50-inch OLED TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: QD-OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S95H is, in almost every respect, a continuation of the S95F. During testing we often felt like we were watching the same TV. But... is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, because the predecessor set the bar very high. We still get a phenomenal picture and one of the best TVs we've tested in 2026. HDR packs a huge punch, and the colour and black levels make a good film really keep you g...

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...

Verdict:

Philips OLED811 is a mid-range OLED for 2026 that stands out from its biggest rivals mainly for one thing: Ambilight. The light that follows the picture and spreads across the wall can change the mood of the whole viewing experience. In the evening the screen seems to extend beyond its frame and watching gains an extra bit of charm. For some it will be a pleasant extra, for others a decisive reaso...

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...

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG C6 is a very successful evolution of one of the market’s most popular OLEDs. The TV itself hasn’t changed drastically compared with last year’s C5; the look is very similar, webOS offers comparable features, and gamers again get pretty much everything you’d expect from a modern TV. You can’t really complain, since the C5 was already a very complete device in that respect. The most important...

Verdict:

LG OLED B6 is a very successful continuation of the B series and a TV that makes a lot of sense as a first step into OLED. It doesn’t try to compete with the most expensive models in every respect, but on the key points it still delivers exactly what many people choose this technology for: perfect black, very high contrast and a picture that can simply look spectacular in movies. Much of that is d...

Verdict:

Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a brilliant impression. The combination of OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity produces a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what you expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections on a sunny day become less of an issue, and thanks to the standard polariser...

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips OLED770 is a television that stands out primarily for its picture quality – the characteristic perfect black and infinite contrast typical of OLEDs make even a regular evening of binge-watching a series feel like a small cinematic experience. After calibration, the colours gain naturalness and consistency, while details in dark scenes are separated from the lights with surgical precision. ...

Verdict:

The Philips OLED820 is a very successful and significant step forward compared to last year's model, the OLED 819. For many people, the main reason for purchasing will, of course, be Ambilight: a multicoloured backlighting system that distinguishes Philips televisions from the competition. It's no surprise, as it made a huge impression on us as well. It’s not just an impressive gadget, but a real ...

Verdict:

LG B5 is a really good OLED TV that shows you don’t need to spend a fortune for very good quality. It offers deep blacks typical of organic panels, very good colour reproduction – especially after calibration – and pleasant HDR movie watching experiences. All of this makes for evening screenings that can deliver cinematic emotions even without reaching for much more expensive screens. The fluidity...
