85-inch OLED 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...

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...

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, ...

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 ...

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....

Brand: LG

Verdict:

Without a doubt, the LG G6 is an outstanding television in many respects. Thanks to the new second-generation Tandem OLED panel, it does something that no other screen with a glossy coating on the market has been able to achieve – it superbly suppresses light reflections while maintaining perfect, unblemished picture quality. When we add to this its record brightness and the unique properties of t...

Available screen sizes: 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S85F in the tested version with a WOLED panel is a television that must be judged primarily in light of its price. True to organic technology, it offers perfect, almost ideal blacks and infinite contrast in cinematic conditions. This feature alone will impress the majority of buyers, especially those upgrading from any LCD television. However, it cannot be denied that in a direct compa...

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 the smaller sizes and opted for the Tandem WOLED panel produced by LG Display. This move initially raised questions, but in practice, it turned out to be a home run. Here we have an exceptionally successful mix: absolutely reference black levels, outstanding brightness that allows enjoyment of HDR content even during the ...

Verdict:

LG B5 is really a good OLED television, which shows that you don't have to spend a fortune for very good quality. It offers deep blacks typical of organic panels, very good colour reproduction – especially after calibration – and enjoyable HDR movie watching experiences. All of this means that evening screenings can provide cinema-like emotions even without resorting to much more expensive screens...
