JVC LT-24M585W is a representative of the class of 24-inch TVs. Most often, these are installed in the kitchen or used as a monitor. The assembly of this Smart TV is organized in Kaliningrad. Its main advantage over competitors is price. On average, it is offered for 9,500 rubles. Although this is one of the lucrative offers on the market, the money is still considerable, so I propose to understand and really evaluate the capabilities of the TV.
This model participates in ranking of the best Smart TV TVs.
Screen
JVC LT-24M585W has a diagonal of 24 inches, a classic aspect ratio of 16: 9 and HD resolution. The latter makes it unsuitable for use as a monitor, but it is still a good option for a budget kitchen. The screen is bright, without glare, Direct LED backlighting, there is a progressive scan, viewing angles - 160 and 150 degrees. The indicator is not very good, but it is enough for a kitchen TV. If this criterion is important, pay attention to Thomson T28RTL5240: the difference in price is minimal, and the viewing angles are already 178 degrees.
Appearance
The design is attractive, the thin bezels are made of white plastic. The manufacturer's logo is applied on the bottom edge. The back of the case is also plastic in white. There is a stand, can be mounted on the wall. Dimensions - 551 × 368 × 180 mm. The TV isn't thin, but the looks are commendable. For example, the closest price competitor Thomson T28RTL5240 looks boring, made of plastic in classic black color.
Connectors
There are all the necessary connectors - an antenna jack, 3 HDMI (1 side + 2 back), 2 USB (1 side + 1 back), 3.5 mm headphone output, component video input, LAN, coaxial audio output, CI slot. Wi-Fi supported. I personally would like to add another USB port for easy mouse and keyboard connection. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the connectors to the TV.
Sound
The JVC LT-24M585W sounds good. Dolby Digital technology has been implemented. At the same time, it goes somewhere in the wall, users note that it is better to listen to it from the side, and if you sit directly in front of the screen, then already a few meters away from it the sound becomes blurred, volume is lost. Thomson T28RTL5240 sounds better.
Functions
The functionality of JVC LT-24M585W is practically unlimited, there is a Smart TV running Android TV 6.0.1, built-in tuners DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C. To watch terrestrial and cable TV, no additional equipment is required, just connect the antenna. You can browse sites using a LAN cable or wireless Wi-Fi. The built-in media player handles most of the known formats, and if something suddenly doesn't play, you can install a third-party player on Android. An interesting option is the ability to write to a USB flash drive, even on a schedule and with a time shift. Wi-Fi Direct as opposed to Thomson T28RTL5240 absent.
Benefits
- Low price;
- nice design;
- sufficient functionality;
- Smart TV based on Android;
- Time Shift;
- convenient location of connectors.
disadvantages
- HD resolution;
- poor quality sound;
- the operating system takes a long time to load;
- Play Market is not installed;
- the set of pre-installed applications is too small;
- the remote control is insensitive, you need to point it directly at the TV.
conclusions
Considering the low price, JVC LT-24M585W is a good option for a kitchen or hotel room: interesting design, decent picture, excellent functionality, built-in tuners. But if the size of the room allows, I would recommend a 28-inch Thomson T28RTL5240: the price difference is only 1000 rubles, but the screen size is larger, the viewing angles are increased, the sound is much better. If you are considering exclusively the option with a diagonal of 24 inches, I can recommend the Samsung T24H390SIC. It costs, of course, more expensive, but it has a FULL HD resolution, viewing angles - 178 degrees, high-quality sound.
