85-inch QLED / LCD TVs – Test Rankings

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...

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...

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”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG NANO81A is essentially a continuation of the NanoCell series, which has hardly changed over the past few years. Aside from a new operating system, a refreshed remote, and a few marketing add-ons, we are dealing with practically the same construction that we have known for years. Thanks to the nano-particle filter, the television can display better, cleaner colours than standard budget televisio...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E7Q PRO is a television that clearly shows where the manufacturer has placed its priorities. This is not a model focused on flashy HDR or cinematic fireworks in a dark lounge. It’s equipment tailored for universal use, with a strong emphasis on gaming and daily content streaming at a very attractive price point. The biggest disappointment remains the abandonment of local dimming compar...

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

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense A6Q from the outset shows that its main advantages are: A. Price, B. Simplicity, and C. Predictability in everyday use. It’s a television that simply does its job – you turn it on, choose an app, watch or play, and nothing gets in the way. Good black levels, quick response to gamepad movements, a smoothly operating system, and a full set of basic functions make it easy and frustration-free...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

The Haier Q80FUX television is one of the most schizophrenic propositions we have had in our editorial office for a long time. On one hand, we have a solid piece of equipment: a VA panel guaranteeing deep blacks, as expected for this segment, and a QLED quantum filter that can indeed generate juicy, eye-catching colours. This is the foundation on which a truly competitive mid-range receiver could ...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

It’s time to gather all observations. The TCL P7K / P79K is a television that smartly juggles compromises, offering significantly more in its price range than one might expect. Its undeniable advantage is the VA panel, which guarantees deep blacks and high contrast, while an impressively rich package for gamers (with VRR and support for 120 Hz at lower resolutions) makes it a phenomenal choice for...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 58”, 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense E7Q / E79Q is a type of television that doesn’t promise miracles – and maybe that's why it can pleasantly surprise. It doesn’t try to pretend to be high-end equipment; it just gets the job done. If you’re looking for a cheap screen for everything that can handle Netflix, consoles, and morning YouTube while enjoying your coffee, this model makes a lot of sense. The VIDAA system has matured ...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL P8K is a TV that immediately wins you over. It seems cheap, supposedly from a lower tier, but it can surprise you. This device shows that you can get a product with character at this price – and it's aimed at a specific group of users. Because let's be honest, the P8K is a television created with gamers in mind. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR support, 4K at 120 Hz, HGiG, and even Dolby Vision in ...
