50-inch Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

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...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

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...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: SHARP

Verdict:

Sharp JP7765 is yet another offering in the market that tries to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn't have to cost a fortune. The low price is matched by an exceptionally high brightness – a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that is simply impressive in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn't always handle backlighting management in demanding scenes perfectly, support for...

Verdict:

Looking at the QNED80A in the VA version as a whole, we are dealing with a television that has a very specific character. It's a piece of equipment that movie lovers seeking savings will appreciate, as long as... they accept certain shortcomings. We get really solid blacks and contrast here, but we pay for it with narrow viewing angles. There's no denying it: this is a TV for those who have their ...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL C6KS (also known as C69KS and Q6CS) is a television that on paper promised to be a hit in the "value for money" category. And indeed, in many respects, it's a successful piece of equipment: thanks to the Mini-LED backlighting, we get good blacks and brightness that rivals more expensive models. In fact, it’s identical to that of the slightly pricier C6K, which we have already tested for you. A...

Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how mature miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and blacks, very high HDR brightness that works well for both movies and games, and a matte screen that makes a significant difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for viewing in sunny living rooms – ...

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...

TCL C6K is a TV for those who want to combine gaming and watching movies with good contrast, all without breaking the bank. With its VA panel illuminated by Mini-LED, blacks are deep and contrast is high, making evening viewings look truly impressive.

Available screen sizes: 50”

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are TVs that come for testing, and you immediately think: "oh, just another average one, probably like many others." And essentially... that's true. The TCL C7K doesn't try to dethrone OLEDs, nor does it scream "revolution!" from the box. And yet, after a few days of testing, it's hard not to think: "wow, this is really good gear." And that's exactly what the C7K is. The biggest advantage of...

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...
