55-inch TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The U7Q PRO is a television that, after just a few minutes, gives a clear signal: "speed matters here." Hisense surprised us with how much they managed to pack into a device that doesn’t cost a fortune. A refreshing rate of 165 Hz in 4K, and even 288 Hz in Full HD – not that long ago, such numbers were reserved exclusively for top gaming monitors. And here you go, we have a mid-range television wi...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U7Q is one of the most interesting Mini-LED televisions in its price segment, clearly showing that Hisense is really starting to matter in the market not only because of the price-to-capabilities ratio but also due to its increasingly refined picture quality. Let’s start with what truly impresses: the contrast and black levels are at a level that was recently unattainable in this price...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a TV unlike any other – and even though competition has emerged for it, it still does it best. The matte screen, flush mount to the wall, and one thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a painting more than any other screen. The Art Store app still offers the best art scans on the market (even if they are on a subscription), and thanks to inte...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED televisions. Here we have an organic matrix that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how hard LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F displays its class here without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly br...

Verdict:

The U8000F is a very basic television that may find its buyers among those looking for the cheapest Samsung 4K with Smart TV. And that is exactly its purpose. Thanks to the Tizen system, this model really offers quite a lot in terms of smart features – the number of applications and possibilities may attract those who want a reasonably intelligent device at the lowest possible price. In terms of p...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS9000 is proof that the manufacturer not only keeps a finger on the pulse but also listens carefully to its users. In the latest version of this popular series, a clear progress is visible – especially compared to the previous generation that we had the opportunity to test. The use of a VA panel has resulted in a noticeable improvement in black levels, which finally present at an accepta...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation, and in several aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's model C4. The biggest change is the noticeably higher brightness – for the first time in the history of the C series, the barrier of 1000 nits has been surpassed, which significantly improves the quality of the HDR effect. Both movies and shows look more dynamic because of this, and bright ...

Verdict:

Ambilight because that's where we have to start, it's the biggest reason to buy the PUS8500. The three-sided backlighting of the TV looks great, especially in the evening. It creates an atmosphere, masks the imperfections of contrast, and makes the viewing experience simply more enjoyable. Even if the black levels aren't perfect, the native VA panel's high contrast is just fine. On top of that, th...

Verdict:

The Hisense S7NQ Canvas TV is a very interesting proposition, especially for those looking for something in the style of a picture-TV but do not want to spend a fortune. At first glance, it stands out primarily because the gallery mode featuring works of art is completely free – there is no subscription fee, unlike Samsung's The Frame. Moreover, in the box, we immediately get a light brown frame, ...

Verdict:

At first glance, it's clear that the TCL A300 NXTVision wants to be more than just an ordinary television. It offers an image display mode that – unlike its competitors from Korea, Samsung The Frame – is completely free of charge. Additionally, like its rivals, freebies are included. In the package, in addition to the television, we find extra frames imitating light wood as well as a flat wall mou...
