As practice shows, people do not change their TVs very often. But the development of modern technologies does not stop for a second, and we constantly see some incredible innovations. And when the time comes to buy a new TV, we are often at a loss for what these functions are for and whether they are useful in everyday life. But I want to get myself a good modern technology, so much so that for years ahead its possibilities remain relevant.
And besides the functions you should not forget about the quality. And who would want his TV to break down a month after the purchase? Therefore, people are accustomed to trust only reliable, eminent producers. So, being on the verge of choice, many are asked the following question, to which we will further answer: which LED TV is better - LG, Samsung or Philips? After all, these manufacturers are now the most popular.
Among other things, these companies do not just boast of the quality of their products. It is they who in recent years have set the main direction for the development of such a sphere as the production of television sets.
Why LED TVs
Before I begin to answer the main question, I propose to understand why people choose LED TVs, and not some others. And that generally means LED.The category of LEDs is a liquid-crystal TV, in which LEDs are used to illuminate the screen, and not cold cathode lamps, as in conventional LCD technology. This gives the following advantages:
- High definition and detailed image. On the screen of such a TV, there are no any blur or lack of sharpness of the picture.
- LED TVs are more environmentally friendly. The LED backlight does not use mercury.
- Slim body and more stylish design. Due to the manufacturing features, these TVs boast of a flawlessly thin body.
- Low power consumption. This category of TVs consumes much less electricity. Among them, this quality is especially notable for TVs with side lighting.

Comparison of TVs LG, Samsung and Philips
In order to more objectively evaluate which LED TVs are better, we will take one representative eachmanufacturer from one price category: Samsung UE46F5020 to 46 ", LG 47LA620V to 47" and Philips 46PFL4208T to 46. All these models cost about 28 to 30 thousand rubles
Screen format
The screen format for all models is the same and is 16:9, the same with the resolutionAll of the manufacturers are on the same level, but here the most important difference of the LG TV is the support of the passive( polarized) 3D-format, which is very good for this cost
update frequency The next parameterThis is the criterion for any TV, regardless of other functions. And it should be said that Samsung in this respect is much inferior to its competitors: for it, this figure is only 100 Hz, when the other models have a frequency of 200 Hz. This indicates a clearer picture of Philips and LG TVs.
Resolution of
Although not so significant, but still an important indicator can be the number of possible formats when connecting to a computer. In this capacity, Philips 46PFL4208T leaves behind the rest with the following possible formats: 1920x1080, 1360x768, 1024x768, 640x480, 800x600.In the last place remains Samsung UE46F5020, where only two possible resolutions: 1920x1080, 640x480.
Interface
Perhaps the decisive criterion when buying a TV can be the number of interfaces. This allows you to use the full capabilities of the purchased equipment. Here the leader is Philips 46PFL4208T which has the following ports and connectors:
- AV
- SCART
- Two USB
- Ethernet
- Two audio inputs
- Component input
- Three HDMI connectors
- D-Sub
It should be noted and the model of LG, which has three USB connectors and four HDMI.However, by the total, it still loses.
Sound
With regard to sound, the best among the TVs in question is the LG 47LA620V, which has a sound power of 24 watts. Other models have an equal figure of 20 watts.
Functions
An interesting situation develops when considering functions. Unlike other models, Samsung does not have wireless Wi-Fi support, and accordingly does not support the Smart TV function, which is much inferior.
Summing up
Of course, you can compare the data of TV models for a long time, but we will dwell on what is already available. Thanks to the above, we can see about the following picture: the outsider in this comparison is Samsung's TV, as the other two models have largely outstripped it.
And the decisive moment here was the lack of support for Smart TV.The first place will be awarded to the LG 47LA620V TV, as with all the similarities with other models, this supports the 3D format, which is currently very topical. So, Philips remains only second.
But, despite our findings, according to the statistics of one of the authoritative Internet magazines, Samsung, as the manufacturer of TVs, is trusted by 26% of people, and LG only 19%, which already speaks about something. Therefore, when choosing a TV, carefully study its technical characteristics, and sometimes it is worth reading the reviews in order to protect yourself from the error.
