It’s hard to replicate the cinematic experience of watching a movie in a theater, but a gargantuan OLED TV is one of the best substitutes we can think of. Instead of an LED backlight, OLED panels are made up of millions of self-emitting pixels, each of which can be controlled individually. This is how these industry-favorite TVs are able to deliver unbeatable black levels and rich colors. This is the kind of picture quality that filmmakers and content creators want you to see, and there are plenty of big screens on the market.

When we say “massive,” we’re talking about anything over 65 inches. OLED makers like LG offer 77- and 83-inch sets, as well as a few 97-inch beasts at equally beastly prices. You’ll also be able to find Samsung and Sony OLEDs beyond the 70-inch threshold, which bodes well for those looking to compare multiple models. We should also mention that OLED TVs are much better than before when it comes to glare reduction, thanks to anti-glare technology and improved panel brightness.

Whether you’re considering wall-mounting a massive OLED or investing in a high-end home theater setup, we thought we’d help you narrow down your TV options by hand-picking the best of the best ourselves. So without further ado, here is our roundup of the five best large OLED TVs for a home theater.

No OLED TV list would be complete without at least one LG TV on the registry. If you value picture quality and visuals, the $6,500 83-inch LG G6 series may be right for you. The G6 uses LG’s primary RGB 2.0 tandem panel and Hyper Radiant technology to boost brightness, especially for HDR content. But OLEDs do their best in a dark room, and that’s when the G6’s inky black levels and wide color gamut are on full display.

LG’s Alpha 11 Gen 3 AI processor also does a good job of upscaling lower-quality content, so everything from your old DVD collection to live SDR broadcasts looks crisp and detailed. And with full HDMI 2.1 connectivity and VRR support, console and PC gaming is nearly lag-free. The G6 even has a native 120Hz refresh rate that goes up to 165Hz, so you can expect smooth movements while you game.

CNET took a close look at the LG G6 series and gave it an 8.7 out of 10. The reviewer did a side-by-side comparison with several TVs, including last year’s G5 series, and felt the former was “clearly better… in terms of shadow detail, anti-glare, and brightness in games.” While there is a slight green tint with off-axis viewing (when you’re not sitting in the center of the screen), this is a common problem with OLEDs, and is only noticeable at extreme angles.

We’re all about flagship OLED TVs, and one of the 2025 flagships you can still get your hands on is the $3,700 77-inch Samsung S95F. Instead of a traditional WOLED panel, this model uses a QD-OLED display, resulting in a higher peak brightness than that provided by the previous generation Samsung S95D. Right out of the box, the S95F does a decent job reproducing a wide color gamut, with full coverage of the Rec.709 color space and 99.95% coverage of DCI-P3. If you want to experience the true color accuracy of the TV, you can upgrade to the built-in Cinematographer mode.

Speaking of motion, the S95F has a native 120Hz refresh rate that can reach 165Hz with Motion Xcelerator, as well as VRR and ALLM support, which is worth considering for console and PC gamers. The TV’s anti-glare coating does a good job of reducing glare, allowing the S95F to hold its own in a well-lit room. TechRadar tried this high-end Samsung and gave it a perfect 5/5, praising its brightness, colors, glare reduction, and gaming technology. The reviewer criticized the TV for its lack of Dolby Vision support, which continues to be a turnoff for Samsung.

Similar to the LG G6 series, the S95F also does not support DTS audio formats. That said, the TV’s built-in speaker system is better than average, so you might not even need a soundbar for this 77-inch OLED. This is a Samsung TV that houses the I/O on its Slim One Connect box, including four HDMI 2.1 ports, audio out, USB, and Ethernet. Although availability is dwindling, Best Buy is still selling the 77-inch S95F brand new, and user reviews have given it a 4.7 out of 5 stars (based on 200 reviews).

The $2,000 77-inch LG C5 Series is an industry-lauded OLED that hit the market in 2025, but you’ll still be able to get your hands on one from several retailers. Unlike the flagship G6 series we mentioned above, the C5 doesn’t use LG’s Primary RGB Tandem Panel 2.0 technology, so this OLED isn’t as bright. That said, you can still expect vibrant colors and punchy highlights, especially when watching or playing HDR content. Unfortunately, HDR10+ support is missing on all LG TVs, but the C5 works with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG formats.

On Amazon, the 77-inch C5 earned a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 (based on over 1,200 reviews), and most of the reviews were at the 5-star level. People like the TV’s picture quality and intuitive user interface, but a few users found the TV’s webOS software to work a little wobbly. Many people also don’t like the remote control that comes with it. At What Hi-Fi, the C5 scored top marks, with compliments for its “rich, solid and engaging image that balances dynamism and authenticity”.

Other notable features include a native 144Hz refresh rate, full HDMI 2.1 connectivity, VRR and ALLM support, and LG’s webOS for everything apps, streaming, and UI. The manufacturer also claims that you will get up to five years of webOS updates. The LG C5 may not be a perfect OLED, but it’s a solid runner-up to both the G5 series (LG’s 2025 flagship) and the G6 series.

The $5,300 83-inch Samsung S90H is one of the newer Samsung OLEDs on this list. Accolades range from “colors are bright and vibrant” to “exceptional reflection management” for this model, which sits just one rung below the manufacturer’s 2026 flagship, the S95H. Surprisingly, Samsung decided to use a traditional WOLED panel for the S90H lineup, instead of QD-OLED technology. They also decided to remove the One Connect Box, so all inputs are housed on the back of the S90H.

When it comes to brightness, the S90H sometimes performs more like a mid-range LED than a higher-tier OLED. The TV’s strong reflection handling keeps lamps and window light from spoiling afternoon TV time, and it delivers impressive peak brightness when switched to HDR. The only downside is that black levels seem high when there’s a lot of ambient lighting, but that’s easy enough to dim (turn off the lamp and invest in blackout curtains).

Our friends at Techlicious raved about the Samsung S90H, proclaiming: “The S90H is packed with a host of features that make it a great choice for gamers, sports fans, and movie buffs. » The 83-inch size also got 4.9 out of 5 stars on Samsung’s site, and reviews mention that the 2026 version of the Tizen operating system (apps, streaming, and UI) runs much faster than last year’s software.

Finally, we have Sony’s 77-inch Bravia 8 at $2,300, which is actually a higher-tier OLED from 2024 that you can still get for now. Amazon shoppers gave the 77-inch size a rating of 4.1 stars out of 5 (based on over 460 reviews), and TechRadar gave it a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. Sony opted to use a traditional WOLED panel on this model, as opposed to the QD-OLED screen found on the older Bravia A95L. This means the Bravia 8 isn’t as bright as other sets we’ve talked about, but it makes up for it with a wide color gamut and vibrant, lifelike tones.

The Bravia 8 supports HDMI 2.1 on two of its inputs, but one of those connections is also the eARC port. This isn’t a problem, but it might make things a little more difficult when trying to connect a home theater soundbar to the TV. Other notable features include VRR and ALLM support, excellent HDR support (only missing HDR10+), and a robust yet intuitive user interface, courtesy of Google TV. You can even use Google Assistant to search for movies and shows, edit inputs, or control smart home devices.

As of this writing, the 77-inch Bravia 8 is available for a full list price of $2,300, but that’s not bad. But if you don’t mind waiting for a discount, Sony sometimes drops the price as low as $2,100. It’s also worth mentioning that Sony has released a variant of the Bravia 8 – the Bravia XR8B – which does not include Sony’s XR Contrast Booster.

Huge OLED TVs are some of the best-looking TVs on the market, and if you’re planning to keep yours in a dark room, we think you’ll be amazed by the black levels and colors that LG, Samsung, and Sony bring to the table. When choosing the five TVs that made this list, we did our best to include a range of 2024-2026 TV options, and used hands-on professional reviews and user feedback to help inform our selections.

We also haven’t included any OLED TVs from Panasonic or Philips, because the former has completely abandoned TV production and existing models are too hard to find, and the latter only offers a limited number of 65-inch OLED TVs in the United States.
