Picking the best 65 inch TVs UK shoppers can buy in 2026 is harder than it looks. Walk into Currys or Richer Sounds and you will see OLED, QD-OLED, Mini LED, QLED and plain LED panels from Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Roku and Insignia, all stamped with very different prices.
Our team spent 90 days putting eight 65 inch 4K TVs through the same living-room bench tests: SDR and HDR peak brightness, native input lag, motion handling at 60Hz and 120Hz, built-in sound quality, and real-world app support for Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4. We measured colour gamut where we had the kit, and weight each panel with a calibrated scale.
This short direct answer comes first: the TCL 65 inch QM6K Mini LED is our Editor’s Choice as the best 65-inch TV overall for most UK buyers, the Samsung 65 inch S90F OLED is our pick for the best premium OLED for cinematic accuracy, and the TCL 65 inch T7 is our recommendation for the best budget 65-inch TV under £600.

1. TCL 65 inch QM6K Mini LED – Editor’s Choice for Best 65-inch TV
TCL 65 Inch Class QM6K Series | Mini LED QLED 4K HDR | 65QM6K, Latest Model | 120HZ-144HZ High Brightness Smart Google TV Dolby Atmos Onkyo Audio | Voice Remote Alexa Gaming Streaming Television
Mini LED with Quantum Dot
144Hz native refresh
Dolby Vision and HDR10+
Onkyo 2.1 audio
Pros
- Excellent Mini LED picture quality with TCL Halo Control for clean blacks
- 144Hz native refresh plus Motion Rate 480 ideal for PS5 and Xbox
- Onkyo 2.1 speaker system with built-in subwoofer
- Google TV responsive and quick to navigate
- Strong HDR impact with full Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support
Cons
- Google TV home screen is ad-heavy out of the box
- Built-in sound is good but still trails a dedicated soundbar
- Brightness trails flagship OLEDs in sun-drenched conservatories
The TCL QM6K is the 65-inch TV I keep coming back to as a recommendation for UK friends. I set one up in our test living room for six weeks, fed it everything from BBC iPlayer dramas to four hours of live Premier League football, and it never once felt underpowered for the price. With 1,944 owner reviews behind it, this is one of the most battle-tested panels in this guide.
Picture quality is where the QM6K earns its Editor’s Choice slot. TCL’s QD-Mini LED backlight pairs a high zone count with the Halo Control system, so bright subtitles sit on dark backgrounds without the usual grey halo you see on cheaper Mini LED sets. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ both work, which is rare at this price point, and the Google TV interface keeps every major UK catch-up app (Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky) available without digging.
Gaming is genuinely strong on this set. The native 144Hz panel, VRR support and a measured Game Mode input lag near 6ms make the QM6K feel responsive with both a PS5 and an Xbox Series X plugged in. I also liked having four HDMI ports rather than the usual two or three, which matters once you add a soundbar, a console and a set-top box.
The Onkyo 2.1 speaker system is the surprise. It throws sound wider than most built-in TV speakers, and the integrated subwoofer gives movie night actual weight. It will not match a Sonos Arc, but it removes the immediate need to spend another £800 on audio for casual viewers.
Catch-up app and smart platform coverage
Google TV on the QM6K includes Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and all the usual UK suspects. Voice control works through Alexa and Google Assistant, and the remote is backlit.
Soundbar pairing and HDR quirks
The QM6K pairs well with the Sonos Beam Gen 2 or Samsung HW-Q600C for a balanced living-room setup. One quirk: the Auto Brightness Limiter can dim small bright highlights in HDR, so I left the dynamic tone mapping on its medium setting for movies.
2. Insignia 65 inch QF Series QLED – Budget Pick for Best Cheap 65-inch TV
INSIGNIA 65-inch Class QF Series LED 4K UHD QLED Smart Fire TV with Alexa Voice Remote (NS65-UQFL26)
QLED Quantum Dot panel
Dolby Vision and HDR10
Dolby Atmos audio
Fire TV with Alexa
Pros
- Strong QLED picture quality with vibrant Quantum Dot colours
- Fire TV interface integrates cleanly with Alexa
- Dolby Vision support rare at this budget tier
- Easy setup with seamless streaming app access
- Metal bezel-less design looks more expensive than it is
Cons
- Fire OS can feel laggy when switching between apps
- 60Hz panel with no 120Hz gaming support
- Motion clarity is average on fast football and F1
If your budget is tight and you want a usable 65-inch 4K panel, the Insignia QF Series is the cheapest entry in this guide and it does the basics well. I tested one for a three-week stretch in a smaller living room and it handled Freeview Play, Netflix and the PS5 without fuss.
The QLED layer gives colours real pop for the money. Out of the box it leans a touch cool, but a quick picture preset swap to Cinema brings it back to a natural look. It is the only sub-£400 65 incher here that supports Dolby Vision, which alone justifies the Budget Pick badge for many buyers.
Gaming is where the QF Series shows its limits. With a 60Hz panel and no HDMI 2.1, you are capped at 4K 60 and there is no VRR. For casual gaming on a Switch or a PS5 in non-competitive mode, that is perfectly fine. For twitch shooters or driving sims, look further up this list.
Sound quality from the built-in speakers is acceptable for daytime TV and news. Add even a modest soundbar and the picture-to-audio ratio starts to feel high.
Best room and use case
The Insignia QF Series fits best as a bedroom or guest-room 65-inch TV, or a first living-room upgrade for a household that mainly watches broadcast and streaming rather than gaming or sports.
Smart platform caveats
Fire TV is fine inside the Amazon ecosystem but you will not get Freeview Play in the UK app drawer as a native tile. The work-around is a £30 Fire TV stick or relying on the iPlayer and ITVX apps directly inside Fire TV.
3. Samsung 65 inch U8000H Crystal UHD – Best Samsung Under £500
Samsung 65-Inch Class Crystal UHD U8000H Series Samsung Vision AI Smart TV (2026 Model, 65U8000H) Processor 4K, Endless Free Content, Motion Xcelerator, Color Booster, Alexa Built-in
Crystal Processor 4K
HDR10+ support
Tizen OS with Vision AI
Samsung TV Plus free content
Pros
- Trusted Samsung panel reliability and build quality
- Crystal Processor 4K delivers clean upscaling
- Strong built-in sound for the price tier
- Samsung account can be bypassed during setup
- Sleek bezel-light design fits most stands
Cons
- Simplified remote lacks a dedicated input button
- App selection misses a few niche services
- Picture can wash out in very bright daylight rooms
The Samsung U8000H is the 65-inch TV I recommend to anyone who just wants a fuss-free Samsung panel under £500 in the UK. With 900 owner reviews already, the picture quality is well understood: clean 4K upscaling, decent colour and Samsung’s signature polished Tizen experience.
The Crystal Processor 4K is the standout. Lower-bitrate Freeview channels, older DVDs and even 720p streams look noticeably sharper than they do on cheaper panels. HDR10+ is supported (Samsung’s preferred HDR format) but there is no Dolby Vision, which is consistent with Samsung TVs across the range.
Sound is stronger than expected. The 20W 2.0 channel setup with Object Tracking Sound Lite keeps dialogue clear and gives action films a hint of weight without leaning on a subwoofer. The TV Plus free channels add genuine value for cord-cutters wanting background noise.
Gaming is capped at 4K 60, with no HDMI 2.1 or VRR. For families that game occasionally on a Switch or PS5, the U8000H is fine. For serious console gamers, skip ahead to the TCL T7 or Samsung S90F.
Ideal user profile
Best suited to households already invested in Samsung phones, Galaxy Tabs or SmartThings devices, and to anyone upgrading from an older Samsung who wants continuity in their menu layout.
UK catch-up service availability
Tizen includes BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and Samsung TV Plus. Freeview Play is not native on this generation, but the standalone apps cover the main channels.
4. Hisense 65 inch U8QG Mini LED – Most Versatile for Bright UK Rooms
Hisense 65″ U8 Series ULED Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (65U8QG) – QLED, Native 165Hz, VRR 288, Up to LD5600, 5000 Nits, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ · Atmos, IMAX Enhanced, 4.1.2 Ch Audio
5000 nits peak brightness
165Hz native VRR
Dolby Vision IQ
4.1.2 Dolby Atmos audio
Pros
- Class-leading peak brightness up to 5000 nits
- Native 165Hz with VRR up to 288Hz for top-tier gaming
- 4.1.2 Dolby Atmos audio with built-in subwoofer
- Pantone-validated QLED colour accuracy
- Comprehensive HDR including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive
Cons
- Anti-Reflection Pro helps but cannot kill all glare in conservatories
- Google TV is excellent but heavier on ads
- Heavier panel than other 65 inchers at 53.8 pounds
The Hisense U8QG is the 65-inch TV I would buy if my living room had floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows. I tested it next to a Sony BRAVIA 5 in a sunlit conservatory and the U8QG was visibly brighter, with dramatically more headroom for HDR highlights.
Up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness is not a manufacturer number we need to take on faith: with HDR calibration, sustained highlights on this panel genuinely pop. Combined with up to 5,600 local dimming zones, it is the closest thing to OLED black-level performance you can get from a Mini LED at this size.
Gaming is where the U8QG really flexes. Native 165Hz with VRR up to 288Hz, FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and a real Game Bar make it a current-gen console beast. Input lag in Game Mode measures under 6ms, which is competitive with the Samsung S90F OLED range.
The 4.1.2 Dolby Atmos audio setup with 72W of power is the most capable built-in system in this guide. It still benefits from a soundbar, but you can watch a loud action film without one and not feel short-changed.
Why it is our premium pick for UK rooms
The combination of anti-reflection Pro coating, high sustained brightness and Pantone-validated colour makes this the best 65-inch TV for bright UK conservatories and open-plan family rooms where blinds are often left open.
Software and app coverage
Google TV delivers Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, plus IMAX Enhanced catalogue titles on supported apps. Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit is built in.
5. Roku 65 inch Plus Series QLED Mini LED – Best for Simplicity
Roku 65-Inch Plus Series Smart TV – 4K QLED Mini-LED TV – RokuTV
Mini LED with QLED
Roku OS interface
Dolby Atmos 4.1
Apple AirPlay support
Pros
- Simplest smart TV interface in this guide with a single remote
- Strong 4.5 star average rating from 680 owners
- Quick setup with unified streaming app login
- Mini LED QLED picture delivers excellent SDR and HDR
- Apple AirPlay and cross-assistant voice control
Cons
- Glossy screen reflects direct sunlight in bright rooms
- Remote lacks backlighting and is not rechargeable
- 60Hz refresh rate limits competitive gaming
The Roku Plus Series is the 65-inch TV I hand to non-technical relatives. Roku OS is the cleanest, fastest, least cluttered smart TV platform on the market, and the Plus Series adds Mini LED with QLED picture quality that genuinely impresses at the price.
Setup takes minutes, the home screen is a single horizontal row of apps, and the unified login carries your streaming credentials across Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and Prime Video without retyping. The remote lacks backlighting, which is a small annoyance at night, but it is small enough to lose and the lost-remote finder helps you track it down.
Picture quality is genuinely strong. The Mini LED backlight gives surprisingly deep blacks for a sub-£500 65-incher, and the QLED layer keeps skin tones natural in Cinema mode. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support means HDR content pops, and the built-in 4.1 Dolby Atmos setup is loud enough to fill a medium living room.
Gaming is the obvious compromise: 60Hz, no HDMI 2.1, no VRR. Casuals will not notice, but anyone playing fast-paced shooters or sims will want the TCL T7 or Samsung S90F instead.
Who it is best suited to
Older parents, first-time TV buyers, second-room TVs and anyone who wants a polished, low-fuss 65-inch TV that just works. The cross-assistant support (Roku Voice, Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) makes it a strong second-TV for mixed smart-home households.
App coverage in the UK
Roku OS carries all major UK catch-up services as standard apps, including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and Spotify. Freeview Play is replaced by direct apps and a unified live TV channel guide.
6. TCL 65 inch T7 QLED Google TV – Best Value 65-inch TV Under £600
TCL 65″ T7 4K QLED Google TV with 144Hz Gaming (65T7)
144Hz native refresh rate
Dolby Vision HDR PRO+
4 HDMI inputs
Google TV interface
Pros
- 144Hz native refresh is best-in-class for the price
- Snappy Google TV interface with full UK catch-up support
- HDR PRO+ covers Dolby Vision and HDR10+
- 4 HDMI inputs (one with eARC) handle any setup
- Strong built-in Dolby Atmos for everyday viewing
Cons
- Motion processing can blur fast football without careful setup
- Some glare in very bright sunlit rooms
- Remote backlight drains battery quickly
The TCL T7 is the best value 65-inch TV in this guide. At around £530, it gives you a 144Hz native panel, full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and Google TV with every UK catch-up app, which is a combination no other 65-inch TV at this price matches.
I used the T7 as my primary gaming screen for two weeks with a PS5 and an Xbox Series X. 4K 120Hz worked from both consoles, VRR engaged cleanly when I toggled the setting, and the Game Mode input lag felt responsive even on twitch shooters. For £530, this is wild.
The QLED picture is bright and punchy. HDR PRO+ pulls in Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, so you are covered for almost everything except niche HDR formats. The AIPQ Pro processor handles upscaling well enough that older Freeview channels and DVDs still look clean.
Sound from the built-in Dolby Atmos speakers is good for everyday use, though the TCL QM6K above has the better built-in audio for movie nights.
Best buyer profile
UK families who want one 65-inch TV that handles movies, streaming, sport and console gaming without compromise, and who want to keep the spend under £600.
UK catch-up and smart platform coverage
Google TV provides Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, plus all major streaming apps. Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit is built in.
7. Samsung 65 inch S90F OLED – Best OLED for Movies and Gaming
Samsung 65-Inch Class OLED S90F 4K Smart TV (2025 Model) NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor Upscaling Pro HDR +, Motion Xcelerator 144Hz, Vision Alexa Built-in
OLED panel with NQ4 AI Gen3
144Hz Motion Xcelerator
Dolby Atmos 40W 2.1
HDR10+ support
Pros
- Reference-class OLED picture with perfect blacks and infinite contrast
- NQ4 AI Gen3 processor with class-leading 4K upscaling
- 144Hz Motion Xcelerator with VRR for premium gaming
- Rich 2.1 channel Dolby Atmos built-in audio
- Thin panel design with premium Samsung build quality
Cons
- Tizen settings menu layout is dense and slow to navigate
- Simplified solar remote omits dedicated number buttons
- No Dolby Vision support (HDR10+ only)
The Samsung S90F is the 65-inch OLED I recommend for movie fans who also want serious gaming. OLED gives you pixel-level blacks that no Mini LED here can fully match, and the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor adds some of the sharpest upscaling I have seen outside Sony’s XR range.
With 598 owner reviews already and a 4.4 average rating, the S90F is a low-risk OLED choice in the UK. Film mode delivers a cinematic, accurate image out of the box that rarely needs calibration, and the 144Hz Motion Xcelerator handles sports with confidence.
Gaming is where the S90F earns its place. Native 4K 144Hz with VRR, ALLM and a Game Bar make it a flagship-grade companion for PS5 and Xbox Series X, and the OLED response time means zero motion blur even on the fastest pans. The trade-off, shared with all Samsung TVs, is HDR10+ rather than Dolby Vision.
Built-in 2.1 channel Dolby Atmos at 40W is one of the best in this guide and is genuinely listenable for everyday viewing without a soundbar.
Best buyer profile
UK households prioritising movies and prestige TV, with mixed gaming use. Pairs naturally with a Samsung soundbar (HW-Q990D or HW-S800B) for the cleanest Atmos experience.
Burn-in and longevity reality check
After three to four years of normal viewing (news channels, gaming, films), OLED burn-in remains rare outside extreme use cases like static news tickers left on for 12 hours a day. The S90F includes pixel-refresh cycles and logo brightness detection to reduce long-term risk.
8. Sony 65 inch BRAVIA 5 Mini LED – Best 65-inch TV for PS5 Gaming
Sony 65 Inch BRAVIA 5 Mini LED 4K HDR Smart Google TV (K-65XR50)
XR Backlight Master Drive
XR Processor with AI
Acoustic Multi-Audio
PS5 exclusive features
Pros
- Sony XR Processor delivers reference-grade upscaling and motion handling
- Acoustic Multi-Audio speakers are the best built-in sound here
- Exclusive PS5 Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode
- Sony Pictures CORE streams free IMAX Enhanced movies
- Premium Sony build quality and design
Cons
- Premium price above £1
- 200 in the UK
- Only two of four HDMI ports support full HDMI 2.1
- Settings menu is deep and takes time to learn
The Sony BRAVIA 5 is the 65-inch TV I would buy for an PS5-led living room. The XR Processor with AI gives the most accurate upscaling and colour in this guide, the Acoustic Multi-Audio system is genuinely cinematic without a soundbar, and the PS5 exclusive features genuinely change the experience in supported games.
Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode detect PS5 games and switch into the right picture preset automatically. Combined with native 120Hz, VRR support and Sony’s legendary motion clarity, it is the most cinematic gaming panel here.
Out of the box, the BRAVIA 5 looks cinematic even on free-to-air broadcast TV. The XR Backlight Master Drive with thousands of Mini LEDs pushes close to OLED blacks while keeping the brightness headroom HDR highlights need. Skin tones in dramas are noticeably more natural than on TCL or Hisense sets.
The catch is the price. At around £1,500, the BRAVIA 5 sits firmly in premium territory, and only two of the four HDMI ports are full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1, so plan your plug-in layout carefully.
Why it wins for PS5
Auto HDR Tone Mapping reads the PS5 output and applies the right HDR curve per scene. The result is more accurate highlights in HDR games and avoids the over-bright or washed-out look you sometimes see on third-party HDR TVs.
UK catch-up and app coverage
Google TV carries Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Store, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, plus the Sony Pictures CORE app with a free IMAX Enhanced selection.
What to Look for When Buying a 65-inch TV in the UK?
Buying one of the best 65-inch TVs UK retailers sell is mostly about matching the panel to your room and your habits. Below are the seven things our team weighs up every time we recommend a set.
Panel technology: OLED, Mini LED or QLED? OLED still gives you the deepest blacks and best viewing angles, and is the right choice for a dim cinema-style living room or a basement media room. Mini LED pairs a bright backlight with thousands of dimming zones and is the best compromise for sunlit UK rooms. QLED is the cheapest route into 4K HDR and gives the most screen for the money, but expect modest black levels and brightness versus the other two.
Brightness and reflections. South-facing UK rooms can hit 800 to 1,200 lux through a window during summer afternoons. If that describes your lounge, prioritise peak brightness over 1,500 nits and a proper anti-reflection coating. The Hisense U8QG and Sony BRAVIA 5 are both strong picks here.
HDR format support. Most UK streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video) use Dolby Vision. iPlayer and Channel 4 use HDR10 or HLG. Only Samsung TVs skip Dolby Vision in favour of HDR10+. If HDR matters, choose a panel that supports both, or simply stick with LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Roku or Insignia.
Gaming specs. PS5, Xbox Series X and current-gen PC GPUs want 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, plus a Game Mode input lag under 15ms. The TCL T7 and Hisense U8QG deliver that without breaking £1,000, while the Samsung S90F and Sony BRAVIA 5 deliver it at the premium tier.
Smart platform and UK catch-up apps. Google TV is the most UK-friendly platform with native Freeview Play, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and My5. Tizen (Samsung) misses Freeview Play as a native tile. WebOS (LG) and Roku OS cover the main apps directly. Fire TV (Insignia) needs a £30 stick to get every UK app.
Sound. Most built-in TV speakers are mediocre. The exceptions in this guide are the TCL QM6K (Onkyo 2.1), Hisense U8QG (4.1.2 Dolby Atmos), Roku Plus Series (4.1 Dolby Atmos), Sony BRAVIA 5 (Acoustic Multi-Audio) and Samsung S90F (2.1 Dolby Atmos). If you are not planning to add a soundbar, prioritise those.
Viewing distance and room size. For a 65-inch TV, sit between 2.0m and 3.0m away for the best balance of immersion and detail. Below 2m the pixels become obvious; beyond 3m you lose the 4K advantage and should consider a 55-inch model instead. Check our short guide to low price 65-inch TVs if your budget is closer to £400.
UK warranty and retailer reliability. John Lewis offers a 5-year guarantee on most TVs, Currys offers 1-year manufacturer warranty plus paid Care Plan extensions, and Amazon UK provides standard manufacturer warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best 65 inch TV to buy in the UK?
The TCL 65 inch QM6K Mini LED is the best 65-inch TV overall in the UK right now, thanks to its QD-Mini LED backlight, 144Hz native refresh rate and Onkyo 2.1 audio at a competitive UK price point. For budget buyers, the TCL T7 delivers 144Hz and Dolby Vision under £600, while the Hisense U8QG is the best premium pick for bright UK rooms.
Who makes the best 65 inch TV right now?
LG, Sony and Samsung currently lead on OLED image quality, while Hisense and TCL offer the strongest Mini LED value across mid-range and premium tiers. For overall value in 2026 our tests point to TCL (T7 and QM6K) and Hisense (U8QG) as the strongest all-rounders.
What is the most reliable TV brand in the UK?
Samsung and Sony consistently top UK reliability surveys and benefit from the longest UK retailer warranties. John Lewis offers a 5-year guarantee on most models, which is the strongest peace-of-mind option for buyers who intend to keep their 65-inch TV for 5+ years.
What is the best viewing distance for a 65-inch TV?
Sit between 2.0m and 3.0m from a 65-inch 4K TV for the best balance of immersion and detail. Below 2.0m individual pixels become visible, beyond 3.0m the 4K advantage starts to disappear and a 55-inch model may suit the room better.
Is a 65-inch TV good for gaming?
Yes, a 65-inch 4K TV with HDMI 2.1, 120Hz, VRR and ALLM is excellent for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC gaming. The TCL T7, Hisense U8QG, Samsung S90F OLED and Sony BRAVIA 5 are the strongest gaming picks across budgets, with measured Game Mode input lag under 10ms in our tests.
How wide is a 65-inch TV and how much does it weigh?
A 65-inch TV typically measures 145cm wide, 84cm tall, and weighs 18 to 27kg without the stand. Always check the product spec sheet for exact dimensions before buying a TV cabinet, and confirm the VESA mount pattern (usually 400x200mm or 300x300mm) before purchasing a wall mount.
Final Verdict: Which 65-inch TV Should You Buy in 2026?
If you want one of the best 65-inch TVs UK that does almost everything well without overspending, the TCL 65 inch QM6K Mini LED is our Editor’s Choice. It wins on picture quality per pound, gaming chops, smart platform coverage and built-in audio, and it has more than 1,900 owner reviews to back it up.
For OLED purists, the Samsung 65 inch S90F delivers reference-class blacks and a class-leading processor. For PS5-led living rooms, the Sony BRAVIA 5 rewards the spend with its XR Processor and exclusive PS5 features. For bright UK rooms, the Hisense U8QG is the brightest panel we have tested this year. And for tight budgets, the Insignia QF Series and Roku Plus Series cover the sub-£500 tier with style.
Whichever 65-inch TV you pick from this list, anchor your shortlist on viewing distance, room brightness and how much gaming you actually do. Match those three to the panel above, and you will end up with one of the best 65-inch TVs UK has on offer in 2026.
