Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C6 is a very successful evolution of one of the most popular OLEDs on the market. The TV itself hasn't changed radically compared with last year's C5, the look is very similar, webOS offers comparable features, and gamers once again get pretty much everything you can expect from a modern television. You can't really complain, since the C5 was already a very complete piece of kit in that regard....

Verdict:

The Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a superb impression. The combination of an OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity gives a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what we expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections in bright sunlight stop being a major problem, and thanks to the presence of...

Verdict:

Philips OLED820 is a very successful and significant step forward compared to last year's model, the OLED 819. For many people, the main reason for purchase will, of course, be Ambilight: the multi-coloured lighting system that distinguishes Philips televisions from the competition. It's not hard to see why, as it made a huge impression on us as well. It's not just an impressive gadget, but a real...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation and, in some aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's model C4. The biggest change is the significantly higher brightness – for the first time in the history of the C series, the barrier of 1000 nits has been exceeded, which greatly improves the quality of the HDR effect. Both films and series look more dynamic as a result, and bright scenes fina...

LG C4 is a television that, in its price range, will likely have no competition for many users. Thanks to its extensive capabilities, it will appeal to those looking for a television not only for films and series but also for gaming. The advanced WebOS system and a remote control that functions like a mouse will certainly be a significant convenience in everyday use, making it likely that we will ...
