Start with the screen size that fits the room, then decide whether films, everyday television or gaming matters most. Our opening shortlist compares two specific UK sizes with different priorities. We keep the picture assessment separate from offers: an older model can become attractive when its total price falls, but a sale cannot add a missing feature.

How we choose and describe these picks
These are researched shortlists, not WantThis hands-on tests. The reasons to compare a product are our editorial judgement. We attribute a reviewer’s findings to that publication, label specification-led choices and do not infer an owner consensus from star ratings. A reference to a publisher is not an endorsement of WantThis.
Each offer is a separate dated check for the named model and bundle. Unknown delivery, unavailable stock, membership prices and expired checks stay out of budget results. We do not call a price a saving without comparable price-history evidence.
Before you compare prices
Reviews of one screen size do not automatically describe every size in the range.
A gaming acceleration label is not proof of native 4K at 120Hz; check the actual input and panel specifications.
Measure the stand and viewing position, and check the apps you use before buying.
Find a pick for your budget
Budget results use public offers checked within 24 hours, including the stated standard delivery. These are dated checks, not live prices or a search of every shop. Confirm your postcode, stock and final total at checkout.
2 picks to compare
50-inch
TCL C6KS 50-inch
50C6KS-UK, 50-inch
A good fit for: A smaller living-room screen for films and everyday viewing
Why it makes our shortlist
This is the first model we would compare when someone wants a sensible 50-inch shortlist and picture quality matters more than buying the largest screen. Its Mini LED approach gives a useful reason to investigate it beyond the headline size. Check the total against other 50-inch sets and leave room for any sound or installation needs.
The trade-off: Do not buy it for native 4K/120Hz gaming. The review applies to the 50-inch model; the sound system and other details can differ on larger sizes.
Check the package: Check the retailer’s box contents, stand and UK model suffix. Wall mounting and installation are separate decisions.
A good fit for: Someone who prioritises screen area for ordinary viewing
Why it makes our shortlist
Consider this if the room genuinely needs a 65-inch screen and the price leaves a meaningful saving against more capable models. Our reason to include it is the size-led choice: it gives buyers a concrete comparison with the smaller TCL rather than pretending the two purchases solve exactly the same problem.
The trade-off: The panel is 60Hz and lacks true local dimming. The review finds limitations in Filmmaker Mode, so this is a qualified shortlist option rather than our enthusiast picture pick.
Check the package: Confirm the 65-inch UK variant and stand dimensions. A wall bracket, installation and streaming subscriptions are extra.
Why is there sometimes no TV within my selected budget?
We only put a model in a price band when a recent public offer confirms the exact variant, stock and delivery total. An old review price is not enough.
Will a bigger screen always be a better buy?
No. Compare viewing distance, stand space and picture features before size. A deal on the wrong size is not useful.
