2026 TVs: RGB Revolutionizes Picture Quality

2026 is marking a significant shift in television technology with the introduction of RGB displays, poised to offer the best of both QLED and OLED worlds. These new RGB TVs aim to overcome the limitations of their predecessors, such as QLED's occasional issues with black levels and OLED's performance in bright rooms. This advancement was a major trend at CES 2026.

Samsung's R95H model stands out as a prime example of this new RGB technology. It boasts an exceptionally vivid and realistic color palette, covering a vast portion of the BT.2020 color spectrum and accurately reproducing thousands of Pantone-validated colors. The R95H also features AI-driven scene adjustments, precise contrast, minimal blooming, a 165Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR10+ advanced.

While RGB technology is gaining traction, established QLED and OLED models remain competitive. Samsung, LG, and Hisense are all releasing advanced OLED and QLED TVs alongside their new RGB offerings. For instance, the Samsung S95H is highlighted as the best OLED TV of 2026, offering unparalleled contrast and deep black levels, with a peak brightness of up to 2,500 nits.

Other notable 2026 televisions include the TCL X11L, which is the brightest TV available with its SQD backlight achieving up to 10,000 nits, and the Hisense U6 Pro, recognized as the best budget TV. LG's Gallery TV with Frame is also noted as the best art TV for its mini LED technology and interchangeable frames.
