded up the best 83- and 85-inch TVs you can buy right now. I've been reviewing home theater gear for more than a decade, and I test TVs with a focus on picture quality, smart features, and overall value. For most people, the TCL QM7K is the best 85-inch TV overall. This midrange QLED offers impressive brightness and vibrant color for a reasonable price. But if you're looking to spend even less, the TCL QM6K is a compelling alternative. It's not as bright as the QM7K, but it's often available for around $998, which is a steal for such a large screen.
It's also a particularly good time to shop. With the Super Bowl approaching, limited-time deals are showing up on several of my picks. For instance, the QM7K is $300 off its typical street price right now. If you've been waiting to upgrade to an 85-inch TV, now's a smart time to make the jump.
Note: LCD-based TVs (LED and QLED) are available in 85- or 86-inch sizes, while OLED panels are sold in 83-inch sizes. As a result, I've included 83-inch OLED models in this guide.
