Samsung S95H OLED 65"

The best-performing TV in this batch and the OLED to buy for a bright room, if you can live without Dolby Vision.

93 out of 100

Excellent

Best for: Bright living rooms where you still want OLED contrast

Samsung's 2026 flagship QD-OLED pairs very high brightness with a matte Glare Free screen. Tom's Guide measured about 2,721 nits in HDR, the brightest OLED it had tested, and RTINGS rates its handling of direct reflections as outstanding. That makes it the strongest OLED here for rooms with windows or lamps, though RTINGS notes ambient light lifts black levels and gives the screen a slight purple tint. It still lacks Dolby Vision, and Tom's Guide found the remote cheap for the price.

What's good

  • Brightest OLED Tom's Guide has measured, about 2,700 nits
  • Matte screen practically eliminates direct reflections
  • Up to 165Hz with four HDMI inputs
  • Works with Samsung's Wireless One Connect Box (sold separately)

What's not

  • No Dolby Vision
  • Blacks look lifted and slightly purple in bright light
  • Remote feels cheap for a flagship
  • Silver frame design is divisive
