55-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The U7Q PRO is a television that, after just a few minutes, sends a clear signal: "speed matters here." Hisense surprised us with how much has been packed into a device that doesn't cost a fortune. A refresh rate of 165 Hz in 4K, and even 288 Hz in Full HD – until recently, such numbers were reserved exclusively for top-tier gaming monitors. And here we have a mid-range television with almost a co...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U7Q is one of the most interesting Mini-LED televisions in its price segment, clearly demonstrating that Hisense is beginning to make a mark in the market not only through its price-to-performance ratio but also due to its increasingly refined picture quality. Let's start with what truly impresses: the contrast and black levels are at a level that not long ago was unattainable in this ...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a television unlike any other – and even though competition has emerged, it still does it best. The matte display, flush mounting with the wall, and a single thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a painting more than any other screen. The Art Store app continues to offer the best art scans on the market (even if they are subscription-based),...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

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

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The U8000F is a very basic television that may find its buyers among those looking for the cheapest Samsung 4K with Smart TV. And that is precisely its task. Thanks to the Tizen system, this model offers quite a lot in terms of smart features – the number of apps and possibilities may catch the attention of those who want a reasonably intelligent device at the lowest possible price. As for picture...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS9000 is proof that the manufacturer not only keeps a finger on the pulse but also listens attentively to its users. In the latest iteration of this popular series, there is a noticeable progress – especially compared to the previous generation that we had the opportunity to test. The use of a VA panel has brought a significant improvement in black levels, which finally presents itself a...

Available screen sizes: 42”, 48”, 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation and, in some aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's model C4. 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 greatly improves the quality of the HDR effect. Both films and series look more dynamic as a result, and bright scenes fina...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Ambilight, as this is what we need to start with, is the biggest reason why it's worth buying the PUS8500. The three-sided backlighting of the television looks fantastic, especially in the evening. It creates an atmosphere, masks contrast shortcomings, and makes watching a film simply more enjoyable. Even if the black levels aren't perfect, the native VA panel offers decent performance at high con...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense S7NQ Canvas TV is a very interesting proposition, especially for those looking for something in the style of a picture-television but do not want to spend a fortune. At first glance, it stands out primarily because the gallery mode featuring works of art is completely free – there is no subscription to pay, as is the case with Samsung's The Frame. Moreover, in the box, we immediately g...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

At first glance, it is clear that the TCL A300 NXTVision aims to be more than just an ordinary television. It offers an image display mode that – unlike its competitors from Korea, Samsung The Frame – is completely free. Additionally, just like its rivals, it comes with freebies. In the packaging, besides the television, we find extra frames mimicking light wood and a flat wall mount, allowing the...
