The best TVs of 2020

The rating of TV manufacturers in 2019, according to buyers

Composing today's TOP-5 manufacturers, the Tehno.guru editorial staff was based on the feedback from people who purchased equipment during the past and present year. Based on the information we have collected, the locations are arranged as follows:

 Panasonic. High-quality assembly of devices, a good picture and not too high cost allowed the brand to gain a foothold in the top five. The equipment is considered reliable and rarely fails due to the fault of the manufacturer. It is not the first year that Panasonic has been on the Russian market, where it has earned a good reputation. Of the minuses, only a small lineup can be noted;

 Philips. Products of this brand are distinguished from others by the presence of illumination "Ambilight", which is projected onto the wall behind the screen. With good build quality, low price, the brand boasts a wide range of models. The only drawback that should be noted is a slight "slowdown" of the menu, however, judging by the reviews, many are ready to put up with such a problem and do not see anything wrong with it;

 "LG". Honorable third place. The most appreciated 3D TVs of this brand. Users note the pricing policy of the company - the cost of equipment is between the budget and the elite option. Build and image quality tilts closer to the elite;

 "Sony". The exquisite design, which came from Japan, coupled with the excellent Slovak build quality, elevates the brand to the second place in our ranking. The cost is a little let down - it is it that does not allow the Sony brand to rise to the first place;

 "Samsung". Who, if not them. A wide range of models, a wide range of different options, high-quality assembly - all this is complemented by a low cost compared to Sony. The Korean company opened the production of TV equipment in Russia back in 2010. It was the Russian assembly that made it possible to reduce the prices for their products.

Rating of the best in nominations, according to the editorial staff of Tehno.guru

Let's try to review the best TVs by nominations. There will be only one winner from each with some characteristics mentioned. This 2019 ranking will help in the question of which brand is better to choose a TV.

The winner among LCD TVs - "Philips 43PFS5302"

Without a doubt the best value for money, with 108 cm diagonal. It has good color rendering, high-quality sound, convenient control. Taking into account that its cost is only 17,000 rubles, it is not worth looking for flaws. There are people who say that with prolonged viewing, their eyes begin to hurt, however, this is worth doubting. After all, you can look in different ways. If you put any, most secure TV, a meter away from you and peer into it for 5-7 hours in a row, your eyes will hurt in any case. Therefore, the Philips 43PFS5302 is the best in the LCD TV category.

Full HD devices - who won this nomination

Here I would like to note the "Panasonic TX-49FSR500" with a diagonal of 123 cm, which is quite enough for an average apartment. Support for many multimedia formats. The model was created back in 2019, but even now it continues to improve. The cost on Internet resources is 25,000 rubles. In retail chains, be prepared to overpay 10,000-13,000 rubles.

4K LED SMART TV devices: the best among the best

Here we decided to place two nominations at once - the best with 4K resolution and the winner of the Smart TVs rating. Despite the high cost (about 320,000 rubles), the OLED LG OLED65C8 equipment is fascinating. The ultra-realistic picture on the thinnest 65-inch (165 cm) screen conveys the smallest details. The presence of Wi-Fi, network connectivity, Smart TV based on the updated webOS, compatibility with various HDR formats (HDR 10, HLG, Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR) takes the cost into the background. Of course, only if there is a financial opportunity to purchase such a miracle of technology.

Everyone understands that the larger the screen of the device, the higher its cost will be. However, the same diagonal TV different brands does not guarantee the similarity of characteristics and cost. Let's try to figure out which models of different brands are better. Let's start with the "little ones" by looking at the rating of 32 "budget TVs.

Prices for such models are higher, however, and there are also budget options. The fifth place in our rating can be called one of these. But first things first. "Supra STV-LC42T440FL" does not differ in super characteristics. They can even be described as "below average", but this model got to the fifth place due to its low cost, which is 17,000 rubles.

The fourth place rightfully takes Philips with model "40 PFT 5501". Due to the 4th place by the presence of support for Full HD, teletext for 1000 pages. Of the minuses, we note the lack of support for Flash technologies, weak speakers (only 16 W). Sony KD-43XD8305 is a more advanced technique. Smart TV, Wi-Fi support, the ability to connect to the Internet - this is all about the third place in our rating. The model could well have competed for a higher place, but summed up the cost, which averages 67,000 rubles.

"Samsung UE40MU6100U" - second place. The viewing angle of the 102 cm screen is 178˚, the built-in Wi-Fi module.

TOP 10 best TVs in 2019: "price-quality" rating

In this rating, the places may not coincide with all the previous ones, but we still have to make it up. It is he who will become the main assistant in the choice of TV and its acquisition. Consider several models from various categories with an optimal price-quality ratio. You should start with a rating of 32-inch TVs. It is especially pleasant that a domestic brand closes the top three here.

"Vityaz 32LH0202" - a worthy third place

Having entered the world level, this brand was able not only to catch up with the world's “sharks” in this segment. He competes with them with dignity, constantly adding new options, improving quality and expanding the range. "Vityaz 32LH0202" with a diagonal of 81 cm at a cost of 12,000 rubles. possesses a set of characteristics that is ahead of competitors in some parameters. Looking at the cost and class of the device, the 170˚ viewing angle seems quite solid. Edge LED backlighting is mounted on the edge of the screen. Teletext for 1000 pages and side speakers with 20 watts of total power are a welcome addition. Of the minuses, one cannot fail to note the lack of Wi-Fi and, most importantly, the ability to mount it on the wall. Otherwise, Vityaz 32LH0202 rightfully closes the top three.

French "Philips 40PFS5073", as always, among the leaders

Silver among TVs with a diagonal of 39.5 inches in terms of price-quality ratio today we gave to the model "Philips 40PFS5073", which differs from "Vityaz" by a wider viewing angle (178˚), a matrix with a brightness of 350 cd / m2 (and this is a record in this segment) and the presence of Wi-Fi module. And therefore, despite the higher cost (about 35,000 rubles), Philips 40PFS5073 has a well-deserved second place.

"Sony KDL-32WD603" - gold medalist for 32-inch devices

This TV supports a huge number of formats - it is unlikely that you will be able to find unsupported ones. Basically, the functions and characteristics are identical to the silver medalist, however, there are additional ones. For example, the power consumption of 45 W is not so low that any model from this price category can boast. By the way, the cost of "Sony KDL-32WD603" is only 20,000 rubles.

If you need a TV set for installation in a small room or kitchen, you can purchase a similar model or "Vityaz 32L301C18". This will not cut a big hole in the budget, and the quality and functionality of such devices will be at a very high level. Believe me, if you buy a TV for 5,000 rubles, you will definitely not be able to get pleasure from watching it.

Now let's move on to larger models with a diagonal of 40-49 inches.

Sony KDL-32WD603

Third place - "Philips 43PFS5813"

And again the French are in trend. Despite the average characteristics, "Philips 43PFS5813" falls into the top three thanks to the extended screen at a cost of only 17,000 rubles. Pleases a viewing angle of 176˚ both vertically and horizontally. From the functions available Smart TV, off timer, program list, child protection, teletext, program guide. Additional features - 2-sided Ambilight Spectra, LAN port, Net TV service, DLNA network connection.

If you need a fairly simple Smart TV for little money - this is what you need. However, a factory defect often comes across. According to reviews, TV may refuse to receive digital channels. You should be prepared for this.

Philips 43PFS5813

"Samsung UE40MU6450UXRU" - Silver in this category

Perfectly equipped TV with a diagonal of 101.6 cm. In addition to the options that the previous contestant had, it is possible to freeze the image (freeze frame) or even record your favorite show. Internet available via LAN or Wi-Fi. I could well have competed for the first place, but I let the cost down - more than 40,000 rubles.

And again "Samsung", only in the first place is the model "UE40J5200"

With absolutely identical parameters with the "Samsung UE40MU6450UXRU" (except for the Plug & Play function, which is installed instead of recording to an external medium), the cost of the model is much lower - 25,000 rubles. It is for this reason that we give this TV a well-deserved first place.

Samsung UE40MU6450UXRU

Bronze among nominees up to 55 inches

Here the entire podium was occupied TVs brand "LG", and therefore we restrict ourselves to the usual table with characteristics.

A place	Model	pros	Minuses	Average price (as of 2019), rubles

Best TV of 2019 - "Sony KD-65XD9305"

Sony KD-65XD9305

Amazing Slovenian TV based on Android TV 6.0 Marshmallow OS. The diagonal of the screen is 75 inches (190.5 cm). Built-in memory - 16 GB, image enhancement with 4K X-Reality PRO technology. The device weighs quite a lot, 35.2 kg, and therefore it is not recommended to hang it on the wall. There is a Wi-Fi module, the ability to access the Internet (LAN), a Smart TV function. 3 USB connectors, 4 - HDMI, which allows you to connect a lot of peripheral devices to it. The only thing that confuses this TV is the cost, which is 200,000 rubles.

Summarize

In conclusion, I would like to note that the variety of assortment of such goods on the shelves of household appliances is too great today. As a result, the opposite result has been achieved - it is very easy for a common man to get confused. This means that it makes sense not to rush to the store when a certain amount appears, but to thoughtfully and leisurely monitor the electronics market via the Internet, to find out the opinion of other buyers. Better to waste a few days than wasted money. Only with a careful approach to the issue can you hope that the purchased TV will be worth your money and will bring pleasure to you and your loved ones. Think about it.
