How many Piqelo profiles have professional tests and owner evidence?

The October 3 catalog and offer figures below remain an unchanged historical snapshot. A separate October 20 study examines 415 current US research configurations and transparently measures attached independent professional and owner-review sources, rather than retailer coverage.

40.7%with live offers from 3+ retailers

What stands out

Retail coverage varies sharply by category

TVs have the broadest research set at 267 models, while laptops currently have the strongest three-retailer coverage: 41 of 80 configurations (51.2%). Monitor coverage is broad at the first-retailer level, but only 8 of 44 researched monitors (18.2%) currently have live verified offers from three or more retailers.

That gap is useful context for shoppers and researchers: a category can look well supplied while still having limited like-for-like retailer competition on exact configurations.

Model-year mix

More than half of the set is 2026 hardware

The current research set contains 220 model-year 2026 products, 153 from 2025 and 18 from 2024. Piqelo keeps exact configurations separate where a model family has materially different screen sizes, memory/storage combinations or other purchase-relevant variants.

Definitions

How the snapshot is counted

Researched productA unique Piqelo product/configuration in the active US research scope for TV, Laptop or Monitor.

Live verified offerA current USD retailer offer with a valid URL, positive price, match confidence of at least 90 and an unexpired validity window at the snapshot time. Public Amazon price quotes are not part of this dataset.

Brand countDistinct non-empty brand labels inside Piqelo's researched category set.

Limitations

What this dataset does not claim

This is a transparent snapshot of Piqelo's research coverage, not a census of every TV, laptop or monitor sold in the United States. Retail availability changes continuously, exact variants can differ by seller, and the number of retailers attached to a product is not a measure of product quality.

Piqelo Ratings, Piqelo's Choice, proprietary scenario calculations and internal price-history records are not included in the download.
