Best 55-inch TV in 2026: our selection by budget
55 inches is the best-selling size in Belgium. Here are the models we recommend in store, from budget to high-end OLED, with the type of living room each one suits.
- Small budget: TCL C6K (QLED Mini LED)
- Best value for money: Samsung QN80H and TCL C89L
- OLED: LG C6 or LG C5 end-of-line
- The high end: LG G6 and Samsung S95H
Short answer: for most living rooms, the best 55-inch TV in 2026 is an LG C6 OLED (or the C5 while stocks last). For a very bright living room, go for a Samsung QN80H Mini LED or TCL C89L. With a small budget, the TCL C6K already delivers a very good 4K picture.
Small budget: TCL 55C6K
A bright, full-featured 4K QLED TV with Mini LED backlighting (Google TV, Dolby Vision), perfect for a bedroom, a second TV or a first living room.
Bright living room: Samsung TQ55QN80H and TCL 55C89L
Mini LED reaches very high brightness: the picture stays vivid facing a window and the HDR is impressive. The Samsung excels in picture processing and its Tizen system, the TCL in its brightness-to-price ratio.
The best choice for most people: LG C6 OLED (or C5)
Perfect blacks, infinite contrast, four HDMI 2.1 ports for the PS5 and Xbox: the LG C-series OLED remains the benchmark. The 2025 C5, end-of-line, is an excellent deal as long as it's available. Read our comparison LG C5 or C6.
The high end: LG G6 and Samsung S95H
The two brightest OLEDs of the year, with a very effective anti-reflective treatment: the best possible picture, even during the day. Read LG G5 or G6.
