SKYLINE is a line of inexpensive Belarusian-made TVs with the necessary minimum set of functions. Previously, the Horizont production holding company assembled televisions of such brands as Prestigio, Daewoo, HARPER, Panasonic. This, in turn, indicates a well-established production process and quality assurance. Therefore, I became interested in the SkyLine 32YST5970 model, sorted out all the pros and cons of this TV, and am ready to share my verdict with you.
This model is involved in Top Smart TVs.
Screen
Diagonal matrix SkyLine 32YST597 is 32 inches, resolution - HD, backlight - Direct LED. The aspect ratio is 16: 9. Brightness - 230 cd / m2, contrast - 70,000: 1, viewing angles - 178 degrees. The picture as a result is not bad, but when viewed from a short distance, graininess is observed, excessive contrast with insufficient brightness, but for you are unlikely to find anything better. Thomson t32rtl5140 look more nice but he stands on expensive.
Appearance
The design of the TV is classic, the screen is framed by a thin black plastic frame, the materials and assembly are of high quality. At the back there is a protruding casing with connectors. The TV is mounted on its feet or mounted on the wall using the VESA 200 × 200 mm bracket.
Connectors
SkyLine 32YST597 has the following connectors: component, VGA, 3 HDMI, 2 USB, Ethernet (RJ-45), coaxial output, CI slot. Wi-fi supported. The location of the connectors is well thought out. For ease of use, 1 HDMI, AV and 1 USB are located on the side panel. The only question I have left is: why is there no headphone output?
Sound
The sound of the device is loud - 2 speakers of 10 watts. There are a number of complaints about its quality. The “surround sound” declared by the manufacturer is not sustained, the sound comes with a predominance of high frequencies, quite sharp, even unpleasant. But in budget televisions there is no high-quality sound. Thomson t32rtl5140 doesn't sound much better, but costs 1,500 more. Good sound Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32but its price is already higher .
Functions
In terms of functionality, this TV can hardly be called innovative, it has a good built-in media player, browser, but the weak hardware and the old version of Android TV do not allow modern multimedia functions to fully manifest themselves. However, for an inexperienced user, his capabilities will be enough - he can play any files from removable media and online resources, although with some slowdown. Moreover, he will cope with his appointment - broadcasting TV channels. For this, it provides a DVB-T / T2 / C tuner. The sensitivity of the tuner leaves much to be desired - you need to immediately purchase a good antenna with an amplifier.
Of the necessary functions there are progressive scan, sleep timer, child protection, PVR with TimeShift.
Thomson t32rtl5140Having almost the same functionality, it works faster. From cheaper TV I can name Polarline 32PL13TC-SM. The difference - in functionality and speed is almost not felt, and the price - on below.

disadvantages

conclusions
SkyLine 32YST597 is not bad only from the position of price. A good TV for a kitchen or hotel room, but has a number of significant drawbacks. In general, I think you can save and buy Polarline 32PL13TC-SM. If you need a TV with high image quality and tolerable sound, you have to pay a minimum and buy Thomson t32rtl5140.
