Available in 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch.

Best smaller TV: Samsung TU-8000 Series

This model supports HDR10+, has deep blacks, gets wonderfully bright, and has Samsung's excellent smart platform. It comes in 43, 50, 55, 65, and 75-inch models.

The Frame was designed to be hung up on the wall like a piece of art, and regardless of what size you get, its 4K QLED display is brilliant for watching movies and gaming alike. It also supports AirPlay 2, can download the Apple TV app, and is even Alexa-compatible if you're into that sort of thing. Available in 49, 55, o5 65-inch.
