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.

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL P8K is a TV that immediately wins you over. It seems cheap, supposedly from a lower tier, but it can surprise you. This device shows that you can get a product with character at this price – and it's aimed at a specific group of users. Because let's be honest, the P8K is a television created with gamers in mind. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR support, 4K at 120 Hz, HGiG, and even Dolby Vision in ...

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

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, QLED

Brand: PANASONIC

Verdict:

The Panasonic W85B is a television that aims to prove that the Japanese brand can produce not only high-end devices but also something more "for the people." And indeed — on paper, it looks quite good: a VA panel with solid contrast, high refresh rates of 120/144 Hz, two full HDMI 2.1 ports, and low input lag. It sounds like an excellent set for a gamer or someone who simply wants a cheap televisi...

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

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 3 is a television that brings several important improvements over its predecessor while still staying true to its core. The biggest change is the design – slim bezels and sturdy metal legs make it look modern and fit much better in a living room than the X75WL. The improved colours thanks to the PFS filter and really good upscaling are also a plus. It is particularly with lower-quality...

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

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...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips MLED920 is a natural continuation of last year’s PML9000 model, but it’s not a rehash. It’s clear that the manufacturer has done their homework – primarily, the local dimming algorithms have been improved, which last year could really spoil the viewing experience. Now, black levels and contrast are definitely better, and combined with Dolby Vision here, even HDR content looks quite decent....

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 77”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PANASONIC

Verdict:

Panasonic Z95B is equipment that makes it hard not to raise your eyebrows in delight. From the very first moments, it's clear that we're dealing with an absolutely exceptional screen, capable of bringing out the best in films and games. The black levels are perfect, brightness in HDR is stunning, and the colours – whether in movie mode or gaming – show that the factory calibration at Panasonic has...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG QNED93A is a television that at first glance appears to be a solid step forward compared to previous LCD models from this brand. On paper, we get a lot: significantly more dimming zones, 144 Hz refresh rate for gamers, support for all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and WebOS with a new Magic remote, which remains one of the most user-friendly control systems. The QNED93A shines most brigh...
