3 models · updated 2026-07-01
The verdict
LG C5 OLED leads — 2 of 3 models rank LG C5 OLED the top pick.
Not unanimous: Claude picks LG G5 OLED.
As of 2026-07-01, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini collectively rank LG C5 OLED #1 for 65-inch tv under $1500 on ModelsAgree by aggregate score. The models' case: best all-around mix of OLED contrast, accurate color, Dolby Vision, strong processing, 4K/144Hz gaming, and four HDMI 2.1 ports when the 65-inch is near $1500. The models' main caveat: higher full-screen brightness for sunny rooms. The strongest alternative is Samsung S90F OLED — punchier OLED brightness and color than most WOLED sets, excellent gaming features, very low input lag, and strong sale pricing. Not unanimous: Claude picks LG G5 OLED. Source: https://modelsagree.com/best/best-65-inch-tv-under-1500 (modelsagree.com, CC BY 4.0).

Claude TCL QM8/QM851G 65-inch — elite Mini-LED brightness and value, but more blooming and weaker viewing angles than the OLEDs above
Gemini LG B5 OLED — Missed top 5 because it has lower peak brightness and only two HDMI 2.1 ports compared to the LG C5 and Samsung S90F · Samsung QN90F Neo QLED — Missed top 5 because its clearance price frequently fluctuates above the $1,500 budget and it lacks Dolby Vision support
