55-inch Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 55”

Technology: LCD IPS, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: PANASONIC

Verdict:

The W92C is the first Panasonic developed in collaboration with Skyworth to reach our tests. And it’s more or less the change we expected: a little less of the old Panasonic, but also a few new elements that do it good. The biggest win is the move to Google TV. The system is fast, gives access to the apps you need and, for everyday use, convinces us more than the previous Fire TV. Combined with a ...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

Is it worth buying the TCL A400U? Yes, because it’s one of those TVs where paying extra for a higher series doesn’t always make sense. In films you get what you normally expect from a good TV: very good blacks, a strong HDR effect and a natural picture, especially after calibration. Brightness won’t be lacking during the day either, although because of the glossy panel it’s better not to position ...

7.8/10

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

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...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Frame Pro 2026 makes sense primarily when the TV is meant to look good in the living room and not be another large black slab on the wall. And here Samsung still does something that most manufacturers cannot reproduce as well. Flush mounting, interchangeable bezels, Art Mode, a matte finish and the wireless One Connect make it so that, when properly hung, The Frame Pro can actually look more l...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung R85H is, above all, a very versatile television that performs well in almost any use. You can place it in a bright living room, connect a console, watch a film or series in the evening, and use it for everyday broadcast TV, and each time you’ll get a picture of a good standard. It may not be a model that makes as strong an impression from the first minutes as Samsung’s best OLEDs, but ...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense UR8S is above all a very versatile high-end television that, in most uses, simply performs well or very well. It is not a model aimed solely at cinema, gaming or watching in a bright living room. Its greatest advantage is that it can combine all those things in a single set and it does not have any one clearly weak point. In terms of picture the UR8S has a lot to offer. Contrast is high, H...

Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

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...

8.4/10

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: XIAOMI

Verdict:

In the smaller screen sizes (55 to 75 inches) the Xiaomi S Mini 2026 makes a really good impression, provided you judge it from the outset in the context of its price. Mini LED technology does exactly what we expect from it: it delivers strong contrast and produces HDR brightness high enough that watching films feels much more dynamic than on conventional TVs in this price bracket. Add Google TV t...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG MRGB85 is a television that is best suited to gamers and users who are attached to webOS. In that respect it is hard to fault. It offers plenty of benefits for gamers thanks to a very high panel refresh rate. Add to that the smoothly operating webOS, which stands out above all for the convenient Magic Remote and a full set of features for traditional television. The problem begins when you ...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN80H is a genuinely successful mid-range television and, in our view, should be seen exactly that way. Not as a new Neo QLED flagship, but as the first model in Samsung's lineup to give a clear taste of better picture quality. Full Mini LED backlighting, high brightness and well-saturated colours mean that for someone upgrading from a standard LCD TV the difference can be substantial....
