Which TV should I buy?

The TVs worth considering in the UK right now, grouped by budget. Most have Freely built in, so live channels arrive through your aerial or your broadband with no extra box.

Three things to check first

  1. Aerial or not. No aerial socket where the TV goes? Choose a Freely TV and it streams the live channels over broadband.
  2. The apps you use. Check NOW, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and the catch-up apps run on it. Our app comparison covers boxes and sticks too.
  3. Size for the room. Most living rooms suit 50 to 65 inches. Measure the wall or stand, not just the screen.

Under £300

Every one of these has Freely built in, so you get live aerial and broadband channels in one guide, with no box and no subscription.

£300 to £450

Better brightness, smoother motion and stronger sound. Worth it for a main living-room TV or for gaming.

Premium OLED

Deep blacks and the best picture in a dark room. Prices vary by size and retailer.

Other popular ranges

Well-known ranges without Freely built in. Add a streaming stick for the UK catch-up apps if needed.
