LED TVs are the best
Choosing household appliances is not an easy task. This is especially true of the TV, which is going to the whole family. In stores and the Internet there are a huge number of promotional offers from various companies, which are not easy to deal with. Moreover, each brand of TV receiver has its advantages and disadvantages, which you need to know about in advance. So, the topic of today's conversation: LED TVs are the best models. Consider the selection criteria in more detail.
to contents ↑Diagonal
Choosing the diagonal of the LED device, take care, first of all, that it does not have a harmful effect on the eyesight of family members.
Important! Diagonal is measured in inches. In terms of a more familiar centimeter system, 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters.
Even if you know this, it does not hurt to re-evaluate the comfort of viewing the image from a distance of 2 to 4 m. Compare several models and choose the one that will best suit your wishes:
- Standard diagonal 32-inch LED TV.
- A 40-inch device is suitable for a room with an area of more than 25 squares.
- The latest modifications from Samsung have panel size from 55 up to 105 inches with a huge number of related gadgets: wi-fi adapter, WEB camera, 4K resolutions. There is also image support in 3D format.
Matrix
The screen resolution depends on the type of matrix. This is the main indicator that determines the clarity of the image:
- The optimal screen resolution is 1366x768 pixels.
- Comfortable viewing in HD-quality is possible with a resolution of 1920x1080.

Brightness and contrast
These indicators determine not only the quality of the picture, but also eye fatigue. Too much contrast and bright image does not have the best effect on vision. A good option is models with automatically adjusted brightness, depending on the lighting in the room. Moreover, this does not greatly affect the cost of equipment.
to contents ↑Important! Pay attention to models marked 800: 1. This means that the bright zone is 800 times different from the dark. This ratio is considered optimal.
Viewing angle
This indicator plays a significant role if the upholstered furniture is not located directly opposite the television screen, but a little to the side. Some models with this “side” viewing lose image quality, lose not only in contrast, but also in the visibility of the picture.
In modern models, this problem is completely solved, the magnitude of the viewing angle is close to 178 degrees. Pay attention to this indicator so that you do not try to sell a morally obsolete model. And how to correctly verify this parameter when installing a new TV panel in your home, read in our separate publication “TV viewing angle”.
to contents ↑Acoustics
Modern television technology is equipped with a built-in sound amplifier, which helps to get rid of loss, trembling or wheezing. The minimum requirements for a television speaker system are a 2-way system and 4 speakers. Column size - not less than 60 mm.
to contents ↑Important! Sales consultants often operate on an indicator such as speaker power, but in fact, power affects the sound quality to a small extent.
Response time
This indicator determines how quickly the crystals of the screen respond to image changes. The shorter the response time, the better the model. The desired value of the indicator is 2 ms.
to contents ↑Connectors
Familiar standard SCART connectors are not enough. When purchasing a TV, do not forget that you may have to connect a variety of types of equipment to it: camcorders, players and cameras.
The best cable for connecting is AV. However, this is not the only opportunity to connect the device. At present, the European standard Scart, with which all new models are equipped, is popular. Pay attention to how the connectors are located so that access to them is as convenient as possible. The most frequently used should be in front.
to contents ↑Important! The more inputs, the better. This is true if, for example, you want to connect several devices at the same time.
Manufacturing company
It is advisable to give preference to products of well-known companies. As for prices, different companies have different policies. For example, LG TVs, “Samsung” and “Philips” are pleased with the optimal balance between quality and value.
And Sony products often have a high cost without any special features. It’s available - the payment is only for the brand.
