When you look at our product reviews, you may wonder: Do I have to pay top dollar to get a TV with great picture quality? Or a phone that takes nice photos? Often, the answer is no. Still, there are times when pricier products may offer more features, or do one thing especially well. So when is it worthwhile to make that extra investment? Here, CR’s experts weigh in on what’s good to pay more for—and what’s not. Plus: Our picks for tech gear you’ll love, at higher and lower prices.

Televisions
Price Range: $150 to $4,000

Why are some models so pricey?
The most expensive TVs have all the latest features, plus cutting-edge screens that reach very high brightness levels and provide excellent contrast. This helps them earn top scores not just for picture quality but also for high dynamic range (HDR) performance. TVs with great HDR can produce more vivid images, exposing rich details in the darkest and brightest areas of a scene.

Is it worth paying more?
For those who want the most lifelike, vibrant picture a TV can deliver—think cinephiles and sports fans—the answer is yes. Top models can also offer sound quality that lets you hear every bit of dialogue and wide viewing angles to ensure a clear picture for those seated on the fringes of family movie night. But the high-performing 65-inch sets below provide all these features at a range of prices.
