55-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are TVs that go through testing and at first glance seem to be just another "medium-range" option. The TCL C7K looks just like that - without grand claims of revolution, without ambitions to dethrone OLEDs. Yet, after spending a few days with this model, it's hard not to conclude that it's truly a successful piece of equipment. The biggest advantages? Very good picture quality at a reasonabl...

Technology: QD-OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S95F is an excellent continuation and an improvement on last year's S95D model. Thanks to the QD-OLED panel, we receive a picture that captivates from the first minutes of viewing. The blacks are deep and natural, without any traces of backlighting, and the brightness of the new generation panel reaches levels that not long ago seemed beyond the reach of OLEDs. These values are high enough...

Verdict:

The Samsung S85F with a QD-OLED panel is capable of surprising – and in a very positive way. Even before the tests, we did not think that in the case of TVs often referred to in the context of "panel lotteries", one could come across something that would benefit the user. Yet, in this case, particularly with the 55-inch version, it has fully succeeded. The QD-OLED panel, as expected from organic t...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung QN70F is a pretty decent mid-range TV. Its strongest point is definitely the smoothness of the image – thanks to the 144 Hz panel, low input lag, and a host of extras for gamers, we have here the recipe for nearly an ideal gaming screen. It will work just as well for sports fans – the image is fast, clear, and it doesn't tear. When it comes to image quality – it's really not bad. The VA pa...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense E8Q is a television that clearly draws heavily from the U7Q model – and that’s a great thing. After all, this is its European version, not another “slimmed down” mutation. After just a few moments with this screen, it’s clear that the E8Q is putting up a fight. And in many areas, it really succeeds. To start with – what impresses is that the blacks are deep, the contrast is high, and the b...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

QN80F is the first in the history of Samsung's "eighty range" to feature Mini LED backlighting. And it does it really well. Although the number of dimming zones isn't staggering, the black levels are solid, and in combination with high brightness, it allows for a very decent picture in HDR content. Additionally, there's a 144 Hz panel that provides excellent motion fluidity, and the gaming feature...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG B5 is a really good OLED TV that shows you don’t need to spend a fortune for very good quality. It offers deep blacks typical of organic panels, very good colour reproduction – especially after calibration – and pleasant HDR movie watching experiences. All of this makes for evening screenings that can deliver cinematic emotions even without reaching for much more expensive screens. The fluidity...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG G5 is a television that not only continues but also expands on what we loved about the previous models in the G series. Instead of following the conventional path, LG opted for a new Tandem OLED panel – and it hit the mark. Picture brightness? Simply, F E N O M E N A L. HDR effect? Close to reference. Colours after calibration? Nearly perfect. Motion smoothness, low latency, and features for ga...
