Best 100-inch TVs in 2026 (97 to 100 inches)

The 97-inch G6 is the closest thing to a 100-inch OLED you can buy. Each pixel makes its own light, so dark scenes have true black with no grey haze or halo around subtitles, which is something even the best Mini-LED sets cannot fully match. Colours stay accurate when you sit well off to the side, which helps in a wide living room where not everyone sits in the middle.

LG's own spec page confirms four HDMI inputs that handle 4K at 120Hz with variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode, plus eARC on HDMI 2 for a soundbar. Note that the 97-inch tops out at 120Hz, while the smaller G6 sizes go up to 165Hz. For consoles that is no loss, since the PS5 and Xbox Series X output 120Hz at most.

The G series is built to hang on the wall, and at this size you will want a professional install: the set is heavy and very wide. webOS 26 is quick and LG promises security updates to the end of 2030.

The big drawback is cost. You could buy several of the 98 and 100-inch Mini-LED TVs in this list for the price of one 97-inch G6, and they are likely to go brighter. Choose the G6 if you watch mostly films in a dim room and want the best contrast, not the most screen per pound.

The QN80H is Samsung's mid-range Neo QLED, and the 100-inch model is the most affordable way to get a genuine 100-inch screen from a major brand this year. Neo QLED is Samsung's name for an LCD panel lit by thousands of tiny LEDs, which can be dimmed in zones to improve contrast.

For gaming it is well equipped. UK retailer specs list four HDMI inputs, each accepting 4K at up to 144Hz with variable refresh rate, so you can plug in a console and a gaming PC without swapping cables. The panel runs at 100Hz natively and reaches 144Hz with VRR.

HDR support covers HDR10+, including the new HDR10+ Advanced, but not Dolby Vision. Netflix and Disney+ still play in HDR10 on this set, so you are not locked out of HDR, but you lose the scene-by-scene Dolby Vision metadata.

As an LCD, it cannot match the 97-inch OLED for black depth, and you may see faint glow around bright objects on a dark background. Picture quality also dips if you sit far to the side. In return you get a much larger screen and better daytime brightness for a far lower price, which for most people buying this size is the right trade.

Hisense's UR8S uses an RGB Mini-LED backlight: instead of blue LEDs shining through a colour layer, it uses separate red, green and blue LEDs behind the panel. The result is very rich, saturated colour, and Hisense positions the 100-inch as its giant-screen option.

Hisense UK's spec page lists four HDMI 2.1 inputs, with VRR and ALLM up to 180Hz on three of them and eARC on the fourth. That native 180Hz panel is the fastest here, which suits PC gamers more than console players, as consoles stop at 120Hz.

It is one of the few big sets to support both Dolby Vision (including the newer Dolby Vision 2) and HDR10+, so it handles whatever HDR version your streaming service sends. Hisense quotes a 3,800-nit peak brightness, which is a manufacturer claim.

The smart system is VIDAA, Hisense's own platform. It covers the big streaming apps and includes Freely for UK channels, but its app store is smaller than Google TV's. As with any LCD, black levels and side viewing are not up to OLED standard. In the UK it is sold as 100UR8STUK; elsewhere in Europe it is the 100UR8S.

The X11L is TCL's flagship, and it uses what TCL calls super quantum dots (SQD) to filter colour more precisely than standard quantum-dot Mini-LED sets. TCL's specification lists 20,736 local dimming zones for the 98-inch model sold in the UK, which is a lot even for a screen this size. More zones let the TV light bright objects without washing grey light into the dark area around them.

This is the set to pick if your room gets a lot of daylight. TCL claims extremely high peak brightness for the 98-inch, which is best read as a marketing maximum, but it places the set at the top of TCL's range for bright rooms.

TCL's specification sheet lists four HDMI 2.1 inputs at 4K 144Hz, and European retailers list a VRR mode up to 288Hz. HDR coverage is complete, with Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+. It runs Google TV, which has the widest app choice of any platform here.

The weak points are the price, which is far above what TCL usually charges, and the sheer size and weight. The feet sit near the edges, so plan to wall-mount it or buy a stand wider than about 2.2 metres.

The Bravia 7 II is Sony's first range to use a True RGB LED backlight, with separate red, green and blue LEDs behind the LCD panel. At 98 inches it is a strong choice if you mostly watch films and drama and care about natural skin tones and smooth, well-judged processing, which has long been Sony's strength.

Only two of the four HDMI inputs are full HDMI 2.1, and one of those is the eARC port. If you use an eARC soundbar and own two consoles, you will be swapping cables. The panel runs at 120Hz, which is enough for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

It supports Dolby Vision but not HDR10+, the opposite of Samsung. Google TV gives you every major app, although the home screen carries large adverts.

Sony does not describe an anti-glare coating or publish a dimming zone count, so it suits a room where you can control daylight better than a sunny conservatory. In the UK it is sold as the K-98XR75M2 (retail code K98XR75M2PB).
