Finding the best TVs available in 58 or 60 inches is difficult. There aren't many models available in these sizes, as manufacturers focus more on 55- and 65-inch models, the two most popular TV sizes. If you're limited in space and you want the best 60-inch TV or even the best 58-inch TV, you're also limiting yourself to the choice and performance of the TVs you can get, as they don't tend to have the best picture quality compared to models available in other sizes. If you're willing to get something smaller, check out the best 55-inch TVs, and if you can get something bigger, look into the best 65-inch TVs.
We've bought and tested more than 430TVs, and below are our recommendations for the best 58- and 60-inch TVs.

The best 60-inch 4k TV that we've tested is the Samsung QN60Q60BAFXZA. It's the entry-level model in Samsung's 2022 QLED lineup, so it's less feature-rich than the higher-end models and has worse picture quality, but it's the only model available in a 60-inch size. It's also increasingly difficult to find, so consider moving up to a 65-inch unit from this TV's successor, the Samsung Q60C QLED. It's bright enough to overcome glare in a bright room, and it looks great in a dark room thanks to its high contrast ratio, although it lacks a local dimming feature to further improve contrast.
It has smart features similar to the higher-end Samsung models, including the built-in Tizen platform. It's easy to use and has a great selection of apps to download, so you don't have to worry about buying an external streaming device to watch your favorite shows or movies. It could be more feature-rich for gamers, though, as it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and doesn't support advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate technology. It does have extremely low input lag, so gaming is fast and responsive.

The Samsung UN58CU7000FXZA is the best budget TV we've tested in a 58-inch size. It's a lower-end TV than the Samsung Q60/Q60B QLED. This model won't have the same picture quality or features, but it's still an okay TV. Its SDR peak brightness is mediocre, so it's not bright enough to fight glare in a bright room and is better suited for a moderately lit or dark room. It has poor HDR brightness, so highlights don't pop the way they should in HDR content. It has a faster response time, especially in bright scenes, so it's good for fast action in sports, movies, and video games. The contrast is good, but it lacks a local dimming feature to improve it further, and it also doesn't support DTS 5.1 through ARC, so it's not as good of a home entertainment TV.
It has the 2023 version of Samsung's Tizen OS smart platform, and like on other budget models, it's pared down a bit compared to the version you find on higher-end models. However, it's still plenty fast andeasy to useand has an extensive app selection. This TV also comes with a recent Samsung remote, which requires batteries and lacks the voice control options of more expensive models.

Our recommendationabove is what we think are currently the best 60-inch TVs to buy for most people. We factor in the price (a cheaper TV wins over apricier one if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no TVs that are difficult to findor almostout of stock everywhere).
If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is the list of all our reviews of 58-60 inch TVs. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While noTV is perfect, most TVs are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.
