The list is built from Amazon UK searches for each size across LG, Samsung, Philips, Hisense and Sony, and it names the lowest full-price listing from the maker, ignoring bundles and remotes. Prices move often, so the gaps between sizes matter more than any single figure.
| Size | Cheapest OLED found | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 inch | LG OLED42C65LA | £999.00 | Desk or bedroom; Samsung S90H 42 is also £999 |
| 48 inch | LG OLED48B56LA | £749.00 | 2025 model; the 2026 LG OLED B6 48 is £899 |
| 55 inch | Philips 55OLED760 | £724.99 | Cheapest OLED overall; Samsung S84F 55 is £780.30 |
| 65 inch | Hisense 65A85NTUK | £949.00 | LG OLED B6 65 is £1,599 |

What does the cheapest OLED TV give up?
The cheapest OLED TVs give up peak brightness first. Expert Reviews measured the Philips 55OLED760 at 616 nits on a 10% window in Filmmaker Mode, against just under 1,500 nits for a 65-inch LG C6, and ecoustics measured a 55-inch Samsung S90H at 1,553 nits. The Philips reaches 40% of the premium figures.
| Model | Brightness | Other trade-offs | UK warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philips 55OLED760 | 616 nits on a 10% window, 127 nits full-field (Expert Reviews, Filmmaker Mode) | Standard W-OLED panel, 120 Hz, about 20 mm under the screen | 2 years |
| LG OLED48B56LA | 632 nits HDR on a 10% window (Tom's Guide, 65-inch B5) | 2025 model, α8 processor, no new-generation upgrades | 12 months |
| Hisense 65A85NTUK | 1,000 nits listed | Two HDMI 2.1 ports, VIDAA instead of webOS or Tizen | See Hisense UK |
Contrast does not drop. Every OLED switches each pixel off for true black, so a £724.99 panel keeps the black levels of a £2,000 one. Gaming does not drop either: Expert Reviews counts four HDMI 2.1 ports on the Philips 55OLED760, and Tom's Guide counts four on the LG B5 family. The gap is in highlights and daytime punch, which is the same trade as in Mini LED vs OLED TV.
The 48-inch LG OLED48B56LA is a 2025 model, and the current LG OLED B6 48 costs £899, £150 more. That £150 buys the newer generation, not a different panel type, so buyers who want the saving should take the B5.
Which OLED size costs the least per inch?
The 55-inch size costs the least per inch at £13.18, and the 65-inch costs the least per square inch at 53p. The 65-inch Hisense 65A85NTUK buys 40% more screen area than the 55-inch Philips for £224.01 more, which makes 65 inches the value size for a £949 budget.
| Size | Price | Per diagonal inch | Per square inch | Screen area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42 inch | £999.00 | £23.79 | 132p | 754 sq in |
| 48 inch | £749.00 | £15.60 | 76p | 985 sq in |
| 55 inch | £724.99 | £13.18 | 56p | 1,293 sq in |
| 65 inch | £949.00 | £14.60 | 53p | 1,805 sq in |
| 77 inch | £2,099.29 | £27.26 | 83p | 2,533 sq in |
The 42-inch costs 132p per square inch, 2.5 times the 65-inch rate, so it is a purchase for space and not for value. Size choices are covered in 55 vs 65 inch TV.
