Mini-LED’s popularity continues to rise, with major TV brands including Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense and TCL all adopting the backlight tech for their TVs. It can be found amongst some of the best TVs available and continues to evolve, with one of the latest innovations coming from Sony, whose impressive flagship 2024 TV, the Sony Bravia 9, uses an advanced backlight driver that allows for a higher mini-LED count and better backlight control.
Unfortunately, the Bravia 9 sits at the premium end of the market, and won’t find as wide an audience as other mini-LED sets. Two of the main purveyors of mini-LED, Samsung and Hisense, have released successful mini-LED TVs for years – Samsung with its Neo QLED range and Hisense with its ULED range. Both brands released highly rated sets in 2023, with the Samsung QN90C proving itself as one of the best TVs for sport and the full-featured Hisense U8K demonstrating incredible value.
