85-inch OLED 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...

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...

7.9/10

Available screen sizes: 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED, WRGB TANDEM OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The C6H is an even more interesting TV because the use of a Tandem OLED panel means the C series is moving into territory previously reserved for far more expensive models. You still get all the benefits of the regular C6, but the panel’s capabilities are on a completely different level. HDR illustrates this best. In many scenes we measured around 2000 nits, and at times even 2300 nits — results p...

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...

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

Technology: QD-OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S99H is probably the best OLED TV we’ve tested so far, and certainly the best Samsung OLED in years. In terms of picture quality it’s really hard to find a weak spot. Blacks are perfect, as you’d expect from an OLED panel, and the HDR performance impresses with brightness and colour saturation. The use of a QD-OLED panel produces an image that in many scenes looks almost reference-leve...

Technology: WRGB OLED, WRGB TANDEM OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

Without a doubt, the LG G6 is an outstanding television in many aspects. Thanks to the new generation 2 Tandem OLED panel, it does something that no other glossy screen on the market has managed so far – it superbly suppresses light reflections while maintaining perfect, unblemished image quality. When we add record brightness and the unique properties of the panel itself, the G6 can produce image...

Available screen sizes: 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S85F in the tested version with a WOLED panel is a television that must be evaluated primarily through the lens of its price. As befits organic technology, it offers perfect, almost ideal black levels and infinite contrast in cinematic conditions. This feature alone will make a huge impression on most buyers, especially when transitioning from any LCD television. However, it cannot be deni...

Available screen sizes: 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

In the case of the 83-inch version, Samsung took a different route than with smaller diagonals and opted for LG Display's Tandem WOLED panel. This move initially raised questions but has proven to be right on the money in practice. We have here an exceptionally successful mix: absolutely reference black, excellent brightness allowing enjoyment of HDR content even during the day, and overall pictur...

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...
