After researching the Smart TV market, I want to offer an overview of Harper's 49-inch model - 49U750TS. Its technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, comparison with competitors will be considered. In the end, you can clearly understand whether such a TV is right for you or not.
This model is involved in rating of the best TVs 49 inches and in ranking of the best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Large 49-inch panel (123 centimeters) with trending 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels) with a refresh rate of 50 Hz, which is the PAL (European) region standard. The aspect ratio is usual - 16: 9. The viewing angle is 178 ° - it is comfortable to watch a large company, but even the option from Thomson T49FSE1170, on the cheaper - it can boast the same viewing angle, but it does not have a 4K screen resolution. According to official figures, the brightness was 300 cd / m², but the actual - 288 cd / m². Such an indicator of brightness is sufficient for comfortable viewing during the day, but in direct sunlight, the picture quality will noticeably suffer. Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 110,000: 1, this will make it possible to see details even in low-contrast scenes. Matrix with 4 color modes - Soft, Custom, Standard and Vivid. You can use any one, since they differ little from each other, and the matrix itself gives out excellent color rendering.
Appearance
This model looks alarmingly massive. The 123-centimeter panel with a glossy frame and legs, with a bright, contrast display at 3840 × 2160 pixels will immediately grab your eye. Made simply, tastefully, the frames are not very large, they do not interfere with the eye. On the left side there is a blue diode signaling the power-on state. The leg span of the stand was 104 centimeters, the TV is stable. There is a VESA 200 × 200 mount for wall mounting if there is no room for a 123 cm rectangle. There are two blocks of connectors on the back of the TV.
Connectors
The bottom block consists of a LAN port and image input / output ports - 3 HDMI (one with ARC), YPbPr component port (tulips), audio input, coaxial output.
The side unit consists of two paired USB connectors, MiniJack 3.5 for headphones, a port for a CI card, DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 inputs.
Sound
On board - two stereo speakers with a power of 8 W each (16 W - total). The sound is passable, but without bass, surround sound - a clear drawback, since even the previously mentioned Thomson T49FSE1170 has solid bass and surround sound. If we take a more expensive model, for example, Samsung UE43NU7100U, then it also has excellent sound. At high volume, the sound will not wheeze, and the TV itself will not vibrate or rattle, making a terrible noise.
Functions
Operating system - Android 6.0 with all the resulting chips (games, programs, etc.), supports Wi-Fi, CAM modules (modules for decoding paid channels) via the CI interface.
Supports 24p True Cinema function, which allows you to watch movies at the same frame rate (24 frames per second) at which they were recorded. If there is no such option, the movie will be played back at 25 frames per second.
It is possible to record video from the screen to external USB-Flash drives or to the internal memory of the TV, although in this case you only have to record to an external drive, since the built-in memory is only 5 GB, of which only 3.5 GB is available. It is unlikely that much will fit on a drive with such a volume.
An interesting TimeShift function is available on this model. While watching a live broadcast, you can rewind or pause the stream, and then continue watching from the moment where the pause was pressed. The TV at this moment starts recording (you need to remember about the small volume of the internal drive, so we recommend using an external one). And some providers sell such a function for money, everything is already provided for here.
There is also a sleep timer, which is not uncommon for televisions, and protection from children.
