85-inch TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 48”, 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

BRAVIA 6 can deliver a lot of viewing pleasure, especially in the evening when the advantages of the OLED panel are most visible. Deep blacks, good contrast and natural colours after calibration make it easy to appreciate its picture with the right material. It also performs well with consoles: it’s smooth and responds quickly to controller input. It’s nice to see four full HDMI 2.1 ports, a decis...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

Is the TCL A400U worth buying? Yes, because it's one of those TVs where paying extra for a higher-tier model doesn't always make sense. In movies you get what you'd expect from a good TV: very good blacks, punchy HDR and a natural-looking picture, especially after calibration. There's enough brightness for daytime viewing, although because of the glossy panel it's best not to place it opposite a l...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL P7L is a solid budget TV that shows you can get more than just a basic screen for a relatively low price. It doesn't match pricier Mini-LEDs or OLEDs, but in its class it has plenty to offer. Its VA panel delivers decent blacks and contrast, so evening viewing doesn't look as flat as on many cheap IPS models. Colours also look good after calibration. For watching movies and TV shows it's a...

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U7S is the latest iteration of the U7 series, whose biggest advantage remains its price-to-performance ratio. You get a Mini LED TV with local dimming, which genuinely improves black levels and gives the picture more depth for evening viewing. During the day a generous brightness reserve helps, so you don't have to rush to close the curtains. It's not a device without compromises, but as a...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Frame Pro 2026 makes the most sense when you want a TV that looks good in the living room and isn’t just another large black slab on the wall. And here Samsung still does something most manufacturers can’t match. Flush mounting, interchangeable bezels, Art Mode, a matte finish and the wireless One Connect mean that when The Frame Pro is hung correctly it can really look more like a piece of de...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The M80H shows its strengths best where motion matters most. A fast panel, a refresh rate up to 144 Hz and relatively low motion blur make sports and fast-paced games look really good. In this respect the TV can even outperform some significantly more expensive Samsung LCD models. Gamers also get low input lag, three full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and Game Motion Plus, which can improve the smoothn...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 3 II is a TV where you can quickly see what the manufacturer had in mind for this model. It’s meant above all to be a sensible Bravia for gaming, and in that respect the changes are quite significant. Sony has finally fixed one of the biggest headaches of its TVs, namely having only two full HDMI 2.1 ports. This one has four, and that alone makes the Bravia 3 II a much more conveni...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung R85H is above all a very versatile TV that performs well in pretty much any use case. You can put it in a bright lounge, hook up a console, watch a movie or series in the evening, or use it for everyday broadcast TV, and each time you’ll get a solid picture. It may not make the same immediate impression as Samsung’s best OLEDs, but it’s hard to point to a single feature that would seri...

Available screen sizes: 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung R95H is a TV that primarily shows that the classic LCD screen still has a lot to offer. Micro RGB is not just a marketing name here, because in the right scenes it can actually make a difference. When the screen shows strongly saturated, uniform colours, especially reds and greens, the R95H can render them with an intensity that’s hard to find in typical Mini-LED TVs. Add very deep bla...

Available screen sizes: 48”, 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S85H is a very successful continuation of the S85 series and a TV that still performs its main role well: to be an affordable entry into the world of OLEDs. The biggest change from its predecessor is the use of LG Display's new OLED SE panel, but the overall character of this model remains practically unchanged. Its greatest strengths are still perfect blacks, very high contrast and a pict...
