Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL C6KS (also known as C69KS and Q6CS) is a television that on paper promised to be a hit in the "value for money" category. And indeed, in many respects, it's a successful piece of equipment: thanks to the Mini-LED backlighting, we get good blacks and brightness that rivals more expensive models. In fact, it’s identical to that of the slightly pricier C6K, which we have already tested for you. A...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

It’s time to gather all observations. The TCL P7K / P79K is a television that smartly juggles compromises, offering significantly more in its price range than one might expect. Its undeniable advantage is the VA panel, which guarantees deep blacks and high contrast, while an impressively rich package for gamers (with VRR and support for 120 Hz at lower resolutions) makes it a phenomenal choice for...

Verdict:

Hisense E7Q / E79Q is a type of television that doesn’t promise miracles – and maybe that's why it can pleasantly surprise. It doesn’t try to pretend to be high-end equipment; it just gets the job done. If you’re looking for a cheap screen for everything that can handle Netflix, consoles, and morning YouTube while enjoying your coffee, this model makes a lot of sense. The VIDAA system has matured ...

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL V6C is a television whose appeal lies primarily in three elements: the Google TV system, several features beneficial for gamers, and a very low price. The biggest advantage is indeed Google TV – it provides access to an enormous library of apps, from the most popular streaming services to lesser-known programs, and it allows the use of AirPlay, screen mirroring, and voice search. For many ...

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG UA7500 in the VA panel variant is a television designed for daily watching of TV, YouTube or streaming platforms, where SDR content still dominates. It performs this role very well – it has decent digital image processing, respectable upscaling and quite consistent tonal transitions. The biggest advantage remains the webOS system, full of applications and features, such as USB recording, AirPla...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 3 in the VA panel variant is a television that, in terms of character, remains the same budget model, but the change in panel type makes watching movies and series much more enjoyable. The higher contrast and deeper blacks finally allow for evening viewing without the impression of the screen drowning in shades of grey. This is a significant advantage over the IPS version, even if it c...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: XIAOMI

Verdict:

Xiaomi A Pro 2026 is a television that, at first glance, doesn’t reveal significant changes compared to its predecessor. Someone might even think it’s just a copy of last year's model with a different sticker. And there’s some truth to that, as the main novelty, or rather the only noticeable difference, is the 120 Hz mode at lower resolutions. It must be said that Xiaomi has done well here; this a...

Verdict:

Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how mature miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and blacks, very high HDR brightness that works well for both movies and games, and a matte screen that makes a significant difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for viewing in sunny living rooms – ...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q8F is quite a successful continuation of the Q67D model. It offers similar image quality in HDR content, and with a brightness of around 500 nits, it creates an effect that is hard to call ordinary. The support for the HDR10+ format also helps, which has been competing with Dolby Vision for some time and provides comparable experiences in many productions. The contrast is another plus – f...
