Every year the same thing happens: a wall of new model numbers, brighter-sounding acronyms and "up to" numbers nobody can verify. We cut through it. TV Verdict tests and compares the TVs actually sold in the UK — screen by screen, in pounds, for real rooms.
Six buying situations, six shortlists. Start where you are.
The jump to 100 inches is now a realistic living-room decision rather than a fantasy. We're covering the full-size models available in the UK and what they really cost to run and wall-mount.
144Hz and 165Hz panels, VRR, ALLM and low input lag — the specs that matter for PS5, Xbox and PC, plus the ones that only look good on a spec sheet.
The top of the mainstream range: high zone counts, aggressive peak brightness and full-array local dimming that holds up in a bright British living room.
The newest panel technology to reach UK shelves — RGB backlighting promises wider colour volume without OLED's brightness ceiling. We explain what changes and what doesn't.
Under £600 is where most UK TVs are actually bought. We focus on the models that give up the least: decent brightness, usable smart TV, no nasty surprises.
Matte screens, flush wall mounting and art mode — for rooms where a black rectangle is the problem, not the solution.
Most returns happen because someone bought the wrong size or the wrong panel for their room. These are the comparisons we publish first.
How viewing distance, room brightness and sofa layout decide the right size — with a simple measurement you can do in two minutes.
Doorways, stairwells, wall strength and viewing distance: the practical checklist before you order a 100-inch TV in a UK home.
What higher refresh rates actually deliver on console and PC, and when paying for the extra hertz is money wasted.
No manufacturer loans, no paid placements, no "review units we got to keep". Our process is boring on purpose.
We're currently putting the 2026 UK TV range through testing. Full reviews, head-to-head comparisons and size guides are being published over the coming weeks — starting with the screens where the choice is hardest and the money is biggest.
