85-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The BRAVIA 6 can provide a lot of viewing pleasure, especially in the evening when the strengths of the OLED panel are most apparent. Deep blacks, good contrast and natural colours after calibration mean that, with the right material, its picture is easy to appreciate. It also performs well with a console: it delivers smooth motion and responds quickly to controller inputs. It's pleasing to see fo...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

Is it worth buying the TCL A400U? Yes, because it’s one of those TVs where paying extra for a higher series doesn’t always make sense. In films you get what you normally expect from a good TV: very good blacks, a strong HDR effect and a natural picture, especially after calibration. Brightness won’t be lacking during the day either, although because of the glossy panel it’s better not to position ...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL P7L is a successful budget television that shows you can get more than just a screen for basic viewing for a modest sum. It does not match pricier Mini LED or OLED models, but in its class it has a lot to offer. The VA panel delivers decent blacks and contrast, so during an evening session the picture does not look as flat as on many cheap IPS models. After calibration the colours are also goo...

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-quality ratio. You get a Mini LED TV with local dimming, which really improves black levels and gives the picture depth for evening viewing. During the day, the generous brightness headroom is useful, so you don't have to immediately cover the windows. It's not a device without compromises, but as an...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Frame Pro 2026 makes sense primarily when the TV is meant to look good in the living room and not be another large black slab on the wall. And here Samsung still does something that most manufacturers cannot reproduce as well. Flush mounting, interchangeable bezels, Art Mode, a matte finish and the wireless One Connect make it so that, when properly hung, The Frame Pro can actually look more l...

Verdict:

The M80H shows its strengths where motion matters most. A fast panel, refresh rate up to 144 Hz and relatively low motion blur mean sport and fast-paced games look really good on it. In this respect the TV can even outclass some much 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 smoothness of games ...

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 3 II is a TV that quickly reveals the idea the manufacturer had for this model. It's meant above all to be a sensible Bravia for gaming, and in that respect the changes are substantial. After all, Sony has fixed one of the biggest annoyances of its TVs, the presence of only two full-featured HDMI 2.1 ports. Here there are four, and that alone makes the Bravia 3 II a much more conve...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung R85H is, above all, a very versatile television that performs well in almost any use. You can place it in a bright living room, connect a console, watch a film or series in the evening, and use it for everyday broadcast TV, and each time you’ll get a picture of a good standard. It may not be a model that makes as strong an impression from the first minutes as Samsung’s best OLEDs, but ...

Available screen sizes: 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung R95H is a TV that, above all, shows that the classic LCD panel 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 strongly saturated, uniform colours appear on screen, particularly reds and greens, the R95H can show them with an intensity that is hard to find in typical Mini-LED TVs. Add very deep b...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S85H is a very successful continuation of the S85 series and a television that still fulfils its primary role well – to be an affordable entry into the world of OLEDs. The biggest change compared with the predecessor is the use of the new OLED SE panel from LG Display, but the overall character of the model has remained practically unchanged. Its greatest strengths remain perfect blacks, v...
