Samsung UE40M5000AU

Rating: 4.8

Traditional LCD TV, 40-inch screen which gives 50 Hz. The device got into our rating due to the display resolution, which here is 1920 x 1080 pixels. Of course, by modern standards it is a standard. However, in the budget segment you can find a sufficiently large number of TVs, the screen of which has only HD resolution.

The device supports all types of digital TV - from the on-air "multiplex" to satellite. That is, the buyer is unlikely to need a receiver. As for the sound, it is output using two 10-watt speakers. This is perfectly acceptable for most users. If you want something more, then optical audio output will come to the rescue, allowing you to connect speakers.

In fact, this TV does not offer anything unusual. You can select only two independent TV tuners. Otherwise, this is a typical budget option that uses two HDMI connectors and one USB port to connect external devices.

Sony KDL-40RE353

Rating: 4.7

Once about this TV was already discussed in one of the ratings of our online magazine. But to repeat is not a sin. As usual, the Japanese company Sony pays special attention to picture quality. This model is no exception to the rule. It includes a 102-centimeter LCD panel with excellent color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. The refresh rate is standard here, but it’s stupid to wait for 100 or 200 Hz from an inexpensive TV. But the design of the device may well please - to hang the device on the wall with such an elegant stand does not want to.

A curious feature of the Sony KDL-40RE353 is the presence of FM radio. Thus, the Japanese say: “The history of our company began with radio receivers, which should not be forgotten.” The rest is a typical budget LCD TV, which has several limitations.For example, you can not insert a cable from the satellite "dish" here - you will have to buy a receiver. Also, not all are satisfied with the number of connectors used here. Yes, and the speakers here are built quite quiet. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to put up with these shortcomings if you want to get excellent image quality for relatively little money.

Philips 40PFT4101

Rating: 4.6

Chinese comrades produce TVs under the Philips brand is not the first year. Most often, their products have a very attractive price tag. For example, a model called 40PFT4101 is available for purchase for 21-23 thousand rubles. Not bad for a 40-inch Full HD LCD TV! Interestingly, the manufacturer did not stint on the speakers - their total power reaches 16 W, which cannot be called a very low value. Also here there is a headphone jack, gradually disappearing even from much more expensive TVs.

Otherwise, it is impossible to say anything interesting about this model. Despite getting into our rating, one should not expect any miracles from the device. It uses only one TV tuner, and among the supported standards for digital television there is no satellite DVB-S2. Also, not all are satisfied with the number of connectors. Nevertheless, this model should appeal to the unpretentious buyer, who is not going to connect a lot of external electronics to the TV.

Top 40-inch Full HD Smart TVs

Samsung UE40K6550AU

Rating: 4.9

Remarkable 40-inch TV, which immediately stands out from the competition due to its curved screen. Of course, you will not get much effect from it with such a diagonal. However, guests will be amazed when they see a curved LCD TV in your living room.

Unlike cheaper models, there is already quite decent working Smart TV. Also, most buyers should arrange the number of connectors placed on the rear panel. The total power of the built-in speakers reaches 20 W - this can be called a completely acceptable value. A nice bonus is the presence of Bluetooth.

And what can you find fault? Perhaps, only to the absence of a 3.5-millimeter audio jack and one built-in TV tuner. For the rest, the product has no serious drawbacks, thanks to which it got into our rating.

Sony KDL-40WE663

Rating: 4.8

Superb TV, with a very thin frame and elegant stand. You can buy such a device for about 35 thousand rubles. It is clear that the TV for such money must have the function of Smart TV. Here it is implemented on the basis of Opera TV. Users do not complain about slowing down, there are no special problems in the choice of applications - all the most necessary is available here.

It should be noted that the LCD panel is introduced here, the diagonal of which is 39.6 inches (101 cm). This means that the Sony KDL-40WE663 TV is a bit smaller than the other models considered in the rating. The undoubted advantage of the device is support for HDR. You can notice this fact both when watching YouTube and when playing on a Sony PS4. Nothing really bad can be said about the number of connectors - a pair of HDMI and the same amount of USB is enough for most buyers. But one TV tuner and the lack of support for the DVB-S2 satellite standard may disappoint someone. However, these are the only significant disadvantages of this TV. However, you can remember about the speakers, the total power of which is only 10 watts.

Top 40 inch TVs with 4K resolution

Samsung UE40KU6300U

Rating: 4.9

If the above discussion was exclusively about TVs, the screen of which has only Full HD resolution, then the 40-inch Samsung UE40KU6300U already includes a 4K panel. It is impossible to see the individual pixels here even if you approach the product almost closely. Also, the display of this model can boast a slight isoenosis. It is noted that to look at this screen is most pleasant. It should be noted and the support for HDR available here, thanks to which the image seems even more realistic.

As befits such a TV, it has the function of Smart TV. In this case, it is based on the Tizen operating system. There is almost no slowdown. And it would be strange to expect another from a rather expensive device. Nothing bad can be said here either about the speakers, the number of connectors, or the support for digital TV - you can even connect a satellite dish to a South Korean. Some buyers can only complain to the TV tuner. It is built here in a single copy. Issues and energy consumption, for some reason, reaching 135 watts.

LG 43UJ740V

Rating: 4.8

This 40-inch TV hit our rating somewhat unfairly. The fact is that the diagonal of its screen is 43 inches (109 cm) - a little more than it should be. However, we could not fail to mention such a smart device collecting only positive reviews. Now it is an LCD TV with one of the thinnest frames. Here, even the stand tries not to distract attention from what is happening on the screen - it is made in the form of two thin side legs. The display, by the way, was created using IPS technology, which indicates good color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. Boast such a screen can not only 4K-resolution, but also support for HDR technology. Only the refresh rate of 50 Hz can confuse. However, from the TV for 43 thousand rubles. It is hardly worth waiting for a higher parameter.

The product is equipped with a powerful processor, thanks to which the webOS works without any slowdowns. Also, this model is able to boast the support of all three of the most popular standards for digital TV. But even more, the buyer should rejoice at the wireless module Wi-Fi 802.11ac - thanks to him, you can realize online video viewing with a huge bit rate.

In general, the LG 43UJ740V definitely deserves the money spent on it.You just read the list of advantages - its length exceeds all reasonable limits! The drawbacks of the TV are almost completely absent. Well, do not assume the same weight, reaching 10.3 kg ...

Sony KD-43XE7096

Rating: 4.8

One of the best 40-inch TVs among Sony produced and having a price tag no higher than 50 thousand rubles. 108-centimeter screen of the device produces a very high quality picture. Viewing angles - the maximum. Not forgotten here and technology support HDR. In this case, the display can not be called somehow non-standard - this is a regular IPS-panel with a refresh rate of 50 Hz.

The sound here is made by two speakers, the power of each is 10 watts. External devices are connected via three HDMI connectors and the same number of USB ports. And here there are two independent TV tuners, thanks to which you can watch both on-air and satellite TV at the same time. There is also a Smart TV based on the Opera TV operating system.

In a word, it is unlikely that any claims can be made to the TV, especially if you forget about the substantial mark-up for the brand. The power consumption of the device is 111 W, which is explained by a powerful processor and bright backlighting. Well, a 10-pound weight can be considered quite acceptable parameter for a 42-inch TV.

Conclusion

Now you know which 40-inch TVs are worth paying attention to. The models reviewed here are unlikely to seriously disappoint you at all. Although even the best LCD TVs have some disadvantages. Now you just have to decide with which of them you are ready to accept, after which the choice will be made.
