After all, each company has its own advantages and disadvantages, a special vision of the best TV and the needs of customers, which means that each brand sets its own priorities when creating devices. It is also important to know that many company characteristics are assessed differently, which is why even with the same technical description devices can work completely differently. That is why, before purchasing the development of a particular manufacturer, it is recommended to get acquainted with its reputation and philosophy, as well as reviews of its TVs.

The most popular TV brands

The most famous and popular companies are strikingly different from others not only in that their TVs are easy to find in any store, but also in the huge variety of capabilities, technology and cost. Developments from the largest brands are presented in all categories, so everyone can find a solution to suit their taste and budget: from minimalist budget options for a summer house or small kitchen to cutting-edge new products with high quality pictures, surround sound and innovative features. However, each manufacturer has unique features that are common to, if not all, then most TVs.

5 Panasonic

Volume. Intuitive interface
Country: Japan
Rating (2019): 4.5

Panasonic is one of the most popular Japanese manufacturers, annually introducing televisions from different market segments to consumers. The brand was prevented from taking a higher position in the review by the not always justified pricing policy and the crudeness of some individual models. Nevertheless, most of the company’s devices are loved by customers due to their decent quality, ease of operation and good loud speakers.

Even Panasonic’s far from the most expensive representatives, for example the 32-inch TX-32FSR500 TV, have speakers that produce a volume of 20 watts, which will be enough for most to comfortably watch their favorite movies. At the same time, while most competitors equip their equipment with the often not the most convenient Android platform, the Japanese company has given preference to the fast and at the same time extremely simple Firefox OS system with a clear interface.

4 LG

Wide selection of models in any category
Country: South Korea
Rating (2019): 4.6

Known for its huge range of products, the South Korean company LG occupies a prominent place among the best manufacturers TVs. The brand’s developments are very diverse: from the simplest models costing about 10,000 rubles to expensive giants with 4K UHD resolution and many rare properties. LG is innovative and pioneering. Televisions from mid- and premium-segment companies often combine a huge number of functions, including surround sound, voice control, timer, light sensor, support for various formats, standards and interfaces.

A special place among the best LG TVs is occupied by the ultra-modern giant OLED65W8 model with 4K resolution, equipped with as many as six speakers with a total power of 60 watts, a subwoofer to give the sound special depth, multi-screen mode and voice control. However, this does not prevent the brand from actively creating very affordable, but at the same time completely functional models, the cost of which starts at 8,000 rubles.

3 Philips

Excellent ratio of features and price. Stylish design
Country: Netherlands
Rating (2019): 4.7

The Dutch brand is perhaps the only representative of the category that takes due responsibility for creating both a premium device and an inexpensive basic model. The lion's share of Philips TVs is aimed at the mass consumer, and therefore the company's developments can more often be found in the budget and middle class than in the elite. At the same time, even 3D TVs with spectacular Ambilight backlighting, which have become a kind of calling card of the Dutch manufacturer, have a relatively affordable price compared to their competitors.

However, Philips is good not only for these futuristic developments, because the brand has created many excellent mid-priced TVs that are not inferior to their premium counterparts either in quality or in their ability to perform the most important and popular functions. For example, the inexpensive model 39PHT4003, like many expensive analogues, received a high-contrast 39-inch screen with an anti-glare coating that does not distort the image at any angle, the popular Time Shift option and the ability to record video to an external storage device.

2 Samsung

Reliability. Functionality
Country: South Korea
Rating (2019): 4.8

Popular devices Korean manufacturer Not only are they among the richest in features, but they have also proven themselves to be the best in terms of durability. Like LG, present in every niche, Samsung TVs work without problems for years. High quality successfully harmonizes with useful properties and, in many cases, with a completely reasonable price. Although the company has a reputation as far from being the most democratic concern, today many Samsung devices with similar characteristics cost no more than LG or another world-famous brand.

According to numerous reviews, the company's TVs, as a rule, fully justify their price with a long service life, a variety of design solutions and Full HD resolution, even in economy class models. The only negative was some slowness of the otherwise quite convenient Smart TV.

1 Sony

Better image quality. Thoughtfulness
Country: Japan
Rating (2019): 5.0

The leader among the best TV manufacturers is an internationally recognized Japanese company with more than half a century of history. Sony's designs are unique in their attention to detail. These TVs have thought out everything to the smallest detail, thanks to which Smart TV and other functions are stable and work without failures or unexpected reboots. Moreover, the models differ more than it might seem at first glance. Various functionality and different OS from Android to Opera TV provide the user with a good selection of devices with elegant design.

Although Sony is sometimes criticized for its pricing policy, the cost of TVs is comparable to its analogues. The not too low price of the most profitable models is largely due to the fact that the company creates only devices with a diagonal of over 32 inches, and large TVs from well-known brands are rarely cheap. Therefore, Sony can only be blamed for the lack of compact devices, but not for greed.

The best brands of economy class TVs

Some companies prefer not to waste time on the race of innovations and large screens, but to focus on the most popular class of TVs for home and garden – budget. Devices of this type are mostly very compact, lightweight and consume relatively little electricity. However, despite the low price and small dimensions, TVs from some of the best brands can boast of truly decent image and sound quality, excellent speed, and sometimes basic innovative additions. In addition, they are mostly very easy to set up and use every day, so they are suitable for viewers of any age.

5 BBK

Lowest prices. Minimum weight of most models
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.5

The Chinese brand BBK is one of the very few manufacturers with the most customer-oriented pricing policy. Even among representatives of the economy class, televisions from this company stand out for their record low prices. At the same time, such availability pleases not only the smallest models, but also the developments with a medium diagonal. Also, according to reviews, TVs from this manufacturer are characterized by the simplest and most intuitive controls. In addition, an important advantage of the BBK is its very compact dimensions and very low weight. For example, the BBK 20LEM-1063/T2C model weighs only 1.8 kilograms, so you don’t have to worry about placing the TV even on a fairly thin wall or a light hanging shelf.

However, like everything cheap, this company also has disadvantages, the main ones of which users consider weak and not very high quality sound and low resolution on many TVs. Otherwise, BBK is not inferior to most slightly more expensive companies.

4 Hyundai

Rating (2019): 4.6

Although the Hyundai brand has been known to everyone for a very long time, not everyone knows that this holding company produces not only cars and ships, but also electronics for the home. Despite the big name, the South Korean company does not raise prices, trying to make its developments accessible to everyone. However, reasonable prices do not prevent the manufacturer from creating fairly high-quality and well-thought-out models, which are also very diverse. It is in Hyundai’s assortment that one can find the smallest TVs in the category, the diagonal of which does not exceed 19 inches, and giant ones of 50 and even 55 inches.

A country: Japan (produced in Russia)
Rating (2019): 4.6

JVC TVs are definitely among the most popular and beloved inexpensive devices by users, because many of them differ from other budget devices in very good quality for this class. The refresh rate index of most Japanese developments is slightly higher than that of their analogues, which ensures smoother movement of an object or character across the screen, and therefore best quality pictures in general. In addition, the JVC brand equips its TVs with decent speakers, the power of which is noticeably higher than the category average, so they sound better than their closest competitors.

A separate advantage of JVC, according to many reviewers, is the build quality and aesthetic appearance. Thin frames and neat but stable legs in the brand's TVs are combined with a basic, but still color choice. Many especially liked the JVC LT-24M585W model in its elegant white case. This color and compact 24-inch diagonal make this TV an excellent solution for the kitchen.

2 TELEFUNKEN

The best mid-range TV brands

Mid-range TVs – golden mean between economy and manufacturability. Many manufacturers that produce primarily medium-priced electronics manage to compete seriously with the most famous and well-known companies known throughout the world. This is not surprising, because their best developments often keep up with the inventions of leading brands in a number of parameters and functions, but at the same time cost several times less. Some of them can even boast a very good level of performance. complex technologies, as well as high picture quality and resolution, and sometimes a good set of useful add-ons.

Televisions from the domestic manufacturer Starwind are not as numerous and widely known as the devices of many competing companies, but this does not in any way affect their quality. On the contrary, in some characteristics they are superior to everyone else. First of all, the Starwind brand has not deprived its TVs of volume and powerful sound. This is one of the few brands that produces mid-price devices with good surround sound effects. In addition, the Starwind assortment is very diverse and includes not only relatively small Full HD models, but also large TVs with an extremely rare 4K resolution for the middle class and a large, incredibly contrasty and bright screen.

Televisions from the original Japanese company are found in a number of segments, but they are most widely represented by middle-class devices. It was these Akai models that became the golden mean, combining accessibility and support for the popular Smart TV function, which is quite rare for inexpensive devices. However, not only this allowed the company to enter the TOP of the best.

Many call TVs of this brand an excellent solution for the kitchen, thanks to the rich picture with a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees and useful additions. Moreover, the Japanese did not skimp on decent speakers, which are considered a separate advantage of modern Akai.

Best response time
Country: France - USA
Rating (2019): 4.8

Founded over a hundred years ago, the Thompson brand is the most conservative but high-quality manufacturer of mid-segment TVs. Almost all devices from this company do not have Smart TV and wireless internet, but that doesn’t make them any less in demand. The lack of popular modern functions, however, is compensated not only by a very affordable price, but also by a high high-quality image with excellent levels of brightness and contrast. At the same time, all Thompson TVs have best time pixel response in the category, as well as good overall system performance.

Despite the lack of Smart TV, many users in reviews mention very rich functionality. Unlike the most popular manufacturers, Thompson did not regret additional features even for the cheapest models. Hotel TV, timer, stop and record the program in live and other useful properties were received by all televisions.

In this guide, we look at the largest and most famous TV manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Philips, Panasonic and Sony, along with brands such as Toshiba, and Sharp.

We'll also rate premium players Loewe and Bang & Olufsen and value products.

Samsung: is it worth buying?

Being the largest and most popular television brand in Russia and, perhaps, in the world, Samsung offers a wide range of LED LCD TVs with screens ranging from 19 inches to 105 inches (267 centimeters diagonally). Although Samsung has released several TVs with plasma screen technology, the manufacturer has announced that production of these products will soon be completed.

Together with HD Samsung TVs also produces 4K or Ultra-HD models. The company has advanced technologies in the field of Smart TV and has one of the most powerful and easy-to-use platforms.

Samsung TVs performed excellently in our laboratory conditions; many models received the mark recommended by Technocontrol, including inexpensive models costing up to 30,000 rubles. Samsung often offers excellent picture quality and a wide range of different features, not all of which work flawlessly every time.

Panasonic: Until 2013, Panasonic was criticized for failures in design and quality of its products, but since then the Japanese manufacturer has shown positive dynamics of change.

While Panasonic's Smart TV functionality isn't one of the best TV brands out there right now, it's getting better. We believe Panasonic has the potential to create outstanding TVs, but the challenges and risks along the way cannot be underestimated.

Premium TV brands

If you're looking for stylish design, unusual functionality or just want to show off to your friends, then premium TV brands such as Bang & Olufsen and Loewe may be for you. However, keep in mind that these TVs are very expensive, and their quality does not always match their high price.

Bang & Olufsen: Bang & Olufsen (B&O) has a reputation for attractive and stylish designs using premium materials. His flagship model BeoVision TVs look amazing, but can cost upwards of RUB 600,000. B&O also offers mid-range BeoPlay models and a Smart TV that can be hung from the ceiling and connect to Apple TV. Although such models are cheaper than BeoVision, 120,000 rubles for the 32-inch version is not the price limit.

Loewe: Crafted in their distinctive Danish style, Loewe TVs boast premium sound quality and premium features such as a built-in video player. Hence the price for the 32-inch model, which can exceed 80,000 rubles.

Cheap TVs

In addition to large well-known brands, a large share of sales comes from cheap TVs from lesser-known manufacturers and even products from electronics stores themselves. What all of these TVs have in common is their low price, but once in the hands of our experts, they usually turn out to be of insufficient quality upon closer inspection.

Sincerely,
Technocontrol team

For many users, choosing a TV depends on many parameters, but not everyone can immediately figure out what exactly they want to buy. Any advice on how to choose the right TV for your home will definitely not be superfluous, especially when it comes to modern TVs, the range of which is so wide that even the most sophisticated buyer can get confused when coming to the store for a new purchase. Most buyers want to choose a device that can please them with its functionality for many years, but at the same time not become obsolete in moral terms. What to look for when choosing a TV? To answer this question, we provide an overview of the key criteria.

Modern TVs are very diverse, for this reason, decide which one is best suited for each specific case, it can be very difficult. First of all, it is worth finding out what type of TV will be appropriate for you, since there are currently several available options on the market depending on the type of display. Modern technologies do not stand still, and their latest achievement is LCD displays operating on liquid crystals, LED displays, in which, in addition to crystals of this type, there are also special LEDs. There are also plasma displays that operate using special gas-discharge elements. Each of these types has its own pros and cons, which are best learned about before you buy a TV.

LED and LCD

According to some experts, LCD models have a lower contrast level and produce a distortion effect when viewed from different angles, while devices with LED screens do not have such disadvantages.

Numerous reviews in 2016 indicate that preference should be given to LED TVs, which are divided into two categories depending on the backlight option - this Direct andEdge. The first option is characterized by the placement of diodes under the monitor matrix, which makes the image much brighter, clearer and richer. A modern TV of this type will cost more than analogue versions such as Edge, in which diodes are located only along the perimeter of the matrix. Inexpensive but good TV of this type is also popular not only because of the reasonable price, but also because of the small thickness of the case. Choosing an LED TV as your main home TV is an excellent and economical solution.

It is worth remembering that LCD format models also have their own significant drawbacks, including delays that occur between the output of a signal to the display and the projection of the picture - this interval was called “ matrix response" You should remember this feature when choosing a suitable TV for yourself and, when purchasing a suitable option, pay attention to it. When current is applied to the matrix, its pixels begin to produce the desired color, but not immediately, but after some time. If the response is less, then the image quality will be much better during the movement of the video sequence - this is true for TVs of any size (32 inches, 40 inches or 24 inches)

There are also plasma TVs that operate on the basis of gas flasks and differ from LCD TVs in high-quality images, brightness and contrast. They are noticeably superior to LED and LCD TVs in terms of picture quality, but they also have a number of significant drawbacks. The most important thing is considered high energy consumption, besides, numerous pixels at the base of the display tend to simply fade over time. According to all these characteristics, plasma TV is not the worst, but at the same time quite expensive option. When it comes to which TV is best to choose for yourself, the expert’s opinion on this matter is what to do right choice necessary depending on individual needs.

Projection and laser

It is worth mentioning other, less popular types of televisions, and this list includes projection TVs, which operate on the principle of cinema screens based on image projection. It is not yet known which TV is better at home theater functions, but this option is also worth considering. 40-inch projection TVs are low-priced, but their pixels can also burn out much more quickly, and the display on these devices may appear not bright enough. Another achievement modern technologies steel laser TVs are an ideal option, especially when it comes to picture quality and service life. But their cost is higher than all the options mentioned above.

The principle of operation of a laser TV

Diagonal selection

When it comes to which TV to choose, do not forget about the diagonal, since this parameter is considered one of the most important for many buyers. Many people ask the question of which diagonal to prefer: 28 or 40 inches? When purchasing a TV, you must immediately determine in which room it will be placed, since the choice of device diagonal will depend on its size.

For a small room it is better to buy a practical and compact TV, while for a large and spacious room a home theater of impressive size is perfect. If the diagonal is large enough, then such a TV should be viewed from the farthest distance possible.

The optimal distance between the viewer and the display should be much greater than the diagonal of the screen. If the screen size ranges from 14-17 inches, you can only watch such TV from a distance of at least 1 meter. There are options with a diagonal size of 24, 28, 40, 42 and 55 inches in 2016, for example, from Samsung, LG or Sony - these are among the most common. The most large displays usually do not exceed 80 inches, but they can be viewed without risk to vision from a distance of at least five meters. To ensure that you choose the right option, before purchasing you should pay attention to the following recommendations that will help you make the right choice:

• 17 inches – 2 meters;
• 25 inches - 3 meters;
• 32 inches - 4 meters;
• 37 inches - 5 meters;
• 55 inches - 7 meters;
• 80 inches – 10 meters.

If you have not yet decided what size TV to use model range 2016 is better to choose, then, according to experts, it is worth paying attention to screen resolution. The larger it is, the shorter the viewing distance will be required for the viewer, despite the size of the display. So, a 40-inch TV with 4K resolution can be watched even from a distance of 2 meters - the picture quality will be excellent.

Which brand is better to choose

The correct choice of LCD or other type of TV depends on many parameters, and the brand is often one of the main ones. Each expert argues that you should buy a device based on personal preferences, since all models of modern TV are created according to almost the same principle, regardless of the manufacturer. But many buyers think differently, since all manufacturers actually use their own own technologies

when developing certain models. To find out which brand of TV is better and to be guaranteed to choose the best one the best option
