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.

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

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...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED PFS LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

The Philips MLED920 is a natural continuation of last year's PML9000 model, but it's not a repeat performance. It's clear that the manufacturer has done its homework – first and foremost, the local dimming algorithms have been improved, which last year tended to significantly degrade the viewing experience. Now, the blacks and contrast look much better, and when combined with the Dolby Vision here...

Verdict:

LG QNED93A is a television that, at first glance, appears to be a solid step forward compared to previous LCD models from this brand. On paper, we get a lot: a significantly larger number of dimming zones, a 144 Hz refresh rate for gamers, support for all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and WebOS with a new Magic remote, which still ranks among the most user-friendly operating systems. The QN...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly shows why the Neo QLED line was created in the first place. On one hand, it offers everything that a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent fluidity, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it's still an LCD, which means a technology that requires certain compromises. The only question is whether these compromises actually interfer...

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

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is a continuation of the iconic model X90L, and you can see that the manufacturer wanted to take a step forward. A greater number of dimming zones have been used, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, and the blacks deeper than those in its predecessor. The 120 Hz matrix and MotionFlow system allow you to adjust the smoothness of the picture to your personal preference...

Additionally, it has low input lag along with a full set of gaming features such as HGiG, VRR, and ALLM. The TV works just as well with a computer as it...

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

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense U8Q is a television that makes it hard not to feel that the manufacturer approached the topic with the ambition of a top student. The picture is strong, vibrant, and contrasty – as if shouting: "look, I can do more than most at this price!" And indeed, there’s something to that. The secret lies in the large number of dimming zones in Mini-LED technology. Thanks to them, HDR doesn’t end...
