Another budget TV with the minimum required set of options from the Belarusian brand. There are all the necessary connectors and even the now receding SCART connector, austere classic design and an acceptable image. All this for just ... Isn't it an option for a kitchen, a summer residence or a hotel room?
This model participates in ranking of the best TVs for the kitchen.
Screen
The 24-inch screen has HD resolution - this is a bold minus for the TV released in year. In defense of the model, I will say that even top brands today still produce TVs with this resolution, but they cost much more (LG 24MT49S-PZ – ). The closest price competitor (Leff 24H110T – ) also cannot boast of Full HD.
The aspect ratio of the SkyLine 24YT5900 is 16: 9. Backlight - Direct LED. You won’t call the ideal image, but when using custom settings, everyone can customize it to their taste. Expect something more from TV for not necessary.
Appearance
It is made of black plastic, the frame is rather thin, on its lower edge is the manufacturer's name in silvery letters. Dimensions - 549 × 365 × 160 mm. It can be placed both on the legs in the kit and on the wall using the VESA 200 × 100 mm mount.
Connectors
Equipped with such connectors: antenna input, AV, component, VGA, HDMI, USB, coaxial output, CI slot, SCART, mini-Jack (3.5 mm). You can connect any external devices to it. True, sometimes a USB hub will be necessary, since 1 USB connector may not be enough. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the connectors. The closest competitors do not offer anything else.
Sound
Acoustic system - 2 speakers of 3 W. The volume is enough for the average room. Sound quality is on par with budget TVs. For surround sound, it is better to immediately connect external acoustics or choose a TV with a price tag twice as large (LG 24MT49S-PZ).
Functions
The main function is broadcasting digital and cable television. Implemented using equipment tuners DVB-T / C. The signal catches perfectly. Multimedia TV features at the level. The built-in multimedia player plays any type of files from external media. Standard functions include child protection, sleep timer and TimeShift. A set of functions worthy of the budget segment, but if you need more functionality, then choose Smart TV, but be prepared to pay several times more.
Advantages and disadvantages
Benefits:
- image quality;
- TimeShift;
- there are all the relevant connectors.
Disadvantages:
- sound quality;
- 1 x HDMI;
- 1 USB port.
Verdict
SkyLine 24YT5900 in contrast to Leff 24H110T has a VA matrix, so it wins in image quality, but lags far behind in sound. The overpayment for a kitchen TV with the best picture, but the worst sound is inappropriate: the Leff 24H110T produces a decent IPS matrix image.
