QUESTION
What will be the best TV in 2026?
The best TV in 2026 for most high-end buyers is likely the Samsung S95F OLED, especially if you want top-tier overall picture quality. If you want a slightly more value-minded OLED, look at the Samsung S90F or LG C5 OLED. If you want a bright, large-screen TV for less money, the TCL QM8K is the stronger mid-range pick.
Shortlist:
- Samsung S95F OLED — best overall premium TV pick.
- Samsung S90F — best overall value-leaning OLED pick.
- LG C5 OLED — best upper-mid-range OLED, especially for gaming and smaller sizes.
- LG OLED G5 — best if color accuracy and premium OLED performance matter most.
- TCL QM8K — best mid-range Mini LED-style value pick.
Exact “best” depends on your room: OLED is usually best for cinematic contrast in controlled lighting, while high-end TCL Mini LED options may be better if you want a very bright screen or a larger size for the money.
