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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED Super QLED (SQD)

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL C7L is an incredibly successful Mini-LED television and a fully deserved successor to the hit model C7K. The list of advantages of this device is truly long. At the top is the extremely high brightness of the panel. Thanks to this, the television effortlessly handles brightly lit living rooms, offering an exceptional and dynamic picture in HDR format. Huge praise is also due for the use of...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U7S Pro is, without a doubt, a successful model, but built for specific tasks. Its absolute domain is bright, sunlit living rooms. Thanks to its massive brightness (over 2200 nits in HDR) and matte panel, during the day you can count on a comfortable picture, without squinting or fighting reflections. This great daytime form goes hand in hand with rich features. You get excellent upscaling...

7.8/10

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD IPS, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: DREAME

Verdict:

Dreame S100 is a successful, albeit still somewhat raw, debut in the Mini-LED segment. The hardware of the TV stands up for itself: the Mini-LED technology with local dimming provides deep and attractive blacks for the average viewer, while the IPS/ADS matrix offers brilliant viewing angles. This is an interesting combination, as it is extremely rare in the LCD TV segment, which will certainly ple...

Available screen sizes: 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The iFFALCON U85X is a device that draws heavily from the technological solutions of its parent brand, TCL. It is hard not to get the impression that in terms of pure technical parameters, we are dealing with nearly a faithful copy of the successful C6K series (C69K/Q6C), although visually, the designers opted for references to the more budget-friendly P line. This specific combination makes the t...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: SHARP

Verdict:

Sharp JP7765 is another offering in the market that tries to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The low price is matched with an exceptionally high brightness — a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that simply impresses in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn’t always manage backlighting perfectly in demanding scenes, support for Dolby Vision eff...

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

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: BLAUPUNKT

Verdict:

Blaupunkt UGC5500S is a textbook example of a very inexpensive television that primarily has two huge advantages: the Google TV system and an extremely low price. It is these two elements that make it an enticing option for many people. During testing, we also found other fantastic uses for it, such as working with a computer. Thanks to the exemplary readability of fonts and good viewing angles of...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG NANO81A is essentially a continuation of the NanoCell series, which has hardly changed over the past few years. Aside from a new operating system, a refreshed remote, and a few marketing additions, we are dealing with practically the same design that we have known for years. Thanks to the nanofilter, the TV is capable of displaying better, cleaner colors than standard budget TVs, and the IPS pa...

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

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

If you are looking for a specific reason to buy the Philips PUS7000, it is essentially just the price. This model is meant to be primarily inexpensive, and it fulfills that role perfectly. It could be a decent choice for someone who is still using an old Full HD screen and wants to finally switch to 4K without emptying their wallet. Interestingly, even though this is a "budget 60 Hz" model, Philip...

Available screen sizes: 55”

Technology: LCD IPS, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung Q6F is a television that is difficult to evaluate through the lens of typical QLED models. We must remember that we are dealing with a budget proposition aimed at a very specific audience. If you are looking for an inexpensive device with the logo of a well-known manufacturer that simply needs to work, display multimedia, and offer classic remote control operation with buttons – the Q6...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E7Q PRO is a television that clearly shows where the manufacturer has set its priorities. It is not a model focused on impressive HDR or cinematic fireworks in a dark living room. This is equipment tailored for universal use, with a strong emphasis on gaming and everyday streaming content viewing at a very attractive price. The biggest disappointment remains the abandonment of local di...
