Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are televisions that come in for testing and at first glance seem like just another "average" model. The TCL C7K looks just that way – without grand claims of revolution, without ambitions to dethrone OLEDs. Yet after spending a few days with this model, it's hard not to conclude that it's actually a well-made product. Its greatest strengths? Very good picture quality at a reasonable price. ...

The TCL C6K is a television for those who want to combine gaming and watching films with good contrast, while not spending a fortune.

Verdict:

Samsung QN70F is quite a decent television from the mid-range segment. Its strongest point is definitely the smoothness of the picture – thanks to the 144 Hz panel, low input lag, and a plethora of gaming features, we have here a recipe for an almost perfect gaming screen. It also performs well for sports fans – the picture is fast, clear, and there are no tears. In terms of picture quality – it’s...

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...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The QN80F is the first "eighty" from Samsung to enter the series of televisions with Mini LED backlighting. And it does this very well. Although the number of dimming zones isn't particularly impressive, the quality of black levels is solid, and combined with high brightness, it allows for a very decent picture in HDR content. Additionally, there's a 144Hz panel that ensures excellent motion fluid...

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...

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 ...

Verdict:

Sony X85L is a model from 2023 that will be continued in the offering for 2024 by the Japanese manufacturer. Its greatest advantage is the Google TV system. It currently provides the largest access to applications, so we need not worry that one of our favourite applications will be missing. The intuitive interface and voice control feature using Google Assistant make daily use of the television co...

Xiaomi, well known as a giant in the smartphone market, has decided to fight for the attention of high-end technology enthusiasts by presenting a television with MiniLED backlighting.

Hisense U6NQ is really an interesting model from the Chinese manufacturer. It is the first MiniLED from the series for 2024 and the only one with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Starting with the picture quality, the MiniLED backlighting combined with the VA panel does its job – the contrast is good, and watching films in the evening is a pleasure. A stable HDR effect, support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+...
