Top 3 picks

Hisense U7N (2026 Series)
Why we picked this
Best Overall: This is the best balance of movie-friendly contrast, brightness, and modern gaming-ready hardware within budget, so it feels more premium than the cheaper QLED set without jumping into higher price tiers. Mini-LED backlighting should deliver noticeably better HDR impact and black levels for films.

TCL Q652G QLED
Why we picked this
Best Value: The cheapest option that still gives you a 4K QLED panel and Dolby Vision for movies, making it a strong entry point for film watching in a small-to-medium room. It is less refined than the Mini-LED picks, but it keeps the essentials without stretching the budget.

TCL QM752G QD-Mini LED
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: This is the most advanced movie-focused option in the budget window, with QD-Mini LED technology that should provide the strongest HDR punch and colour volume of the three. It is the best choice if you want the most cinematic picture and can use the extra headroom over the other two.
