85-inch QLED / LCD TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

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...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

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...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

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...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

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...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

The Hisense E7Q PRO is a television that clearly shows where the manufacturer has set its priorities. It is not a model focused on impressive HDR or cinematic fireworks in a dark living room. This is equipment tailored for universal use, with a strong emphasis on gaming and everyday streaming content viewing at a very attractive price. The biggest disappointment remains the abandonment of local di...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: HAIER

Verdict:

The Haier Q80FUX TV is one of the most schizophrenic proposals we've had in our editorial office for a long time. On one hand, we have a solid piece of equipment: a VA panel that guarantees deep blacks, as expected in this segment, and a QLED quantum filter that can indeed generate juicy, eye-catching colors. This is the foundation on which a truly competitive mid-range receiver could have been bu...

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...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

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 ...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

TCL P8K is a television that immediately wins you over. It seems cheap, supposedly of lower quality, yet it can surprise you. This device shows that at this price, you can still get equipment with character – and it's specifically aimed at a certain group of users. Because let's be honest, the P8K is a television created with gamers in mind. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR support, 4K at 120 Hz, HGiG, and...
