TVs and televisions: features that matter for UK homes
From compact 32-inch sets to cinematic big screens, modern TVs bring together 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR, and smart platforms for on-demand viewing. Focus on the essentials: picture quality (OLED, QLED or LED), screen size for your room, motion handling for sport, and connectivity such as HDMI 2.1 for gaming. For everyday live channels and catch-up in the UK, models with built-in Freeview Play simplify setup. If you’re budgeting, look for energy-efficient televisions with clear A–G ratings to keep running costs low while still getting the best price on a feature-rich smart TV.
Why choosing the right TV pays off
A well-matched TV improves everything you watch. A 55-inch 4K screen can transform films and series with sharper detail, while OLED excels in dark rooms thanks to its deep contrast, and QLED/LED sets offer bright images that suit daylight viewing. Gamers benefit from 120Hz refresh rates and variable refresh technologies for smoother play. Families appreciate intuitive smart TV menus and voice search, and UK-friendly features like Freeview Play for live and catch-up. Choosing the right size and spec means better value over time—clearer pictures, lower energy use, and fewer compromises.
Explore the range: sizes, panels and use cases
There’s a television for every space and budget. Smaller screens are ideal for kitchens, spare rooms or caravans, while 55–65 inch TVs suit most living rooms, and larger sizes deliver a true home‑cinema feel. Panel choice is about your room and habits: OLED for cinematic contrast, QLED/LED for bright rooms and daytime sport, with HDR formats enhancing colour and highlights across both. If you need a compact setup for travel or temporary spaces, take a look at Portable TVs & Monitors. For guest rooms and venues, Hospitality TVs bring extra controls and durability. When you’re ready to browse the full category, you can start with the latest TVs and then narrow by size, resolution, refresh rate or energy rating.

FAQ: TVs, prices and finding the right fit
How do I choose the right TV size for my room?
Measure your seating distance and match it to screen size: as a rule of thumb, viewing distance is roughly 1.4–1.6× the screen diagonal for 4K TVs. For example, around 2.5–3.0 m suits many 55–65 inch screens. Consider wall-mounting and viewing height so the centre of the screen is near eye level when seated.
Where can I find the best price ("meilleur prix") on a 55-inch 4K smart TV in the UK?
Decide your must-have features first (panel type, HDR support, HDMI 2.1), then filter by size and energy rating. Look for seasonal promotions, clearance of last year’s models and bundle offers on delivery or installation. Keeping criteria consistent helps you spot genuine value rather than the cheapest headline price.
Are cheap ("pas cher") TVs reliable, and what should I check before buying?
Budget TVs can be excellent value if you prioritise the essentials. Check panel type (IPS/VA), HDR support, the smart platform’s app selection, and the energy label. Ensure there are enough HDMI ports for your devices. Reviews of motion handling and upscaling are useful if you watch sport or standard-definition channels.
OLED vs QLED: which is better for films, sport and gaming?
OLED offers perfect blacks and superb contrast—great for films in dim rooms. QLED/LED sets can get brighter, helping with daylight viewing and vivid sport coverage. For gaming, look for low input lag and features like 120Hz and VRR; both panel types can perform brilliantly when paired with the right specs.
Do I need HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz for next‑gen gaming?
If you want 4K at high frame rates and smoother motion, yes—HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz panel are ideal. Also look for ALLM (auto low latency mode) and VRR (variable refresh rate) to reduce tearing and lag. Casual players may be fine with 60Hz, but competitive gamers benefit from the extra headroom.
What features matter for UK live TV and catch‑up?
Freeview Play provides access to the main UK channels with integrated catch‑up. A reliable Wi‑Fi/Ethernet connection and ample app support are important for streaming. If reception is weak, consider placement, aerial quality, or a set with good tuner sensitivity.
How can I cut running costs and pick an energy‑efficient television?
Choose a higher energy rating (closer to A on the A–G scale), enable eco modes, reduce backlight levels to suit your room, and use automatic power-saving features. Larger screens draw more power, so balance size with efficiency if you watch for many hours daily.
