The best TVs from this company. Choosing the best TV: review of companies and models

In this guide, we look at the largest and most famous TV manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Philips, Panasonic and Sony, along with brands such as Toshiba, and Sharp.

We'll also rate premium players Loewe and Bang & Olufsen and value products.

Samsung: is it worth buying?

Being the largest and most popular television brand in Russia and, perhaps, in the world, Samsung offers a wide range of LED LCD TVs with screens ranging from 19 inches to 105 inches (267 centimeters diagonally). Although Samsung has released several TVs with plasma screen technology, the manufacturer has announced that production of these products will soon be completed.

Along with HD TVs, Samsung also produces 4K or Ultra-HD models. The company has advanced technologies in the field of Smart TV and has one of the most powerful and easy-to-use platforms.

Samsung TVs performed well in our laboratory conditions; many models received the mark recommended by Technocontrol, including inexpensive models costing up to 30,000 rubles. Samsung often offers excellent picture quality and a wide range of different features, not all of which work flawlessly every time.

Panasonic: Until 2013, Panasonic was criticized for failures in design and quality of its products, but since then the Japanese manufacturer has shown positive dynamics of change.

While Panasonic's Smart TV functionality isn't one of the best TV brands out there right now, it's getting better. We believe Panasonic has the potential to create outstanding TVs, but the challenges and risks along the way cannot be underestimated.

Premium TV brands

If you're looking for stylish design, unusual functionality or just want to show off to your friends, then premium TV brands such as Bang & Olufsen and Loewe may be for you. However, keep in mind that these TVs are very expensive, and their quality does not always match their high price.

Bang & Olufsen: Bang & Olufsen (B&O) has a reputation for attractive and stylish designs using premium materials. Its flagship BeoVision TVs looks amazing, but can cost upwards of RUB 600,000. B&O also offers mid-range BeoPlay models and a Smart TV that can be hung from the ceiling and connect to Apple TV. Although such models are cheaper than BeoVision, 120,000 rubles for the 32-inch version is not the price limit.

Loewe: Crafted in their distinctive Danish style, Loewe TVs boast premium sound quality and premium features such as a built-in video player. Hence the price for the 32-inch model, which can exceed 80,000 rubles.

Cheap TVs

In addition to large well-known brands, a large share of sales comes from cheap TVs from lesser-known manufacturers and even products from electronics stores themselves. What all of these TVs have in common is their low price, but once in the hands of our experts, they usually turn out to be of insufficient quality upon closer inspection.

Sincerely,
Technocontrol team

It's time to create the most interesting rating we have. This time we will try to consider and identify the TOP TVs that were developed in Russia. Do you think that Russia does not develop anything and buys absolutely everything abroad? You are deeply mistaken, since our developers also create curious and interesting models that are worthy of your attention. Among them you can identify high-quality, interesting and original models that will be an excellent addition to your home. But enough talk, let’s start looking at these TVs and deciding which one is best for you.

Ruby RB-19SE5 – 1st place

So, we begin our review of the rating with the first place, which was taken by the Rubin RB-19SE5 for $126. The price of this model is not so high, but it is worth considering that the technical features of this unit are not so impressive. Although many users happily praised the low price level, proudly recalling that Russian domestic products do not cost as much as foreign ones. But is it of such quality?

As it turned out, our products are not comparable to foreign ones, so it is not surprising that users note good picture quality and color reproduction, this model has excellent sound and a good menu. What could be bad about it? As it turned out, the appearance is a little deceiving, since the plastic used for this TV was not of high quality, so the model easily bends, heats up and picks up fingerprints. Otherwise, Rubin RB-19SE5 pleases users and even makes them a little proud of their country. Surely not everyone imagined that our developers would so soon begin creating their original products on the market.

• diagonal: 19 inches;
• 720p HD.

2nd place – Erisson 32LES71T2

Do you think we can't surprise you? Then we hasten to announce the second place in our rating, which was taken by Erisson 32LES71T2, the diagonal of which is 80 cm. This indicator already inspires interest and trust in our developers, and what kind of appearance does this TV have? It does not lag behind its foreign competitors in design. Everything about this TV is strict, businesslike and convenient. What is most surprising is that users did not identify any negative reviews or problems with this model. Everything works well, responsive controls, convenient remote control, the ability to receive digital broadcasts and much more.

Particular attention should be paid to the reviews of many users who admire the fact that the Erisson 32LES71T2 has excellent image quality, which is better than that of more expensive imported TVs. And considering the not so high price of the Russian analogue, this is a very good result. Consumers praise the design, which fits perfectly into any environment and into any home, in addition, it looks quite decent and interesting. They note excellent signal reception, which allows even in the most remote villages to catch excellent images, although this still depends on the antenna. And many other convenient and interesting development elements. But there is one big problem with this TV, and it lies in its lack of popularity. Due to the low price and little popularity, people do not buy these TVs and simply pass by. And those who have already bought them are satisfied with their purchase.

• diagonal: 13.5 inches;
• the ability to receive a digital signal;
• 720p HD;
• resolution: 1366x768.

3rd place – Rubin RB-22SE5F

We continue to look for popular Russian TVs that still managed to attract the attention of users and become a part of their lives. The next model is the Ruby RB-22SE5F for $139. Again Rubin is trying to bring a high-quality model to the market, without advertising and a marketing campaign, for which there is probably simply no money. But nothing, users noticed the model and purchased it.

So, this device has excellent image quality, which is good news. Regarding the sound, everything is much worse here; you need to connect additional speakers, or even use headphones, since the standard sound is not at all suitable for watching TV shows. It is worth noting that there remains the problem of low-quality plastic on the outside of the TV, which bends, absorbs fingerprints and is quite fragile. Also, the lack of a digital set-top box to receive an improved signal is a little disappointing. As for equipment, convenience and other small details, this TV performs quite well and confidently.

• HDMI;
• diagonal: 22 inches;
• resolution: 1920x1080;
• 1080p Full HD.

4th place – Ruby RB-22SE7FT2C

Rubin is the largest and quite successful Russian company, if we take into account the development of televisions. Therefore, fourth place is also occupied by the Ruby RB-22SE7FT2C for $136. It’s worth noting right away that users have encountered a problem regarding disgusting sound. Previously, this line could correct this problem by connecting external speakers. But now there is no way to do this, since there are no special connectors for this.

Fortunately, there is a USB connector that allows you to fix this problem with simple manipulations. But at the same time, it is worth noting that devices of such poor quality were found quite rarely; many users who purchased them did not notice any problems with the sound. This time, the Rubin company created an excellent design, however, all from the same low-quality materials. Otherwise, there were no major complaints and consumers simply enjoyed the excellent functionality of this TV. The image quality is again at its best, with excellent color rendition and the most precise brightness control. If you don't believe it, just buy this TV yourself and try it out.

• resolution: 1920x1080;
• diagonal: 22 inches;
• HDMI;
• 1080p Full HD;
• ability to receive a digital signal.

5th place – Ruby RB-19SE9T2C

And our rating is closed again by a model from the Rubin company, which presented another new TV Rubin RB-19SE9T2C. The cost is $124, which indicates a low price. This time, users again cannot note the negative aspects of the TV, except that the plastic material is not of the best quality for appearance and the sound is not the best.

The design this time again did not disappoint: the picture quality has become even better, and the internal software capabilities have become more accessible. Now any ordinary user can easily update the firmware and stabilize its performance. The TV responds quickly to commands and allows you to control it without any problems. Speed ​​of operation, ease of use, high level of quality and many other positive elements. Russian developers once again prove that they are capable of creating high-quality and interesting products that need advertising. If there is high-quality and good advertising of products, then the Rubin company will certainly be a great success.

It's easy to get confused by the capabilities of modern TVs. But Yandex.Market users are primarily interested in screen size, resolution, and the presence of the SmartTV function. Based on their feedback, we compiled TV quality rating 2016.

Price - from 122,450 rubles.

For that kind of money, a TV with a 65-inch screen can’t do one thing: make coffee. It has everything else necessary for comfortable watching movies: resolution 3840×2160, Wi-Fi, Internet access, 3D, which does not hurt your eyes, digital television reception, three-sided backlighting, built-in memory of 16 GB and Android OS.

This 55-inch model (screen resolution 3840 x 2160) is slightly inferior to the tenth top TV of 2016, except that the OS is not Android, but webOS. But there is 3D (4 pairs of glasses included), 24p True Cinema function, universal remote control, Wi-Fi, SmartTV and DVB-T2 support.

6. Samsung UE48JU6450U

Price - from 57,750 rubles.

48-inch TV with Wi-Fi, the highest resolution 3840x2160 and Internet access. If what matters to you is not the presence of 3D, but the clarity and brightness of the image and good sound, then this model is perhaps the best TV of 2016.

5. LG 24MT57V-P

Price - from 14,192 rubles.

Small 24-inch TV with Full HD support, picture-in-picture function, DVB-T2 and CI+ support. An excellent option for the kitchen or garden. The downside is only one USB connector.

Who is he, the winner in the category “ the best TVs of 2016"? The rating is topped by the 49-inch model with an ideal price-quality ratio. Pros: passive 3D, DVB-T2 support, ability to watch movies from USB drives, CI+ support, surround sound and stylish silver edging. Disadvantages: no Wi-Fi and SmartTV, but decide for yourself whether you prefer them at the expense of the price.

Such is the reality of domestic retail that new TVs from leading manufacturers often appear in stores after a long and not very impressive pause. True, this same fact becomes the reason for their relevance throughout almost the entire next season, and sometimes longer. If so, we bring to your attention a rating of the best TVs of 2017 today and even with an eye on the future.

By what criteria will we choose the best TV?

In order not to go into a detailed listing of possible small details and characteristics, we will focus on the fundamental ones, on which the image quality, functionality and, ultimately, the user’s comfort and the impression that the TV will make on him depend.

Screen diagonal

This one is simple. The desired option is selected based on the size of the room, the personal wishes of the consumer and, to a certain extent, the capabilities of his wallet.

Permission

• HD-Ready (720p) - the format is frankly old and suitable only for compact models up to 32 inches;
• Full HD 1080p is still the most popular and widely available standard;
• Ultra HD (2160p), also known as 4K, is the “top bar” of high definition for most modern TVs.

HDR support

High dynamic range is the ability to bring the image on the screen as close as possible to the reality accessible to human vision. Lots of details and shades, the widest contrast levels in shadows and highlights - it’s better to see once than to try to understand in words.

Display type

• LED. Some naively believe that LCD is an old type of matrix, and the modern one is LED. However, the latter option still involves the same LCD base, but with a more efficient (brighter, more economical and takes up less space) LED backlight.
• QLED. A promising development from Samsung. Actually, at the moment it is still the same LCD matrix, but through the use of special filters on quantum dots, brighter and more saturated colors are formed.
• Nano Cell. LG offered their own alternative to QLED with the same pleasant “consequences” for the image, only Nano materials were used not as a basis for the filter, but directly in the matrix.
• OLED. The most effective, but also the most expensive technology. Actually, there is no backlight. The matrix consists of more than 8 million organic self-illuminating pixels that turn on and off completely when an electric current passes. The result is infinite contrast and perfect black depth.

In all the variety of choices, finding a suitable TV model is not easy. Even after choosing the necessary characteristics and price category, the buyer wonders about choosing a brand. There are now many manufacturers and the models, which at first glance are almost identical, have different service life.

Since now a TV is far from a cheap purchase, I want it to last not only until the end of the warranty period.

Typically, choosing a brand of equipment comes down to one of the following:

• there are other appliances of this brand in the house, they work properly, which means the TV will be of good quality;
• acquaintances, friends or relatives bought a TV of this brand, it has been working for a long time;
• a lengthy search for a lot of information on the Internet, comparing characteristics and reviews. All this takes several hours.

In fact, none of these selection methods will be 100% successful. Here, it’s more likely to be lucky or not. Reviews on the Internet are not always truthful, often very contradictory. After all, sometimes you come across a defect (without it there is no production) and a person is immediately ready to write almost an entire story about how unsuccessfully he purchased a TV.

But still, the situation is not hopeless and there are a number of brands that have already proven their superiority in the market and the reliability of their equipment over many years.

The list of different brands can be continued almost endlessly.

There are many young manufacturers who diligently monitor the quality of their products. But today we will not talk about them. We will present to your attention a rating of manufacturers of televisions of famous brands that have been delighting consumers with high-quality equipment for decades.

Statistics are also useful when choosing TVs. Of course, it will not give a clear answer to the question “which brand of TV is better?” Experts estimate sales volumes and the number of calls to service centers.

Naturally, with a large number of sales, there will be more calls for TV repairs, but this is not due to poor product quality, but because of the large number of equipment sold.

But if you compare all the statistical data as a percentage, you can simply identify the leaders in this product category.

Rating of the most reliable TV brands 2018

In 7th place are representatives of the old guard, which are almost forgotten - “Vityaz”, “Horizon”, “Rubin”, “Thomson”, “JVC”, “Sharp”.

Yes, yes, they are still being produced and even show good results. Of course, they have long ceased to please the consumer with something special.

Budget models fully justify the low cost of televisions. When choosing from them, pay attention to the companies “Thomson” and “Sharp”. Unfortunately, Rubin and JVC have a higher return percentage than the others. But if you have a larger budget, it is better to buy a model from another manufacturer.

6th place in the ranking of the most reliable TV brands is occupied by Toshiba models.

Previously quite a popular and well-known brand of TVs. The manufacturer does not lag behind others and is constantly adding new technologies and functions to its models.

Thus, one of the latest offerings is the Toshiba Places smart system. It allows each member of the seven to create and use their own account. This approach provides the best control over the content that children view. With this feature, you can be sure that your child will not see anything prohibited by their parents.

There are applications for working with the Internet and social networks, as well as many other useful functions. Access is also controlled by account settings.

The technologies presented in TVs of the Japanese brand are developed by the company independently.

5th place went to Panasonic

Here, too, there was a place for proven Japanese quality. The brand is rightfully one of the manufacturers of the most reliable TVs. And here the Japanese are not lagging behind their competitors - the company's developers have presented a new unique software called Viera Connect. Here a grid of nine frames appears on the display. There is a real-time online broadcast in the center, and other sources are located on the sides.

A simple and intuitive interface - both a child and an elderly person can handle it.

There is also an online store of applications and games of the same name. It is through this that content is downloaded.

The image quality is excellent, the modern, laconic design and reliability of the models do not allow consumer demand to decline.

Users do not note any obvious shortcomings, with the exception of defects, of course. There are service centers in almost every city.

So, asking the question: “which brand of TV should I choose at an average price?” feel free to choose Panasonic.

Philips takes 4th place

Quite budget TVs of this brand are in great demand. The technologies developed by the company are unique and very interesting. For example, the useful Wi-Fi Miracast application allows you to transfer files wirelessly, without any wires. The data here is transmitted directly and not through a router.

The Amilight LED lighting also deserves attention. It has already become the company's calling card.

Buyers love TVs of this brand for high-quality images and many useful features, all at an affordable price.

Among the shortcomings, there is a slight slowdown in the menu, but, according to experts, with such a price-quality combination, this is only a small shortcoming of the manufacturer.

Interestingly, Philips itself has not been directly involved in the production of televisions since the beginning of 2012. And the company TP Vision manufactures and promotes equipment under this brand. Over many years of work in the European market, they have earned a good reputation, but the fame of this manufacturer has not yet reached our country.

Bronze in our rating went to the LG brand

If you are tormented by the question: “which TV is better to choose in the middle price segment?”, it is worth considering the models of this brand. Excellent backlighting and the best 3D to date - all this has increased the demand for LG models significantly. It was the Korean brand that first introduced consumers to the SmartTV system. In addition to producing glorious televisions, the company also occupies not the very last places in ratings and tables of the best and best-selling household appliances.

Among the advantages of the brand they note:

• excellent service. That is, they not only produce and sell, but also provide ongoing support to their users;
• continuous movement forward. Koreans are constantly developing and implementing something new, while trying to simplify the management of equipment;
• The remote control that comes with modern models greatly simplifies working on the Internet;
• With such high quality equipment, prices are quite affordable.

There are no particular shortcomings, except that there might be a defect.

The Samsung brand received a silver rating

This Korean brand has been occupying a leading position in world rankings for quite some time. Now production has appeared in Russia (since 2010), which has made it possible to slightly reduce the cost of production. Korean brand TVs are in demand among all segments of the population.

A fairly good and multifunctional model can be purchased for 26,000 rubles.

Among the many advantages of the brand, we highlight the following:

• There are service centers in all major cities of the country. Their service is also of high quality;
• a convenient and intuitive interface makes working with the TV easier, making functions accessible to both old people and children;
• the design, as always, is top notch - stylish equipment will easily fit into any interior;
• The level of brightness and contrast is just right. This combination gives an excellent image, both static and dynamic;
• The versatility of the models allows you to diversify your leisure time as much as possible.

Many models with a combination of price and quality in different price ranges - up to 15,000 rubles, up to 30,000, and above. That is, choosing a Samsung model that is affordable and has good functionality is a completely doable task.

First place and the gold medal rightfully go to Sony

Japanese quality has always been and remains an object of admiration and desire for most consumers. Sony has long been recognized as the best TV brand, and even occasionally losing ground, remains at the top of the ratings.

Not only the exquisite design attracts many buyers, but also the unsurpassed build quality. The vast majority of modern models are multifunctional and can satisfy the desires of almost any consumer.

Models are assembled in Slovakia or Malaysia, so if there is no confidence in domestic assembly, you should pay attention to Sony. True, the prices for models of this brand are slightly higher, but you are guaranteed complete confidence in the quality of the TV.

Among the advantages we highlight the following:

• very wide range of models in different price categories. You can choose a TV of this brand for either 10,000 or 300,000 rubles - it all depends on your budget;
• customer service is excellent, in almost every city professionals will help you if problems arise with Sony equipment;
• good image quality. A realistic picture allows you to fully enjoy watching a movie.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of this brand was the high price, compared to others. Although the quality and durability of the models are certainly worth it.

Conclusion

Our ranking of the best TV brands has come to an end. The rating is not a guide to action or a clear indication of what to buy. We have simply provided statistical facts, pros and cons of various brands so that they do not come as a surprise to you.

Still, it’s up to you to decide which TV to choose.

Happy shopping and great pictures!
