Polarline 50PU11TC-SM - a low-cost domestic-made TV with Smart TV, a 50-inch LCD screen and less cost . According to its characteristics, it is good from all sides. Android TV 7.0., 4K UHD, HDR, video recording are a small part of its capabilities. The closest price competitor that caught my eye is BBK 50LEX-7027 / FT2C almost 5 thousand more expensive, runs on the old Android TV 4.4, has a resolution of FULL HD.
This model is involved in Top Smart TVs and in ranking of the best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Diagonal - 50 inches, this is one of the popular options. The screen is glossy. The picture on the screen is bright, but the surrounding objects on the matrix are reflected, which significantly spoils the impression of the image. Some users note excessive image contrast. The viewing angle vertically and horizontally is 178 degrees.
For a budget TV, the screen is decent, but judging by user reviews, BBK 50LEX-7027 / FT2C look much more pleasant.
Appearance
The model is made in classic black color, with a thin, as for a state employee, frame. The design is strict, from the distinguished elements - a brilliant logo of the manufacturer below, in the center. Dimensions - 1134 × 662 × 92, which is not bad for budget equipment. BBK 50LEX-7027 / FT2C only 1 mm thinner. In the rear part there is a protruding casing, on the lower edge of which technical connectors are located.
Connectors
The model is equipped with a full set of modern connectors. In addition to antennas, for broadcasting and digital broadcasting, it has inputs USB (2 pcs.), LAN, VGA, component, composite, SCART, mini-Jack (3.5 mm), HDMI (3 pcs.), And outputs: mini- Jack (3.5 mm) headphones, coaxial (SPDIF), slot for CI / PCMCIA. Here, the Polarline 50PU11TC-SM can compete with mid-range televisions.
Sound
The Polarline 50PU11TC-SM speaker system is 2 speakers of 8 watts each. From a volume position, this is enough for an average room. The vast majority of mid-range televisions are equipped with speakers of such power. In terms of sound quality, I have a number of complaints about the Polarline 50PU11TC-SM - it is very flat, with an absolute absence of low frequencies. But I think that the budget employee can forgive this disadvantage, because for the savings you can buy external speakers. This is what most TV owners cost up to , since units of them produce relatively high-quality sound, and BBK 50LEX-7027 / FT2C does not apply to them.
Functions
In terms of functionality, Polarline is not inferior to its direct competitor BBK 50LEX-7027 / FT2C and some more expensive models. Smart TV based on Android Android 7.0, built-in digital tuner DVB-T2, satellite tuner DVB-S2, USB media player with support for most formats of audio and video files, images, a browser for accessing the Internet, including wireless Wi-Fi Fi You can record video even with a time shift.
With all the variety of functionality, the hardware part leaves much to be desired. Users note a slowdown when watching videos online, flicker when watching a video in 4K format. But all state employees sin this. I do not think this is a big minus, but to play games, or watch videos in high resolution, you need another option.

Verdict
The Polarline 50PU11TC-SM is worth its price. For home viewing of terrestrial and digital television channels, it is almost ideal. A viewer inexperienced with high-tech novelties can save money and buy this TV. If high quality of image and sound, viewing 4K video without slowing down or flickering is important, then it is better to pay attention to TVs of the middle price segment costing over , eg, Hyundai H-LED55U601BS2S or TCL L55P6US... There are no TVs with powerful hardware among state employees.
