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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are TVs that make it to reviews and at first glance seem like just another "mediocre" model. The TCL C7K looks just like that – without big slogans about revolution, without ambitions to dethrone OLEDs. Yet after spending a few days with this model, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that it's truly a successful piece of equipment. The biggest advantages? Very good picture quality at a ...

Verdict:

The Samsung S95F is an excellent continuation and an improvement over last year's S95D model. Thanks to the QD-OLED panel, we get an image that delights from the first minutes of the viewing experience. The blacks are deep and natural, without signs of backlighting, and the brightness of the next-generation panel reaches levels that just recently seemed out of reach for OLEDs. These values are so ...

Verdict:

Samsung S85F with a QD-OLED panel can be surprising – and surprisingly positively so. Before the tests, we didn't think that in the case of televisions, which are often referred to in the context of "panel lottery," one could come across something beneficial for users. Yet, in this case, especially in the 55-inch version, it fully succeeded. The QD-OLED panel, as is fitting for organic technology,...

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E8Q is a television that clearly draws heavily from the U7Q model – and that's a good thing. After all, it is its European version, not another "diet" mutation. Just a few moments with this screen reveal that the E8Q is trying to impress. And in many ways, it really succeeds. Right off the bat – what stands out: the black is deep, the contrast is high, and the brightness exceeds the th...

Verdict:

QN80F is the first in the history of Samsung's "eighty" series to feature Mini LED backlighting. And it does this really well. Although the number of dimming zones is not overwhelming, the black level is solid, and combined with high brightness, it allows for a very decent picture in HDR content. Additionally, there's a 144 Hz panel that provides excellent motion smoothness, and the set of feature...

Verdict:

The LG G5 is a television that not only continues but also expands on what we loved about previous models in the G series.
