Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL C69K / Q6C is a TV that perfectly targets gamers and movie fans on a reasonable budget. Its biggest strength is the combination of a VA panel with Mini-LED backlighting. Simply put, contrast is high and blacks are deep, making evening movie sessions look truly impressive. Add to that a 144 Hz refresh rate, which does wonders not only for sports but especially for gaming. And for gamers, it...

Available screen sizes: 65”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

Haier M95E is on paper a television that looks like the dream come true for every bargain hunter. When we look at the specifications – a Mini LED panel with hundreds of zones, a massive brightness exceeding 1500 nits, a QLED 144Hz matrix, phenomenally low input lag, and sound branded by Harman Kardon – everything screams "flagship!". So we are dealing with a device that theoretically should take o...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips MLED920 is a natural continuation of last year’s PML9000 model, but it’s not a rehash. It’s clear that the manufacturer has done their homework – primarily, the local dimming algorithms have been improved, which last year could really spoil the viewing experience. Now, black levels and contrast are definitely better, and combined with Dolby Vision here, even HDR content looks quite decent....

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG QNED93A is a television that at first glance appears to be a solid step forward compared to previous LCD models from this brand. On paper, we get a lot: significantly more dimming zones, 144 Hz refresh rate for gamers, support for all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and WebOS with a new Magic remote, which remains one of the most user-friendly control systems. The QNED93A shines most brigh...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly showcases the purpose of the Neo QLED line. On one hand, it has everything a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent smoothness, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it's still LCD, a technology that requires certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use? In practice, it's hard not to be ...

Verdict:

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 – ...

Rating

7.9/10

Available screen sizes: 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

QN80F is the first-ever “eighty” from Samsung available in a 100-inch version (previously “just” 98 inches 😉) and is also the model that has entered the series with Mini LED backlighting. It must be said that it performs really well at this scale. Although the number of dimming zones may not impress given such a massive screen, the contrast and blacks are solid, and combined with high brightness,...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is the continuation of the iconic X90L model, and it's clear that the manufacturer aimed to take a step forward. A greater number of backlighting zones have been implemented, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, with deeper blacks than its predecessor. The 120 Hz panel and MotionFlow system allow you to tailor the fluidity of the image to your own preferences – from a...

Verdict:

QNED86A6A is a television that really does a great job in its price class when it comes to sports, gaming, and everyday TV viewing. 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...

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

Technology: LCD VA (wide viewing angle), Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung QN990F is a television that makes a huge impression from the very first moment. It's probably one of the most beautiful models on the market – ultra-slim, with an almost invisible frame and a stand that makes it look like the screen is levitating above the table. On top of that, there's the futuristic Wiraless One Connect module, this time in a wireless version, which helps to reduce the n...
