Best 4K TVs to buy right now
Size first: 55 inches suits most UK living rooms at a normal sofa distance. OLED gives perfect blacks for films in a dark room; Mini LED and QLED go brighter for sunny rooms and sport. For a PS5 or Xbox, look for HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz. Freeview Play is built into all of these.
Best for films
1. LG OLED evo C6 55-inch
Dolby Vision · 55 inch · OLED evo · 120Hz (VRR 165Hz)
LG's C6 gives OLED's perfect blacks for films, with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Filmmaker Mode, and a 120Hz panel with VRR up to 165Hz for a PS5 or Xbox. The Brightness Booster helps in brighter rooms. As with any OLED, static logos or game HUDs left on screen for long periods carry a risk of burn-in.
Best value Mini LED
2. Samsung M1EH 55-inch Mini LED
Mini LED HDR · 55 inch · Mini LED · Gaming Hub, Motion Xcelerator
A 2026 Mini LED set that goes brighter with deeper contrast than standard LED, which suits sunny living rooms and daytime sport. Samsung's Gaming Hub gathers console, cloud and streaming games in one place. The listing does not state a 120Hz panel, so serious console gamers should look at the Hisense or LG.
Best for gaming
3. Hisense 55Q8 Mini LED
55 inch · Built-in subwoofer · Hi-QLED Mini LED · 144Hz VRR
A native 144Hz game mode with VRR makes this the fastest LCD here for consoles and PCs. Mini LED backlighting adds brightness and contrast, and a built-in subwoofer gives more bass than most TV speakers. Hisense's smart platform is less familiar than Google TV or Fire TV.
Best for Google TV
4. Sony BRAVIA 3 55-inch
Dolby Vision · 55 inch · Direct LED · Google TV, AirPlay 2
Sony's entry BRAVIA runs Google TV with Google Cast and AirPlay 2, so both Android and iPhone households can cast to it. Dolby Vision, Atmos and an X-Balanced speaker aimed at clear dialogue make it a sound film choice. Its direct LED backlight will not match the contrast of the OLED or Mini LED sets above.
Best budget 55 inch
5. Samsung U7020H 55-inch
HDR10+ · 2026 · 4K
One of the best-selling TVs in this list: a 2026 Samsung 55 inch with HDR10+, 4K upscaling and a Football Mode for live matches. A sensible choice for a main living room TV on a tight budget. It is a standard LED panel, so blacks and brightness trail the Mini LED and OLED picks.
Best with Fire TV
6. Toshiba UF3D 50-inch
Dolby Vision · HDMI 2.1 · 50 inch · Fire TV, Freeview Play
A 50 inch set with Fire TV and Alexa built in, plus Freeview Play, Dolby Vision and Onkyo-designed speakers with Dolby Atmos. HDMI 2.1 is listed, which is rare at this size and level. The listing does not say whether the panel runs at 120Hz.
Not available to buy right now
Best 43 inch
7. TCL 43V6D
HDR10+ · 43 inch · HVA · Fire TV, AirPlay 2
A 2026 43 inch 4K set for bedrooms, kitchens and smaller lounges, with Fire TV, Alexa and AirPlay 2. The HVA panel aims at better contrast than a typical budget screen, and Game Master and MEMC motion smoothing help with sport and games. At 43 inches, 4K detail is harder to see from across a large room.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms (specs, battery, compatibility, sizes), and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Each Amazon UK price shows the date and time it was checked. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
