We didn’t hold back on the superlatives after testing Samsung’s flagship TV QE65Q9FN earlier this year. The new QLED top model can measure itself with ease against the best OLED competitors, thanks to advanced LED backlighting and “Quantum Dots”, providing scintillating contrast and colour reproduction. But this comes at a price: With a cost around …
What primarily distinguishes the new Philips 55POS9002 from the competition is the patented Ambilight that lights the back wall with the same colours you see on the TV screen. This gives a contrast-enhancing effect that can definitely boost your experience of the picture by several notches. It will be extra exciting to see how this …
LG currently has the wind in its sails. Their OLED screens are considered by many to provide the best picture quality that money can buy and with superior contrast and black levels. Several of the competitors have realized this, humbled themselves and licensed the technology from LG to use it in their own top models. …
The Samsung UE55MU7075 is a stylish TV in a very thin frame with a dark, brushed design. Samsung has thought holistically, and fitted the backside with smooth surfaces and covers to conceal the wires that lead to a separate “Mini Connect” junction box. It makes for a smooth and attractive installation. Usability and features Samsung …
While the other TV manufacturers are busy with their final adjustments, Philips has managed to get its first 2018 models shipped to the store. Philips 65OLED873 is out first, which by all indications will be the most affordable OLED TV this year. The recipe is very similar to last year’s models: OLED panel, P5 picture …
Participant number 2 from Philips is a slightly more expensive variant. The 8303 series has a more exclusive and confidence-inspiring finish than the 7363. The TV is heavier, everything seems a bit more sturdily put together, and the base in plexiglass gives an impression of luxury. Usability and features Like other Philips models, this is …
Sony has a long tradition of delivering good televisions where picture quality is important. We still fondly remember the test winner from 2017 (55XE9005), and it is these accomplishments that the newcomer XF9005 has to live up to. Usability and features Like Philips, Sony has put its trust in Android as a smart operating system. …
The Q6 Series is the most affordable of Samsung’s exclusive QLED-models. When it comes to appearance, this is definitely one of the most delectable in the test. The TV is very slim, with a barely visible frame around the screen. The back is completely smooth, with no visible cables. These are hidden behind a cover …
Philips has distinguished itself with several good TVs lately, including the 65OLED763, which has set the bar in the high-end class. The model we are testing here is a more ordinary LCD display in the mid-range. It has a rather simple execution, with a slightly thicker plastic hull than the other test participants. No attempt …
LG 65SK7900 has a rather simple design. It lacks a bit of the exclusive performance one gets with LG’s OLED models, as well as the more expensive SK8500. Having said that, the construction quality is quite good. One thing to note is that the two feet can only be fitted to the furthest ends. Thus, …
The new Panasonic FX700 series is among Panasonic’s cheaper models, but the appearance is slightly deceiving: The TV seems more expensive than the price would suggest. It actually looks a bit exclusive with its tight and sleek workmanship. The frame is in brushed metal and the back is smooth with connections hidden behind the covers. …
65UK6950 is a midrange model in the LG’s 2018 series. In terms of design, this is a slim TV with a silver grey frame with a brushed finish. Some of the contacts are sideways, while others face backward. The lower part of the TV is somewhat thicker than the upper part, and sticks out more. …
The SK8500 series is one of LG’s top models for 2018. The sleek design can definitely be reminiscent of the OLED screens from the same class. 65SK8500 has a smooth back with recessed connections, which also makes it easy to wall mount. It has considerably more beautiful construction quality and finish than the SK7900. Usability …
