65-inch TVs are increasingly becoming a popular choice for most households, and now they're more affordable than ever. Sale prices for budget models routinely dip below $500, and you can get a truly exceptional Best 65 inch TV -- with smart features and other desirable attributes -- for less than $1,000. Because nearly every mainstream TV maker offers this size, I prefer using 65-inch screens when I make side-by-side comparisons of TVs here at CNET. They're not too big that they take over most living rooms, but they're large enough to showcase HDR-quality video and 4K resolution while you watch your favorite movies and TV shows.
