For quite a long time, television has ceased to be a miracle of technology, it is found in almost every home. There are a huge number of models of various types on the modern market, and new products appear almost daily, the production of which uses the latest technology.
So that you do not get confused in the variety available, we decided to write a rating of the best inexpensive TVs of 2019. However, before moving on to a direct analysis of specific models, let's look at what such products are like, what additional options and capabilities are in it. You should not buy devices with too many functions, since you will have to overpay for them, but they are unlikely to be useful and suitable. So let's get started.
Summary of the rating:
What do you pay attention to when purchasing an inexpensive TV?
A competent selection of the model is influenced by a huge number of various parameters, and in most cases the issue of cost is far from the first place. Be sure to pay attention to the type of screen, since it is from it that the picture quality will directly depend. There are practically no CRTs on sale today, as this technology is already very outdated. It was replaced by liquid crystal products, which are characterized by a very reasonable cost, relatively good image quality and natural color reproduction. However, such screens are prone to fading, so it is strictly forbidden to install them under direct sunlight, otherwise spots will appear on the screen.
LED screens are provided with LED backlight matrix, which makes them very thin, in addition, such products consume significantly less energy and are also characterized by a fairly high image quality. There are also plasma constructions that allow you to get a very clear picture, do not fade during operation, however, in any case, they will differ in decent overall dimensions - the minimum diagonal is 32 inches, in addition, they consume a lot of electricity.
Laser technology is one of the most modern, such screens consume a minimum of energy, have a very long service life, but it is very expensive. Screens can be flat or concave - the first type on sale is most common, they are inexpensive, therefore they are very widespread. Concave screens allow you to fully immerse yourself in what is happening, with their help an effect of presence is created, but they will cost much more.
A very important parameter is the diagonal of the screen, since on the market today you can find models with sizes from 14 to 110 inches. Choose this factor depending on the size of the room, as well as on the intended purpose. If the TV will hang in the kitchen and is intended only for watching news in the mornings and evenings, then a diagonal of 26-28 inches will be enough. For a home theater, it is advisable to purchase a model larger than 55 inches and above. Pay attention to the screen resolution - the clarity of the image will directly depend on this moment.Today you can meet four varieties - HD, Full HD, Ultra HD 4K, Ultra HD 8K. Sound quality is also very important, as it will affect the comfort of viewing programs. The total power of the stereo speakers should be at least 20 watts.
When choosing a new TV, it will not be out of place to find out the number and purpose of various kinds of connectors, since through them you can connect various additional devices - hard drives, game console, webcam, headphones and so on. In most modern models, there are various additional options - 3D, Wi-Fi support, anti-glare, picture-in-picture and so on. However, too many possibilities bother literally after several months of use, as users themselves note.
When developing our review of the best low-cost TVs, we took into account all the points discussed earlier, and also drew attention to user reviews and the price / quality ratio of the device. We tried to collect the maximum information for each model, so that after studying the rating you can determine exactly which TV is most suitable for you.
