42-inch Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 32”, 43”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

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.

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The QNED80A variant based on an IPS panel is aimed at a completely different audience. If you're looking for a TV for a place where life buzzes all day, and family members watch TV from various spots – this will be a good choice. The wide viewing angles and saturated colours make the picture look good, whether you're sitting directly in front or at the dining table. Of course, it's not perfect equ...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung offers two top models with a 4K resolution when it comes to MiniLED technology. In this test, we took a closer look at the not so "fancy" QN95D and QN90D, which we can also find under the name QN92D. Samsung proudly calls its MiniLED televisions the NeoQLED series. Thanks to this technology, the TV offers excellent contrast and high brightness, making movie watching an experience reminisce...
