I'm a TV reviewer — here are 5 amazing Mini-LED TV deals you don't want to miss
What Mini-LED TVs offer over OLEDs is cheaper prices at higher configurations. Who doesn't want a new 98-inch Mini-LED TV for less than $2,000? Models like the Panasonic W95A and TCL QM7K Mini-LED TVs give you that big screen kick without the exorbitant price tag.
Below I've listed my favorite Mini-LEDs in terms of general pricing and performance, but there's no real order to the list. In fact, the Sony Bravia 9 is probably one of the best TVs you can buy bar none, but I personally recommend the Hisense U8QG for its current sticker price of just under $1,000.
So far, the Hisense U8QG has proven its mettle as one of the best Mini-LED TVs for under $1,000 in 2025. I reviewed the Hisense U8QG earlier this year and loved its slew of gaming features, especially its higher 165Hz refresh rate. It's also a unicorn in terms of its speaker configuration, offering one of the most bombastic sound systems I've tested on a TV this year.
It's mostly held back by its minimal glare mitigation and blooming, which is easy to look past when you're paying just under $1,000 for a 65-inch TV released in 2025. You'll also have to contend with just three HDMI 2.1 ports, but if you're a PC gamer you'll love the USB-C connection.
It's not everyday you see a brand new 2025 model getting a major discount on the heels of its release, but the U8QG is an icon in this regard (and many more). It's bound to be among our favorite gaming TVs this year thanks to its slew of gaming features and its 165Hz refresh rate.

The TCL QM7K is yet another Mini-LED that benefits from budget pricing. Like most Mini-LED TVs on this list, you'll find it comes resplendent with tons of luminance, which we tested at 1,734 nits in HDR. It's also equipped with a low Delta-E of just 1.4 (the lower the better), making it incredibly color-accurate.
Like the Hisense U8QG, we also gave the TCL QM7K four stars in our official review. It struggles at handling off-angled viewing and is built with a middling speaker system, but that's nothing one of the best soundbars can't fix.

Take Filmmaker mode out for a test drive on the all-new TCL QM7K, the brand's budget-friendly, mid-range Mini-LED TV for 2025. The QM7K cracks an impressive 1,700 nits of brightness in HDR, pairing these searing highlights with impressive backlight control. When you're done with movie night, switch over to the QM7K's dedicated game mode for smooth gameplay up to 4K/144Hz.

The Panasonic W95A Mini-LED TV was an exciting model to test and review last year, coming from a renowned TV maker that only just returned to the US market after an eight-year hiatus.
While it has superb color accuracy, HDR performance, and anti-glare mitigation, the biggest downside was its price: The W95A launched at $3,000 last year, making it no match against similarly-specced TVs from TCL and Hisense.
Since release, its price has dropped dramatically and you'd be hard-pressed to find as good a screen at such a low price.
The only major issue is its Fire TV smart platform. This is an easy fix, though, as you can easily replace the interface using one of the best streaming devices.
The Panasonic W95A is a real looker. It leverages a 144Hz refresh rate on a design that features two HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync compatibility. It also comes equipped with the range of HDR certifications and it even has an ATSC 3.0 tuner so you're NextGenTV ready.
55" @ $46975" @ $797
One of the things that sets the Sony Bravia 9 apart from other Mini-LED TVs is its picture quality, which we noted as being "(almost) as good as an OLED" in our Bravia 9 review. This is owed largely to its serious color accuracy and high brightness metrics.
We measured its HDR performance at 2,713 nits, which is the ultimate sweet spot. Most HDR content is mastered between 1,000 and 4,000 nits, which means the Bravia 9 will net you the best possible detail when streaming or viewing HDR content.
Still, while it might be one of the best screens in terms of picture performance, its high asking price of $2,798 might make you wince. It's also not the best gaming display, given its high input latency of 17ms in tandem with just two HDMI 2.1 ports.
If you're ready to splash out on a truly special TV, the Bravia 9 is worth the cost. It's one of the brightest TVs we've tested this year, making it a great pick for folks who watch their fair share of daytime sports. While not as robust a gaming TV, you're still getting a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 4K gaming at 120Hz.
75" @ $2,99885" @ $4,498
Let's face it, 8K TVs are all but dead in 2025. One of the only companies still making them is Samsung and its QN900D from last year still remains the highest-rated 8K models we've ever tested. That's because, while totally expensive, it sports one of the best upscaling engines in the market.
In our review of the Samsung QN900D 8K TV, we gave it a perfect score. That's very rare, especially for a Mini-LED TV, which can have all kinds of issues from improper glare mitigation to poor off-axis viewing. The QN900D shows none of that, offering outstanding brightness in tandem with an incredible sound system.
The big setback for Samsung displays, not just the QN900D, is the absence of Dolby Vision. If you're willing to look past that and live with HDR10+ as your main source for all things HDR, the QN900D will serve as the ultimate viewing experience.
Last year's Samsung QN900D is a stellar 8K model. It's equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, built on one of the most sophisticated 8K upscaling AI processors in the NQ8 Gen3. Plus, the QN900D even has a well-rounded speaker system with 3D surround sound that's made better with Samsung's Clear Dialogue that enhances audio for a richer, more immersive experience.

Your Hisense TV isn't showing sports at its best — here's 7 ways to fix it
Your Hisense TV has incredible potential for watching sports, but if you're using the default settings, you're probably not getting the best experience possible. Blurry motion during fast plays, washed-out colors on the field, and commentary that gets drowned out by crowd noise can all diminish those crucial game-changing moments. With weekly NFL games, the Premier League and another NBA season just around the corner, now's the perfect time to get your TV settings sports-viewing ready. Hisense TVs come packed with AI-powered features specifically designed for sports, but many of these aren't enabled by default. Here are seven ways to unlock your TV's full potential and make every game look its best. The successor to our 2024 TV of the Year and current best under $1000 TV, the Hisense U8QG is a Mini-LED marvel with incredible brightness and color saturation. I love its Google TV smart platform and its sticker price of $997 on Amazon. Hisense TVs have a dedicated sports mode that automatically optimizes picture quality for fast-paced action, but it's often disabled by default. Look for "AI Sports Mode" in your picture settings and turn it on. This feature uses AI algorithms to analyze sporting movement in real-time, automatically optimizing your picture for fast-paced action like NFL games or NBA basketball. The AI adjusts sharpness, reduces noise, and smooths transitions so you won't miss crucial plays during high-speed action sequences. Once enabled, you'll notice clearer player movements and sharper details during games. Motion blur is one of the biggest issues when watching sports on any TV, making fast plays look smeared and difficult to follow. Navigate to your motion settings and enable AI Smooth Motion, Motion Smoothing or MEMC, and set these to medium. This prevents blurry visuals during fast plays without creating the artificial "soap opera effect" that makes sports look unnatural. Start with medium settings and adjust based on preference — you want smooth motion while maintaining the natural feel of live sports, especially important for rapid movement in hockey, tennis, or basketball. Some Hisense TVs come with oversaturated color presets that make sports broadcasts look artificial and unnatural. Set your color setting to 60-70% for naturally vibrant colors and choose Standard or Cinema mode instead of Vivid. This gives you realistic team uniforms and playing field colors without oversaturation. QLED technology in Hisense TVs excels at displaying rich colors, so you'll see accurate deep greens of football fields and bright team jersey colors during prime time games. Poor contrast and brightness settings can make it hard to distinguish players in different lighting conditions, especially during outdoor games. Adjust contrast to 80-90% and brightness to around 50% for LED TVs (slightly lower for OLED models). Also, enable Dynamic Contrast but keep it on Low or Medium to prevent distracting brightness shifts during broadcasts. These settings help you clearly see jersey numbers and track player movements even when cameras pan from bright field areas to darker sidelines. Stadium crowds can often drown out commentary, making it difficult to follow play-by-play analysis and important game information. Turn on AI Clear Voice in your audio settings to hear commentators clearly over crowd noise. This feature uses machine learning to isolate and amplify speech, automatically raising commentary above background stadium noise. You'll never miss important play-by-play analysis or referee explanations during crucial moments, especially useful during loud playoff games where crowd noise can be overwhelming. Audio is just as important as picture quality for creating an immersive sports viewing experience that makes you feel like you're in the stadium. Enable Dolby Atmos in your audio settings for immersive sound and make sure any built-in subwoofer is enabled. You'll hear everything from cleats on turf to explosive crowd roars, with bass that makes every tackle and celebration more impactful. Refresh rate settings determine how smoothly motion appears on screen, and the wrong settings can make fast sports action look choppy or unnatural. Set your TV to 100Hz or higher if available and enable Auto Motion Plus, MotionFlow or TruMotion set to Clear or Standard. Higher refresh rates provide ultra-fluid motion essential for fast-moving sports while avoiding over-processing. These settings prevent motion judder that can make it difficult to track a football in flight or follow basketball.

This is the affordable TV I keep recommending to gamers — and so far no one is disappointed
Being a gamer on a budget can be tough. If you spend too little on a TV, you'll probably end up missing out on key gaming features. But it's easy to get carried away and spend too much — especially if you don't need the bells and whistles that come with a high-end TV. That's where I come in. I spend all year testing, reviewing and playing video games on everything from dirt-cheap sets to the best TVs money can buy. I've packed my brain so full of TV minutiae that I'm the first person anyone in my immediate circle turns to when they need TV-buying advice. This year, I've had five separate people approach me with the same criteria: I want enough gaming features to make the most of modern games, but I don't want to spend recklessly. In each of these cases, the answer was the same: the TCL QM7K Mini-LED TV. The TCL QM7K is a mid-range Mini-LED TV that collects many of the most-valuable specs of a higher-end TV, but comes in at a price that most people can justify when shopping for a new 4K TV. It's bright enough to stand up in sunny rooms, comes with Google TV baked right in and delivers nearly every gaming-related feature a console gamer could ask for in 2025. If the 55-inch version is too small, check out the 65-inch QM7K, on sale for $997 at Amazon. Right now, the 55-inch TCL QM7K is just $699 at Best Buy, which is a whopping $600 off its debut price. The 65-inch version of the QM7K is just $997 at Amazon — another big discount. While these recent price cuts have certainly helped to propel the QM7K to the top of my list of recommended TVs, it's the QM7K's performance, feature set and overall value that keep its name on my lips when chatting with friends, family and readers. Allow me to explain. Before we get into its gaming prowess, let's talk about its design. Entry-level TVs typically leverage standard-sized LED backlights. Cheaper models often settle for edge-lit displays, which I find to be a massive bummer. The TCL QM7K uses Mini-LEDs — smaller-sized LEDs that typically offer brighter highlights, better backlight control and superior contrast overall. With the help of its Mini-LED display, the QM7K gets much, much brighter than these aforementioned entry-level LED TVs: According to the tests we conducted for our TCL QM7K review, this set reaches over 1,700 nits of HDR highlight brightness. For context, the entry-level TCL QM6K — a more affordable model — tops out at around 700 nits. Gamers stand to wring even more value out of the QM7K, as it's laser-focused on making the most out of the Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro. But gamers stand to wring even more value out of the QM7K, as it's laser-focused on making the most of the Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro. It's equipped with a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K gaming up to 144Hz. Crucially, neither of these HDMI 2.1-compatible ports overlap with the QM7K's dedicated eARC port. This means you're free to connect two consoles and one of the best soundbars for your budget. (You'd be surprised at how hard this is to find in the world of affordable TVs.) Also included are Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, both of which reduce screen-tearing, as well as TCL's Game Accelerator 240 feature, which allows for even higher framerates when gaming below a 4K resolution. I know I've spent most of this page detailing just how value-forward this TV is for dedicated gamers, but it's a great value for streaming, movie nights and sports, too. It's a jack-of-all-trades, which is incredibly rare to find at this price point. Admittedly, there's still time left in the year for an affordable gaming TV to sweep me off my feet more than the QM7K has, but so far, this is the set I'll keep recommending to gamers on a budget in 2025.

This 116-inch TV is the brightest we've ever tested — and it just went on sale
Grab your shades and get your finances in order, because Hisense just made available the brightest TV we've ever tested. It's a 116-inch beast with a brand-new display type, and it'll set you back a whopping $29,999. The announcement comes just a day after the official launch of Samsung's first Micro RGB TV — a 115-inch, $29,999 set that leverages a similar type of display technology. In other words, the competition is heating up. Originally unveiled at CES 2025, the Hisense 116UX launches alongside a slightly smaller (but still huge) 100-inch version, the Hisense 100UX, which carries a $19,999 price tag. But what makes Hisense's RGB Mini-LED technology worthy of this price tag? Among other benefits, its phenomenal brightness is at the top of the list. I recently wrote at length about the Hisense 116UX brightness levels being off the charts, but here's the basic gist: This TV packs better HDR highlight brightness than any commercially available TV we've measured to date. The 116UX RGB Mini-LED exceeds the 5,000-nit mark. While the brand's more accessible Mini-LED flagship, the Hisense U8QG, delivers close to 4,000 nits of HDR highlight brightness, the 116UX RGB Mini-LED exceeds the 5,000-nit mark. That's eye-popping brightness on a gargantuan screen. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As mentioned, Hisense's RGB Mini-LED technology brings benefits beyond bonkers brightness. Unlike traditional Mini-LED backlights, Hisense's RGB Mini-LED display tech consists of red-, green- and blue-colored LEDs. This allows for more precise color control. Testing bears this out, too. According to our measurements, the Hisense 116UX covers a remarkable 91.14% of the BT.2020 color gamut. That's the best color volume we've seen this year, surpassing the most colorful OLED we've tested, the Samsung S95F. We've not yet tested the slightly smaller-sized Hisense 100UX, but given that it leverages RGB Mini-LEDs as well, I'd have to imagine that its test results are, at the very least, in the 116UX's ballpark. Given the sky-high price point of both TVs, Hisense's new RGB Mini-LED technology is certainly not for everyone. The good news is that the next-best thing might be staring you in the face. The aforementioned Hisense U8QG is still working with the traditional blend of quantum dots and traditional Mini-LEDs, but it's the brightest TV we've tested this year in that class. It's also available in all of the most popular size options — not just 100- and 116-inches. The U8QG isn't quite as bright and colorful as a Hisense RGB Mini-LED TV, but it's still the brightest TV in its class. It also comes with the excellent Google TV smart platform, not to mention a ton of valuable gaming features. Right now, it's on sale for over $600 off. If you've got the means and you're interested in shelling out for the real deal, the Hisense 116UX is available at Best Buy for $24,999. (Hey, that's $5,000 off!) These TVs might be exorbitantly expensive for the time being, but many people — myself included — see these sets as the bridge between the TVs of today and the TVs of the future.
