Rank #8 in Best 65 Inch TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and Two Contradict Their Own Specs
Samsung U8000F 65-inch Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Samsung U8000F 65-inch Crystal UHD 4K is the set at number 8 in this guide, listed at £415.00 with 4.1 out of 5 from 352 ratings. It sits £36 above the cheapest television in the list, the £379 TCL 65PF650K, and this is the listing that leans hardest on brightness words while never putting a number on them.
That is the finding here. One bullet promises "a clearer, brighter and better picture"; the specification table gives no brightness figure at all — no nit value, no range, nothing to compare against the three sets in this guide that do state one. The HDR Format Supported field says HDR10 and names no other format. The star breakdown beside the 4.1 rating adds up to 100 ratings, against the 352 ratings the listing reports. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing itself — we have not measured, benchmarked or tested this television.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Brilliant tv and good value for money, I found it very easy to setup especially when it came to signing into my accounts, the picture and sound quality is excellent, I was amazed with the gaming side of the tv it's smooth and doesn't lagg and there's no buffing”
Verified purchase“Had this around 5 months and no problems at all. I really wanted a smaller tv that was not blinding me like my 65" in the other room so the size is perfect. It's almost like the response time is 0ms. The picture is so clear compared to my other tv so the 'crystal' feature definitely works. The sound great and I am very happy considering the small amount paid. Great value.”
