Best 65-inch OLED TVs in the UK (September 2026)
65 inches is the most popular size for OLED TVs: big enough to feel cinematic in an average living room, without dominating the space. From a typical sofa distance of 2.5 to 3 metres it fills your view nicely, and 4K detail is easy to appreciate.
We've compared the six best 65-inch OLEDs available in the UK in 2026. If you're choosing between brands, pay attention to the HDR formats column: Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision, while LG, Sony and Panasonic do.

Detailed write-ups
Best overall1. LG OLED evo C6 (2026) – 65-inch
Our verdict: LG's most popular OLED gets a faster processor and 165Hz gaming in 2026, and remains the benchmark all-rounder.
Best for: The best all-round OLED for films, sport and gaming
a2z score: 9.3 Price band: Mid-to-premium
The C-series is the OLED most people should buy, and the 2026 C6 keeps that crown. Every pixel lights itself, so you get perfect blacks, infinite contrast and wide viewing angles, which is ideal for dark-room film nights and fast sport alike.
New for 2026 is LG's α11 AI Gen3 processor, borrowed from the pricier G-series, for sharper upscaling of TV channels and streaming. Gamers get four HDMI 2.1 ports, refresh rates up to 165Hz, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support, so it works brilliantly with a PS5, Xbox or gaming PC.
It supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, which Samsung's OLEDs don't, and runs LG's webOS smart platform with all the major UK and Irish streaming apps.
What we like
- Perfect blacks and contrast
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports, 165Hz gaming
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos
- Wide range of sizes from 42" to 83"
Watch out for
- Not as bright as the G6 or Samsung S95H in sunny rooms

2. LG OLED evo G6 (2026) – 65-inch
Our verdict: LG's flagship gallery-style OLED: much brighter than the C6, with an ultra-low-reflection screen designed to hang flush on the wall.
Best for: The brightest LG OLED, made for wall-mounting
a2z score: 9.1 Price band: Premium
The G6 uses LG's Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panel, which stacks separate red, green and blue light layers for significantly higher brightness and richer colour than standard OLEDs. LG says it reaches peak brightness several times higher than its entry-level B6, and in practice HDR films and sport look punchy even in a bright living room.
Its Reflection Free Premium screen coating cuts glare from windows and lamps dramatically. The slim 'gallery' design is intended to be wall-mounted, so check whether a table stand is included in your country if you need one.
Gaming features match the C6: four HDMI 2.1 ports, 165Hz, G-Sync and FreeSync. If your room is bright or you want the best picture LG makes, the G6 is worth the premium.
What we like
- Very bright for an OLED
- Excellent anti-reflection screen
- Slim, flush wall-mount design
- Dolby Vision and 165Hz gaming
Watch out for
- Expensive
- Table stand may cost extra
- The 97-inch model uses a different, less bright panel

3. Samsung S95H OLED (2026) – 65-inch
Our verdict: Samsung's flagship QD-OLED with a matte glare-free screen, class-leading HDR brightness and a new 48-inch size.
Best for: Bright rooms: the best glare-free OLED
a2z score: 9.1 Price band: Premium
The S95H uses Samsung Display's QD-OLED panel (in the 55-inch and larger sizes), which produces exceptionally bright, saturated colours. Its matte Glare Free screen all but eliminates reflections, making it the OLED to choose if your living room gets a lot of daylight.
Gamers get four HDMI 2.1 ports and up to 165Hz, and Samsung's Tizen platform includes the Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud gaming without a console. New for 2026, the S95H gains Samsung's Art Store, so it can display artwork when you're not watching.
The big caveat: Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision, using HDR10+ instead. Most streaming services also offer HDR10+ or HDR10 versions, but film fans with a large Dolby Vision library may prefer LG or Sony.
What we like
- Class-leading brightness and colour
- Matte glare-free screen
- Four HDMI 2.1, up to 165Hz
- Art Store and slim design
Watch out for
- No Dolby Vision support
- Premium price
- Matte screen can slightly lift blacks in bright light

4. Sony BRAVIA 8 II (QD-OLED) – 65-inch
Our verdict: Sony's QD-OLED is prized for accurate, film-like picture processing, excellent motion and Dolby Vision support.
Best for: Film lovers who want the most natural picture
a2z score: 9.0 Price band: Premium
Sony's strength has always been processing, and the BRAVIA 8 II combines it with a bright QD-OLED panel. Skin tones look natural, motion in sport is smooth without looking artificial, and upscaled TV channels are among the cleanest of any brand.
Unlike Samsung, Sony supports Dolby Vision, and its Acoustic Surface Audio+ system turns the screen itself into a speaker, so dialogue appears to come from the actors' mouths. It runs Google TV, with every major streaming app.
Gamers should note there are only two HDMI 2.1 ports and the refresh rate tops out at 120Hz, which is fine for PS5 and Xbox but less flexible than LG or Samsung. It's available only in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes in the UK and Ireland.
What we like
- Superb natural picture processing
- Bright QD-OLED panel
- Dolby Vision support
- Screen-as-speaker audio
Watch out for
- Only two HDMI 2.1 ports
- 120Hz maximum
- Only 55" and 65" sizes

5. Samsung S90H OLED (2026) – 65-inch
Our verdict: Samsung's mid-range OLED gives you four HDMI 2.1 ports and 165Hz gaming in more sizes, from 42 to 83 inches.
Best for: Value OLED with strong gaming features
a2z score: 8.8 Price band: Mid-range
The S90H is Samsung's value-focused OLED. It covers more sizes than the S95H, including compact 42-inch and 48-inch models, and keeps the gaming essentials: four HDMI 2.1 ports and refresh rates up to 165Hz.
Depending on size and region, it uses either a WOLED or a QD-OLED panel, so check the listing if the panel type matters to you. It isn't as bright as the S95H and lacks the matte glare-free finish, but it's often priced competitively against LG's C6.
As with all Samsung TVs, there's HDR10+ but no Dolby Vision.
What we like
- Competitive pricing
- Four HDMI 2.1, 165Hz gaming
- Wide choice of sizes
- Tizen with Gaming Hub
Watch out for
- No Dolby Vision
- Panel type varies by size
- Less bright than the S95H

6. Panasonic Z95B OLED (2025) – 65-inch
Our verdict: Panasonic's flagship OLED is tuned by Hollywood colourists, supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and has a powerful built-in sound system.
Best for: Great built-in sound and support for every HDR format
a2z score: 8.7 Price band: Premium
Panasonic is one of very few brands that supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, so whatever format your streaming service uses, you get the best version. Its picture is tuned with professional colourists for an accurate, cinematic look.
The built-in 360° Soundscape Pro speaker system is far better than typical TV audio, so many buyers won't need a soundbar. Smart features come from Amazon's Fire TV platform with Alexa built in, and there are Game Mode Extreme settings for PS5 and Xbox.
It's a 2025 model, so look out for discounts as new stock arrives.
What we like
- Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+
- Excellent built-in sound
- Accurate, cinematic picture
- Fire TV with Alexa
Watch out for
- Only two HDMI 2.1 ports
- Fire TV interface shows lots of Amazon content
- 2025 model

Buying guide
WOLED, Tandem or QD-OLED: what's the difference?
WOLED (used by LG and some Samsung and Panasonic models) is the classic OLED design, with excellent blacks and a natural picture. Primary RGB Tandem panels (LG G6 and C6H) stack extra light layers for higher brightness. QD-OLED (Samsung S95H, Sony BRAVIA 8 II) uses quantum dots for especially vivid, bright colours.
All of them produce stunning pictures. The differences matter most in very bright rooms, where the brighter Tandem and QD-OLED panels have the edge.
Dolby Vision vs HDR10+
Both are premium HDR formats that adjust the picture scene by scene. Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV+ use Dolby Vision heavily, while Amazon Prime Video supports HDR10+. Samsung TVs only support HDR10+; LG and Sony only support Dolby Vision; Panasonic supports both. You'll still get a great HDR picture either way.
Is OLED burn-in still a worry?
Modern OLEDs use pixel-shifting, logo dimming and automatic panel refresh cycles, so burn-in is rare with normal mixed viewing. If you watch one news channel with a static logo for many hours a day, vary your viewing or check the manufacturer's warranty terms.
