Summary

  • Samsung’s 65-inch QN65S84FA OLED 4K TV topped Consumer Reports’ 2026 rankings for sets priced below $1,000 after outperforming dozens of tested models.
  • Consumer Reports cited excellent picture quality, fine-detail reproduction, color accuracy, HDR performance, viewing angles and unexpectedly strong built-in sound in a score combining lab tests with owner survey data.
  • Best Buy buyers largely echoed that verdict, praising deep blacks, vibrant colors and contrast, though some reported a clunky Tizen interface, slow software and connectivity issues with Wi-Fi, apps or external devices.
  • Consumer Reports said the model may be less suitable for very bright rooms, and noted shoppers with simpler viewing needs could save a few hundred dollars by choosing a cheaper LED or QLED set.
