Best 65 inch TVs for a living room

Top pick: TCL QM8L 65" — a mini-LED set with the brightness and contrast that make a bright living room look its best, and the strongest owner rating of the group. It's the one I'd buy for a main room.

Who the others suit:

• Sony BRAVIA 3 II (2026) — best all-rounder for movies and sport: 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision, Google TV with Gemini.
• Roku Plus Series — mini-LED and Dolby Vision for far less; great if you want a big step up on a budget.
• Samsung The Frame — if the TV has to look like art on the wall rather than a black rectangle.
• Sony Bravia 8 II — OLED, for a dim room and film lovers who want perfect blacks.
• TCL 65V6C / Hisense A6 — simple, cheap everyday sets for a spare room or casual viewing.

Skip the 50-inch Hisense QD7QF — wrong size for a living room.
