Verdict:

Looking at the QNED80A in its VA version as a whole, we are dealing with a television that has a very specific character. It's a device that movie lovers who enjoy evening screenings seeking savings will like, as long as... they accept certain shortcomings. We get truly solid blacks and contrast here, but we pay for it with narrow viewing angles. Let's not hide it: this television is for those who...

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

Haier M90E is an ambitious attempt by the manufacturer to enter the higher segment of the market. "On paper," the specifications look impressive: Mini LED backlighting, a VA panel, and a refresh rate of 144 Hz suggest a complete piece of equipment. However, reality verifies these assumptions. We get a device with two faces: a powerful hardware base that struggles under the weight of unrefined soft...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL C6KS (also known as C69KS and Q6CS) is a television that on paper promised to be a hit in the "value for money" category. And indeed, in many ways it's a successful piece of equipment: thanks to Mini-LED backlighting, we get good black levels and brightness that rivals more expensive models. In fact, it's identical to the slightly more expensive C6K model, which we've already tested for you. A...

Verdict:

Panasonic W95B is one of those televisions that not only impresses with its specifications on paper but also delights in practice. It features a great Mini LED screen, offering excellent blacks, very high brightness, and fluid motion, which combined with refined local dimming create an image close to perfection. Most content looks simply spectacular on it, and the game mode with low latency and su...

Verdict:

Is it worth buying the Xiaomi S Pro 2026? The answer to this question is quite complicated. Let's start with what's really great about this TV. First of all, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 has an excellent price-to-performance ratio. We get a Mini LED panel with very high brightness, which handles well in a sunlit living room. Additionally, it has a fast 144 Hz (or even 288 Hz) display and a complete packa...

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...

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

The Haier Q80FUX TV is one of the most schizophrenic proposals we've had in our editorial office for a long time. On one hand, we have a solid piece of equipment: a VA panel that guarantees deep blacks, as expected in this segment, and a QLED quantum filter that can indeed generate juicy, eye-catching colors. This is the foundation on which a truly competitive mid-range receiver could have been bu...

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

The debut of the Haier brand in the European TV market with the K85F model gives the impression of being rushed, and after thorough testing, it feels almost unfinished. Analyzing this product, we come to a fundamental conclusion: its biggest problem is not the quality of the panel used. Given its price segment, this is simply average, with the typical advantages of VA technology in the form of hig...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The time has come to gather all observations. The TCL P7K / P79K is a television that cleverly juggles compromises, offering significantly more than we could expect in its price range. Its undeniable advantage is the VA panel, guaranteeing deep blacks and high contrast, and a surprisingly rich package for gamers (with VRR and 120 Hz support at lower resolutions) makes it a phenomenal choice for co...
