Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U7S is the latest iteration of the U7 series, whose biggest advantage remains its price-to-quality ratio. You get a Mini LED TV with local dimming, which really improves black levels and gives the picture depth for evening viewing. During the day, the generous brightness headroom is useful, so you don't have to immediately cover the windows. It's not a device without compromises, but as an...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 7 II is a TV that shows RGB Mini-LED doesn't have to be reserved just for the wealthiest customers. Although in some areas it's clearly positioned below the Bravia 9 II, in everyday use it doesn't feel like a severely stripped-down model. What really makes the difference is the combination of very good black levels, high brightness and Sony's excellent algorithms. As a result the p...

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...

Verdict:

Looking at the QNED80A in the VA version as a whole, we are dealing with a television that has a very specific character. It is equipment that film lovers who enjoy evening screenings will appreciate, provided they... accept certain shortcomings. We get really solid blacks and contrast here, but we pay for it with narrow viewing angles. There’s no point in hiding it: this is a television for those...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL C6KS (also known as C69KS and Q6CS) is a television that on paper promised to be a hit in the "value for money" category. Indeed, in many respects, it is a successful piece of equipment: thanks to Mini-LED backlighting, we get good blacks and brightness that competes with more expensive models. In fact, it is identical to the slightly pricier C6K model that we have already tested for you. Addi...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are televisions that come for testing, and you immediately think: “oh, just another average one, probably like many others.” And basically… that’s true. The TCL C7K doesn’t try to dethrone OLEDs, nor does it shout from the box “revolution!” Yet, after a few days of testing, it’s hard not to think: “wow, this is really good equipment.” And that’s exactly what the C7K is. The biggest asset of ...

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E8Q is a television that clearly draws heavily from the U7Q model – and very well so. After all, it is his European version, not another "slimmed down" mutation. Just moments with this screen reveal that the E8Q is putting up a fight. And in many respects, it really succeeds. To start with – what impresses: the blacks are deep, the contrast is high, and the brightness exceeds a level w...
