Available screen sizes: 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U7S is the latest iteration of the U7 series, whose biggest advantage remains its price-to-quality ratio. You get a Mini LED TV with local dimming, which really improves black levels and gives the picture depth for evening viewing. During the day, the generous brightness headroom is useful, so you don't have to immediately cover the windows. It's not a device without compromises, but as an...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 7 II is a TV that shows RGB Mini-LED doesn’t have to be reserved only for the wealthiest customers. And although in a few places you can see it sits below the Bravia 9 II, in everyday use it doesn’t feel like a heavily stripped-down model. The biggest contribution comes from the combination of very good black levels, high brightness and Sony’s excellent algorithms. As a result the pict...

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...

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...

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...

It's this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for viewing in sunny living room...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are TVs that come in for testing and you immediately think: "oh, another average one, probably like many others." And in fact… that's true. The TCL C7K doesn't try to dethrone the OLEDs, it doesn't shout from the box "revolution!". And yet, after a few days of testing, it's hard not to think: "wow, this is really good equipment." And that's exactly what the C7K is. The biggest asset of the C...

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...
