LG C6 OLED

4.6

7 sources$1,499.99as of Sep 4

The LG C6 OLED offers improved brightness and processing power with its Alpha 11 AI Gen 3 chip, delivering vibrant HDR performance even with curtains open. While it outperforms many competing mid-range OLEDs and RGB mini LED models, the 2026 model lineup now splits by panel type, with smaller sizes using the OLED EX three-stack panel. New webOS issues and purchase terms have emerged as notable drawbacks for buyers.

Strengths

— 40% brighter SDR and HDR performance compared to previous C5 model with similar panel
— Alpha 11 AI Gen 3 processor delivers 6nm efficiency, cooler operation, and 12-bit color processing
— Outperforms many RGB mini LED models and rival mid-range OLEDs in picture quality

Watch-outs

— Split model lineup with different panels based on size
— The performance gap doesn't justify the higher price compared to last year's model.

4.5

6 sources2 derived$2,454.99as of Sep 4

The Samsung S95F OLED delivers the best picture quality tested, with breakthrough anti-glare technology that outperforms competitors like the LG G5 in bright-room viewing.

The TV features a matte finish, upgraded processor, and four HDMI 2.1 ports, though it comes with a separate connection box that some find cumbersome.

How they stack up

LG C6 OLED

The LG C6 OLED offers improved brightness and AI processing over the C5 Series, but it's less bright than the LG G5 OLED and lacks the superior anti-glare coating of the Samsung S95F Series. While it's more affordable than the S90H OLED, it doesn't feature the 165Hz refresh rate that makes the S90H better for gaming.

Samsung S95F Series

The Samsung S95F Series delivers the best picture quality tested with superior anti-glare technology compared to the S95H OLED, but it's more expensive and includes a cumbersome One Connect box that the S90H OLED avoids. While it outperforms the Sony Bravia 8 II Series in glare reduction, it lacks the QD-OLED panel that provides native 120Hz support and better motion handling.
