LG 32LM6390
In the first place in the small TV section is the 2019 model of the release of a laconic stylish design with thin frames. Provides an exceptionally natural, deep and vivid picture. The latest image processor automatically corrects colors for richer, more natural images and improves contrast.
With Active HDR, each frame is optimized for more detail and deeper colors. Thanks to the multi-HDR format, which includes HDR10 and HLG, combined with LG's dynamic frame-by-frame technology, you can enjoy any video content in superb HDR quality. Two speakers with a total power of 10 W with support for Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, thanks to which the sound becomes multidimensional and rich, which is similar to the sound in a cinema.
The feature of the model is LG ThinQ AI technology, which opens up many new possibilities for voice control. Speech Recognition allows you to maintain a dialogue with your TV and receive personalized recommendations according to your preferences. Smart TV on the webOS platform provides all the benefits - online cinemas, YouTube, applications. Like many LG models, the TV comes with the LG Plus Channels option. It provides access to over 200 channels (30 channels are always available free of charge). This does not require the connection of an antenna or other equipment. The TV is equipped with a large number of connectors. The front panel has HDMI and USB. It can read files of almost any format from external media.
Benefits:
- Excellent picture quality.
- Good sound.
- Flexible settings.
- Nimble Smart.
- Reads all formats.
- Anti-glare screen.
Disadvantages:
- Thick (85mm).
- The legs are flimsy. They are located at a wide distance, which requires a large area.
- The Magic Remote is not included in the package (voice control only from it).
The cost of LG is 22,000 rubles. This model has excellent equipment to improve picture quality. The image comes out really sharp, realistic with deep colors and details. 95% of owners of this model recommend it for purchase. Of the minuses, a rather thick case can be noted (30 mm thicker than that of Samsung UE32M5500AU). It is inferior to the latter in terms of sound power.
Samsung UE32M5500AU
In second place is Samsung UE32M5500AUreleased in 2017. The manufacturer has developed many technologies, thanks to which it provides accurate color reproduction, depth and contrast of the picture. Ultra Clean View technology uses a new algorithm to analyze the original content and generate high-quality images with minimal distortion. The Contrast Enhancer function adjusts the clarity of image fragments on different planes, transforming a flat image into a three-dimensional one.
Micro Dimming Pro technology divides the screen into zones, analyzes the shades in each and improves color reproduction, therefore, in both light and dark scenes, the image remains as clear and bright as possible. The Purcolour function is responsible for the realistic color gamut. The strong point of the model is the built-in audio system consisting of two 10 W speakers with support for Dolby Digital Plus surround sound technology.
With the Smart View option, you can connect a smartphone to the TV and watch content from it on the screen. You can also control it through your mobile. Smart TV on Tizen opens up even more possibilities. Control external devices connected to your TV with one universal One Remote Control. And with voice control, you no longer have to manually change channels. It should be noted separately that this model is very narrow - only 55 mm (the best indicator in the rating). Besides HDMI and USB, there is an AV connector on the front panel.
Benefits:
- Quality materials. Reliable build.
- Great image.
- Loud balanced sound.
- Good Smart.
- Stable stand.
Disadvantages:
- Some users have noted the instability of Wi-Fi.
- Not the most convenient remote control.
Samsung's $ 25,000 delivers high quality images. Unlike LG, it has a more comfortable stand that allows it to be placed on a narrow cabinet, has a surprisingly thin screen, and is equipped with twice as powerful speakers. But it costs 3000 rubles more.
SkyLine 32U5010
The third place in the rating in this section is taken by a simpler model from SkyLine. It does not provide technologies for improving image quality, but provides a good quality picture. For this, it has a good indicator of brightness (230 cd / m2) and contrast. In comparison with the leaders, it has a smaller number of connectors, differs in a larger body thickness - 95 mm, the absence of decoders to improve the sound quality and make it three-dimensional and realistic.
Benefits:
- Bright picture with normal color display.
- Good viewing angles.
- Convenient management.
- Cost.
Disadvantages:
- Shallow black (grayish in dark scenes).
- The frame is made of thin plastic (although the body is durable).
- Few settings for use as a monitor.
- Small highlights in the corners against a dark background.
You might wonder why this TV made it to the top? It's simple, the cost of SkyLine is only 9,000 rubles. For the price, this is a great budget option for a 32-inch Full HD TV. Yes, there are a minimum of functions, but at the same time a good image quality. If we compare with the leaders, which cost 3 times more, then it loses to them in the realism and detail of the picture, is inferior in volume and volume of sound, does not have a Smart TV. But if the TV is taken to a dacha or kitchen, then this is the best that can be found for such a price.
