Skyworth 65C1 65"

Manufacturer: Skyworth

The Skyworth 65C1 is a 65″ class QLED television built around a 4K UHD LCD panel with LED backlighting. Running a built-in smart TV platform, it supports voice commands through both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and includes features like USB recording, a sleep timer, and child lock for everyday convenience. Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG are all supported, giving the display a broad range of HDR format compatibility.

The panel resolves at 3840 x 2160 pixels across a 64.5″ screen, yielding a pixel density of 68 ppi, and is rated at 300 nits of typical brightness with a quoted response time of 8 ms. On the connectivity side, the set offers three HDMI 2.1 ports, one USB port, an RJ45 ethernet jack, and wireless support via Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1, along with Miracast screen mirroring. Audio output is handled by a stereo speaker system rated at 2 x 10W with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Audio decoding, while an HDMI ARC port allows connection to external sound equipment. The television carries a one-year warranty and has a rated operating power consumption of 170W.

Pros
  • Supports all four major HDR formats — HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG — covering a wide range of HDR content sources
  • Three HDMI 2.1 ports provide multiple high-bandwidth connection options for modern devices
  • Wide 176° horizontal and vertical viewing angles allow consistent picture quality from most seating positions in a room
  • Built-in compatibility with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa gives users flexibility in voice control
  • Anti-reflection coating and an ambient light sensor help the display adapt to different lighting conditions
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.5W keeps idle energy draw very low
Cons
  • 60Hz native refresh rate and 8 ms response time are modest figures for fast-moving or action-heavy content
  • Typical brightness of 300 nits is relatively limited for HDR content that benefits from higher peak luminance
  • Only one USB port restricts the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously
  • No 3.5 mm headphone jack means direct headphone connection to the TV is not possible
  • No external memory slot limits local storage expansion options
  • The remote control is not rechargeable, requiring disposable battery replacements
Who is this for?

The Skyworth 65C1 is a good fit for households looking for a large-screen smart TV with broad HDR format coverage, particularly those who consume a mix of streaming and physical media content that spans HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Its built-in Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility make it well suited to users who have already integrated voice-controlled smart home ecosystems into their living spaces. The wide 176° viewing angles and 64.5″ screen size also make it a practical choice for larger living rooms or open-plan spaces where viewers may be seated at varied positions relative to the screen.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize smooth motion handling in fast-paced content will find the 60Hz refresh rate and 8 ms response time limiting, making this television a poor match for dedicated gamers or sports viewers who expect fluid, low-latency visuals. The 300-nit typical brightness is also insufficient for rooms with significant ambient light or for viewers who want to get the most out of HDR content, which generally benefits from much higher peak luminance. Additionally, those within the Apple ecosystem will find the lack of AirPlay and Siri/HomeKit support a notable gap, as seamless integration with Apple devices and home automation is simply not available on this set.

Final Verdict

The Skyworth 65C1 is a capable 65″ class smart television that covers the essentials well for general home viewing — its comprehensive HDR format support across Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG stands out as a genuine strength at this screen size, and the combination of Google Assistant, Alexa, and wide viewing angles makes it a practical fit for connected living room setups. That said, its 60Hz panel, modest brightness rating, and limited USB connectivity signal that it is positioned for everyday use rather than demanding scenarios like gaming or bright-room viewing. For households seeking a large-screen smart TV with solid HDR versatility and voice assistant integration — without requiring high-refresh-rate performance or Apple ecosystem compatibility — the Skyworth 65C1 delivers a reasonable and well-rounded feature set.
