Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG C6 is a very successful evolution of one of the market’s most popular OLEDs. The TV itself hasn’t changed drastically compared with last year’s C5; the look is very similar, webOS offers comparable features, and gamers again get pretty much everything you’d expect from a modern TV. You can’t really complain, since the C5 was already a very complete device in that respect. The most important...

Verdict:

Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a brilliant impression. The combination of OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity produces a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what you expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections on a sunny day become less of an issue, and thanks to the standard polariser...

Verdict:

The Philips OLED820 is a very successful and significant step forward compared to last year's model, the OLED 819. For many people, the main reason for purchasing will, of course, be Ambilight: a multicoloured backlighting system that distinguishes Philips televisions from the competition. It's no surprise, as it made a huge impression on us as well. It’s not just an impressive gadget, but a real ...

Verdict:

Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED TVs.

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...

LG C4 is a television that will likely have no competition in its price range for many users. Thanks to the wide options for purchase, it will appeal to those looking for a TV strictly for movies and series, as well as for gaming. The advanced WebOS system and a remote that works like a mouse will certainly make everyday use much easier and ensure that we will likely stick with this brand for a mu...
