TVs keep getting bigger, and large screen sizes are becoming more affordable. This doesn't necessarily mean a 65-inch (or larger ) TV is right for you, though. If you have a smaller space or a limited budget, a 55-inch TV might be in your personal Goldilocks zone. I'm a certified TV calibrator and THX home theater expert, and I've tested and evaluated every TV line mentioned on this list. I put TVs through a full battery of tests, including in-depth measurements of brightness, contrast, color accuracy, color range, and latency, using specialized equipment. If you're looking to get the most value for your money, the Hisense U8N is the best TV available in 55 inches, while the LG Evo G5 is our favorite high-end OLED model. But this list includes a range of premium and budget-friendly options to accommodate every buyer.
A note on the individual TV models above: We generally test one screen size of a given TV line and extrapolate its performance to other screen sizes, barring any significant differences in specs. We expect similar performance between screen sizes, and for reference, we note which specific model is tested in the linked review. If there isn't an italicized statement below the first paragraph clarifying this, then the 55-inch screen size is the one that was tested.
Finally, if you aren't sure what size screen is right for you, our guide can help you determine which one is best. While you're at it, be sure to read up on the best cheap TVs , the best TVs for gaming, and the best TVs overall .
