The ten OLEDs of 2026 at a glance
All these TVs share the big advantage of OLED: each pixel produces its own light and switches off completely. Perfect blacks, no halos, excellent viewing angles and instant responsiveness. To understand the technology (WOLED, QD-OLED, Tandem panel), first read our article on OLED.
| Series | Panel | Max refresh rate | Dynamic HDR | HDMI 2.1 | Built-in audio | Sizes | Nimestore price from |

| Samsung S99H | QD-OLED (83" in WOLED), Glare Free | 165 Hz | HDR10+ | 4 | 70 W 4.2.2 | 55 to 83" | 2 699,99 € |
| Samsung S95H | QD-OLED (48" in WOLED), Glare Free | 165 Hz | HDR10+ | 4 | 70 W 4.2.2 (48": 60 W) | 48 to 77" | 1 699,99 € |

| Sony Bravia 8 II (2025) | QD-OLED | 120 Hz | Dolby Vision | 2 | 50 W, the screen vibrates | 55 and 65" | 2 499,99 € |
| Sony Bravia 6 | Entry-level WOLED | 120 Hz | Dolby Vision | 4 | 20 W | 48 to 83" | 1 199,99 € |

Public prices checked on nimestore.com on 15 October 2026, starting from the smallest size sold in store. Prices change: the product page is the reference. Nimesclub members often get a reduced price. At Philips, Dolby Vision 2 Max is due to arrive via an update planned for late 2026.
Brightness and reflections: the real deciding factor in 2026
In a dark room, all these OLEDs look magnificent. In broad daylight, facing a window, the differences become visible. Here is what independent measurements say, where they exist.
| Series | Brightness (peak on a small area) | Anti-glare |
|---|---|---|
| LG G6 | Around 2,300 to 3,000 nits measured depending on the area (AVForums), around 2,470 nits (TechRadar) | Reflection Free Premium (except 48") |
| Samsung S95H and S99H | Around 2,700 nits measured on a small window (S95H, HelloTV) | Glare Free, matte treatment |
| LG C6 77 and 83" | Around 2,000 nits measured on the 77" | Standard coating |
| Philips OLED811 / 851 | Around 1,400 to 1,500 nits measured (2,500 claimed) | Standard coating |
| Samsung S92H | Around 1,100 nits claimed | Glare Free |
| LG C6 42 to 65" | A little more than the C5, without the Tandem panel | Standard coating |
| Sony Bravia 6 | Rated 'mediocre' for HDR by RTINGS | No coating announced |
A matte screen like Glare Free removes almost all reflections, but can slightly 'grey out' blacks in bright light. LG's filter keeps deeper blacks, with a few more reflections visible. Both approaches are excellent: it comes down to taste, so judge for yourself in store.
The head-to-heads we're asked about most
LG C6 or Samsung S92H?
The mid-range showdown, at very similar prices (55 inches: €1,999.99 each). The S92H has the matte Glare Free coating, a 60 W 2.1.2 sound system and HDR10+. The C6 has Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox and G-Sync for PC. Very bright room: S92H. Netflix, Disney+ and films in the evening: C6. Note that in Belgium the S92H is called S93H or S94H on Samsung's website, and the Belgian S90H has lighter sound.
LG G6 or Samsung S95H?
The pinnacle of OLED. Both are very bright and treated against reflections. The S95H comes with the One Connect box included (a single thin cable to the screen, ideal for wall mounting) and 70 W sound; it is also the most responsive for gaming (5.7 ms measured). The G6 keeps Dolby Vision and a very flat wall-mount design. In 65 inches: €2,999.99 for the S95H, €3,599.99 for the G6.
Samsung S95H or S99H?
Almost identical picture. The S99H is a little brighter and has a 'FloatLayer' design with a metal frame, but its connections are on the screen itself (wireless box as an option). The S95H, with its One Connect box included, is the best buy for most customers.
Philips OLED811 or LG C6?
Very similar picture on equivalent panels. The Philips adds Ambilight, richer sound (70 W) and HDR10+, often for a little less (55OLED851 at €1,649.99 versus €1,999.99 for the C6). The LG keeps webOS, Google Cast and Auvio. The platform often makes the difference: under Titan OS, Philips doesn't have Auvio.
Sony Bravia 6 or LG C6?
The Bravia 6 is the cheapest (55 inches at €1,299.99) and has four HDMI 2.1 ports, but no XR processor, none of Sony's PS5 features and modest brightness. The C6 is noticeably brighter and more complete. The Bravia 6 makes sense in a dark room, on a tight budget.
Before comparing nits, look at your living room at 3 p.m. If the sun hits the screen, go for an S95H or a G6. Otherwise, a C6 or an OLED811 will give you 95% of the enjoyment for much less. And keep some budget for sound if you go for a 20 W model.

For a very large screen in a bright room, an 85-inch Mini LED often costs less: see our Mini LED buying guide 2026.
HDR, system and the small details that matter
- Dolby Vision or HDR10+? Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV mainly use Dolby Vision, Prime Video uses HDR10+. LG and Sony have Dolby Vision without HDR10+, Samsung has HDR10+ without Dolby Vision. Philips has HDR10+ and is waiting for Dolby Vision 2 Max via a software update. All explained in our article on HDR.
- The system : webOS on LG, Tizen on Samsung, Google TV on Sony, Titan OS on Philips. Belgian apps are not the same everywhere: see our app comparison table.
- Belgian model numbers : LG and Samsung sell the same TVs under different names in Belgium (for example C67LA instead of C64LA at LG). Nimestore often stocks the French model numbers, which are identical at the same size.
- Burn-in : the risk stays low with varied use. Leave the TV plugged in so it can run its maintenance in standby, and avoid news channels displayed ten hours a day.
2025 bargains still in store
Two high-end 2025 OLEDs are still available at bargain prices: the LG OLED55G54LW (G5, 55 inches) at 1 399,99 € and the Samsung TQ55S95F (S95F, 55 inches) at 1 499,99 €. They are brighter than a mid-range 2026 OLED at a similar price. The 2025 Philips 65OLED950 (2 499,99 €) still runs Google TV, a draw for fans of that system. Stock is limited: ask our expert salesperson.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best OLED in 2026?
For pure picture quality in a bright room, the LG G6 and Samsung S95H dominate the tests, with a very bright panel and excellent anti-glare. For most living rooms, an LG C6 or a Philips OLED811 already delivers a superb picture for much less.
Samsung S92H or LG C6?
Same price range and same audience. The S92H has Glare Free matte treatment, HDR10+ and a 60 W 2.1.2 sound system. The C6 has Dolby Vision, used by Netflix and Disney+, and Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox. Choose based on your reflections and your streaming services.
Is the Sony Bravia 6 a good OLED?
Yes for blacks, Dolby Vision and gaming (four HDMI 2.1 ports). But it is noticeably less bright than the other OLEDs in this comparison and handles reflections less well: reserve it for a dimly lit room.
Should you wait for Dolby Vision 2?
No. It will arrive via update on the Philips OLED811, 851 and 911 at the end of 2026, and neither LG nor Sony supports it this year. Dolby Vision 2 content is still rare.
Is a 2025 OLED a good deal?
Often, yes. The LG OLED55G54LW (G5) at 1 399,99 € and the Samsung TQ55S95F at 1 499,99 € offer high-end picture quality for the price of a mid-range 2026 OLED. Stock is limited.
