Review Samsung DU7192 (IPS) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung DU7192 is a very budget-friendly solution that is primarily suited for typical Sunday viewing. The television performs best during daytime viewing, as ambient light effectively masks its less-than-ideal black levels. Thanks to the IPS panel, colours will maintain their hues and saturation even from an angle. The brightness of the Samsung DU7192 also suggests the usage it will excel in, nam...

Review Philips PML9009 / 9019 / 9059 Main photo

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PML 9009 is the top LCD television from the manufacturer, featuring Mini LED backlighting. The device itself boasts excellent build quality, a stylish remote, and the manufacturer's exclusive multicolour Ambilight backlighting.

Available screen sizes: 48”, 55”, 65”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Review LG QNED87T6B Main photo

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

Technology: LCD IPS, QLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG QNED87T is a television that definitely stands out. It's a bit unconventional – it doesn't try to forcefully compete with top OLED models, but it makes up for it with modern features and user-friendly operation. It's equipment that works great for those who value comfort and versatility. The 120 Hz panel, VRR, and ALLM make the television perform well with dynamic content. Games run smoothly, t...

Review LG 55 B4 Main photo

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 77”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG OLED B4 is an exceptionally versatile device in the semi-premium category. For how else can you describe an OLED television that is so well-priced, and whose price, as history shows, will quickly drop? Perfect blacks and contrast are two things that inevitably hypnotise, and we are sure that anyone who has ever owned a device with this panel will not be able to return to LCD units. The brightne...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 77”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S85D is Samsung's entry-level OLED model for 2024, but it certainly doesn't feel "budget". From the very first contact, the TV demonstrated that OLED technology makes a difference. Deep blacks, excellent contrast, and great viewing angles make watching your favourite films and series pure pleasure, no matter where you sit. It's a screen that can truly immerse you in the action. The Tizen o...
