Available screen sizes: 42”, 48”, 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation, and in several aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's model C4. The biggest change is the noticeably higher brightness – for the first time in the history of the C series, the barrier of 1000 nits has been surpassed, which significantly improves the quality of the HDR effect. Both movies and shows look more dynamic because of this, and bright ...

Verdict:

The Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED televisions. Here we have an organic matrix that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how hard LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F displays its class here without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly br...

Verdict:

The Samsung S90D TV in its smallest variant is a model that excels in many respects. It performs impressively in displaying details in dark scenes, enhancing the experience of watching demanding productions. However, the 48-inch variant has slightly lower brightness compared to larger models, and the screen features a satin finish rather than a glossy one, which can affect daytime viewing. Regardl...

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...

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...
