Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U8Q is a television that makes it hard not to feel that the manufacturer approached the topic with the ambition of a top student. The picture is strong, vibrant and contrasting – as if it were shouting: “look, I can do more than most in this price range!” And indeed, there is some truth to this. The secret lies in the large number of dimming zones in Mini-LED technology. Thanks to this...

TCL C9K is a television that on paper looks like a showcase of the manufacturer's strength – thousands of Mini-LED zones, a WHVA panel, audio system from Bang & Olufsen, full support for HDR formats, gaming at 144 Hz, and even 288 Hz at lower resolutions.

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...

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.

Additionally, there's a 144Hz panel that ensures excellent motion fluid...
