TV Tests & Reviews

Current TV individual tests at a glance

With the 2023 line-up, the Japanese manufacturer is dropping two OLED models at once from its portfolio, and thereby reducing the portfolio of self-luminous TVs by half. This makes the Sony A80L not only the flagship device based on conventional technology, but also the only new TV with a classic WOLED panel from Sony’s development pen for this year.

To find out whether the successor surpasses the good performance of the A80K, how bright the screen actually is compared to its competitors and which other special features are part of the equipment, read our detailed review.

While Samsung has also been offering OLED-based models since 2022, the LED segment remains the main sales area. Here, Samsung is once again pushing forward with several Mini-LED models and a comparatively wide range of sizes for the now third generation. The Samsung Neo QLED QN90C represents the midpoint of this segment.

In our test, we look at what distinguishes the successor to the QN90B, what the main differences are to the surrounding TVs from the Neo QLED series and where the television has its issues.

In recent years, LG has built up a more than respectable market position in the OLED TV segment. Models from this product line often score with extensive features at a comparatively good price and are therefore requested frequently.

To find out how much momentum the LG OLED evo C3 from the 2023 range has around the bend and whether the continuation of the popular C-series can also convince with real innovations, read our in-depth review of one of the most popular series of the electronics company.

Within the 2022 line-up, Samsung addressed its customers for the first time with an OLED TV. In the meantime, the South Korean manufacturer has decided to continue this mission. For that purpose, the series will not only continue with one fresh TV in 2023, but came up with two successors at the same time.

In our detailed review of the Samsung S90C QD-OLED, we show you what the smaller model of the upper mid-range has to offer, which differences exist to the larger S95C and what else you need to know.

Ambilight TVs are quite popular among buyers and justifiably impress with their great visual effects. Phillips is still the only brand that sells televisions with the colorful LED technology on the back directly out of the factory.

However, the “The One” is actually one of those TVs and is more on the lower end of the price range. However, you can check out how well the TV actually performed in our lab and whether it really makes sense for you to buy it in our full review.

Compared to older Full HD TVs, a 4K TV promises four times higher screen resolution. But is that on its own enough to satisfy today’s quality-conscious buyer? In our test lab, we demanded extensive proof of performance from the LG UQ81.

Read our detailed review to find out what the device from the 2022 lineup offered us, what it did not, and why we were partly surprised in a positive way.

LG tries to score with a technology combination of Quantum Dots and NanoCell for the QNED81 and convince potential buyers that this LED model is of high quality. Whether the electronics company from overseas succeeds impressively or misses the mark, we found out for you.

Furthermore, you can learn in this hands-on review what exactly awaits you with the QNED series’ entry-level model and in which areas the mid-range TV did not perform so well.

You demand image quality that not only looks good, but as outstanding as possible? A high color fidelity and perfect black at the same time? Then take your time and have a look at our review of the Sony A95K. In contrast to the competition, the first so-called QD OLED from the Japanese electronics manufacturer tries to convince in a different way.

In our review of the QD TV, you will learn what advantages the technology exactly offers, how the Sony device stands out and how Samsung comes into play.

If you are looking for a TV in the mid-range price range, the LG OLED B2 might be worth a look. For a comparatively low price, this TV brings an equipment package into your home that is suitable for many applications.

We will tell you in our comprehensive review which models the device from the 2022 lineup exactly belongs to and whether the B2 even comes close to the popular gaming TV from the C-series this time.

Do you need a new photo frame, but can’t make up your mind when it comes to selecting an artwork? This is exactly where LG’s OLED evo G2 could lend you a helping hand. Are you wondering how that could be done? The magic word is Gallery Design. This special feature makes the G2 stand out and lets the model appear extraordinarily slim.

You can probably imagine that this is still not everything. In our extensive review, we will show you which additional features make LG’s OLED evo G2 become the top model of LG’s OLED lineup and let it compete far up in the league of self-luminous pixels.

With the LG OLED evo C2, the manufacturer from South Korea relies on an Evo panel in the display frame – just like in the Gallery series last year. This new addition to the popular C-series promises more brilliance and improved brightness values than its predecessor.

Read our detailed review of the C2 to find out whether the current model of the 2022 lineup actually succeeds in this and which results our test lab reveals for the OLED.

The follow-up model of the Samsung Neo QLED QN95A features Quantum Matrix technology. A further development that conjures up significantly more lighting levels on the panel and ensures better peaks in brightness. The mini-LED panel with 144 hertz now features HDR10+ Adaptive as well as HDR10+ Gaming. The QN95B also has a special feature in terms of cable routing.

Our review shows whether the Samsung Neo QLED QN95B from the 2022 lineup can really convince us across the board or if you have to deal with some compromises.

The Sony X90J is probably one of the most popular TVs of 2021. This is probably due to its excellent features, which invite both gaming and movie nights in the living room. You don’t really have to do without anything with this mid-range TV. 

Sounds too good to be true? We thought so, too, which is why we took a closer look at the X90J in our test lab to see if it can really deliver as well as Sony promises. We answer the question whether you can still buy a Sony Bravia TV in 2022 or whether the wait for the new generation is worth it.

LG tries to claim the OLED throne again in 2021 with the promising successor of last year’s CX. The South Koreans hardly make any compromises in terms of the equipment package.

We have taken a closer look at the popular model from the C-series and reveal what the feature monster has to offer and whether you can buy LG’s OLED C1 with a clear conscience or rather leave it alone this time.
