85-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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 starting to move into territory previously reserved for much more expensive models. You still get all the advantages of the regular C6, but the panel’s capabilities are on a completely different level. HDR shows this best. In many scenes we measured around 2,000 nits, and at times even 2,300 nits, ...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense UR8S is above all a very versatile high-end television that, in most uses, simply performs well or very well. It is not a model aimed solely at cinema, gaming or watching in a bright living room. Its greatest advantage is that it can combine all those things in a single set and it does not have any one clearly weak point. In terms of picture the UR8S has a lot to offer. Contrast is high, H...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 7 II is a TV that shows RGB Mini-LED doesn't have to be reserved just for the wealthiest customers. Although in some areas it's clearly positioned below the Bravia 9 II, in everyday use it doesn't feel like a severely stripped-down model. What really makes the difference is the combination of very good black levels, high brightness and Sony's excellent algorithms. As a result the p...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: XIAOMI

Verdict:

In its 85- and 98-inch sizes, the Xiaomi S Mini 2026 is a television that can be recommended with far more confidence than its smaller variants. Very good contrast, around 1000 nits of brightness and Dolby Vision support mean HDR films look really good, and the 144 Hz panel gives it a completely different set of possibilities for sport and gaming. If someone is looking for a large Mini LED and is ...

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

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The 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 in the most important areas it still manages to deliver exactly what many people choose this technology for: perfect blacks, very high contrast and a picture that can simply look spectacular in ...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG MRGB85 is a television that is best suited to gamers and users who are attached to webOS. In that respect it is hard to fault. It offers plenty of benefits for gamers thanks to a very high panel refresh rate. Add to that the smoothly operating webOS, which stands out above all for the convenient Magic Remote and a full set of features for traditional television. The problem begins when you ...

Available screen sizes: 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB + PFS

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL RM7L is a TV that can't be fairly assessed by measurements and charts alone. Although it isn't uncompromising kit, it more than holds its own in everyday use. It delivers a bright, dynamic and richly saturated picture, which makes it great for HDR content, gaming and fast-paced films. The RM7L doesn't chase perfect "reference-level" accuracy. Instead, it serves up an image that simply plea...

Available screen sizes: 42”, 48”, 55”, 65”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a superb impression. The combination of an OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity gives a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what we expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections in bright sunlight stop being a major problem, and thanks to the presence of...

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 Samsung's best OLED in many years. In terms of picture quality it's genuinely hard to find a weak point. Blacks are perfect, as befits an organic panel, and the HDR effect impresses with its brightness and colour saturation. The use of a QD-OLED panel delivers an image that in many scenes looks almost reference-grade....

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN80H is a genuinely successful mid-range television and, in our view, should be seen exactly that way. Not as a new Neo QLED flagship, but as the first model in Samsung's lineup to give a clear taste of better picture quality. Full Mini LED backlighting, high brightness and well-saturated colours mean that for someone upgrading from a standard LCD TV the difference can be substantial....
