Best 85 Inch TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Refresh Rate That Isn't
By Felipe Iglesias · Updated
Three of the ten listings below print two different refresh rates inside the same spec table. The Samsung QN80F says 'Refresh Rate: 100 Hz' in one field and 'Display Refresh Rate in Hertz: 144' in another. The Samsung QN73F repeats the same 100/144 pair. The Sony XR-85X90L runs 120 against 100. The big number in the title and the bullets — 144Hz on the Samsungs, 120Hz on the Sony — belongs to the motion engine, not the panel. That is the most useful thing to know when shopping for the best 85 inch tv.
Two other listings carry units in the wrong field. The LG 86QNED80A6A lists annual energy consumption as '152.9 Watts', when annual consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours. The TCL 85C6K describes an 85-inch television as 18.9 cm wide and 11.6 cm high, where every other set in this group lists roughly 189 x 116 cm. We ranked ten of the best 85 inch tv models on Amazon by four things we could check: matching refresh figures, dimensions that fit a real wall, brightness in nits, and a review count deep enough to mean something.

Hisense 85U7QTUK 85-Inch MiniLED QLED 144Hz Smart TV
Our best 85 inch tv pick: 144Hz declared in both refresh fields, 379 ratings behind it, and £700 below the brightest set here.
Pros
- 144Hz in both refresh fields — no panel/motion split in the spec table
- £1,299, second-cheapest of the ten and £700 under the 3,000-nit TCL
- 379 ratings, the largest review base in this guide
- 1000-nit HDR1000 panel with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos
- 2.1 channels with a built-in subwoofer, so no soundbar needed
Cons
- D energy rating, the lowest band in this group
- 57.3 kg and 189.2 cm wide — needs a heavy-duty bracket
- The TCL 85C6K costs £200 less and also declares 144 in both fields
- No dimming-zone count published, unlike the TCL 85C7L's 1,624
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really impressed with this TV. The picture looks sharp and vibrant, while the high refresh rate makes gaming feel smooth. The sound is clear, and the anti-reflection screen is a useful touch.”
Verified purchase“A superb TV. Ultra clear screen and crisp audio. At £489.00 it was a bargain. Easy to set up and I can control all functions on the app, as an alternative to using remote.Highly recommended.”
This is the set with the deepest review base in the ten, and its two refresh fields agree. Refresh Rate reads 144Hz and Display Refresh Rate in Hertz reads 144, so nothing in the table contradicts anything else — which is not true of either Samsung Neo QLED here. At £1,299 it is the second-cheapest model in this group; only the TCL 85C6K at £1,099 undercuts it.
In practice the hardware covers the basics well: a 1000-nit HDR1000 panel with Dolby Vision, 2.1 channels with a built-in subwoofer, and the Hi-View AI engine for upscaling. It measures 189.2 cm wide by 115.5 cm high and weighs 57.3 kg, which means two people and a bracket rated well above that figure.
If you want the best 85 inch tv for a room you cannot darken, though, look elsewhere — the TCL 85C7L claims 3,000 nits, three times this figure. The D energy rating is also the lowest band in this group, and no dimming-zone count is published.
TCL 85C7L 85-Inch SQD-Mini LED 144Hz Google TV
The brightest set here at 3,000 nits with 1,624 dimming zones — and a 4.8 rating built on only 14 reviews.
Pros
- 3,000-nit peak brightness — three times any other set here
- 1,624 dimming zones, the only published zone count in the group
- 144 in both refresh fields
- Audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen; Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ and DTS:X
- 4.8 rating, the highest of the ten
Cons
- Only 14 ratings behind that 4.8
- 6% three-star and 7% four-star ratings
- £1,999, tied for the highest price here
- No energy efficiency rating given in the spec table

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“It took me a while to get the settings right for the best picture quality, but once I got there, it's an amazing picture. It really excels when you're watching something in 4k, the colours, the brightness of the images, the charity, the blacks are stunning. I previously had an lg oled that got burn in; this TV can't get burn in and in terms of differences in image quality, I think this TV is way ahead. Speed is snappy across apps, no need for firestick now, runs with Google operating system. When TV boots, it's straight into the navigation menu, very fast. I watched one review about the sound, saying it wasn't very good from in built speakers, but to me, to be honest, the Bang and Olufsen sound is the best I've ever heard coming out of a TV. The bass is punchy, I've got Sonos play bar and two play one surround speakers and I very rarely use them now for day to day watching, even without built in sub woofer being on they're still very good. All in all I'm very happy, it's very bright clear, blacks are black, you have to watch something in HDR, or similar at 4k to get the real experience but, picture had blown me away. Expensive TV but latest tech, hopefully it will last for years to come. I think TCL are ahead on this TV, don't be put off if you don't know who TCL are.”
Verified purchase“Very good TV.Going with Mini LED, I had expected a slight haloing effect in dark scenes. It is there, but you do have to really look for it. Not an issue in my opinion.”
Crucially, the 85C7L is the only model in the ten that publishes both a 3,000-nit peak brightness and a dimming-zone count of 1,624. Its two refresh fields agree at 144, and its 4.8 rating is the highest here. At £1,999 it is also one of three sets tied at the top of the price range.
For the best 85 inch tv in a bright room, that peak brightness is the whole argument — no other model here states more than 1,000 nits. If you are comparing an 85 inch mini led tv against a standard QLED, the 1,624 zones are the number that separates them, because more zones mean finer control around bright highlights. Audio is by Bang & Olufsen, and the set runs Google TV with Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+.
However, the 4.8 comes from 14 ratings, where the Hisense at number one has 379. Six percent of those 14 are three-star and 7% are four-star, so the sample is not unanimous. Either way, £1,999 is a lot to spend on a very short review history.
TCL 85C6K 85-Inch QD-Mini LED 144Hz Google TV
The cheapest set here at £1,099, with 144Hz in both fields and a product-dimensions field that reads 18.9 cm wide.
Pros
- £1,099 — the lowest price in this guide
- 144 in both refresh fields
- Matte HVA panel, which reduces reflections on a large screen
- Onkyo 2.1 Dolby Atmos sound system
- Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support
Cons
- Dimensions field reads 18.9 cm wide by 11.6 cm high — almost certainly wrong
- 7% one-star and 7% three-star ratings, on 25 ratings
- 1000 nits, a third of the TCL 85C7L's claimed peak
- No dimming-zone count published
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“After using for 24 hours only, I've been really impressed with the TCL 55C6K-UK QD-Mini LED. For the money, the picture quality is outstanding. The Mini LED panel produces deep blacks, bright highlights and vibrant colours that make films and TV shows look fantastic. It's genuinely hard to find another TV at this price that offers the same level of image quality.I was also pleasantly surprised by the built-in speakers. Let's be realistic – they're still speakers in a slim flat-screen TV – but they sound far better than I expected. Dialogue is clear, there's decent bass, and for everyday viewing I don't feel the need to rush out and buy a soundbar.Google TV is another big plus. It's fast, easy to use, and has all the streaming apps I need. I also love having Filmmaker Mode, which gives movies a much more natural, cinematic look without all the artificial processing.There are only a couple of minor negatives. I really wish TCL had included two USB ports instead of just one, as it's limiting if you use external storage or accessories.Also, something potential wall-mounters should be aware of: the speaker housings on the back protrude slightly. Depending on your wall bracket, you may need to use spacers so the bracket clears them. This isn't a major issue, but it does mean the TV may sit a little further away from the wall than you were expecting.Overall, these are minor complaints on what is otherwise an excellent TV. If you're looking for superb picture quality, surprisingly capable sound, and a great smart TV experience without spending a fortune, I can highly recommend the TCL 55C6K-UK.I will however update this review in 3 months, I see the other 2 reviews are from a free product giveaway but I actually agree with most of the statements, don't be put off by the brand name TCL, I've been a Samsung snob for years and now with this current purchase I'll definitely keep an open mind in future.”
Verified purchase“Wow which we'd bought sooner ... the picture quality is outstanding!!The tiniest detail is mind blowing and watching films is something else now”
At £1,099 the 85C6K is the cheapest model in this guide and, crucially, still declares 144 in both refresh fields. On paper that makes it the value pick for anyone hunting 85 inch tv deals, with a 1000-nit panel, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support.
The listing is where things get odd. Its product dimensions read 37.2 cm deep, 18.9 cm wide and 11.6 cm high. Every other 85-inch set here lists roughly 189 cm wide and 112 to 117 cm high, so those width and height figures look like a unit error rather than a smaller television. The Onkyo 2.1 sound system and the matte HVA panel, which cuts reflections across a screen this size, are the practical draws.
That said, 7% of its 25 ratings are one-star and another 7% are three-star. It also halves the peak brightness of the 85C7L and drops the zone count entirely. Buy it for the price and the matte finish, not for HDR punch.
Sony BRAVIA 3 85-Inch 4K HDR Google TV (2025)
Both refresh fields read 120 — no split — and 106 ratings back the 4.3 score, the third-largest base in the ten.
Pros
- 120Hz in both refresh fields, so no panel/motion gap
- 106 ratings, the third-largest base here
- Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in one set
- Google TV with PS Remote Play and Game Menu built in
- Listed at 7.3 cm deep, one of the slimmest profiles here
Cons
- Direct LED only — no Mini LED backlight or dimming zones
- E energy rating, a band below the cheapest Hisense
- 58 kg, second-heaviest in this guide
- £1,599 for a set with no Mini LED
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Love this TV. Cracking sound, picture and looks really good. Took ages for eyes to adjust to its size after years of a 43 inch Toshiba but now that have doesn't look so big! Delivery guys were brill too. TV feet can be used at edges or middle we chose middle. No screws required for that as they just slip into holes base of TV. Over all well chuffed hope it lasts a long time. Thank you Amazon for the easy payments for 12months no interest too!”
Verified purchase“TV's by Sony are always excellent value.Great picture and sound. Last for years too!Would highly recommend.”
Both of its refresh fields read 120, so the BRAVIA 3 avoids the mismatch that catches the two Samsung Neo QLEDs and the X90L further down. It also carries 106 ratings, the third-largest base in this group behind the Hisense 85U7QTUK's 379 and the LG's 116.
It runs Google TV with 400,000+ films and TV episodes listed, plus Google Cast and Apple AirPlay 2. If you want the best 85 inch smart tv for console gaming, PS Remote Play and the Game Menu are built in, and the X-Balanced Speaker is shaped to reduce distortion so dialogue stays clear.
Worth noting this is the BRAVIA 3, not the XR-branded X90L. There is no Mini LED backlight here and no published dimming zones, and the E energy rating sits one band below the Hisense 85U7QTUK's D. At 58 kg it is also the second-heaviest set in the ten.
Samsung QN80F 85-Inch Neo QLED Mini LED 4K TV
The clearest example of the split: 'Refresh Rate: 100 Hz' in one field, 'Display Refresh Rate in Hertz: 144' in the next.
Pros
- 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, stated outright
- Four HDMI ports and an 800 x 400 mm VESA mount
- 40.6 kg, among the lighter 85-inch sets here
- 4.8 cm profile is one of the slimmest in the group
- Dolby Atmos with Object Tracking Sound Lite
Cons
- 100 Hz panel field against a 144 motion field
- 42 ratings, a small base at £1,699
- 3% of ratings are one-star
- No dimming-zone count published for the Mini LED backlight

Verified purchase“This is a review of the 55 inch version.This television is very good value in my opinion due to its great sound quality which is unusual with modern flat screen tvs where it is usually necessary to purchase a soundbar . With this model, the sound is more than adequate.Picture quality is stunning even in sdbut produces really Impressive 4k images which would give an OLED tv a run for their money.The Mini LED system Samsung uses called Neo QLED produces good contrast and a vibrant picture which I am more than pleased with. Blacks do look black not dark grey.It has 144hz gaming capabilities if you have a PS5 or Xbox.The smart remote works well after getting used to it and set up was pretty standard. Just be careful about not agreeing to all the on screen rubbish on set up to minimise the adverts.At £639, this can easily compete with £1000 OLED TVs out there and I would not hesitate to recommend.It is also a Which? Best Buy tv which means it's been rigorously assessed and you don't need to take my word for it.”
Verified purchase“I have been looking to buy a 50inch TV for some time and always buy Samsung I got this one in the Black Friday sale and it's perfect for what I was wanting would certainly recommend”
The QN80F's spec table contradicts itself in two adjacent fields. Refresh Rate reads 100 Hz; Display Refresh Rate in Hertz reads 144. The 144 is the figure the bullets repeat as Motion Xcelerator 144Hz, so the number doing the marketing belongs to the motion engine, not the panel.
Meanwhile the rest of the sheet is unusually specific: a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, four HDMI ports, an 800 x 400 mm VESA mount and 40.6 kg. At 4.8 cm deep it is one of the slimmer profiles here. For anyone comparing the best 85 inch tv models on this page, those two refresh fields are the ones to read first.
That said, 42 ratings is a modest base for a £1,699 set, and 3% of them are one-star. If a genuine 144Hz panel matters to you, do not assume it from the title — the Hisense 85U7QTUK and both TCLs declare 144 in both fields, and this one does not.
Sony BRAVIA XR XR-85X90L 85-Inch Full Array LED TV
Refresh Rate 120, Display Refresh Rate in Hertz 100 — and it is the heaviest set here but for the LG.
Pros
- Full Array LED with the Cognitive Processor XR
- IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
- Five-year guarantee, claimable via the dealer's website
- 700,000+ films and TV episodes on Google TV
- Three-way stand, including a raised position for a soundbar
Cons
- 120 in one refresh field, 100 in the other
- 60 kg — the heaviest here bar the LG
- 20 W speaker output, matched by cheaper sets
- E energy rating, a band below the cheapest Hisense
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Excellent TV, but make sure you have a TV desk that's wide and deep enough to support it. It is heavy.”
Verified purchase“Great performing large screen TV, excellent value for money. Recommend”
The X90L's table gives Refresh Rate as 120 and Display Refresh Rate in Hertz as 100, a 20Hz gap inside one listing. The 120 is what the name and the marketing lead with. Full Array LED with the Cognitive Processor XR is the picture story, and 24 ratings sit behind the 4.4 score.
For anyone shopping for the best big screen tv for movies, the Acoustic Multi Audio system and IMAX Enhanced certification are the draws, alongside a five-year guarantee that the listing says must be claimed by the customer through the dealer's website. The stand offers three positions, including a raised setting for a soundbar.
Even so, several numbers argue against it. At 60 kg it is the heaviest model here bar the LG's 63.6 kg. Speaker output is listed at 20 W, the same figure stated for the Samsung QN70H, and the E energy rating sits a band below the Hisense 85U7QTUK's D.
Samsung QN73F 85-Inch Neo QLED Mini LED 4K TV
The same 100/144 refresh split as the QN80F, £200 cheaper — but 10% of its ratings are one-star.
Pros
- 2.7 cm depth, the slimmest profile in this guide
- £1,499 — £200 under the QN80F for the same stated figures
- Four HDMI ports and one USB 3.0 port
- Tizen OS with an AirSlim centre stand
- 40.7 kg, among the lighter 85-inch sets here
Cons
- 100 Hz panel field against a 144 motion field
- 15 ratings only; 10% of them one-star
- No two- or three-star ratings, so the spread is polarised
- HDR10 and HDR10+ only — no Dolby Vision
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Upgraded my older Samsung TV for this one.The improvement is staggering!Better sound quality, frame rate & picture quality. Very impressive!”
Verified purchase“Amazing picture quality and works super fast. Great sound. Has absolutely everything.”
The QN73F repeats the QN80F's split exactly: 100 Hz in the Refresh Rate field, 144 in Display Refresh Rate in Hertz, and Motion Xcelerator 144Hz in the bullets. It is £1,499, which is £200 below the QN80F for the same stated numbers.
If you are searching for a 144hz 85 inch tv, this listing will match — but the panel field says 100 Hz, so check which figure you actually need. In practice, the 2.7 cm depth and the AirSlim centre stand are its real differentiators, along with Tizen, four HDMI ports and one USB 3.0 port.
The catch for anyone shortlisting the best 85 inch tv on a mid-range budget is the rating spread. Ten percent of its 15 ratings are one-star, and there are no two- or three-star ratings at all — a split, not a gradual curve. Wait for a wider base before treating the 4.5 as settled.
Hisense 85Q8STUK 85-Inch MiniLED 144Hz Smart TV
A 5.0 rating from five reviews, 144/144 refresh agreement, and the thinnest evidence base in the ten.
Pros
- 144 in both refresh fields
- 5.0 rating, every rating five-star
- Built-in subwoofer, so no external soundbar needed
- Hi-QLED MiniLED backlight with Hi-View AI Engine
- Four HDMI ports and hands-free voice control
Cons
- Only five ratings behind the 5.0
- No HDR format, energy rating or motion technology listed
- £1,999, tied for the highest price here
- Software update support field reads 'unknown'
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
“OK. I need to make it absolutely clear that I didn't pay for this TV. I am fortunate to be part of the Amazon Vine community, and I was completely blown away to be offered this set in exchange for an honest review. I wouldn't have considered spending this sort of money on a TV right now, so I think that I owe it to you, the consumer, and to the manufacturer to give proper, genuine feedback in exchange for the item that I received. It's a very good review, but it accounts for current pricing as well as quality.Packaging / Delivery: The TV arrived via Prime, 'next day' delivery, in familiar packaging for a flat screen TV, with pre-formed, robust polystyrene to keep it safe. In the box, was the TV itself, remote control, components for the stand, instructions and miscellaneous small items. I would rather that more readily recycled cardboard be used instead of polystyrene, but it's better than a broken TV, I guess.First Impressions: The TV is replacing a much more 'entry level' set, so I expected to see a big difference. I have owned a lower budget Hisense screen before, and the quality upgrade was noticeable. For a start, I have found that budget Hisense TVs tend to be incredibly light, and they don't feel particularly robust (as I discovered when a neighbour's child put a golf ball through the screen). This latest product was a bit heavier than expected. Whilst it's still quite manageable to move around and unpack, the TV feels solid, as though it's made from good quality components, screen, speakers etc – I imagine that the subwoofer etc make a difference. The finish and trim are basic, but nice enough, and the stand is effective and easy to assemble, making the whole thing feel very stable. In summary, it looks and feels good, if not premium – a bit more of an upgrade to the standard Hisense remote would have been nice too.Picture Quality: Amazing! The first thing that I did was put on Blue Planet and hopefully the photos do it some justice. The picture is pin-sharp, with amazingly vivid colours that really do leap out. The view really is terrific compared with my older set. The one feature that it's missing is the non-reflective, anti-glare screen; Hisense do this really well and it would have been a welcome addition to the set sitting near a window, but I guess that it comes at a price.Sound Quality: I already owned a reasonably old but premium brand soundbar and I have to say that the sound from the TV is better – deeper and richer in almost every sense across the full spectrum. I've used the soundbar elsewhere because the TV audio is better in all respects.Connectivity / Apps: WIFI setup was easy. All of the usual streaming apps and 'Freely' live TV over internet are all pre-loaded. There were a few error codes on first start-up, but all has worked well since a firmware upgrade soon after installation.SUMMARY: At time of ordering, this Hisense 50" 50Q8STUK MiniLED TV was priced at £999.00. It's temporarily out of stock, but I'm fairly sure that it was going for £599.00 when I last checked so it's worth reviewing the current price before you hit 'buy now' in case there are any fluctuations.£599 is still a lot of money for most people to spend on a TV, so you want to get the right one. I was really debating whether to go for four or five stars. If it had still been retailing at £999 then it would have definitely been four, since the TV and remote don't look and feel particularly special, and it doesn't have the anti-reflective screen. However; I guess that the main point of a TV is the picture and sound quality and, in this case, both are absolutely amazing; both being crisp, sharp and vivid.At the lower price, I would say that this product firmly deserves a five-star recommendation.”
“This is a 50 inch MiniLED 4K TV. To be honest, I'm a bit of a technophobe so never really understand what all the options mean and was a bit dubious whether I'd be able to appreciate all the features of this TV.Setting it up was super easy - it's slimline and quite lightweight and it screws on to the centre base with a few screws - then plug it in and it's done. No aerials needed or any other connections. It guides you through the set up on either the TV or I downloaded the Vidaa app and did it that way so I can control it through my phone if I want.There are so many options on it, it's unreal. I haven't tried them all because I don't know what some of them are but so far I've tried Voice Control, subtitles, all the apps, display settings etc and everything works fairly easily - there were a few greyed out buttons that only switch on if you have another option switched off so trying to figure out some of the combinations was a bit tricky - you would get used to it or set it once and forget about it.For the actual TV - it's superb. The clarity and colour on the screen is amazing - it makes me realise how old my other TV was and how dull it seemed it comparison - it's like they've turned up the brightness, made it sharper and enhanced the colours - the picture I took does it no justice at all, it's much better in real life.We watched a movie on it and the experience was completely different - not only picture wise but sound wise too - the built in subwoofer makes a big difference to the sound effects.This feels like a huge upgrade to our 4 year old TV, the kids are thrilled with it.”
Both refresh fields read 144, matching the 85U7QTUK and both TCLs. Every one of its ratings is five-star, giving it a perfect 5.0. That score also rests on five reviews, which is the smallest sample here.
If you are after the best large screen tv for a room with no soundbar, the built-in subwoofer and Hi-QLED MiniLED backlight are the practical points. It runs the VIDAA system with Freely, Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube, offers four HDMI ports and hands-free voice control, and measures 189.1 cm wide by 115 cm high.
However, its spec sheet leaves out fields the others fill: no HDR format list, no energy rating, no motion enhancement technology, and a software update field that reads 'unknown'. At £1,999 it is tied for the highest price in the ten, on five reviews. Most buyers should not pay that on a sample this small.
Samsung QN70H 85-Inch Neo QLED 4K Mini LED TV
60 Hz in both refresh fields, at £1,999 — the same price as a TCL that declares 144 in both.
Pros
- 60 in both refresh fields — no contradiction in the table
- AirSlim body at roughly 26 mm deep
- 190.09 x 114.19 cm footprint, 41.4 kg
- Object Tracking Sound Lite and NQ4 AI 4K upscaling
- Vision AI companion with voice control and Alexa built in
Cons
- 60Hz at £1,999, the same price as a 144Hz TCL
- 13 ratings only, 10% of them one-star
- 20W, 2ch audio
- HDR10+ only — no Dolby Vision
What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Great TV, excellent picture quality, BBC iPlayer app missing from Samsung App Store for this new model, hope that gets added soon. AI mode kept showing "listening" intermittently, which was annoying, but once registered with Alexa, this stopped (not sure if that "AI listening" was related to Samsung's Bixby assistant?). The two Samsung remote controls are good, standard and as expected. Easy to wall mount with standard VESA system. Very pleased overall.”
Verified purchase“Very happy with the purchase. The default sound isn't the best but then again, it never is on most TVs - so would highly recommend a matching sound bar.”
Refresh Rate 60 and Display Refresh Rate in Hertz 60. Unlike the QN80F and QN73F, nothing here contradicts itself, and the number it agrees on is 60 Hz. At £1,999 it is tied with the TCL 85C7L, which declares 144 in both fields.
Which means, for the best 85 inch tv at this price, you are buying a 60Hz panel with Quantum Mini LED, an NQ4 AI processor and 4K upscaling. The AirSlim body is roughly 26 mm deep and the listing gives dimensions of 190.09 x 114.19 x 36.56 cm.
At the same time, the audio is 20W, 2ch, with Object Tracking Sound Lite as the surround format, and 10% of its 13 ratings are one-star. If you watch live sport or play at high frame rates, that 60Hz figure is what decides it against the QN80F.
LG 86QNED80A6A 86-Inch 4K UHD Smart TV
The only 86-inch set in an 85-inch round-up, with the lowest rating here at 4.0 and an energy figure in the wrong unit.

- webOS with Freeview Play and Amazon Alexa
- 86-inch screen — the largest diagonal here
- Filmmaker Mode and local dimming listed
Cons
- 60Hz in both refresh fields
- 4.0 rating, the lowest of the ten
- Annual energy consumption listed as '152.9 Watts' — wrong unit

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Worked straight out of the box great picture sound tinny but clear, needs a soundbar. So far great set recommended if you don't mind no bass tones.”
Verified purchase“Absolutely fantastic picture and sound quality fairly easy to set up would highly recommend this TV it is my third one in 20 years thanks.”
Its annual energy consumption field reads '152.9 Watts'. Annual consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours, so the unit is wrong for the field — and 152.9 would be a large annual figure for a set rated E either way. By contrast, its two refresh fields agree at 60 Hz.
If you are weighing this against a typical 85 inch 4k tv, the extra diagonal inch is not the difference. The differences are webOS with Freeview Play and Alexa, a virtual 9.1.2 surround up-mix and local dimming. It also lists Mini-LED as the backlight technology, which is unusual for a QNED set at this price.
That said, 4.0 is the lowest rating in the ten, from 116 ratings — the second-largest base here after the Hisense 85U7QTUK's 379. Twelve percent of those ratings are one-star. At 63.6 kg it is the heaviest set in this group, and at £1,781.01 it costs more than the £1,299 Hisense that scores 4.4.
Final Verdict
In short, three picks cover most cases. For most homes, the best 85 inch tv here is the Hisense 85U7QTUK at £1,299: 144Hz declared in both fields, 379 ratings, a 1000-nit Mini LED panel and a subwoofer built in. If you need brightness above all, the TCL 85C7L's 3,000 nits and 1,624 dimming zones justify the £1,999 in a room you cannot darken. And if you want the best 85 inch tv for the smallest outlay, the TCL 85C6K at £1,099 keeps the 144Hz panel and adds a matte screen — just read its dimensions field with suspicion.

All Tech guidesBest DAB Radios 2026: 9 Ranked, and the 30W Claim That Doesn't Add Up
A radio that claims 30 W of output and a battery that lasts over 10 hours is claiming something the arithmetic will not support. The AZATOM Spitalfields 2 lists 30 W maximum speaker output; the same listing says its 2,000 mAh battery runs for over 10 hours. A 2,000 mAh cell at the 3.7 V that appears in these spec sheets holds about 7.4 Wh, so ten hours averages 0.74 W. At a genuine 30 W, that pack would be empty in about 15 minutes. That is the problem with shopping for the best DAB radios on wattage alone: the Mycket, at £29.99, declares 5 W against a 2,200 mAh battery and 12 hours — around 0.68 W average, the same order of magnitude as the AZATOM. The '30 W' and the '5 W' are not the same measurement, which is why a £29.99 radio looks six times more powerful than a £44.95 one. We ranked nine of the best DAB radios on Amazon on preset count, power source, battery type, display and how well each listing's own numbers agree with each other. Every one of the dab radios reviewed here was checked against its spec table, not against its marketing headline. Price runs from £21.59 to £99.00, and the most expensive model is not the one with the biggest wattage claim.
TechBest CPU Air Cooler 2026: 10 Ranked, One Sold Twice at Two Prices
The same cooler appears twice in this best cpu air cooler shortlist, at two different prices. The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is listed at £29.99 with 3,133 ratings and again at £35.90 with 307 ratings — £5.91 more for a name that is identical. The two listings cannot both be right about the hardware: one records 12 Volts and 265 watts, the other 5 Volts and 3 watts. Those watts are not power draw. The cooler's own fan is a 4-pin, 12-volt part moving 66.17 CFM, and the 265 W sitting in the Wattage field is the thermal capacity quoted in the bullet text, not the current the product consumes. The pattern repeats. be quiet! sells two Pure Rock Pro 3 coolers at the same £41.98, yet one lists 3.6 watts and the other 250 watts. Cooler Master's MasterLiquid describes a 394 mm radiator in its copy while its own dimensions field says 15.7 cm long. We ranked ten of the best cpu air cooler options on Amazon on three criteria: the published price and rating counts, the socket support each listing actually states, and whether a product's own specifications agree with each other.
TechBest Case Fans 2026: 9 Ranked by What a Fan Actually Costs
Almost nothing in this list of the best case fans is sold as a single fan, so the price on the page is not the price of a fan. The £21.49 ARCTIC five-pack works out at £4.30 a fan. The £18.66 ARCTIC pack works out at £3.73. Meanwhile the £18.99 be quiet! Light Wings buys you one fan. The same be quiet! Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed fan is listed twice — £18.99 on its own and £44.99 as a three-pack with an ARGB hub. That is £15.00 a fan, and £11.98 less than three singles. The noise numbers cannot be lined up either: ARCTIC quotes 0.3 sones on both its five-packs, Noctua quotes 25.1 dB(A), be quiet! 31 dB and Corsair 36 dB. As a result the spec tables are not all in the same unit, and Noctua is the only brand here quoting airflow in cubic metres rather than CFM. We ranked nine of the best case fans on Amazon on three measures a buyer can check: the price divided by the number of fans in the box, the specification each manufacturer actually publishes, and the review count behind the star rating. There is no test bench here. Where a listing contradicts itself — and several do — we say so, with both numbers.
