I tested Sony's pricey X95L mini-LED 4K TV and sometimes it pays to spend more

Mini-LED TVs are becoming increasingly popular as they not only provide high brightness, which is effective for dealing with screen reflections in rooms with lots of light, but they are also increasingly full of useful features for watching sports, gaming, and more. As a bonus, mini-LED tech has become more affordable with the emergence of budget brands such as TCL and Hisense. 

Some of the best TVs on the market are mini-LED TVs, including sets like the Hisense U8K and Samsung QN90C. The Hisense U8K is an example of a budget alternative to mini-LED TVs from brands such as Samsung and Sony, with the price often differing in the hundreds. At the time of writing, a 55-inch Hisense U8K costs, on average, $799 / £999 / around AU$1,299 whereas a 55-inch Samsung QN90C costs $1,399 / £1,099 / around AU$2,999, which is a significant price difference.
