Mini LED TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL C69K / Q6C is a TV that perfectly targets gamers and movie fans on a reasonable budget. Its biggest strength is the combination of a VA panel with Mini-LED backlighting. Simply put, contrast is high and blacks are deep, making evening movie sessions look truly impressive. Add to that a 144 Hz refresh rate, which does wonders not only for sports but especially for gaming. And for gamers, it...

Available screen sizes: 65”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

Haier M95E is on paper a television that looks like the dream come true for any "bargain hunter". When we look at the specifications – a Mini LED panel with hundreds of zones, a powerful brightness exceeding 1500 nits, a QLED 144Hz matrix, phenomenally low input lag, and sound branded by Harman Kardon – everything screams "flagship!". We are dealing with equipment that theoretically should challen...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

The Philips MLED920 is a natural continuation of last year's model PML9000, but it is not a repetition of the past. It is clear that the manufacturer has done their homework – primarily, the local dimming algorithms have been improved, which last year could significantly ruin the viewing experience. Now, blacks and contrast look much better, and with Dolby Vision present here, even HDR content app...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG QNED93A is a television that, at first glance, appears to be a solid step forward compared to previous LCD models from this brand. On paper, we get quite a lot: a significantly larger number of dimming zones, 144 Hz refresh rate for gamers, support for all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and WebOS with a new Magic remote, which remains one of the most convenient control systems. The QN...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly showcases the purpose of the Neo QLED line. On one hand, it provides everything that a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent smoothness, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it is still LCD, meaning that the technology requires certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use. In pract...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 98”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how maturely miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and black levels, very high HDR brightness that works well for both films and games, and a matte panel that makes a huge difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for watching in sunny living room...

Rating

7.9/10

Available screen sizes: 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

QN80F is the first "eighty" from Samsung available in a 100-inch version (previously "only" 98 inches 😉) and is also the model that entered the series with Mini LED backlighting. It must be admitted that it performs really well at this scale. Although the number of dimming zones is not impressive for such a massive screen, the contrast and black levels are solid, and combined with high brightness...

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is a continuation of the iconic X90L model, and it's evident that the manufacturer aimed to take a step forward. A greater number of backlighting zones have been implemented, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, and the blacks appear deeper than its predecessor. The 120 Hz panel and MotionFlow system allow the smoothness of the image to be tailored to personal prefere...

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

QNED86A6A is a television that truly does an excellent job in its price range when it comes to sports, gaming, and everyday TV viewing. The 120 Hz panel ensures smooth images and sharp motion, which both sports fans and gamers will appreciate. It also features low input lag along with a complete set of gaming functions such as HGiG, VRR, and ALLM. The television works just as well with a computer ...

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

Technology: LCD VA (wide viewing angle), Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN990F is a television that makes a huge impression from the very first moment. It's probably one of the most attractive models on the market – ultra-slim, with an almost invisible frame and a base that gives the impression that the screen is levitating above the table. In addition, there's the futuristic Wiraless One Connect module, this time in a wireless version, which helps to redu...
