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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly showcases the purpose of the Neo QLED line. On one hand, it has everything a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent smoothness, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it's still LCD, a technology that requires certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use? In practice, it's hard not to be ...

Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how mature miniLED technology can be developed.

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...

Available screen sizes: 48”, 55”, 65”, 77”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips OLED770 is a television that stands out primarily for its picture quality – the characteristic perfect black and infinite contrast typical of OLEDs make even a regular evening of binge-watching a series feel like a small cinematic experience. After calibration, the colours gain naturalness and consistency, while details in dark scenes are separated from the lights with surgical precision. ...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is the continuation of the iconic X90L model, and it's clear that the manufacturer aimed to take a step forward. A greater number of backlighting zones have been implemented, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, with deeper blacks than its predecessor. The 120 Hz panel and MotionFlow system allow you to tailor the fluidity of the image to your own preferences – from a...

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

QNED86A6A is a television that really does a great job in its price class when it comes to sports, gaming, and everyday TV viewing. The 120 Hz panel makes the image smooth, and the motion sharp, which will be appreciated by both fans and gamers. Additionally, it has low input lag along with a full suite of gaming features such as HGiG, VRR, and ALLM. The television works just as well with a comput...

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

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q7F is the cheapest model from the manufacturer’s QLED line, and it must be said that several advantages can be pointed out here without any problem. After calibration, the colours look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the colours more saturated than in typical budget LCD televisions. It also features a VA panel, which offers quite decent native contrast. This is definitel...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips OLED910 is one of the contenders for the title of TV of the Year 2025 – and we say this with full confidence. Thanks to the META panel used, specifically the Tandem OLED produced by LG Display, we get top-tier, unprecedented brightness in WOLED televisions. Combined with perfect contrast, this delivers unmatched experiences for evening viewing that are hard to find elsewhere. And if we add...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

The Philips OLED820 is a very successful and significant step forward compared to last year's model, the OLED 819. For many people, the main reason for purchasing will, of course, be Ambilight: a multicoloured backlighting system that distinguishes Philips televisions from the competition. It's no surprise, as it made a huge impression on us as well. It’s not just an impressive gadget, but a real ...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U8Q is a television that makes it hard not to feel that the manufacturer approached the topic with the ambition of a top student. The picture is strong, vibrant, and contrasted – as if it’s shouting: “look, I can do more than most at this price!” And indeed, there is something to this. The secret lies in the large number of dimming zones in Mini-LED technology. Thanks to them, HDR doesn't ...
