In this video, Kate takes you through the top 5 new TVs for 2026, including totally new TVs and refreshes of flagship models from Samsung and LG. At CES we saw the newest TV tech, including RGB Mini-LED TVs that come in ridiculous sizes and super bright SQD Mini LED’s from TCL. We also cover the latest updates to Samsung’s flagship S95H as well as LG’s premier G6 OLED models with Hyder Radiant Color technology and the more affordable C6 OLED with newly upgraded panels.

2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting one for TVs. From super bright OLEDs to wild new RGB
0:06
backlighting tech, this is the year your next TV might genuinely blow you away
0:11
Let's count down the coolest TVs that you should keep on your radar. Kicking things off with one of the most surprisingly impressive OLEDs that we previewed at CES 2026
0:23
the Samsung S95H. This is the successor to one of the best Samsung TVs ever, boosting brightness
0:30
and refining picture that you love from QD OLED. What stands out? A glare-free matte screen that
0:36
cuts reflections dramatically, great if your living room has, you know, big windows and natural
0:40
lighting, and a stylish new metal bezel with an optional wireless One Connect box that adds up to
0:46
four HDMI ports for support for eight total. It's not just about the looks here. The S95H is set to
0:53
deliver deep blacks and vivid HDR performance, which is exactly what you want for movies, sports, and games
1:02
LG's G6 OLED is the 2026 flagship from the OLED King, and the only reason I didn't mention it
1:08
first was because, like, duh, LG's flagship is always the best that it gets. Powered by a second
1:14
generation primary RGB tandem OLED panel with hyper radiant color technology LG is pushing brightness up roughly 20 over its last G5 also while retaining OLED signature deep blacks and that
1:27
wide color gamut. This should hopefully mean punchy HDR highlights and a more dynamic picture
1:32
even in bright rooms, a key OLED weakness in the past. The G6 also throws in 4K 165Hz gaming
1:39
support, VRR, ALM, and four HDMI 2.1 ports, making this a killer pick both for your movies
1:46
and next-gen gaming consoles. Then there's the LG C6 OLED, a step down. It uses a version of the primary RGB tandem
1:57
OLED panel as well, but with a twist, only on the larger 77 and 83-inch C6H models that
2:04
are getting that upgraded panel for richer color and higher brightness. Smaller sizes should still benefit from OLED performance, excellent picture quality, but without the full tech of the G6
2:15
Every C6 model gets the same Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor, which improves upscaling and motion handling
2:22
and the TV supports four HDMI 2.1 ports. If you want OLED performance, that's a bit more approachable than the G6, but still excellent for movies and gaming
2:32
The C6 family is where it at especially if you go for one of the larger C6H screens Now let talk mini LED TCL new X11L SQD mini LED specifically
2:46
This flagship TV uses super quantum dot mini LED tech to smash traditional LCD limits
2:52
up to 10,000 nits peak brightness and 20,000 local dimming zones for deep contrast and vivid HDR highlights
3:00
TCL claims full BT2020 color coverage with better consistency and reduced color crosstalk
3:05
compared to traditional or typical RGB mini LEDs. What does that mean for you
3:11
Big brightness for daylight rooms, precise highlights in HDR movies, and fewer haloing artifacts around bright objects on dark backgrounds
3:19
things that LCD has historically struggled with. It also packs Dolby Vision 2.0, four HDMI 2.1 ports
3:26
and premium audio tuned with Bang & Olufsen. This TV is actually available to order at the time of recording this video, so you don't even have to wait
3:34
I'll link it in the description. Now for something a little bit different
3:41
Hisense's 116 UXS RGB Mini LED blew us away at CES, and not just because of the size
3:49
Hisense next RGB Mini LED tech adds a cyan subpixel alongside the red green and blue That means an expanded color gamut that exceeds 110 of BT2020 allegedly delivering some of the richest most vibrant LCD picture quality that we should see
4:06
and that we definitely saw at the show. What that means for you is that the RGB mini LED plus
4:11
cyan backlighting should help with brightness, control, and color fidelity, and that made it
4:16
one of the most visually stunning LCD TVs that I think I've ever seen
4:23
This video was me narrowing down premium TVs that we already know are coming this year and have already had the chance to see in person
4:31
You'll notice I didn't mention anything ultra premium. I also didn't mention Sony, and that's because we won't hear about Sony TV plans until later in the year, maybe March or April
4:41
But we do know that Sony is going all in on RGB TVs this year, so stay tuned
4:46
For now, these are the TVs that I know we're going to prioritize getting into our testing bench for full reviews
4:51
but it would help me a lot if you would let me know exactly what you want to see tested first
4:56
