Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
Samsung S95H 65"
- RTINGS's best gaming TV and best TV for PS5 in its 2026 lab rankings
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at up to 165Hz, and 9.2 ms input lag at 4K/60 in PCMag's lab
- A matte screen that RTINGS says easily overcomes glare in very bright rooms
- No Dolby Vision, so Xbox Series X owners lose Dolby Vision gaming (RTINGS)
- A $3,399.99 list price, and Tom's Guide recommends the 2025 S90F until 2026 OLED prices drop
- Not sold on Amazon, and RTINGS notes blacks turn slightly gray with room lights on
TCL QM6K 65"
- RTINGS's best budget gaming TV on both its gaming and PS5 lists, and TechRadar's best budget gaming TV in the US
- 4K at 144Hz plus a 288Hz mode at 1080p, with 13.1 ms input lag in TechRadar's test
- Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which neither Samsung OLED in our lineup supports
- Only two of its HDMI ports carry HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, a limit RTINGS and TechRadar both flag
- A glossy screen with no real anti-reflective coating (IGN), so it is better for evening play
- A VA panel that loses color and contrast off-center
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
RTINGS buys every TV it reviews and runs the same lab suite on each one, from input lag to HDMI bandwidth. In its October 2026 update, Adam Babcock ranked the Samsung S95H OLED the best gaming TV the lab has tested, and it also tops RTINGS's list of the best TVs for PS5. All four HDMI ports carry HDMI 2.1 bandwidth at up to 4K and 165Hz, with FreeSync, G-SYNC and HDMI Forum VRR supported.

- Gamers whose TV faces a window or bright lamps
- PC players who want 165Hz on all four HDMI ports
- PS5 owners, who don't lose anything without Dolby Vision
- Anyone who wants the best OLED picture of 2026
TCL QM6K 65"
The TCL QM6K won Best Value because it delivers specs that cost $2,000 three years ago for around $700. The Viewing Angle called it "the most pleasant surprise of the year." RTINGS still names it the best budget gaming TV in its October 2026 update, and TechRadar and IGN agree. Jon Rettinger said it "blew me away for the price." The consensus is unusually uniform.
- Budget console gamers who mostly play in the evening
- Single-console homes that only need two HDMI 2.1 inputs
- Competitive players who want the 288Hz mode at 1080p
- A second TV for a bedroom, office or game room
- Viewers who sit straight in front of the screen
