55-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The U7Q PRO is a TV that makes it clear within minutes: "speed is what matters here". Hisense has surprised us with how much they’ve packed into a device that doesn’t cost a fortune. A refresh rate of 165 Hz in 4K, and even 288 Hz in Full HD – not long ago, such figures were reserved exclusively for top-end gaming monitors. And here we have a mid-range TV with almost a full suite of features for g...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U7Q is one of the most interesting Mini-LED TVs in its price segment, clearly demonstrating that Hisense is starting to make a mark in the market not only through the price-to-performance ratio but also through increasingly refined picture quality. Let's start with what truly impresses: the contrast and black levels are at a level that was recently unattainable in this price range. Combine...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a TV like no other – and even though competition has emerged, it still does it best. The matte display, flush with the wall, and a single thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a painting more than any other screen. The Art Store app still offers the best art scans on the market (even if they are subscription-based), and with interchangeable ...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED TVs. We have an organic matrix here that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how much LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F shows its class without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly brighter WOLED panel, ...

Verdict:

The U8000F is a very basic television that may find its buyers among those looking for the cheapest Samsung 4K with Smart TV. And that is exactly its purpose. Thanks to the Tizen system, this model offers quite a bit in terms of smart features – the number of applications and possibilities may catch the attention of those who want a reasonably smart device at the lowest price possible. When it com...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS9000 is proof that the manufacturer not only keeps a finger on the pulse but also carefully listens to its users. In the latest version of this popular series, there is a clear progression – especially in comparison to the previous generation that we had the opportunity to test. The use of a VA panel has brought noticeable improvement in blacks, which finally presents itself at a decent...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation, and in several aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's C4 model. The biggest change is the significantly higher brightness – for the first time in the history of the C series, the barrier of 1000 nits has been exceeded, which significantly improves the quality of HDR effects. Both movies and TV shows look more dynamic as a result, and bright sc...

Verdict:

Ambilight because that's exactly where we need to start, it's the biggest reason to buy the PUS8500. The three-sided backlighting on the TV looks fantastic, especially in the evening. It creates atmosphere, masks contrast imperfections, and makes viewing simply more enjoyable. Even if the black isn’t perfect here, at high contrast the native VA panel is just good. On top of that, there’s really de...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The mid-range television segment is expanding rapidly, and TCL C75B demonstrates that it’s possible to get really solid equipment in this price category. This model is clearly designed with gamers in mind – the HDMI 2.1 port offers a lot of potential, providing VRR, ALLM, and impressive 144 Hz refresh rate in 4K (or 240 Hz in Full HD), which will certainly please both gaming and sports fans. The T...

Verdict:

Hisense S7NQ Canvas TV is a very interesting option, especially for those who are looking for something in the style of a picture-TV but don't want to spend a fortune. At first glance, it stands out primarily because the gallery mode with artwork is completely free – there’s no subscription fee, unlike Samsung's The Frame. Moreover, the box includes a light brown frame right away, which will be an...
