Each group includes well-known manufacturers of equipment - Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony. But new models of brands Xiaomi, TELEFUNKEN, BBK and others made serious competition for them. We will find out whether it is worth paying more for a TV of a well-known brand, or you can take a device no worse, and sometimes even better, but from manufacturers who are just entering the world.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32 T2
The Chinese model from a newcomer to the TV market - Xiaomi - immediately broke into the TOP of world sales due to its low price and capabilities. But it is not fully optimized for the market - this is its main drawback. Chinese language will be present everywhere in the menu, applications, which makes it difficult to use.

Xiaomi plans to release a multilingual firmware for our market, but this is in the future.

Good screen, high-quality sound, Smart TV function make Xiaomi a worthy competitor to models Sony KDL-32RE303, TELEFUNKEN TF-LED32S39T2S or Polarline 32PL13TC-SM, but I advise you not to purchase this model yet: it is not yet fully adapted to our market, it is worth ...

The LG 32LJ500V is a well-built TV, with an excellent Full HD screen that delivers a very realistic picture, loud, rich sound thanks to Virtual surround technology. But you don’t get the whole set of functions that you hoped for, and if you take into account the price - , then I can ask a question: for what such money?

Price - ... Behind can be purchased Panasonic TX-32FSR500 with Smart TV function, excellent screen or for Samsung UE32N5300AUXRU with Smart TV function and many picture enhancement technologies.
SAMSUNG UE32N5300AUXRU
