OLED911 hands-on: Philips' premium Ambilight OLED with Dolby Vision 2 Max and gaming-ready specs

What Hi-Fi? goes hands-on with Philips OLED911, a premium 2026 OLED that pairs RGB Tandem OLED 2.0, Ambilight with AmbiScape room ambience syncing, Dolby Vision 2 Max, and a gaming-focused setup (165Hz VRR, four HDMI 2.1 ports) with a reworked Bowers & Wilkins 81W speaker system. It runs Titan OS on a MediaTek Pentonic 800 and uses a new P5 AI processor for HDR tone-mapping. The chassis is slim (39.9mm) with a redesigned Ambilight bar. UK pricing hints place the OLED910 around £2199 for the 65-inch, OLED911’s price isn’t confirmed; Philips isn’t selling this range in the US/Australia. Early impressions show bright, punchy colors and strong gaming performance, though some banding appeared in streamed content; full verdict to come in the complete review.

RGB LED TVs Edge Into Flagship Territory, Sparking a Mini‑LED Reboot in 2026

RGB LED TVs Edge Into Flagship Territory, Sparking a Mini‑LED Reboot in 2026

Tom’s Guide argues that 2026 marks RGB LED TVs’ ascent, with brands like Samsung and Hisense rolling out RGB LED models that could supplant high-end Mini-LED sets. While RGB LED promises brighter, purer color, it’s still early days: the market could either replace flagship Mini-LEDs with RGB LED or redefine both categories as RGB LED models prove their performance in real-world testing. The article discusses specific RGB LED models from Hisense and Samsung and compares them to last year’s Mini-LED flagships, noting this pivot could reshape the high-end LCD market in coming years.

LG taps Samsung's Eclipsa Audio for 2026 TVs, HDR10+ still off the table

LG taps Samsung's Eclipsa Audio for 2026 TVs, HDR10+ still off the table

LG will add support for Samsung's Eclipsa Audio — a Dolby Atmos rival developed with Google — to its 2026 TV lineup, with a free update bringing the format to select 2025 models (G5, C5, CS5, QNED9M). Eclipsa Audio delivers spatial sound through built‑in speakers or compatible soundbars and carries no licensing fees. LG confirms HDR10+ and Dolby Vision 2 won’t be added, sticking with its Dolby Vision focus for now. The move signals broader, cross‑brand interest in Eclipsa, potentially reaching Netflix/Amazon and Fire TV ecosystems in the future.

LG's new OLEDs land in the US with eye-catching prices on C6 and G6

LG has announced US pricing for its new C6 and G6 OLED TVs. The C6 range runs from 42" to 83" with prices from $1,399 to $5,299; the 77" and 83" models use LG's Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel and Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor, while smaller sizes stay as W-OLED. The G6 lineup spans 55" to 97" with prices from $2,499 to $24,999, also featuring the new panel tech in the larger sizes. LG claims up to 20% brighter performance versus the G5 and blacks under 0.24 nits in bright rooms. UK pricing isn't confirmed yet; both lines are available to pre-order in the US and will ship later this month.

LG: G6’s color saturation is intentional, prioritizing natural tones in Filmmaker Mode

LG: G6’s color saturation is intentional, prioritizing natural tones in Filmmaker Mode

LG says the G6 OLED TV’s colors in Filmmaker Mode are deliberately toned down compared with the G5 to deliver more natural tones, following creators’ feedback that the G5’s palette was too vibrant. The G6 is touted as up to 20% brighter (around 400 nits fullscreen vs about 331 nits for the G5 in Filmmaker Mode) with processing improvements like Alpha 11 Gen 3, Hyper Radiant Color Technology and enhanced tone mapping, plus better handling of reflections. In demonstrations, the G5 appeared more punchy in color, though the G6 offered improved highlights and reduced glare; full lab measurements are pending to confirm overall differences.

8K Hype Fades: TVs Pivot Back to Real-World Benefits

8K Hype Fades: TVs Pivot Back to Real-World Benefits

The TV industry is dialing back its 8K push as practical benefits and native content remain scarce. LG Display is halting 8K panel production, LG Electronics is winding down its 8K line, and the 8K Association’s membership is shrinking. Analysts note that 8K offers little advantage for typical viewing unless screens are very large and viewers are very close, while 4K dominates and other features like OLED, HDR, and Micro LED drive innovation. 8K may persist only in niche or enthusiast markets rather than as a mainstream standard.

Sony-TCL Tie-Up Promises a New Era for TVs, Pending Regulatory Hurdles

Sony-TCL Tie-Up Promises a New Era for TVs, Pending Regulatory Hurdles

Sony and TCL have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to explore a joint venture in which TCL would own 51% and Sony 49% of Sony-branded TVs and related audio hardware. The deal would give Sony access to TCL’s end-to-end manufacturing and TCL access to Sony’s acclaimed picture processing, potentially lowering costs and boosting Bravia performance, while keeping the Sony/Bravia name. It still requires regulatory approvals, and products are likely years away (potentially 2027), with many questions about how much Sony tech would flow to TCL and how premium vs. midrange lines would be divided. It signals a potential new phase for Sony rather than the end of the brand.

Sony-TCL JV Aims to Shape the TV Era, Bravia Brand Stays

Sony and TCL announced a joint venture to spin Sony's TV and audio business into a new company, with TCL owning 51% and Bravia branding remaining for Sony sets; the plan targets a 2027 start after regulatory approvals. By combining Sony's image/audio tech with TCL's display manufacturing and scale, the partnership seeks to better compete in the crowded smart-TV market, potentially bringing pricing pressure and, on TCL-branded sets, more advertising.

RGB Mini-LED TV Hype Faces OLED Reality in 2026

An opinion piece from Tom's Guide analyzes Micro RGB (RGB Mini-LED) TVs from Samsung, Hisense, Sony, and LG, noting they promise brighter, more vivid color but still fall short of OLED's pixel-level dimming and contrast; while RGB models are expanding to mainstream sizes, pricing is expected to be higher than mid-to-high-end OLEDs, which could limit broad adoption in 2026; in short, OLED likely remains the top pick for picture quality, with Micro RGB shaping the technology landscape but not dethroning OLED yet.
