Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S is a 55-inch smart TV of the famous South Korean brand. Price - . Has a screen resolution of 3840 × 2160, a powerful hardware that allows you to play 4K video. Having monitored the market, I found that this is not the only such proposal. I dropped the very cheap, frankly weak TVs, but HARPER 55U750TS behind and Kivi 55UR50GR behind I was interested. Will they be able to compete with the Hyundai brand? I made a detailed comparison of these three televisions and made conclusions that you will learn about at the end of the review.
This model is involved in Top Smart TVs.
Screen
Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S has a 55-inch TFT IPS matrix. Resolution - 3840 × 2160 px. Viewing angle vertically and horizontally - 1780. In terms of brightness and contrast, he loses to both competitors. But the image on the screen cannot be called bad: rich colors, high detail, dynamic scenes look natural, glossy coating protects from glare during viewing.
Appearance
Made in a restrained laconic style. Case material - black plastic, the lower part is slightly perforated. Dimensions without a stand - 1241 × 719 × 86 mm. The stand is represented by two angled legs of metal. They are not painted, in perfect harmony with the silver color company logo on the bottom of the TV. It is possible to mount on a VESA bracket 400 × 200 mm. Kivi 55UR50GR, from the point of view of design, differs in the gray color of the frame and finer execution. If you can argue about the gray frame, then the thickness of 54 mm is a clear plus.
Connectors
The following connectors are located on the rear panel: USB (2 pcs.), LAN, VGA, component, composite, mini-Jack (3,5 mm), HDMI (3 pcs.), Mini-Jack (3,5 mm), optical , CI +. Supported wireless technologies - Wi-Fi, DLNA, Miracast - an excellent set worthy of mid-range televisions. All that can be distinguished more expensive Kivi 55UR50GR - This is Bluetooth, but with the listed wireless technologies, its absence cannot be called critical.
Sound
The built-in audio system has a power of 20 watts. Dolby Digital technology has been implemented - surround sound with pronounced bottoms, one might say, excellent for an inexpensive TV. HARPER 55U750TS in this regard, very behind, and Kivi 55UR50GR It boasts only more power built-in acoustics (24 watts). This advantage, if the TV will be in a large room, for a medium-sized room, speakers with a power of 16 watts are usually enough.
Functions
Runs on Android 6.0. It has built-in DVB-S2, DVB-C, DVB-T2, DVB-T tuners, which allows you to watch digital and satellite TV channels without installing additional equipment. Available teletext, child protection, off timer, eco mode, equalizer, video recording, including time-shift, there is support for HDR. The built-in media player plays audio and video files of all known formats. If its capabilities suddenly seem small or the interface, in your opinion, is not convenient enough, you can install your favorite player from the playmarket.Surprisingly, in terms of functionality, the Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S surpassed its more expensive competitor, which does not have the function of video recording and teletext. The more interesting is the fact that the budget HARPER 55U750TS equipped with these functions.

Verdict
Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S is a great TV for the money. The only drawback is the brightness and contrast of the image. In the range of adjustment of these indicators, it is inferior even to budget TVs. This is not critical, the picture is still beautiful in the end, but it's a shame that you have to pay more for a lower quality. But the sound and functionality of this TV is at an altitude compared to its closest competitors. Price - in this case, the golden mean. HARPER 55U750TS cheaper by 4 thousand, but at the same time has weak hardware and problems with 4K playback. Overpay $ 10 for Kivi 55UR50GR justified only for those who are picky about image quality and do not need a video recording function.
