After researching the Smart TV market, I want to offer an overview of Harper's 49-inch model - 49U750TS. Its technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, comparison with competitors will be considered. In the end, you can clearly understand whether such a TV is right for you or not.
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 49 inches and in Best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Large 49-inch panel (123 centimeters) with trending display resolution - 4K (3840 × 2160 pixels) with a refresh rate of 50 Hz, which is the PAL (European) region standard. The aspect ratio is familiar - 16: 9. The viewing angle is 178 ° - it is comfortable to watch a large company, but even the option from Thomson T49FSE1170, 5 thousand rubles cheaper - it can boast the same viewing angle, but it does not have 4K screen resolution. According to official figures, the brightness was 300 cd / m², but the actual - 288 cd / m². Such an indicator of brightness is sufficient for comfortable viewing during the day, but when exposed to direct sunlight, the picture quality will noticeably suffer. Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 110,000: 1, this will make it possible to see details even in low-contrast scenes. Matrix with 4 color modes - Soft, Custom, Standard and Vivid. You can use any one, since they differ little from each other, and the matrix itself gives out excellent color rendering.
Appearance
This model looks alarmingly massive. The 123-centimeter panel with a glossy frame and legs, with a bright, contrast display at 3840 × 2160 pixels will immediately grab your eye. Made simply, tastefully, the frames are not very large, they do not interfere with the eye. On the left side there is a blue diode signaling the power-on state. The leg span of the stand was 104 centimeters, the TV is stable. There is a VESA 200 × 200 mount for wall-mounting if there is no room for a 123-centimeter rectangle. At the back of the TV are two blocks of connectors.
Connectors
The bottom block consists of a LAN port and image input / output ports - 3 HDMI (one with ARC), YPbPr component port (tulips), audio input, coaxial output.
The side unit consists of two paired USB connectors, MiniJack 3.5 for headphones, a port for a CI card, DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 inputs.
Sound
On board - two stereo speakers with a power of 8 W each (16 W - total). The sound is passable, but without bass, surround sound - a clear drawback, since even the previously mentioned Thomson T49FSE1170 has good bass and surround sound. If we take a more expensive model, for example, Samsung UE43NU7100U, then it also has excellent sound. At high volume, the sound will not wheeze, and the TV itself will not vibrate or rattle, making a terrible noise.
Functions
Operating system - Android 6.0 with all the resulting chips (games, programs, etc.), supports Wi-Fi, CAM-modules (modules for decoding paid channels) via the CI interface.
Supports 24p True Cinema function, which allows you to watch movies at the same frame rate (24 frames per second) with which they were recorded. If there is no such option, the movie will be played back at 25 frames per second.
It is possible to record video from the screen to external USB-Flash drives or to the internal memory of the TV, although in this case you will have to record only to an external drive, since the built-in memory is only 5 GB, of which only 3.5 GB is available. It is unlikely that much will fit on a drive with such a volume.
An interesting function TimeShift is available on this model. While watching a live broadcast, you can rewind or pause the stream, and then continue watching from the moment where the pause was pressed. The TV starts recording at this moment (you need to remember the small amount of internal storage, so we recommend using an external one). And some providers sell such a function for money, everything is already provided for here.
There is also a sleep timer, which is not uncommon for TVs, and child protection.

The presence of Smart TV also tends towards buying, which will save you from buying consoles with their monthly payment, and Android with its abundance of various programs. The TV itself is powerful enough, there will be no freezes. But the sound, which does not impress even the average layman, but this can be avoided by connecting an external audio system. In the same way, the problem of a small volume of internal storage is solved by connecting an external one. The device for its low price compared to competitors really shows the level of premium devices. If you need a high level of technology, but the price stops you, this option is great.
