Is the TCL A400U worth buying? Yes, because it's one of those TVs where paying extra for a higher-tier model doesn't always make sense. In movies you get what you'd expect from a good TV: very good blacks, punchy HDR and a natural-looking picture, especially after calibration. There's enough brightness for daytime viewing, although because of the glossy panel it's best not to place it opposite a l...

Hisense U7S is the latest iteration of the U7 series, whose biggest advantage remains its price-to-performance ratio. You get a Mini LED TV with local dimming, which genuinely improves black levels and gives the picture more depth for evening viewing. During the day a generous brightness reserve helps, so you don't have to rush to close the curtains. It's not a device without compromises, but as a...

The Hisense UR8S is above all a very versatile, higher-end TV that in most situations simply performs well or very well. It's not a model aimed only at cinema, gaming or watching in a bright living room. Its biggest advantage is that it can combine all those uses in a single set and doesn't have any one obvious weak point. In terms of picture, the UR8S has a lot to offer. Contrast is high, HDR can...

Sony Bravia 7 II is a TV that shows RGB Mini-LED doesn't have to be reserved only for the wealthiest buyers. And although in a few places it’s clear it sits below the Bravia 9 II, in everyday use it doesn't feel like a heavily stripped-down model. The biggest thing here is the combination of very good black levels, high brightness and Sony's excellent algorithms. That makes the picture dramatic, w...

In the 85- and 98-inch sizes the Xiaomi S Mini 2026 is a TV you can recommend with much more confidence than its smaller variants. Very good contrast, around 1,000 nits of brightness and Dolby Vision support make HDR movies look really good, and the 144 Hz panel gives it completely different capabilities for sport and gaming. If you're looking for a large Mini LED and don't want to pay top-tier pr...

TCL RM7L is a TV that can’t be judged fairly by numbers and measurement charts alone. Although it’s not uncompromising, it more than holds its own in everyday use. It delivers a bright, dynamic and saturated picture, so it’s great for HDR content, games and fast-paced movies. The RM7L doesn’t chase perfect "reference-grade" accuracy. Instead it serves up an image that’s simply pleasing to the eye....

TCL A400 Pro is one of the most interesting lifestyle TVs we've tested so far. And not because it turns the whole idea of the "TV as a picture" upside down. In that respect it does roughly what the competition does: it should look good, blend into the interior and not be just another black slab in the living room. Its real strength lies elsewhere: in picture quality. This is the first TV of this k...

TCL X11L is, without a doubt, a powerful showcase from the manufacturer and a TV that impresses in many areas. It’s clear the engineers focused on what matters most: peak brightness, blacks and contrast. The new quantum dots with an SQD filter do such a good job that colour saturation is on par with the top new RGB panels. And the blacks? The X11L can easily stand next to an OLED and doesn’t lose ...

The TCL C8L is without doubt one of the most intriguing Mini-LED TVs to reach our lab this year. It stands out above all for an excellent price-to-performance ratio. TCL has already got us used to aggressively priced screens, but with the C8 series the company pushes that even further. At a price that would typically only buy a mid-range model—or possibly two models like the C8K—here you get featu...

TCL C7L is an incredibly successful Mini-LED television and a fully deserved successor to the hit model C7K. The list of advantages of this device is really long. At the top is the extremely high brightness of the panel. Thanks to this, the television handles brightly lit living rooms without any problems, offering a fantastic and dynamic image in HDR format. Huge applause is also due for the use ...
