An interesting offer from the Russian company Polarline, which sells Chinese TVs under its own brand. This is a beautiful model with an LCD screen, Internet access based on Android, high-quality, powerful sound for comfortable viewing of programs or films. A TV with an interesting design will interest potential buyers in terms of “functionality - price - quality”.

This model participates in rating of the best TVs, at the rating of the best TVs 32 inches and in rating of the best Smart TV TVs.

Functions

SmartTV - TV capabilities are comparable to a computer - web browsing, video, games. The smart functionality is based on the Android OS. Many free applications can be installed, even games.
