QLED / LCD TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: KIANO

Verdict:

The Kiano Elegance is primarily aimed at people who want to spend as little as possible on a TV while still having convenient access to popular apps. Using Tizen is a big plus here, because you get the system known from Samsung sets and don’t have to immediately buy a streaming stick or set-top box to watch movies or series. At a suitably low price, that could be reason enough to consider this mod...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL P7L is a solid budget TV that shows you can get more than just a basic screen for a relatively low price. It doesn't match pricier Mini-LEDs or OLEDs, but in its class it has plenty to offer. Its VA panel delivers decent blacks and contrast, so evening viewing doesn't look as flat as on many cheap IPS models. Colours also look good after calibration. For watching movies and TV shows it's a...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

The idea behind The One series has remained practically unchanged for years, and with the Philips PQS9001 this is both an advantage and its biggest weakness. Once again, we get a versatile mid-range TV whose main distinguishing feature is Ambilight. The lighting that follows what is happening on the screen can completely change the atmosphere of an evening movie session, and for many people it wil...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2026 is still a TV aimed at a fairly specific type of buyer. If your main priority is having a screen that looks good in your interior, hangs almost flush against the wall, and doesn’t simply turn into a large black rectangle when switched off, there are very few TVs on the market that execute this idea quite as well. The matte screen, interchangeable bezels, external One Connect...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 2 II is a TV that’s best suited to simple, everyday use. And we suspect many people will pick it mainly for Google TV. The system gives access to a huge number of apps and streaming services, and you also get Chromecast, AirPlay and convenient voice search. The TV itself may not run as fast as pricier Sony models, but in terms of functionality there’s little to complain about. Impo...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The M80H shows its strengths best where motion matters most. A fast panel, a refresh rate up to 144 Hz and relatively low motion blur make sports and fast-paced games look really good. In this respect the TV can even outperform some significantly more expensive Samsung LCD models. Gamers also get low input lag, three full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and Game Motion Plus, which can improve the smoothn...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 3 II is a TV where you can quickly see what the manufacturer had in mind for this model. It’s meant above all to be a sensible Bravia for gaming, and in that respect the changes are quite significant. Sony has finally fixed one of the biggest headaches of its TVs, namely having only two full HDMI 2.1 ports. This one has four, and that alone makes the Bravia 3 II a much more conveni...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 55”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: DREAME

Verdict:

The Dreame Q100 is the entry-level model in the manufacturer's line-up, and its price alone hints at what to expect. It's not a TV that aims to win on picture quality. Its strengths lie elsewhere: it runs Google TV, offers a surprisingly large number of features for gamers, and is fairly inexpensive. In terms of picture, the Q100 performs similarly to many other TVs in this segment. The VA panel d...

Available screen sizes: 75”

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS9010 (The One 2025) in the 75-inch version with an IPS panel is a TV that clearly shows the differences arising from the panel used. Compared to the VA panel variant, it offers significantly better viewing angles, very good compatibility with consoles, and excellent text readability, but at the same time, it loses out on black levels and maximum brightness. This model is best suited for...

Available screen sizes: 70”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: SHARP

Verdict:

Many of you likely have a sentiment towards the Sharp brand, and we also approached this test hoping for something solid at a good price. The GL4760E model is a classic, budget Sharp that we’ve known for years: simple, accessible to everyone, and equipped with what’s most important today, namely Google TV. At the outset, it gets a plus from us for trying to offer the user a complete multimedia pac...
