The TCL P7L is a successful budget TV that shows you can get more than just a basic screen for not much money. It doesn't match pricier Mini LEDs or OLEDs, but in its class it has a lot to offer. The VA panel delivers decent black levels and contrast, so during evening viewing the picture doesn't look as flat as on many cheap IPS models. Colors also perform well after calibration. For watching mov...

The idea behind The One series has remained practically unchanged for years, and with the Philips PQS9001 this is both an advantage and its biggest weakness. Once again, we get a versatile mid-range TV whose main distinguishing feature is Ambilight. The lighting that follows what is happening on the screen can completely change the atmosphere of an evening movie session, and for many people it wil...

Sony Bravia 2 II is a TV that performs best in simple, everyday use. And we suspect many people will choose it mainly because of Google TV. The system provides access to a huge number of apps and streaming services, and you also get Chromecast, AirPlay and convenient voice search. The TV itself may not run as fast as pricier Sony models, but in terms of capabilities there’s little to complain abou...

The M80H shows its strengths where motion matters most. A fast panel, a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, and relatively low motion blur make sports and fast-paced games look really good. In this respect the TV can even beat some significantly more expensive Samsung LCD models. Gamers also get low input lag, three full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, and Game Motion Plus, which can improve the smoothness of...

The Sony Bravia 3 II is a TV that quickly reveals what the manufacturer had in mind for this model. It's meant above all to be a sensible Bravia for gaming, and in that respect the changes are substantial. After all, Sony fixed one of the biggest complaints about its TVs: having only two full HDMI 2.1 ports. Here there are four, and that alone makes the Bravia 3 II a much more convenient choice fo...

Philips PUS9010 (The One 2025) in the 75-inch version with an IPS panel is a television that clearly shows the differences resulting from the applied panel. Compared to the variant with a VA panel, it offers significantly better viewing angles, very good compatibility with consoles, and excellent text readability, but at the same time, it loses in terms of black levels and maximum brightness. This...

Blaupunkt UGC5500S is a textbook example of a very inexpensive television that primarily has two huge advantages: the Google TV system and an extremely low price. It is these two elements that make it an enticing option for many people. During testing, we also found other fantastic uses for it, such as working with a computer. Thanks to the exemplary readability of fonts and good viewing angles of...

LG NANO81A is essentially a continuation of the NanoCell series, which has hardly changed over the past few years. Aside from a new operating system, a refreshed remote, and a few marketing additions, we are dealing with practically the same design that we have known for years. Thanks to the nanofilter, the TV is capable of displaying better, cleaner colors than standard budget TVs, and the IPS pa...

If you are looking for a specific reason to buy the Philips PUS7000, it is essentially just the price. This model is meant to be primarily inexpensive, and it fulfills that role perfectly. It could be a decent choice for someone who is still using an old Full HD screen and wants to finally switch to 4K without emptying their wallet. Interestingly, even though this is a "budget 60 Hz" model, Philip...
