The HARPER 43F660TS TV is a widescreen TV that takes a well-deserved place among other models in the mid-price category. Why? For 15 thousand rubles, you get a device with excellent image quality, good sound, Smart TV support and Wi-Fi connectivity. I analyzed the characteristics of this model and I can say that a potential buyer has something to look at.
This model participates in the ranking of the best TVs 43 inches.
Screen
The model has a 43-inch anti-reflective glossy screen, configured with Direct LED technology. Resolution - 1920 × 1080 (FULL HD), aspect ratio - 16: 9. Average for niche TVs, but pretty good: even the picture shows itself well when running games and watching dynamic stories. Models TELEFUNKEN TF-LED43S43T2S and Polarline 43PL51TC-SM with the same price do not differ from HARPER in image quality.
Viewing angles - 178 °, refresh rate - 50 Hz. Dynamic contrast ratio - 90,000: 1, which ensures high quality color reproduction of the picture on the screen.
Appearance
The TV looks compact, the switch buttons are located at the end of the TV, which allowed the manufacturer to reduce the width of the frames. The model has a thickness of 7.7 cm. The set comes with a black stand, you can hang it on the wall: the mounting standard is VESA 200 × 200. Universal design - gloss black.
Connectors
The TV has a standard set of connectors, all of them are conveniently located on the rear panel. The list includes:
- 3 USB 3 connectors;
- 4 HDMI;
- Ethernet (RJ-45);
- Slot for CI / PCMCIA;
- S / PDIF audio (coaxial);
- PC audio (jack 3.5);
- component YPbPr;
- composite AV;
- SCART;
- antenna input;
- VGA (D-Sub).
These TVs have more USB and HDMI ports than Polarline and Telefunken. Harper also has a WI-FI connection. Bluetooth is not supported. According to these characteristics, the model is no different from its competitors.
Sound
The TV has two speakers with a total power of 20 W, surround sound is a significant plus, considering the price, since most analogs have speakers with a maximum power of 14-16 W (like Polarline and Telefunken). There is an equalizer for more fine tuning. The sound is clear enough, does not rattle when the volume is increased. By the way, it will be enough for a large room.
Functions
The model supports Smart TV based on Android 4. There is a possibility of delayed viewing TimeShift: you can stop the TV program for recording on an external medium, and later continue watching from where you stopped. The TV's capabilities are expanded by such functions as noise reduction, sleep timer, electronic TV guide, 3D digital filter. HDMI CEC allows multiple devices to communicate with each other via HDMI. Additionally, the device has 4 GB of internal memory, so that some of the content can be recorded without an external storage device.
Poraline is distinguished by a newer version of Android 7, and the Telefunken Smart TV TV generally runs on Linux, but does not differ much in terms of functionality, except that it is equipped with a built-in analysis and brightness control sensor.

After examining the features of the HARPER 43F660TS model and comparing it with its closest competitors Polarline and Telefunken, you can see that this model is more perfect in some positions. USB connectors in Polarline 43PL51TC-SM less, there is no dynamic contrast, the speakers are weaker by 6 W. HARPER is inferior to him only in the older version of Android, but this does not significantly affect the functionality. FROM TELEFUNKEN TF-LED43S43T2S - the same story: the speakers are weaker, the picture is at a similar level, there are fewer connectors. HARPER has few opportunities, but more, and all this - with a budget of 15 thousand rubles.
