Review Samsung DU7192 (VA) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung DU7192 is a simple and affordable television that will perform well for everyday use. Thanks to its VA panel, it stands out with good contrast. This is particularly important for evening movie watching. The black is deep, and details in dark scenes are well visible. In subdued light, it makes a really good impression. With the right adjustment of color settings, the image becomes even more...

Verdict:

Philips PUS8959, also known by other designations under the PUS89 abbreviation (depending on the sales network), is a model from the popular series The One. Its biggest distinguishing feature is the Ambilight system, which still makes a great impression. The three-sided backlighting adapts to the picture on the screen, making movies, series, or games literally extend beyond the edges of the TV. Th...

Review Philips PUS8359 (VA) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 50”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Philips PUS8359 in 50" is a straightforward television, but offers sufficient features to satisfy many consumers. Its most notable feature, which is common across the brand, is the Ambilight backlighting. At this price point, this addition is certainly valuable and may be a deciding factor for many buyers.

Review Philips PUS8079 Main photo

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

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

The Philips PUS8079 is the brand's most affordable model featuring the multicoloured Ambilight backlighting, which has a dedicated fanbase. Given its budget price, this is a significant advantage. However, with a lower budget, certain compromises are to be expected. This TV is particularly suited for those who primarily watch content during the day. The main drawback is the contrast, which for a V...

Review Philips PUS7009 (VA) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 50”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS7009 with a VA panel is a television that works best for occasional users who mainly use it for watching TV, browsing photos, or using basic apps. Thanks to the VA panel, it offers significantly better contrast and deeper blacks than the IPS version, making it a better choice for watching movies in darker rooms. Features such as ALLM, VRR, and Game Bar provide satisfying compatibility w...

Review Panasonic W70A Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: PANASONIC

Verdict:

The Panasonic W70A primarily draws attention with its extensive Google TV operating system, which gives us access to a myriad of popular applications (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.). When it comes to the picture, the IPS matrix offers wide viewing angles, so colors do not lose intensity even when you watch a movie slightly off to the side. Gamers won't be disappointed either; we have VR...

Review LG UT8100 (IPS) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG UT8100 is a model that does not try to pretend to be more than it is. Simple, functional, and well-suited for everyday use. Its biggest advantage is the WebOS system – intuitive, fast, and rich in applications. With such a backend, using Netflix or YouTube is hassle-free, and navigating the menu takes just a moment. The Magic remote adds even more convenience, as it works somewhat like a mouse ...

Review Hisense A7NQ Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense A7NQ is one of the simplest QLED TVs available on the market, which primarily attracts a very attractive price. Equipped with a VA panel, it offers solid native contrast, and the additional PFS coating (a different kind of QLED) allows you to enjoy vibrant colours, especially in older SDR content. This is a TV that is great for occasional viewers who are looking for a device with useful fe...

Review Hisense U6NQ Main photo

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U6NQ is a really interesting model from the Chinese manufacturer. It is the first MiniLED from the 2024 series and the only one with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Starting with the picture quality, the MiniLED backlight combined with the VA matrix does its job – the contrast is good, and watching movies in the evening is a pleasure. Stable HDR performance, support for Dolby Vision and HDR10...
