It remains one of the most budget-friendly 4K TVs out there, so I claim the Mi TV 4S 43 is the best money can buy today.

Samsung UE40NU7100U is an ordinary TV, unremarkable for its price. Worthy competitors - LG 43UK6200 and Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 43... The price difference is minimal, but I would prefer the Xiaomi Mi TV 4S because it runs on Android TV.
Sony KDL-40WD653
Inexpensive Japanese brand TV with Full HD screen resolution. If you compare it with older models of the manufacturer, you can pay attention that he completely lost the buttons on the case: it is controlled only by the remote control. An interesting performance indicator is the screen refresh rate (200 Hz). For comparison: in direct competitors, this figure is 60 Hz. This advantage is observed in dynamic scenes, games, where frequent updating of the picture is the norm. When viewing simple video files, 200 Hz are not felt. The picture deserves the highest rating. With the reproduction of content from external media or sites does an excellent job. All the necessary connectors are there, the basic functions work.

For those who agree to wait and save money, I suggest paying attention to more expensive models: they clearly have advantages.

An interesting model that, at a price of 34 thousand, can compete with TVs of famous brands even twice as expensive. Has a matrix resolution of 4K, supports HDR. The viewing angles are excellent, the picture is good regardless of the viewing angle. Brightness (250 cd / m22) seems insufficient to some users, but this is subjective.

Cheap Polarline 50PU11TC-SM upon availability to pay for Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S I still would not recommend.
Philips 55PUS6262

Of the interesting offers in this range - Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55... It is more expensive by ... If the issue of saving is acute, then you can take Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S.
Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55
Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55 is a representative of the 4S line of the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi. Above, we have already considered the 43-inch representative. Mi TV 4S 55 does not differ in anything except the screen diagonal.

If savings of $ 40 are important, buy Philips 55PUS6262... You can also pay for the brand: in some ways branded TVs are even better, but from a position of economically reasonable purchase, Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55 will still be the best choice.
LG 55SK8100

Sony KD-55XF8096
The Sony KD-55XF8096 screen is simply gorgeous. It has 4K resolution, supports multiple HDR formats, including HDR 10 and HLG. Like the smaller TVs we talked about earlier, it has a built-in processor that increases the video resolution in real time. Matrix depth - 8 bits + FRC. Theoretically, it should produce no less colorful picture than the matrix of the 10-bit LG 55SK8100. In practice, a simple inexperienced user will not notice the difference even at a wide viewing angle. Triluminos display and Motionflow technologies are used. As an operating system, the TV uses Android TV 7.0. Over time, it should update to version 8.0. Therefore, I will not even talk about the unlimited multimedia capabilities of the model.

Its advantages are a frameless display, One connect technology, excellent sound quality and the ability to create a Smart Home. But it's not worth the overpayment Unless, of course, you plan to use the TV as a home theater.

QLED matrix with a resolution of 4K HDR and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 40 W speakers with two subwoofers, a frameless screen with Ambient support, a set of all modern options and applications. Smart TV based on the proprietary OS Tizen 4.0. Remote control - One Remote Control, support for Smart Home technology. The ability to control from a smartphone and voice commands. But the “trick” of this TV is the innovative technology of connecting external devices One Connect. There are no connectors on the case - they are all placed in a separate box, which is connected to the TV with a single functional cable (it is also a power cable). The idea is brilliant, especially if when planning the design, a place was taken into account to hide external devices. In their place, you can define the One Connect module. The convenience of connecting external devices, flash drives is obvious. But if we talk about the price of the TV, then you can spoil the overall impression of it. Not everyone can afford to spend almost on the technique.
Benefits:
- QLED matrix;
- Q Engine
- frameless screen;
- thoughtful ergonomics;
- original stand;

Samsung QE55Q7FNA is a great option for home theater. Viewing any content, demanding complex games will not confuse this TV. The quality of the picture will please even the picky users - no flashes, perfectly black and more than a billion colors without the risk of matrix burnout. The sound will appeal to the most biased music lovers, you can relay it to other devices via Bluetooth. In general, if the budget allows you, then feel free to purchase this model. Sony KD-55XF8096 - A good alternative for those who want to save money, but he still can not compete in quality and functionality with the Samsung QE55Q7FNA.
Best 65-inch Smart TVs
TCL L65P6US
TCL L65P6US is the oldest model in the P6 line of the Chinese manufacturer. Price - . The 65-inch matrix of this model with 4K resolution, HDR support will not impress with a vivid picture, but thanks to the MICRO DIMMING technology, an excellent contrast ratio, it is pleasant to watch. The sound quality is average: you can hardly do without external acoustics, although the diagonal of such a TV simply obliges it to be used as a home theater. Smart TV - based on the LINUX OS. There is its own App Store with a good selection of applications. The one who first turned on Smart TV, by and large, will have enough built-in browser and media player, online applications, services. The remote control in the kit is large, not quite convenient. Alternatively, you can control the TV from your smartphone.
Benefits:
- Large diagonal - 65 inches;
- matrix resolution - UHD;
- affordable price;
- frameless screen;
- the presence of built-in tuners of all formats of TV broadcasting;
- the ability to control from a smartphone;
- built-in App Store;
- convenient remote control.
Disadvantages:
- weak built-in acoustics;
- 2 USB sockets;
- turns on for a long time;
- video player interface;
- uncomfortable connectors when placing the TV on the wall.
For a price less this 65 inch tv is even too good. High-quality picture, built-in tuners, wireless technology, worthy of Smart TV. You can only find fault with the sound quality, but the problem is solved by connecting external speakers.
Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro It’s also not bad in its own way, but it’s rather intended for multimedia content, there are no built-in tuners, but it works on the basis of full-fledged Android TV.
Nevertheless, I think the TCL L65P6US is more universal: you can watch television on it, and its multimedia capabilities are gorgeous. Therefore, at about the same price, I would take it, although I usually vote with two hands for Android TV. If you are a fan of this operating system and you do not want to switch to another, then Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 will be a good choice.
Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro
Another inexpensive offer from the Chinese. Asked for him about . The TV runs on Android TV with a proprietary MIUI TV shell. Artificial intelligence can analyze user requests and recommend content according to his interests. A feature of the TV is the lack of digital and satellite broadcast tuners. It is impossible to watch television in normal quality without additional equipment. You can use an alternative option - IPTV services. But, I think, few will resort to this option, since access to high-quality high-resolution content on this TV is almost unlimited. The ideal image of the matrix with a resolution of 4K, support for HDR, surround sound, basic functions. But the most interesting is "under the hood." The speed of the TV, the ability to work with many applications at the same time provides the ARM-Cortex A-53 processor with a frequency of 1500 MHz. Real-time image quality is monitored by the ARM Mali-450 graphic chip. 2 GB of RAM type DDR 4, 16 GB of internal memory. It remains a mystery to me how Xiaomi managed to put all this into the price of a TV.
Benefits:
- Original design, very thin frames.
- The image is bright, the detail is excellent, the color conveys correctly.
- Ergonomic remote control, voice control.
- Convenient Smart TV with personalized recommendations.
- Reasonable cost.
Disadvantages:
- The sound is weak.
- In dynamic scenes there are trains, jerks.
- The build quality of some users is doubtful, there are gaps between the frame and the matrix.
- The legs are not credible.
Xiaomi today is definitely the best brand in terms of offering innovative technology at a reasonable price. Well, judge for yourselves: powerful hardware, artificial intelligence based on Android TV, great picture, surround good sound. All this is 3 times cheaper than the most popular brands. For example: Sony KD-65XF9005 costs . I definitely recommend buying Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro for those who do not want to pay for the brand. TV is suitable for home theater.
Sony KD-65XF9005
The advantage of this TV is the 4K X reality Pro processor. With it, any image becomes ideal in real time. The color depth of the matrix is 10 bits.

It is justified, I will not recommend saving, because you simply will not find anything like that in the range of up to 160 thousand, and saving a couple of thousand in this case is not practical. But there is also a more expensive offer from Samsung - the QE65Q9FNA model. What is it better?
Samsung QE65Q9FNA
Frameless TV of the mid-price segment in the top line of the company. It pleases with a 4K HDR matrix, proprietary Q Engine technologies, Q color, Q contrast. The manufacturer’s cheaper models are also equipped with these technologies, but in this case, everything is much more interesting. The special coating of the film of the Ultra Black Elite matrix makes it really anti-reflective, and the image on it makes it even more contrasting and saturated.
