We don't have any nits or color claims from Toshiba, so you're going to have to wing it on that front. But if all you care about is size, then the Toshiba is a great deal.

All of the TVs you see above are just under $1000, and that's because all of the better LG TVs find themselves at over $1000, and for good reason -- they're great TVs.

But unfortunately, not all of us have great wallets, so whether you need a quality TV on the cheap, like the TCL 55" Class 4-Series 4K TV, or a big TV on the cheap, like the Toshiba 75" Class C350 Series LED 4K TV, we got you covered.

My personal favorites on this list are of course the Sony 55" Bravia XR A90J OLED TV and the Samsung 65" Class Q70C QLED TV, which are excellent TVs for massive discounts. And if you're looking for something in the middle, then the TCL 65" Class Q7 Q-Class 4K QLED TV should suit you just fine.

Overall, you should save your money and go for a more affordable but quality TV. Hey, I love LG TVs too, but they don't love us.
