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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED Super QLED (SQD)

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL C7L is an incredibly successful Mini-LED television and a fully deserved successor to the hit model C7K. The list of advantages of this device is truly extensive. At the top is the extremely high brightness of the panel. Thanks to this, the television handles brightly lit living rooms without any problems, offering a fantastic and dynamic image in HDR format. Huge applause is also due for ...

7.8/10

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U7S Pro is undoubtedly a successful model, but it is designed for specific tasks. Its absolute domain is bright, sunlit living rooms. Thanks to its powerful brightness (over 2200 nits in HDR) and matte panel, you can count on a comfortable picture during the day – without squinting and battling reflections. This excellent performance during the day is matched by its rich features. We g...

7.8/10

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD IPS, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: DREAME

Verdict:

Dreame S100 is a successful, albeit still somewhat raw, debut in the Mini-LED segment. In terms of hardware, the television stands on its own: Mini-LED technology with local dimming provides deep and, for the average viewer, attractive blacks, while the IPS/ADS panel offers brilliant viewing angles. This is a particularly interesting combination, as it is extremely rare in the LCD television segme...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

iFFALCON U85X is a device that draws heavily from the technological solutions of its parent brand, TCL. It's hard not to get the impression that, in terms of pure technical specifications, we are dealing with almost a faithful copy of the successful C6K (C69K/Q6C) series, although in terms of design, the designers opted for references to the more budget-friendly P line. This specific combination m...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: SHARP

Verdict:

Sharp JP7765 is yet another offering in the market that attempts to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The low price comes hand in hand with an exceptionally high brightness – a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that simply impresses in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn’t always manage the backlighting perfectly in demanding scenes, support f...

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

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: BLAUPUNKT

Verdict:

Blaupunkt UGC5500S is a textbook example of a very cheap television that has primarily two huge advantages: the Google TV system and an extremely low price. It is these two elements that make it an appealing option for many people. During testing, we also found a great alternative use for it, which is working with a computer. Thanks to the exemplary legibility of fonts and good viewing angles of t...

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 at all over the past few years. Apart from the new operating system, refreshed remote control, and a few marketing additions, we are dealing with practically the same design we have known for years. Thanks to the nanostructure filter, the television can display better, cleaner colours than standard budget tel...

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

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

If you are looking for a specific reason to buy the Philips PUS7000, it’s really just the price. This is a model that is primarily meant to be cheap, and it accomplishes that role perfectly. It could be a decent choice for someone who is still using an old Full HD screen and wants to finally upgrade to 4K without emptying their wallet. Interestingly, even though this is a "budget model at 60 Hz", ...

Available screen sizes: 55”

Technology: LCD IPS, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q6F is a television that is difficult to evaluate through the lens of typical QLED models. We must remember that we are dealing with a budget-friendly proposal aimed at a very specific audience. If you are looking for an inexpensive device with the logo of a well-known manufacturer that simply needs to function, display multimedia, and offer classic remote control functionality with button...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense E7Q PRO is a television that clearly shows where the manufacturer has placed its priorities. It is not a model focused on impressive HDR or cinematic fireworks in a dark living room. This equipment is tailored for universal use, with a strong emphasis on gaming and everyday content streaming at a very competitive price. The biggest disappointment remains the omission of local dimming compa...
