Named for a-pixel density-that’s around four times higher than 1080p HD, 4K has been champing at the bit since way back in 2013.-But this year, TVs bearing the technology finally crossed the $1,000 line en masse — and that means it’s time to seriously consider betting on one for yourself. While it’s true that 4K content hasn’t kept pace with the-hardware, it’s coming soon and from all directions.-And even if you’re not all that impressed with 4K’s resolution, the TVs have some real advantages over-current-1080p sets, boasting-better future-proofing, the latest processing and motion technologies, and more.-As such, our updated list of the Best TVs under a grand is flush with awesome picks from the 4K landscape, as well as a few humongous HD TVs — because in TV land you can never go too big. Follow along here to find-the best TVs under $1,000. If $1,000 is a too-rich for your budget check out our picks for the Best TVs under $500. The Best Samsung UN55JS7000FXZA SUHD TV ($1,000) At CES 2015 last year Samsung pulled the veil off its latest and greatest TV innovation: SUHD. It’s short for Super Ultra HD TV, and we got our first glimpse of these vibrant new-displays at a posh poolside event that showcased-some of the most vivid colors ever produced from an LED TV. The secret to SUHD is-a brighter, 10-bit panel coated with a nano-crystal layer, which Samsung says helps to improve the color accuracy. Along with a better, brighter panel, the JS7000 comes loaded with 4-HDMI and 3-USB inputs, processing extras-like local dimming to improve contrast, and Samsung’s decked-out-Tizen Smart Hub with all the streaming apps you’ll need to keep you glued to your couch long into next year. Settled on the-lowest rung of the SUHD lineup, the TV’s-performance will suffer just a bit — especially since the native refresh rate is only-60Hz, meaning high-speed content may suffer without motion processing help. Still, this is Samsung’s big new thing, and the fact that you can get one of these babies-for under a grand is actually pretty damned surprising. In other words:-grab one. Screen-size 55 in Display technology LED Backlighting Full Array Refresh rate 60 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon The Rest LG-60UF7300 Ultra HD TV ($900) While LG’s 60-inch class is- technically just 59.5 inches from corner to corner--— who knows where that extra half-inch goes — if you don’t think a damn-near 60-inch 4K panel at this price is a screaming deal, you’ve got some marbles to collect somewhere. In fact, this set-was in strong contention for our number one-pick. Along with top resolution and a huge screen, the real gift that comes with this set (and all new LG smart TVs) is webOS 2.0, which offers an intuitive, lightning-fast user interface and all the major-streaming apps including the elusive Amazon Prime. The IPS panel means black levels won’t be stellar, but it also means-brilliant color reproduction enhanced by LG’s ULTRA Luminance processing. And seriously, at this price and size, this 4K Ultra HD set is another no-brainer. Screen-size 59.5-in Display technology LED Backlighting Edge-lit Refresh rate 120 Hz Buy it now from: Best Buy Vizio M55-C2 4K Ultra HD TV ($900) Vizio has been muscling its way into flat screen prominence for years now with an aggressive price-to-performance ratio, and the M-series is a prime example. Offering an impressive-combination of features and picture quality at an extremely manageable price point, this 55-inch display brings full-array local dimming with 32 independent zones for excellent contrast, a six-core processor for snappy performance, and a native 120Hz panel for excellent motion response. Add in 4 HDMI inputs and a loaded smart interface, and it’s easy to see how this once-budget brand has punched its way into the big leagues. Screen-size 55 in Display technology LED Backlighting Full Array Refresh rate 120 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Best Buy-Walmart Sony XBR49X830C 4K Ultra HD TV ($800) Sony TVs may be pricier than others for their size, but there’s a reason for that: The company’s processing is still some of the finest in the business, allowing Sony TVs to squeeze out excellent-performance and extremely-accurate colors from an-average LED panel. While the X830C-may be a hair smaller than its 4K Ultra HD competitors on our list — and therefore less likely to allow your eyes to see the full effect of its dense pixels — it still offers impressive color accuracy and motion performance, and above average contrast. Plus Sony-sets-come with a few other perks, including the capable Android TV smart platform, as well as-the ability to stream PS3 games straight to your TV. Screen-size 49-in Display technology LED Backlighting Edge-lit Refresh rate 120 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Best Buy-Walmart Samsung UN55JU6500 4K Ultra HD TV ($900) While it’s not part of the new SUHD mafia, this TV still packs a punch for its price point that sits $50 below our proposed price cutoff. Along with-4K resolution, the TV packs full-array local dimming (just like our top pick) allowing for better contrast — and since this is a VA panel, it should boast rich black levels, too. We still prefer the SUHD set at the top of our list, but barring that, this fully loaded 4K Ultra HD set is a prime-second choice. Screen-size 55 in Display technology LED Backlighting Full Array Refresh rate 60-Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Best Buy-Walmart LG 55UF6450 4K Ultra HD TV ($700) While not nearly the monster deal presented by the first LG on our list, at $900 this 55-inch hunk of 4K action-is still a-contender — so much so that we would’ve been blown away by this price just 6-months ago. Of course, that was then, and this is now.-The most obvious drawback of choosing this TV over the UF7300-is the fact that it’s five-inches smaller from point to point — which is a bigger compromise in screen real estate than it sounds. It also doesn’t offer the True-Black Control processing of its sibling, so contrast will likely take a ding, and the native refresh rate is only 60Hz, so motion performance will suffer too. It does have webOS 2.0 and 3 HDMI inputs, so this set is no slouch when it comes to features, but if you can get the UF7300, it’s the superior choice. Screen-size 55 in Display technology LED Backlighting Edge-lit Refresh rate 60 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Best Buy-Walmart Sharp Aquos LC-65LE654U HD TV ($1,000) If you just want the biggest TV you can find, and you don’t care about 4K, this TV fits the bill nicely. Moreover, if you’re looking to save some serious cash, you can step down to the 55-inch model and-scratch around $400 off the price. While-black levels or contrast won’t compete with the top of the heap, the LE65eU is a plus-sized set-that’s bright and vibrant,-and loaded with enough inputs and features to sit in the captain’s chair of your home theater. Screen-size 65 in Display technology LED Backlighting Edge-lit Refresh rate 120 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Best Buy-Walmart Samsung UN60J6200 HD TV ($700) If there’s one great thing about the passage of time, it’s the falling of prices. If you’d have told us you could get a 60-inch Samsung HD TV with full-array backlighting for $850 last year, we’d have asked nothing more than where to sign. And though we still think going for 4K Ultra HD is the right move in the current landscape, if you’re not convinced of the need for 4K yet, this TV will do you right. It’s only got 2 HDMI inputs, and doesn’t boast a whole lot of other features, but excellent color reproduction, solid contrast and black levels, and all you’ll need in the smarts department make the J6200 a solid choice for your primary TV — and an-awesome choice for the back bedroom. Screen-size 60-in Display technology LED Backlighting Full Array Refresh rate 120 Hz Buy it now from: Amazon-Walmart Vizio E65-C3 HD TV ($1000) Here’s another television that makes the case for-size over performance. While it’s-HD TV resolution is merely mortal, unlike nearly all similarly-sized-TVs in its price range, the E65-C3 offers-full-array backlighting with local dimming, helping it reach richer black levels, along with-better contrast and uniformity than the majority of its peers. Add in a solid smart platform and a claimed 240Hz native refresh panel, and the E-series is a prime choice in the HD arena. Like others of its ilk, taking a step down to the 55- or 50-inch models also provides a mega-bargain, dropping hundreds of dollars with each size class.
