The best 65-inch smart TVs of 2024

Not QLED, not OLED, but a combination of both - this is Samsung's S95B - the next step up in TV screen technology. Samsung's unfathomably brilliant combination of both quantum dot and OLED screen technology offers the absolute best of both worlds - with depth, brightness, speed, and an ultra-thin design, there really isn't much this top-tier television can't handle.

Alongside the S95 B's ultra-thin design are the seriously phenomenal 60 W speakers that pack a real punch while hosting a home movie night (followed by some next-generation gaming). There's Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony for pairing the internal speakers with a soundbar too.

Despite being at our top spot, the S95B isn't the cheapest 65-inch TV, of course. Those with deep enough pockets might consider getting an 8K TV instead - but to those who can just about afford this television, we can't recommend it enough.

Hisense's 65A6BGTUK perfectly balances value with features. It gives those with under £500 to spend a chance to get their hands on a truly gigantic television. The picture is solid, and features like ALLM Game Mode, which reduces input lag for gamers, and DTS Virtual X sound adds an extra shot of power to the package.

Sure, this is an LED screen rather than the technical perfection of more expensive OLED TVs. The build itself is somewhat plasticky around the bezel and feet. However, what you lose in these areas, you gain in the TV's excellent features. Dolby Vision is thrown in for the very best in HDR colour palette performance. And then there's Alexa built-in for voice control. Dedicated Sports and Game modes will adjust the TV to bring some technical finesse to your viewing.

So, the 65A6BGTUK rises above many other mid-budget offerings based on sheer value for money. We think this is an impressive 65-inch television with more than its fair share of beautifying features to keep you watching and gaming for years to come.

Many of us mainly use our TVs for streaming services nowadays, and that's an area where the Amazon Fire TV excels. The OS is simple to follow, and with the power of Alexa, you can navigate it without even needing to reach for the remote. Going between streaming apps has never been easier.

This TV features an outstanding 4K display with quantum dot technology that provides a great sense of brightness and contrast. If you want to get the best visuals out of your favourite series, you can count on this Fire TV to do so.

Even the physical design is great. It's a fairly thin build with ports located on the side, which means you have easy access to your HDMI and other cables without stretching around to the back. This way, cable management is super easy.

TCL has recently found meteoric popularity amongst budget television shoppers - and for good reason. TCL's 65P639K is one of the most affordable 4K LED 65-inch televisions on the market, offering an enormous range of simply brilliant technical features at its price. Including Dolby Audio, HDR10 and Google and Alexa voice assistants.

Aside from the enormous screen, we particularly like the ultra-thin, practically bezel-less design of temphasiseP639K - which serves only to emphasise the sheer scale of such a massive screen. In terms of picture quality, the screen itself is incredibly solid, possessing a respectable amount of depth that is rarely experienced on a smart television of this price. You can thank the LEDs for that.

As for refresh rate, it's only 60hz - more than enough for most, but gamers and sports fans are likely to want higher. The sound would also benefit from a soundbar. That said, with all of the features this TCL has under the bonnet, we can't fault it too much. For capturing a stadium-side feel, with bold colour, excellent scale and a thin bezel design - at its price, the TCL is one of the best options on the market, and we'd be hard-pressed not to recommend it thoroughly.

Samsung's BU8000 has quickly become one of our favourite 4K TVs this year. From its terrific picture quality to its unbeatable price, there really isn't much you can fault about it.

Utilising Samsung's Dynamic Crystal Colour technology, the BU8000's picture is brimming with life, despite not being a fully-fledged QLED or OLED screen. It even has Alexa voice control built-in. Rich colours, a stunning AirSlim design, and its less than £1,000 price tag unquestionably place Samsung's BU8000 firmly ahead of most of its budget competition, and it's no wonder why.

Easily taking the top spot, LG's C2 OLED TV is the absolute cutting edge when it comes to the fastest response times, some of the most gorgeous picture quality, and of course, its ultra-modern aesthetic.

At 120Hz with a lightning-fast 0.1ms response time - gaming has never felt better on television before, and with its OLED screen technology, its picture delivers a wonderful, immersive depth that simply isn't achievable with a QLED television.

A large concern with OLED televisions is that they're not quite as bright as their QLED counterparts, but with the C2's peak brightness sitting comfortably at 800 nits - this flaw is now a distant thought, there's really nothing you can explicitly critique about the screen itself.

The price is evidently quite staggering, but considering the second-to-none quality, there's really no better option for your home.

Combining astounding value and creative innovation, Philips' 65PUS7956/12 4K TV is a downright solid choice for any home - cinema enthusiasts, gamers, sport heads, and Netflix fingers alike.

Bursting with colour, in no small part thanks to the particularly excellent HDR10+, as well as Philips' patented Ambilight technology, the 65PUS7956/12 exudes a quality that greatly overshadows its relatively low price.

Size, scale, Philips has successfully brought a 4K into the market that offers wonderful picture quality with little to no true drawbacks. The same cannot be said, however, about the Philips' 65PUS7956/12's sound - which admittedly is lacking some heft to match its size, but it's a small price to pay for what is still remarkable value.

It is exceedingly rare to find a QLED television, let alone a Samsung television, for under £1,000, and yet Samsung's Q60B at 65 inches is precisely that.

Endlessly brilliant with countless immersive features for drawing in the eye, such as Motion Plus, Q-Symphony for that extra flair of drama and, of course, the stunning QLED screen with 100 per cent colour volume - now that's a bargain. The picture is, needless to say, rather excellent on the Q60B - with a brightness and colour density only capable with QLED technology - it's truly a bargain, through and through, with its price being comparable to most 43-inch 4K TVs on the market.

Gamers, however, may be disappointed by its thicker bezels leading to some loss of immersion - and yet a big screen and plenty of brightness are enough to keep us compelled while gaming for countless hours.

Seamless, breathtaking design, elegantly constructed to blend into your lounge area as if it were a painting: Samsung's The Frame is a seriously masterful QLED smart television through and through, with very few genuine flaws to be concerned about.

Easily one of the thinnest QLED televisions available, designed to sit comfortably flush with your lounge wall for the perfect painting-esque finish, The Frame's design encompasses minimalistic modern electronic aesthetics while also harkening back to a time when a work of art might have been mounted on your central lounge wall as opposed to a flat-screen television.

The Frame, however, is anything but old-fashioned when it comes to its technological capabilities, where it's considered a frontrunner in the smart TV competition. Bright, sharp and beautiful - colours truly emanate from The Frame (which is more than apparent while using its' Art Mode', which displays a selection of world-renowned masterpieces when you're not getting stuck into a TV show or three-hour film epic.

Where Samsung's The Frame begins to lag, however, is its slightly lack-lustre sound quality - which is surprising considering the sheer audio power the QLED smart TV has. The sound on this majestic screen takes a partial hit in quality - from all the precision of the picture itself, the speakers sound fairly muddy and lack clarity - perhaps a solid TV soundbar like the Denon DHT (read our full review) might do the trick at elevating your cinematic experience to another level.

Possibly the ultimate in immersive home entertainment, Samsung's QN900B is an astonishing example of what 8K TVs can offer. The 65" QLED screen is truly stunning; the image is bright, colours are deep and naturally vibrant - thanks to HDR10+. The edgeless Infinity Screen design adds to the viewing experience, bringing a panoramic window to mind.

The Neo Quantum Processor continuously analyses and tweaks your media to provide the best possible picture, upscaled or otherwise. And it all happens without you noticing. 120hz VRR and Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM) are there to help gamers retain their lightning-fast reflexes. The QN900B has a staggering 10 speakers sitting behind the screen, helping to create audio immersion. If you have synchronise Samsung's Q- Symphony will synchronise the in-built speakers with it. This is further enhanced with the use of Object Tracking Sound Pro, which allows the origin of the sound to follow an object across the screen.
