Buying Guide

New vs refurbished vs second‑hand

At a £200 budget you are almost always looking at refurbished or second‑hand 65‑inch sets — new 65″ TVs sell for considerably more. Check the seller’s warranty, return policy and whether the set has been professionally refurbished; buying locally and inspecting the panel in person reduces risk.

Screen resolution and panel performance

Aim for a 4K (3840×2160) panel — anything below will look soft at 65″ from typical viewing distances. Also check refresh rate (most budget sets are 50–60Hz), HDR support (HDR10 is common), and real‑world brightness, as very cheap panels tend to be dim and wash out HDR.

Smart TV platform and app support

Make sure the smart platform supports UK apps you use (iPlayer, All 4, Netflix UK). Refurbished sets sometimes run older software; prefer Android TV/Google TV, Roku or VIDAA for longer support and a familiar app store.

Connectivity and ports

Check the number and type of HDMI ports (HDMI 2.0 vs 2.1), USBs, optical audio and an ethernet socket if you want a reliable smart experience. If you plan to use a games console, look for low input lag and at least HDMI 2.0 — HDMI 2.1 is rare at this price even second‑hand.

Room, installation and audio

Measure the room and seating distance — a 65″ needs roughly 2–3 metres for comfortable 4K viewing. Cheap or older 65″ TVs have weak built‑in speakers, so budget for a soundbar or external audio if you care about sound quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best 65 inch TV in 2026?

For overall picture quality in 2026, premium 65″ OLED and high‑end QLED sets from manufacturers like LG, Samsung and Sony are at the top, but they cost several hundred to over a thousand pounds. If you’re limited to around £200 you’ll need to look at refurbished or used 65″ LED sets rather than a current flagship.

Is a 65 inch TV worth buying in the UK?

Yes if you have the space and sit at an appropriate distance (roughly 2–3 metres for 4K); you get a much more cinematic experience than smaller screens. At a £200 budget you should expect compromises in brightness, HDR performance and sound unless you buy a good refurbished unit.

Which 65 inch TV offers the best value for money?

Value depends on whether you want new or used. For new sets, mid‑range models from Hisense, TCL and Samsung typically offer the best balance; under £200, refurbished 65″ 4K LED sets from reputable sellers represent the best value but inspect condition and warranty carefully.

Hisense vs TCL — which should I buy?

Both brands commonly appear in the budget and refurbished market. Hisense often provides slightly better panel brightness and picture processing for the price, while TCL is strong on smart platforms (Google TV/Android) and user experience; choose based on the specific set’s condition and software support.

Can I buy a new 65 inch TV for under £200 in the UK?

Practically no — new 65″ TVs from major brands normally start several hundred pounds and go up into four figures. If you see a brand‑new 65″ advertised under £200, treat it with suspicion and check seller credibility closely.

Where can I find 65 inch TVs under £200?

Look at Amazon Warehouse, Currys Outlet, eBay (trusted sellers), CEX, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and local auction sites for refurbished or second‑hand units. Prefer listings with a return policy or short warranty and, if possible, view in person before buying.

What are common pitfalls when buying a cheap 65 inch TV?

Common issues include dead pixels, panel burn, missing features (no HDR or low brightness), missing or damaged ports, unexpected delivery costs and no warranty. Always ask about tested functionality, request photos of the panel powered on, and prefer sellers who offer a short guarantee.

Should I budget for extras apart from the TV price?

Yes — expect to pay for delivery (large‑screen delivery can be costly), a wall mount or stand, and a soundbar or external speakers to make up for poor built‑in audio. Factor in disposal or recycling costs if replacing an old set.
