Why you can trust our TV reviews

We're not in the pocket of any TV manufacturer because we never take samples. Every one of the almost 200 TVs we test each year was purchased from the same stores you buy from, so we can guarantee the model we review is the same as what you can get.

Our tests are incredibly detailed and each TV stays in our labs for more than a month, as several TV experts with decades of audio and visual experience cast an expert eye (and ear) over everything from colours and contrast to menus and motion control. 

We don't just test high-end TVs, either. We understand that not everyone wants to spend £2,000 on a TV, so we test entry-level sets as well, to make sure we have reviews to suit everyone.

You can spend a fortune on a 65-inch TV and the large screen size means few could possibly be considered cheap. Our tests have found that spending a lot doesn't always guarantee you quality, though, and sometimes flashy features that hike the price don't really make much difference to how they look and sound. Spending less on something basic or mid-range often makes more sense, which is why we test TVs from across a manufacturers range from the cheapest to most expensive.

Where to buy a 60 to 65-inch TV

TVs are sold at most home and tech retailers. Below, we've picked some of the most popular retailers that sell TVs between 60 and 65 inches – they also scored highly in our member survey on the best tech shops.

  • Amazon stocks 60 to 65-inch TVs from most major brands, including Samsung, LG, TCL, Hisense and more, as well as its own-brand Fire TVs. Some are available for around £500, with many costing £1,000 or more. Delivery is free on most models, and if you're a Prime member, there are a range of free delivery options. 
  • John Lewis offers TVs starting from £550 and going up to £3,000. You'll find models from brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. You can also add services like setup, wall mounting and more for additional costs – delivery is free for most TVs.
  • Richer Sounds has TVs from under £500, but most 60 to 65-inch models will set you back at least £1,000. You'll get free standard shipping on all TVs, and you'll find large TVs from brands like LG, Samsung, Philips, TCL and Sony. Richer Sounds was also the winner of our 2024 retailer of the year award.
  • Very carries large TVs from brands including LG, Hisense, Sharp and Samsung. Prices start from just under £500, with most models costing between £700 and £1,200. Delivery won't be free – you'll have to spend an extra £9 for standard delivery, £17 for express and £22 for next-day shipping.

How big is a 60 or 65-inch TV?

Each TV has a different-sized bezel and stand, so there will always be slight variations in the height, width and depth of a TV. 

We've taken the average size of the models we've tested so you can get a good idea of how much space one will take up.

  • 60-inch TV: 86 x 137 x 27cm (H,W,D)
  • 65-inch TV: 89.7 x 145.3 x 30.7 (H,W,D)

How to choose the best 60 or 65-inch TV

While one of these mammoth TVs might not look too big on a vast shop floor, you may only appreciate its true size once it’s sat in your living room – so be sure you have enough space for a TV of this size before you buy.

That said, with bezels shrinking, you may find that you can fit a bigger screen into a similar-sized space to your old TV. You'll find height and width measurements for individual models in the tech specs of our TV reviews.

Plus, almost all new 60 and 65-inch TVs have 4K-resolution screens, allowing you to sit slightly closer than you would for an HD TV, without losing any detail. For the best viewing experience, we recommend you sit at least 14 feet (4.3 metres) away. Use our TV size calculator to work out the size of TV that will best suit your room.

What features do the best 60 to 65-inch TVs have?

If you’ve decided that a 60 or 65-inch TV is for you, here are some features to look out for:

  • 4K ultra HD: You’ll be hard-pushed to find a new 60 or 65-inch TV without 4K. These ultra-high definition screens have four times the number of pixels as Full HD, giving even sharper detail. Check out our what is 4K TV? guide for more. 
  • High Dynamic Range: Otherwise known as HDR, this screen technology should give deeper blacks, brighter whites and more subtlety of tone in between. Available programmes to watch are still few and far between but set to boom over the coming years. For more info on this new technology, take a look at our what is HDR? guide. 
  • Smart TV: This is pretty much a standard feature of most TVs these days, giving access to catch-up and on-demand apps. Some of these big TVs will also include motion-sensitive smart remotes in the box, making navigation around the smart platform easier. We assess the ease-of-use of both smart TV systems and remotes for all the televisions we test – check our full list of TV reviews for more details.
