55-inch Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 32”, 43”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL A400 Pro is one of the most interesting lifestyle TVs we’ve tested so far. Not because it turns the whole idea of the “TV as a picture” on its head. In that respect it does roughly what the competition does: it’s meant to look good, blend into the room and not be just another black slab in the living room. Its real strength lies elsewhere: in picture quality. This is the first TV of this kind ...

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

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

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL C8L is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing Mini-LED televisions that has entered our laboratory this year. This model stands out primarily due to its excellent price-to-performance ratio. TCL has already accustomed us to aggressive pricing for its screens, but in the case of the C8 series, the manufacturer has managed to push the boundaries even further. For the amount that often only allow...

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 ...

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: 50”, 55”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: LG

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...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

The Haier M90E is an ambitious attempt by the manufacturer to enter the higher segment of the market. "On paper," the specifications look impressive: Mini LED backlighting, VA panel, and a 144 Hz refresh rate suggest a complete piece of equipment. However, reality verifies these assumptions. We receive a device with two faces: a powerful hardware base that suffocates under the weight of poorly dev...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

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...
