Samsung UE40MU6400U
Rating: 4.9
This 102 cm TV will be a wonderful decoration for a small living room, and for the bedroom. The case of the device is painted in silver color. At the same time, the frame of the screen turned out to be very thin, which can not but rejoice. The screen of the device is made using TFT PLS technology, which indicates high-quality color reproduction and almost maximum viewing angles. It is also important that the display has a 4K resolution. As will have to court and support for HDR. What is lacking here is only an increased update frequency, but it is foolish to wait for this from the TV, the cost of which does not exceed 38 thousand rubles.
Such a device could not do without Smart TV. Here this technology is based on the Tizen operating system. Internet connection is carried out either through a cable, or thanks to the Wi-Fi 802.11n module. There is also Bluetooth, which helps in connecting some wireless devices. If you are interested in connecting gaming consoles and other electronics, then for this purpose are three HDMI-connector. Well, a couple of USB ports is designed to help connect the flash drive and an external hard drive. You can also note that there are two TV tuners that allow you to watch and broadcast, and, say, satellite TV.

LG 43UJ740V
Rating: 4.8
Another TV in our rating, which has a thin screen framing. The body here is also painted in silver. This is a great choice for those who want to highlight their TV against the background of the rest of consumer electronics.The display installed here was created using IPS technology. The South Korean company LG has mastered this method better than anyone else, so the buyer will expect maximum viewing angles and almost perfect color reproduction. It should be noted that 4K resolution is complemented by support for HDR. If you watch the relevant content, you can enjoy the most realistic picture.
Of course, the screen is not the only positive feature of the TV. Someone can please two TV tuner and support for all standards of digital television - from air to satellite. Good here is the acoustics, consisting of two speakers with a capacity of 10 watts. It is hardly possible to demand even louder sound from a 43-inch TV. Finally, it is impossible not to mention the operating system WebOS, which works almost perfectly - it is felt that the device has received a powerful processor and a large amount of RAM.

Sony KD-43XE7096
Rating: 4.7
This TV hit our rating primarily due to its very narrow frame. Only the lower part turned out to be the widest - this is where almost all the electronics are located. The screen here is used IPS-panel with a diagonal of 42.5 inches. You can be sure that you will see a picture with perfect color, no matter what angle you look at it. Also, the Japanese manufacturer has introduced HDR support here, thanks to which the colors change to more realistic ones, while they begin to persist even in the shadows. Sorry, except that you can only about the standard refresh rate of the display.
As the operating system, the Japanese installed Opera TV. This is a very good option, but you should not count on a record number of applications. Also, the manufacturer is generous to a large number of connectors. In particular, three USB ports and the same number of HDMI jacks are waiting for the buyer. Even the output to the headphones is not forgotten, but it disappears from the majority of modern LCD TVs! Nothing bad can be said about the speakers installed here, the total power of which is 20 watts.

Top 4K 46-49 inch TVs
Samsung QE49Q7FAM
Rating: 4.8
The cost of this TV reaches almost 100 thousand rubles. This is not connected with the screen diagonal of 48.5 inches. The fact is that the display of this TV is made using QLED technology. Quantum dots, as is known, can emit light on their own (backlight is used only partially). As a result, the dark areas of the screen will be exactly dark - they almost do not glow. Needless to say, this results in almost perfect black colors?
Like the other TVs considered in this rating, Samsung QE49Q7FAM has HDR support. This is especially felt when playing in exclusive projects for the Sony PlayStation 4. Connecting external electronics is offered using four HDMI connectors. Even on the case you can find three USB-ports for connecting an external hard drive, USB flash drive and other peripherals. There is also a stable Smart TV here, so you can watch the content online. The device is connected to the router via Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac, which allows you to watch even videos with a very high bitrate.And here there is also Bluetooth, with which you can use, for example, a wireless headset.
The device has three TV tuners. They are all completely independent. This allows you to watch terrestrial and satellite TV at the same time, enjoying the function “Picture in Picture”. Finally, it should be noted and built-in speakers. Its total power is 40 W, while the low frequencies are played by the subwoofer.

LG 49SJ810V
Rating: 4.8
Beautiful 4K TV with silver housing. The framing here turned out to be extremely thin, the stand is made in the form of a smooth arc. The TV is rated by Russian sellers at 65 thousand rubles. In this regard, you should not think that this model is the star of our rating. No, the product has a couple of drawbacks. But they are so insignificant that you cease to remember them immediately after they become known. Instead, you can’t stop looking at a smart IPS display, which has not only 4K resolution, but also HDR support. The screen with a diagonal of 49.5 inches is especially striking when viewing action scenes, because the sweep frequency here is brought to 120 Hz.
This TV can boast a large number of connectors. The South Koreans did not even forget about the output to the headphones, which had already disappeared from the majority of models. In this case, you can connect and a wireless headset, which will be used by Bluetooth. As it is easy to guess, the device has the function of Smart TV, so that the buyer will be able to watch content located on the global web. Also, the product includes two TV tuners that allow you to watch both on-air and satellite TV at the same time.
Well, what about the disadvantages? Perhaps, somehow pay attention only to the speaker system. It consists of two speakers with a total power of 20 watts. For such a large TV is not enough - some users will connect the speakers. But on the other hand, the power consumption of this model does not exceed 85 W, which is good news.

Sony KD-49XE8096
Rating: 4.6
Another Japanese TV in our rating. It also boasts 4K-resolution and HDR support. Its body is painted in the usual black color. Framing traditionally turned out very narrow, which can not but rejoice. The screen of the device has a diagonal of 48.5 inches. It was created using IPS technology, which speaks of realistic colors and maximum viewing angles. And, of course, the device for 70 thousand rubles. I could not get two independent TV tuners. This design allows you to simultaneously watch terrestrial and satellite television. This is especially true for guests of our country who want to watch both Russian and foreign TV channels.
As befits a modern TV, Sony KD-49XE8096 offers the use of Internet functionality. For this, the Android operating system is installed here. Do I have to say that a huge number of applications have been created for this OS? Connection to the router can be made using Wi-Fi 802.11ac.As for the external electronic equipment, it is connected via four HDMI connectors and three USB ports.
In short, this is a very good choice for those who want to get a TV with the ability to connect a large number of other devices. Pleases the device and image quality, because this is a proprietary feature of Sony TVs, for which overpayment is carried out.

Top 4K TVs with a diagonal of 50-55 inches
LG OLED55B7V
Rating: 4.9
Our rating could not do without an OLED TV. In his capacity serves, of course, the creation of the company LG Electronics. The model called OLED55B7V has a 4K-display, the diagonal of which is 54.6 inches (139 cm). The thin silver frame does not distract the eye at all. The device is placed on the cabinet with the help of an elegant stand. OLED-matrix allows you to enjoy perfect color even in the daytime, at least with the lights off. Black colors are black here, you can be sure of that.
Separately, it should be noted that the manufacturer has increased the sweep frequency to 120 Hz. This is well felt when watching all sorts of action films - the picture is as smooth as possible. Another undoubted advantage of the TV is its speaker system, consisting of four speakers with a total power of 40 watts. One feels that even the bass is well developed here, which is not true of most of the televisions reviewed above. Nothing bad can be said about the set of connectors used here. Two TV tuners that allow you to watch television from different sources should also please the buyer. In short, if you are ready to spend about 90-100 thousand rubles, then this is the best choice!

Samsung QE55Q6FAM
Rating: 4.8
If LG is developing an OLED direction, then Samsung’s top TVs have QLED screen at their disposal. In particular, the model under the index QE55Q6FAM possesses such, for which in the Russian retail they ask for no more than 100 thousand rubles. The display installed here has a diagonal of 54.6 inches. Of course, the buyer is waiting for 4K-resolution and full support for HDR. If we make a comparison with the above-mentioned OLED-TV, then the standard sweep frequency immediately draws attention to itself. In many other ways, the Samsung product still outperforms the competition. For example, three TV tuners are built in here at once. Yes, and Tizen can boast a large number of applications, if you go to the appropriate online store. Equal to the two devices only in terms of the speaker system - here, too, installed the speakers with a total power of 40 watts, outstanding, including excellent bass.
In general, the buyer will receive everything that you can wish for. A large number of connectors are installed here, while you can connect to the router via Wi-Fi 802.11ac. However, expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/ recommends paying attention to the OLED competitor. Unfortunately, this TV is still not capable of producing perfect black colors, for which one should blame the current development of quantum dot technology.

Sony KD-55XE9005
Rating: 4.7
As you know, Sony almost always makes some mark-up for the brand. But in the case of the Sony KD-55XE9005, this may seem overkill. For this TV they ask for more than 99 thousand rubles, while he does not have a QLED or OLED panel. Nevertheless, he was in our rating for a reason. The fact is that its creators tried to squeeze everything out of IPS technology. We guarantee that an unprepared viewer will be delighted with the image. Direct LED backlight can create a local dimming, so black colors will be very close to the ideal. HDR technology works great here. But even more buyers should be pleased with the refresh rate of the screen, reaching 100 Hz here.
Unfortunately, the rest is a typical modern LCD TV. The Sony did not become wise with the speaker system, introducing a pair of speakers with a total power of 20 watts. Do I have to say that this is not enough for a device with a 55-inch screen? As the operating system, Android is used here, which can no longer be brought into obvious shortcomings. Nor can this be done with respect to the headphone jack, disappearing from many televisions. But the power consumption, reaching 189 W, just upset someone. However, it is unlikely that a person who buys such a TV saves on electricity bills.
Virtues
-
Built-in three TV tuners;
-

Samsung UE50MU6100U
Rating: 4.6
One of the cheapest TVs equipped with a 50-inch screen. For this device they ask only 50 thousand rubles, and in some stores it can be purchased even cheaper. It is clear that for such money you should not wait for the maximum image quality, as you should not count on a smart speaker system. Nevertheless, the Samsung UE50MU6100U still can boast with something, otherwise it would not have gained a place in our rating. For example, the screen refresh rate here is 100 Hz. And this is one of the few TVs with this option in this price segment. Also, the device easily copes with the launch of applications designed for Tizen - a powerful processor and a large amount of RAM ensure the absence of any brakes. The creators need to be commended for a fairly convenient remote control that supports not only push-button control, but also voice control.
It is worth talking about the negative sides of this model. First, the product consumes about 195 watts - a regular viewing of the “box” will necessarily affect the electricity bills. Secondly, the low bandwidth of the wireless module is slightly distressing, which can cause problems with viewing 4K content over the network. The third drawback is the speaker system, consisting of two speakers with a total power of 20 watts.

Top 4K TVs from 65 inches
Samsung QE65Q7FAM
Rating: 4.9
One of the best QLED TVs among those available in Russian stores. About 200 thousand rubles are asked for the device, but this is quite an adequate amount for a 65-inch TV. Think about the diagonal reaches 165 cm! Not every person in our country has a living room with enough space so that you can watch such a monster. It is also one of the few devices in this rating, which is equipped with three TV tuners. This allows you to connect two satellite dishes, additionally engaged in watching terrestrial television. It should be noted, and increased to 100 Hz update rate. Not every television with such a large physical size can boast of such a parameter.
Perhaps, it is difficult to present any claims to this model. Here and the speaker system can boast a powerful sound, and the number of connectors will suit any customer, and the Tizen operating system works without any slowdowns. But we understand that there is no perfect TV? Simply the flaws here seem very far-fetched. Someone in the reviews complains about the fragility. This man expected to get a TV with a very thick glass, because of what the device would weigh all 50 kg? Also claims are expressed to the kit, where there are no bolts for mounting on the wall. However, this is typical of any modern TV. And only the high price is the justly mentioned disadvantage.
Virtues
-
Very large and colorful QLED display;
-
A large number of connectors;

LG 65UJ634V
Rating: 4.7
One of the most affordable 64-inch TVs. But he got to our rating not only because of the cost, varying from 65 to 85 thousand rubles. We appreciated the quality of the image displayed on the 4K-display, created by IPS technology. The buyer can count on maximum viewing angles and the inclusion of the HDR effect when viewing relevant content. Video can be taken both from external electronic devices and from the global web. In the second case, WebOS will be used - an operating system adapted by LG for use on TVs. Connecting to the router can be carried out through the standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac, so the buyer will not exactly complain about the lack of bandwidth.
The rest is the usual LCD TV, not enough stars from the sky. It uses the standard refresh rate of the screen, nothing special can boast acoustics. Well, two TV tuners are the standard for this price segment. Also, not all customers have stable applications that serve to view video content. In short, we would recommend either to buy a smaller TV for the same money, or to pay extra for a more advanced model. The LG 65UJ634V is worth paying attention to if you are 100% ready to accept its shortcomings.

Samsung UE75MU7000U
Rating: 4.6
The most expensive TV in our rating, for which about 240 thousand rubles are asked in Russian stores. For the money the buyer receives the device, the screen diagonal of which reaches 75 inches (191 cm).For such a TV will need a huge room! In particular, he will find a place somewhere in a bar or restaurant. The screen here is only positive impressions. It has 4K resolution and HDR support. Moreover, the South Koreans were able to increase the frequency of the sweep to 200 Hz, so that the action scenes in movies and games look as smooth as possible.
This TV is difficult to make a complaint. The manufacturer tried to give it maximum performance. In particular, he built in here an excellent acoustic system, the total power of which reaches 40 watts. He also gave the TV a lot of connectors and high-speed wireless modules. Like a cherry on a cake - three independent TV tuners.

No, this is already real, because even relatively inexpensive action cameras are able to shoot such a high-quality video. And yet this picture is given out, as already mentioned above, powerful computers and modern gaming consoles. And this is not to mention the fact that 4K-video can be easily found on the Internet!
