Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”

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...

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E7Q / E79Q is a type of television that doesn't promise miracles – and maybe that's why it can pleasantly surprise. It doesn't try to pretend to be high-end equipment; it simply does its job. If you're looking for a cheap screen for everything that can handle Netflix, a console, and morning YouTube while having coffee, this model makes a lot of sense. The VIDAA system has matured over ...

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL V6C is a television whose value lies primarily in three elements: the Google TV system, several features useful for gamers, and a very low price. It is the Google TV that is its greatest asset – it provides access to a vast library of applications, from the most popular streaming services to lesser-known programs, and also allows the use of AirPlay, screen mirroring, and voice search. For ...

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

The LG UA7500 with a VA panel is a television designed for everyday watching of television, YouTube, or streaming platforms, where SDR content continues to dominate. In this role, it performs quite well – it has decent digital image processing, satisfactory upscaling, and fairly consistent tonal transitions. Its biggest advantage remains the webOS system, full of apps and features such as USB reco...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 3 in the VA panel variant is a television that remains the same budget model in character, but the change in panel type makes watching movies and series much more enjoyable. Higher contrast and deeper blacks finally allow for viewing in the evening without the impression that the screen is drowning in shades of gray. This is a significant advantage over the IPS version, even if it come...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: XIAOMI

Verdict:

Xiaomi A Pro 2026 is a television that at first glance doesn’t reveal significant changes compared to its predecessor. Someone might even think it's just a copy of last year's model with a different sticker. And there’s some truth to that, as the main novelty, or rather the only clear difference, is the 120 Hz mode at lower resolutions. It must be acknowledged that this addition really does make a...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q8F is quite a successful continuation of the Q67D model. It offers similar picture quality in HDR content, and with a brightness of around 500 nits, it can create an effect that is hard to call average. It is also aided by support for the HDR10+ format, which has been realistically competing with Dolby Vision for some time and provides comparable experiences in many productions. The contr...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung Q7F is the cheapest model from the manufacturer’s QLED line, and it must be admitted that several advantages can be easily pointed out here. After calibration, the colors look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the hues more saturated than in typical budget LCD TVs. In addition, it has a VA panel, which offers quite decent native contrast. It is definitely not on the lev...

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung U8000F with a VA panel is a television that can pleasantly surprise in its class – of course, if we know what to expect from it. Its biggest advantage is definitely the black quality. Compared to the version with an IPS panel, the difference is enormous – the picture gains depth, the contrast looks much better, and evening movie sessions no longer feel like watching content through a gray ...

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...
