For $ 220, you get a device with excellent picture quality, good sound, Smart TV support, and Wi-Fi connectivity. I analyzed the characteristics of this model and I can say that a potential buyer has something to look at.
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 43 inches.
Screen
The model has a 43-inch anti-reflective glossy screen, configured with Direct LED technology. Resolution - 1920 × 1080 (FULL HD), aspect ratio - 16: 9. The average indicator for niche TVs, but pretty good: even the picture performs well when starting games and watching dynamic stories. Models TELEFUNKEN TF-LED43S43T2S and Polarline 43PL51TC-SM with the same price do not differ from HARPER in image quality.
Viewing angles - 178 °, refresh rate - 50 Hz. Dynamic contrast ratio - 90,000: 1, which ensures high quality color reproduction of the picture on the screen.
Appearance
The TV looks compact, the switch buttons are located at the end of the TV, which allowed the manufacturer to reduce the width of the frames. The model has a thickness of 7.7 cm. The set comes with a black stand, you can hang it on the wall: the mounting standard is VESA 200 × 200. Universal design - gloss black.
Connectors

These televisions have more USB and HDMI ports than Polarline and Telefunken. Also Harper has a WI-FI connection. Bluetooth is not supported. According to these characteristics, the model is no different from its competitors.
Sound
The TV has two speakers with a total power of 20 watts, surround sound is a significant plus, considering the price, since most analogs have speakers with a maximum power of 14-16 watts (like Polarline and Telefunken). There is an equalizer for more fine tuning. The sound is clear enough, does not rattle when you increase the volume. By the way, it will be enough for a large room.
Functions
The model supports Smart TV based on Android 4. There is the possibility of delayed viewing TimeShift: you can stop the TV program for recording on an external medium, and later continue watching from the point of stopping. The capabilities of the TV are expanded by such functions as noise reduction, sleep timer, electronic TV guide, 3D digital filter. HDMI CEC function allows multiple devices to communicate with each other via HDMI. Additionally, the device has 4 GB of internal memory, so that some of the content can be recorded without an external storage device.
Poraline stands out with a newer version of Android 7, and Telefunken Smart TV TV generally runs on Linux, but it doesn’t differ much in functionality, except that it is equipped with a built-in sensor for analyzing and adjusting brightness.

After examining the features of the HARPER 43F660TS model and comparing it with its closest competitors Polarline and Telefunken, you will notice that in some positions this model is more perfect. USB connectors Polarline 43PL51TC-SM less, there is no dynamic contrast, the speakers are weaker by 6 W. HARPER is inferior to him only in the older version of Android, but this does not significantly affect the functionality. FROM TELEFUNKEN TF-LED43S43T2S - the same story: the speakers are weaker, the picture is at the same level, there are fewer connectors.
