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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly showcases the purpose of the Neo QLED line. On one hand, it provides everything that a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent smoothness, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it is still LCD, meaning that the technology requires certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use. In pract...

Verdict:

The Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how maturely miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and black levels, very high HDR brightness that works well for both films and games, and a matte panel that makes a huge difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for watching in sunny living room...

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

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q8F is quite a successful continuation of the Q67D model. It offers similar image quality in HDR content, and with a brightness of around 500 nits, it can create an effect that is hard to call average. The support for the HDR10+ format also helps, as it has been realistically competing with Dolby Vision for some time and delivers comparable experiences in many productions. The contrast is ...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips OLED770 is a television that stands out primarily due to the quality of its picture – the characteristic perfect black and infinite contrast typical of OLEDs make even the most ordinary evening of watching a series feel like a small cinematic experience. After calibration, the colours gain naturalness and coherence, and details in dark scenes are separated from the lights with surgical pre...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is a continuation of the iconic X90L model, and it's evident that the manufacturer aimed to take a step forward. A greater number of backlighting zones have been implemented, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, and the blacks appear deeper than its predecessor. The 120 Hz panel and MotionFlow system allow the smoothness of the image to be tailored to personal prefere...

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

QNED86A6A is a television that truly does an excellent job in its price range when it comes to sports, gaming, and everyday TV viewing. The 120 Hz panel ensures smooth images and sharp motion, which both sports fans and gamers will appreciate. It also features low input lag along with a complete set of gaming functions such as HGiG, VRR, and ALLM. The television works just as well with a computer ...

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

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung Q7F is the manufacturer's cheapest model in the QLED range, and it must be said that several advantages can be easily identified here. After calibration, the colours look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the hues more saturated than in typical budget LCD televisions. Additionally, it features a VA panel that offers quite decent native contrast. It is certainly not at t...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips OLED910 is one of the candidates for the title of TV of the Year 2025 – and we say this with full conviction. Thanks to the META panel used, specifically the Tandem OLED produced by LG Display, we get top-notch brightness that has not been seen in WOLED televisions before. Combined with perfect contrast, this provides unmatched experiences for evening viewing, which are difficult to find e...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

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 purchase will, of course, be Ambilight: the multi-coloured lighting system that distinguishes Philips televisions from the competition. It's not hard to see why, as it made a huge impression on us as well. It's not just an impressive gadget, but a real...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U8Q is a television that makes it hard not to feel that the manufacturer approached the topic with the ambition of a top student. The picture is strong, vibrant and contrasting – as if it were shouting: “look, I can do more than most in this price range!” And indeed, there is some truth to this. The secret lies in the large number of dimming zones in Mini-LED technology. Thanks to this...
