Best picture quality 55 inch TVs - Summer 2016 Reviews
We still have a few 2016 55" TVs to test but most of the popular
models have been reviewed already. 2015 models begin to fade out and
aren't always cheaper than newer models so now is a good time to buy a
new TV

LG 55EG9100
The LG OLED 55EG9100 1080p is perfect for those that sit farther away than about 8 feet from their TV where additional 4k details are lost. Compared to the LG OLED55E6P, it doesn't support HDR (less colors and can't get as bright) but otherwise offer the same excellent picture quality for most content and outperform LED TVs.
Samsung UN55KS8000 https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN55KS8000-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01C5TFLSE?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&tag=rtings-tv-bm01a-20
For people that only play video games, the 55 inch Vizio P55-C1 is
slightly more responsive (lower input lag). It reflects more light in a
bright room though and for most content the Samsung UN55KS8000
still is better.
Note that the 65" version we reviewed (P65-C1) is different than the 55" P55-C1. The 55" has an IPS panel that produces better picture when watched from the side but not as good in a dark room

In 2016, the best 55 inch 4k TV that we have reviewed is the LG
OLED55E6P. While not without flaws, it is the closest we have seen
to picture perfect and is better than all LED TVs on the market. Last
year LG OLED 55EF9500 offers near identical picture quality except not as good HDR (less colors and brightness) but can be bought for less.

Best 55 Inch TV - $1,000 to $1,500
Samsung UN55KS8000 https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN55KS8000-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01C5TFLSE?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&tag=rtings-tv-bm01a-20
For most people, the Samsung UN55KS8000 represent the best TV to buy
in 55 inch. Its impressive picture quality is nearly identical to the
top of the line Samsung UN55KS9500
which isn't worth the increase in price. Be it movies, sports or video
games, the UN55KS8000 performs great with mixed usages. It can also get
very bright so is a nice option for even the brightest living rooms.

Best 55 Inch TV - $750 to $1,000
$750 to $1,000 can buy a good TV with great bang for the bucks although with fewer features like 3D, HDR, extra brightness or wider colors. For normal content, the picture quality is about the same in this price range as pricier TVs.
Sony XBR55X810C
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR55X810C-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B0148OZLOS?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&tag=rtings-tv-bm01a-20
For between $750 to $1,000, the Sony XBR55X810C is the best TV you
can get by far. It cannot get as bright or display as much colors as
higher end models but has nearly as good picture quality for
non-HDR, regular content. In this price range, you don't need to look
elsewhere.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN55KU6300-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01E69WHP6?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&tag=rtings-tv-bm01a-20
If gaming is a priority, the Samsung UN55KU6300 is more responsive
with an input lag of 19.8 ms. It can also get brighter but has slightly
more blur so not as good for sports. For most people the Sony XBR55X810C remains the better buy.
Our recommendations above are what we think is currently the best 55 inch TVs to buy for most people in each price range. We factor in the price (a cheaper TV wins over a pricier one if the difference isn't really worth it), feedback from our visitors and availability (no TVs that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
