At 85 inches and beyond, a television stops being simply a screen and becomes the defining feature of a room. These enormous sets are designed for dedicated home cinema spaces, expansive open-plan living areas, or anyone who wants to recreate the scale of a genuine cinema screen in their own home. The sense of immersion at this size is unmatched by any smaller television.

Screens this large require a comfortable viewing distance of around 3.5 to 4.5 metres or more, so it's important to measure your room carefully before buying - both for seating distance and to confirm the TV, and its packaging, will fit through doorways and up staircases during delivery. Due to their size and premium positioning, TVs in this range are typically built with flagship-level panel technology, offering outstanding picture quality to match their scale.

For those weighing up an equivalent-sized projector setup instead, it's worth noting that a large-format TV in this range often provides better brightness and picture consistency for daytime viewing, while still delivering a genuinely cinematic scale of image.
