We’re live on the scene from CES 2026 this week, where the biggest brands in the TV industry have been busy spotlighting their newest screens and innovations. Yes, there are tons of TVs on display, but there are a handful in particular that have caught our eye.
From upgraded OLEDs to all-new Micro RGB TVs, here’s a round-up of the best sets we’ve seen so far — the TVs that are poised to make a big splash in the coming months.
Samsung R95H
The Samsung R95H is the brand’s latest flagship to flaunt Micro RGB technology.
For most of the major TV-makers, CES 2026 has been all about one thing: RGB-based backlighting.
These teeny-tiny LEDs are smaller than garden-variety Mini-LEDs and create their own red-, green- and blue-colored light instead of relying on a color filter. The result is gobsmackingly gorgeous color — hues that are much brighter and purer than what we’ve come to expect from even the best Mini-LED TVs on the market.
Samsung has dubbed its take on the technology RGB Micro LED, and the Samsung R95H is the brand’s latest flagship to flaunt it. Nick Pino, managing editor of TV and AV for Tom’s Guide, was lucky enough to go hands-on with the Samsung R95H and walked away impressed.
“Samsung's R95H is as bright as any Mini-LED TV I’ve seen,” Nick says, noting that the R95H features “a slightly larger color volume” than those Mini-LED-based TVs. He added: “Scenes from ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ I watched on my Samsung S95D OLED looked significantly brighter and richer on the R95H.”
As mentioned, the R95H is far from the only TV tapping this tantalizing tech on the showroom floor, but given Samsung's pedigree (including its superb track record for picture processing), it's quickly becoming one of our most-anticipated.
Hisense UR9 and UR8
Hisense ain’t messing around this year. After another successful year of selling some of the most competitively priced and value-packed TVs on shelves, the TV-maker has spent the week showcasing its own RGB-based sets — except Hisense is calling its version RGB Mini-LED.
Enter the UR9 and UR8. We don’t know much about these sets just yet (and trust me: I’ve been dying to learn more), but if Hisense’s track record is any indication, there’s a good chance that they’ll be aggressively priced. That’s potentially very good news for shoppers who might be flirting with this cutting-edge display type at some point in 2026.
While showing off the Hisense 2026 TV lineup, the brand confirmed that, between the UR9 and UR8, screen sizes between 55 and 100 inches will be represented. Given the razzle-dazzle prevalence of RGB-based TVs above 110 inches, it’s reassuring to hear that there’s a roadmap to popular size points for these exciting new TVs.
LG C6
It oughtn’t come as a surprise that LG’s latest C Series OLED is on our most-anticipated TV list as we spring into 2026. After all, its predecessor — the LG C5 OLED — was the only TV we bestowed a five-star rating on last year.
LG's C Series sets have been a perennial pick for parsimonious people seeking high-level performance, and the LG C6 is shaping up to play the same role.
Despite its years of success, I’ve longed for a major shake-up to the C Series formula, and this year, we’re getting one — at least for some of the sizes in the series.
The 77- and 83-inch versions of the LG C6 feature LG Display’s marvelous Tandem OLED panel featuring Hyper Radiant Color technology. That’s a heaping helping of technical jargon that essentially means that the two largest sizes in the series will offer better brightness and color volume than the rest of the sizes in the series.
In Nick Pino’s hands-on LG C6 review, he notes the impact of this upgrade, reporting that the 77-inch C6 features color “as deep here as on any TV [he’s] seen so far at CES.”
Color me excited.
Samsung S95H
The S95H is the follow-up to the best OLED TV Samsung has ever made: the Samsung S95F. This alone makes it one of the most exciting TVs of 2026.
Like its predecessor, the S95H is sporting a matte screen that nearly eliminates direct glare. It’s certainly not for everyone as the finish can’t help but lift black levels in well-lit rooms, but it’s hard not to go ga-ga over it when viewed in a controlled, home theater-like setting.
New this year is a swanky, metal bezel and custom wall-mount. This gives the S95H a unique look compared to many of the other wall-mountable OLEDs we’ve come across on the showroom floor this year.
LG Wallpaper TV (W6)
LG’s ultra-thin, artful OLED TV is back after a several-year hiatus, and we couldn’t be happier to see it return. In his LG Wallpaper TV hands-on review, Nick Pino got up close and personal with one of LG’s thinnest OLED TVs to date, noting the set’s surprisingly affordable, yet-to-be-confirmed price.
Also known as the W6, LG's Wallpaper TV is set to take on the lifestyle TV competitors with the not-so-secret weapon of OLED display technology — something we've not seen much of in this popular subcategory of TV.
If the W6 proves successful, we could be seeing a new wave of artful, design-forward TVs with OLED-based displays.
TCL X11L
While brands like Hisense and Samsung are zigging toward an RGB-based future, TCL has chosen to zag. The TCL X11L is a complete reimagining of what it means to be a quantum dot-equipped Mini-LED TV, and my colleague Kate Kozuch is already sold.
In her TCL X11L hands-on review, Kate reported that this set features incredible clarity. "Bright whites popped hard against deep blacks without washing out surrounding colors," she said. "Greens, yellows and neon reds looked intensely saturated but controlled, not smeared or glowing past their edges."
According to its engineers, TCL has reformulated quantum dots entirely and slapped a new color filter and processing algorithm onto the X11L, resulting in its sensational highlights and deep, realistic color.
TCL claims that this TV reaches an eye-popping 10,000 nits of brightness and covers 100% of the BT.2020 color space. That's nuts.
You'll have to shell out a good amount of dough for this one, though. The smallest version of the X11L — a 77-inch version — will reportedly start at $6,999. The 85- and 98-inch versions will be even pricier.
