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:

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...

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...

Technology: WRGB OLED

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...

Verdict:

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...

Verdict:

Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED TVs. We have an organic matrix here that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how much LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F shows its class without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly brighter WOLED panel, ...

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 OLED 48 S90D or S94D is the smallest model in this series and we had the opportunity to check out what it can do. At first glance, it’s clear that it handles details in dark scenes excellently, as expected from an OLED. It’s worth mentioning that the 48-inch version differs from the larger models. The brightness is slightly lower, and the panel has a satin finish instead of a glossy one. D...

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 – ...

Verdict:

Samsung S85H is a very successful continuation of the S85 series and a TV that still performs its main role well: to be an affordable entry into the world of OLEDs. The biggest change from its predecessor is the use of LG Display's new OLED SE panel, but the overall character of this model remains practically unchanged. Its greatest strengths are still perfect blacks, very high contrast and a pict...
