Budget Smart TV up to 15,000 rubles: great luck or stingy will pay twice

As soon as you think about buying a TV, be prepared to hear unfamiliar words: QLED and OLED, 4K, pixel count and curved screen, 3D technology and Blu-ray.

My budget of 15,000 rubles, swept aside the need to learn half of these terms. For this money, the store can offer a solid LedTV, one of those that pensioners or budget Smart models have not yet disassembled.

The benefits of smart technology

Choosing a TV with Smart-TV technology, we solve many problems:

· No need to install set-top boxes, only an antenna is needed to receive conventional digital broadcasting;

· The ability to connect to a home wi-fi network, which for me is the most important factor in the purchase;

· VGA interface and multimedia HDMI to connect a laptop for watching movies or playing games;

· USB ports for flash drives, keyboards and headphone output.

My price niche has narrowed the selection down to a few models:

· Samsung T24H390SIX is a good smart TV, includes all the functions described above. Price: 14,990 rubles.

The only negative is a 24-inch TV, suitable for the kitchen, but not for the living room;

· Telefunken TF-LED40S11T2S - a model that also meets the wishes and has a diagonal of 39.5 inches. Price: 14,490 rubles.

Small minus: no-name, for me this is an unfamiliar trade mark;

· LG 40LK56 - TV from a Korean manufacturer, with a diagonal of 101 cm and a price of 15,290 rubles. It was on him that my choice fell.

Characteristic

TV with a sleek black design: narrow display, wall mounts included. The size is suitable for a small living room in an apartment.

Led monitor and matrix 8 bit (16.7 million) - means average quality color depth. For budget TVs it is quite acceptable.

Movie and online broadcasts, youtube, TV tuner, 2 HDMI outputs and 2 USB ports are available.

Advantages and disadvantages of the model

We have already talked about the unambiguous advantages: Internet access and low price.

Minuses:

· It can be difficult for older people to understand even such a simple interface, applications sometimes "hang", especially at low Internet speed;

· It is inconvenient to type the name of a site or a movie using the remote control, since the budget model does not provide voice dialing. Also missing bluetooth connection. The only way out is a wired keyboard.

With this value for money, I think the purchase is quite successful. Which would you prefer, an affordable TV or a more modern model on credit?
