Manufacturers have managed to reduce prices on many models of their LCD television receivers, creating a fairly wide range of offers in this product segment with a budget price tag.

The promotion of liquid crystal modifications of televisions to the masses was facilitated by the fact that technologies are demonstrating an increasingly rapid pace of development. It happens that more “progressive” models begin to support those on the market, so hegemonic firms in this area of ​​​​production are forced to reduce the cost of their previous developments. This is very good for the consumer, but there is one significant drawback in this: you can buy an LCD TV today, which tomorrow will look like yesterday in terms of manufacturability against the backdrop of new offers from the same manufacturer.

Hello from yesterday

Pictured is LED TV Supra STV-LC32552WL


To prevent such an incident from happening, we strongly advise you not to buy currently outdated designs of such television devices, even if their cost is very captivating. For example, let’s take a 32-inch TV Supra STV-LC32552WL, sold in Ukraine at a price of 3348?3600 UAH, and in Russia - 7500?9340 RUR. This LCD TV has a resolution of 1366 x 768, which is certainly not very high. In addition, it offers HDTV support, stereo sound, dynamic screen contrast of 80,000, brightness of 250 cd/m², viewing angle of 160 degrees and pixel response time of 8 ms. You can connect a USB drive to it, and the TV itself supports MP3, WMA, JPEG, MKV formats, but cannot read the most popular AVI format among ordinary people.

The main drawback of this model is not the lack of 3D support or the presence of Smart TV in the package. It would be too naive to expect this from such a cheap receiver. But it lacks the ability to receive DVB-T2 digital television, which automatically makes it an outdated product in terms of manufacturability. Of course, if the task is to choose an inexpensive LCD TV for, say, the kitchen, where it is viewed while preparing food and therefore you can sacrifice image quality and functionality, then such a device will do just fine. Unfortunately, it is no longer suitable for use as the main multimedia entertainment center for family members.

Leaders in TV sales on the Internet: TOP-3

If you look at the sales results of the most popular online stores in Russia and Ukraine, you can identify several of the most popular models of LCD television receivers. It is immediately obvious that the most popular among today's buyers are LCD TVs with a screen diagonal of 42". In second place in popularity is the size of 55 inches, but huge and very expensive panels are not sold out so actively, because such a bulky device requires the presence of sufficiently spacious rooms in the house or apartment.

Model Sony KDL-42W705B: Japanese quality in the mid-price category


The size of this TV is quite impressive, which makes it possible to use it as the main source of entertainment when installed in the living room. A screen diagonal of 42 inches is a whole meter and seven centimeters according to our metric system! The panel itself without a stand has the following dimensions: width - 958 mm, height - 563 mm and depth - 64 mm. Screen resolution 1920x1080. LED lighting is used. This device has many technical bells and whistles, ranging from support for DVB-T2 digital television to Internet access for receiving Smart TV. The user can record video from the broadcast and use MP3, WMA, MPEG4, Xvid, MKV and JPEG files from USB drives for viewing. The owner will be pleased with the surround sound from the built-in speakers and multi-screen. The viewing angle of the screen is 178°.


The Sony KDL42W705B TV is perfect for fans of movies, TV series and computer games. The screen's color rendition and contrast ratio of 1,000,000 to 1 allow you to display any content in very high quality. Fans of action films will be especially pleased that the TV’s software arsenal includes Motionflow XR 200 Hz technology, which smoothes out any, even the highest-speed, picture changes. The sound is made with high-quality Bass Reflex, and Dolby Digital decoders are responsible for the realism of the sound. Access to the World Wide Web can be obtained both through a wire and using a Wi-Fi connection. The TV is very good, so its position as a sales leader in its class is understandable in 2014 and 2015 inclusive. Although he will continue to compete well in 2016.

Cost of Sony TV KDL42W705B:

  • in Ukraine ranges from 8,348 to 9,947 UAH;
  • in the Russian Federation its price ranges from 23 thousand to 27,500 rubles.

Samsung UE40F8000 TV - a wide range of functions


In second place in sales in online stores in the post-Soviet space is the Samsung UE40F8000 TV, which is an ultra-thin model. It has a 40-inch widescreen screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The device supports 3D technology and the now very popular Smart TV. The designers equipped the TV with directional microphones and an HD camera built into the body, which will really appeal to those who like to chat on Skype. Fans of high-quality sound will appreciate powerful speakers that support 3D Sound technology. The Samsung UE40F8000 TV allows you to play files using a USB media player. In fact, this model of LCD TV can be considered a full-fledged entertainment computer, because many different functions and programs are available to the user. Among them are converting 2D images into 3D, a facial recognition program, and sending commands to the TV using voice or gestures. The set includes as many as 4 pairs of special shutter 3D glasses.

  • in Ukraine 12,398 - 16,065 UAH;
  • price in Russia 38,252 - 60,000 rubles. (you can buy it for 45-46 thousand rubles).

Model LG 42LA660V - a good 3D Smart TV


The “bronze” winner of our rating is a Korean 42-inch LCD TV with a FullHD screen that has a frame refresh rate of 400 Hz. LED backlighting, the acoustics are equipped with a pair of stereo speakers and a subwoofer, adding depth to the “bass” sound. The LV 42LA660V model is equipped with two TV tuners that allow you to receive almost all modern television signal standards. The Internet can be connected via Wi-Fi or using the Wi-Di standard. The designers equipped the TV with three USB ports, which allows you to actively use it to watch various video files. For 3D movie lovers, the set includes 4 pairs of polarized stereo glasses.


LG 42LA660V TV price:
  • in Ukraine 8,400 - 10,629 UAH;
  • cost in Russia 24,999 - 27,990 rubles.
Video review of LG 42LA660V LED TV:

Given that the market currently has various models of TVs with screen diagonals from 32 to over 100 inches, choosing a device that suits your budget and available space is not an easy task. If you're getting ready to watch a Super Cup game, it might be better to buy something bigger and flashier. If you are a fan of Criterion Collection films, then completely different parameters are important here. When comparing different characteristics, it is quite difficult to decide which model is the best. Each device belonging to the HDTV category has its own advantages and compromises. Here we've rounded up the best models, from affordable 32-inch TVs to the latest OLED models.

Prices are falling rapidly as sellers try to get rid of old stock - and this, in particular, applies to all televisions. However, many of last year's models are good for the present time. For the most part, the obvious changes that can be seen in 2015 have only affected high-end TVs. Buying a regular HDTV device at the year-end sale can be very, very profitable. And if you like some Ultra HD TV, you can purchase it at a price half that of what it was at the beginning of 2014.

The best 32-inch TV in terms of price/quality ratio

We were pleased to see that Vizio has done the work with its TV lineup that is often neglected by other manufacturers. The 322i-B1 has been spruced up just like the other big models in Vizio's line, with cutting-edge features like a full-array LED backlight (for enhanced contrast) and one of the clearest, most intuitive interfaces we've seen in a smart TV device. The kit also includes a great remote control, which has a QWERTY keyboard on the back, making it easy to enter profile passwords and search through video streaming apps. Color reproduction (when calibrated mode is selected) is pleasant and accurate, and image detail on the 1080p screen is quite clear. I wish the black levels were deeper here, but this problem is only noticeable when watching certain content (for example, the movie "Gravity"). For the most part, the M322i-B1 is amazing, especially considering its price tag is around $300.

Price: $ 296

Our assessment: 8/10

Best 32-inch TV for picture quality

Video buffs living in small apartments will appreciate the UN32H5500. In our laboratory tests (in Cinema mode), it performed almost perfectly. The same level of quality was noted when testing in a normal environment - the device showed greater transmission accuracy and excellent shadow detail.
Its 1080p screen also produces clear images. Perhaps based on the experience of other companies like Vizio, Samsung has developed an improved smart TV interface that is very easy to use.
So what's the catch? For better performance you'll have to pay $100 more.

Best 40-inch TV/Best Smart TV

New TV sizes are popping up as manufacturers try to differentiate their models, and the winner in the 40-inch category is the 40H4C. Hisense may not be a household name in the United States, but Chinese TV is still going strong with the launch of a new line of smart TVs created in collaboration with digital TV receiver maker Roku.

The 40H4C's interface is superior to other competitors due to the use of a simple but attractive design without ostentation or complexity. It is able to recognize the mix of content that viewers are currently watching. We easily switched from cable TV to Blu-ray player, Netflix, Hulu Plus (even though Roku has about 2,000 channels) and other sources.

On top of that, the Hisense 40H4C delivers amazing picture quality with pleasing color reproduction, rich hues, impressive shadow detail and smooth motion, despite only having a 60Hz refresh rate.

Price: $ 350

Our assessment: 9/10

Best 50-inch TV/Best Mid-Size TV

The $600 TC-55AS530U gives you great big-screen performance without breaking the bank. Colors are natural and accurate across nearly all content (if you switch to movie mode), although yellows and reds can be a bit weak at times. Black levels are incredibly good, even compared to more expensive TVs with more advanced technology. Movies play back smoothly thanks to the TC-55AS530U's efficient 1080p/24 mode, which imitates the rhythm of a movie in a movie theater. This smart TV has a rich selection of apps, including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Pandora and MLB. And, importantly for a living room staple, the TC-55AS530U features an attractive design with an ultra-thin bezel around the 1080p screen and a sturdy, minimalist stand.

Best high-end LCD TV - price/quality

Not only has Samsung packed the 8000 series models to the gills with every feature and technology its engineers could muster, it has also managed to deliver the best image quality an LED-backlit LCD can deliver. The 55-inch UN55F8000 represents the golden mean in terms of price, size and performance. The faster internal processor provides a host of smart features, including a video camera, voice and gesture control, cable TV management, and an improved interface with a touchscreen remote control for switching between live TV and online programs on the screen. (Samsung also offers more smart TV features than any other TV maker.) More importantly, the device boasts picture quality to match all these features. Thanks to advanced local dimming and the corresponding detection of details in dark scenes, the LCD screen reproduces images of almost better quality. Colors also look natural and aren't oversaturated in the way that often happens on lesser TVs.

Price: $ 1600

Best 70-inch TV

If the main factor driving you to buy a TV is the desire to purchase a device with the largest screen possible, then take a closer look at this 70-inch model from Sharp. Series 6 delivers impressive performance for movie buffs and sports fans alike. It doesn't come with high-end features like Sharp's four-color Quattron technology, which improves color reproduction, or local dimming, which enhances contrast. But in return for all these subtle quality enhancement features, you get a fairly large screen for watching exciting Super Bowl games or movies just like in a movie theater. In addition, the TV has a built-in Wi-Fi connection and connectivity to popular services such as Netflix and Hulu. And to ensure that when the TV is turned off, the situation is not marred by the dark panel of the TV, Sharp has a “wallpaper” function that allows the screen to change from various pre-loaded artistic or personal photos stored on a flash drive.

Price: $ 1700

Our assessment: 9.5/10

Best 4K/Ultra HD TV

An ultra-high-definition TV is not cheap. At least this applies to those models that are of high quality according to the format. The Samsung UN50HU8550 offers the best combination of price and performance you can get in a 4K/Ultra HD TV.

Black levels are especially deep here, and brightness is even across all parts of the screen (which is a challenge for all LCD TVs). Color reproduction is accurate and very pleasing to the eye. The UNHU8550 reproduces 1080p content beautifully.

And this is good - after all, this is the video format that you will mainly watch. Ultra HD content also looks great, which is not surprising.

Price: $ 1800

Our assessment: 8.5/10

Best 4K/Ultra HDTV

The 65-inch XBR-65X900B is a definite improvement over a number of other standard HD devices. Colors are sharper and image elements (even individual strands of hair) are visible clearly. Black levels are particularly deep: another benefit of an OLED screen. Good shadow detail is also maintained, so you can take full advantage of the high resolution.

Sony offers a $700 branded 4K Ultra HD Media Player for storing purchased or rented downloads from Sony Pictures. Available 4K content ranges from Breaking Bad and Ghostbusters to Funny Girl. In addition, the device increases the resolution of HD content. Add built-in speakers to this “bouquet” and you will get a full-fledged 4K device.

Price: $ 3500

Our assessment: 9.5/10

Best OLED TV

If your primary goal is to create a home theater, then perhaps the LG 55EC9300 model with a curved screen and not a very high price deserves your attention. OLED provides absolute black levels and therefore incredible contrast that no other screen can achieve. In this regard, it outperformed even the best plasma panels. Color reproduction is not only stunning (as you'd expect from an OLED screen), but it's also quite accurate.

The LG 55EC9300 maintains good color and contrast quality even when you view the screen from a wide angle (another benefit of OLED). This model also boasts LG's Web OS, one of the most intuitive and undoubtedly beautiful smart TV interfaces. The design of the TV itself, which for the most part is only a quarter of an inch thick. not much separated from the screen with an almost non-existent frame.

General conclusions

At exhibitions such as EISA-2015, you can see the trends in the development of television technologies today and make your choice accordingly. The best TV models presented here are not the only right choice, but rather they give a general idea of ​​today's TV.

Based on the results of 2015, the following conclusions can be drawn:

  1. Plasma TVs are gone from the market forever;
  2. The development of OLED technology has stopped; only LG is engaged in the production of OLED panels;
  3. Almost all television screens are LCD matrices with LED backlighting;
  • Smart TV technology is actively developing, all manufacturers are improving their smart TV. There is a transition to new operating systems, and Internet services are being developed to provide content. Something new appears every year; what was in Smart TV just 2-3 years ago is already outdated. It's hard to recommend a better system, and LG's win in the Smart TV category this year with its WebOS isn't all that clear. All manufacturers today provide sufficient functionality in their smart TVs to work on the Internet.
  • Ultra-high definition is increasingly being developed in televisions. Already many models from each manufacturer have 4K resolution. As you can see, all EISA winners in 2015 have 4K resolution. There is no longer even a category for “best Full HD TV”; the 1920x1080 resolution no longer works at exhibitions. So, soon most TV receiver models will come with Ultra HD resolution (3840x2160).
  • So far, OLED technology is losing out to LED. All companies except LG have abandoned the production of OLED panels. But all companies are engaged in the development of LED backlighting (LED) for liquid crystal matrices (LCD). The use of composite LEDs is considered a breakthrough in the development of LED backlighting. These technologies make it possible to expand the color gamut, which gives a noticeable advantage in the reproduction of colors in the picture. But it is worth saying that in terms of image quality, OLED screens outperform all technologies, and when the production cost of light-emitting panels (OLED) decreases, these screens will become dominant in the market.

CHIP is introducing a new “Top 10” section, in which it will regularly introduce readers to the best models of devices of various types tested in our European test center. In the first material, we bring to your attention the test results of the ten best 4K TVs as of autumn 2015.
