This JVC-branded 65-inch 4k model is currently available for £499 at Currys, representing a £100 saving on its list price.

This premium performer is also a good choice for gamers, as it features a Game Optimizer allowing you to tune the set for the best possible gaming experience. The A1 also comes with LG's highly-rated webOS smart platform, boasting all manner of top streaming services, plus Freeview Play for catch-up.
TCL 50-inch Smart 4K Ultra HD TV
This 4K HDR TV from TCL can be picked up for just £299, that’s an awful lot of screen for the cash.
Admittedly the smart platform isn’t particularly well appointed, just Netflix and YouTube (although it does have a Freeview Play tuner with Catch-up TV) so I would suggest you add a Fire TV streaming stick, and there are only two HDMI inputs, but if you can work around that...

Samsung 43-inch Smart QLED TV
This high-end 43-inch Samsung Q65 QLED smart screen is a considerable temptation, at £579. It features a dual LED backlighting system for superior contrast, and has colour-rich wide colour. It also has an advanced sound system. Q-Symphony works in conjunction with select Samsung soundbars for enhanced audio — the TV speakers parp in tandem with the soundbar.

Philips 50-inch Smart TV 4K
This good-looking Philips 7-series flatscreen has fallen to £499 on Currys for Black Friday, and really stands apart from the rest thanks to Ambilight, Philips unique lighting system. Here in 3-sided guise, LED lights are arranged around the back panel, so that they illuminate the wall behind.

It also uses the Android smart platform, which has a comprehensive selection of apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube.
