4K Ultra HD TVs

There is a desire to buy 4K ULTRA HD TV? Our experts will help you.

How big can a TV be that produces crisp images and does not stretch pixels into visible squares? To solve this problem, a joint venture of several leading film studios with the sonorous name of Digital Cinema Initiatives has developed the 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) format. Compared to Full HD, in 4K ULTRA HD TV, buy which is available in our online store, there are exactly 4 times more pixels, so now you can watch movies on such a screen not from 4 meters, but from just 2 meters (meaning the minimum distance). Let's take a look at its characteristics.

Advantages of an ultra high definition TV:

1.The most important plus for which the 4K UHD TV was created is the screen resolution that breaks all known records. The line of models of such TVs, for example, from Sony, is presented in options with a diagonal of 55, 65 and 84 inches.

2. The build quality is top notch.

3. Unrivaled sound. The built-in speakers fit so seamlessly into the overall design of the TV that they are almost invisible. The main advantage of the speakers is the presence of a ferromagnetic fluid in their design, which removes sound pressure and significantly reduces distortion. This is the world's first practice of using magnetic fluid in midrange speakers, producing powerful, wide-range sound. Subwoofers on the back of the TV complete the complete home theater experience.

4. Equipped with a processor that converts lower quality video to 4K UHD format.

5. A large number of possible connections.

6. The high accuracy of the grayscale allows you to achieve the perfect image, since it is this color that significantly affects the clarity of the picture.

7. A lot of intelligent functions, the use of which is easy and understandable.

The disadvantages of a 4K UHD TV are significantly less, and they can be called shortcomings conditionally. It:

Relatively high price. Head up, gentlemen! Sony has promised a significant reduction in the cost of new items by 2016.

Non-removable speakers. Of course, they make the TV construction heavier, but the sound quality overshadows all known analogues.

Lack of content broadcast in this format. A relative minus, since content will not be slow to appear in the near future, as Tricolor has already announced.

Buy a 4K Ultra HD TV - brighten up the world!

If we compare the image of already outdated LCD TVs with lamp ones, the viewer will probably be shocked: everything is indistinct, blurry, flickers, and it is better to keep silent about the color rendition. Roughly the same effect can be observed when a third model is offered for comparison: a modern TV with Ultra HD resolution.

Ultra HD (UHD) refers to the ultra high definition digital format. Often "UHD" and "4K" are used interchangeably, but this is not entirely true. The popular 4K and just hitting the market 8K are variations of ultra-high definition.

The format comes from digital cinema, where 4096 x 2160 pixels are considered the standard for widescreen film production. In cinema "4K" is not only the resolution, but also the corresponding encoding method, bit rate and color depth

In the TV market, the meaning has changed somewhat: speaking of a 4K TV, most often it is simply a model with a screen resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels.

Why do you need 4K format?

The answer is simple: the higher the pixel density on the screen, the sharper and more realistic the image looks. 4K TVs have 8.3 million pixels on screen - four times more than standard HD. At the same time, detail is significantly increased, and the comfortable viewing distance is reduced: a 65-inch UHD TV can be watched from 2 meters away.

Finally, 4K TV is needed to watch movies and digital channels in ultra-high resolution: Netflix already works in UHD, 4K videos regularly appear on YouTube, and new movies are released, including on UHD blu-ray. According to the forecasts of American TV people, most of the world's major television companies will switch to UHD TV by 2020.

How to choose an Ultra HD (4K) TV

It's a paradox, but two models of TVs with the coveted 4K can produce images of completely different quality, and sometimes the difference between FullHD and Ultra HD is not noticeable at all. The fact is that high static resolution by itself does not guarantee a fascinating picture: the result is broken from a number of criteria.

Diagonal size

Whatever one may say, even now UHD TVs are not very affordable. Flagship prices openly "bite", so second-tier brands offer a compromise: models with advertised 4K and relatively small 32-40 inches diagonal.

There is little sense in such a purchase - you can see all the charms of 4K only on a TV whose diagonal exceeds 50 inches, and 65-inch models are considered optimal. On TVs with a smaller diagonal, the difference with Full HD will be much less noticeable, and the overpayment can be quite noticeable.

Screen type

There are two main classes of devices on the market: with LED and OLED screens. In the first case, the TV has a liquid crystal screen illuminated by compact LEDs. When choosing an LED TV with UHD resolution, special attention should be paid to the type of matrix: IPS provides the best color rendition, brightness and contrast. However, even a modern matrix does not solve the main problem of screens - mediocre black reproduction.

Let's sum up

But even in a fairly limited budget, you can find a large and bright 4K screen - and this can be confirmed by BBK 43LEX-8161 / UTS2C and PolarLine 50PU52TC-SM

It is worth choosing a TV with the functions that you will use. The same can be said about the brightness and detail of the image: our rating includes both models with conventional LED screens and those supporting advanced technologies with backlighting of each pixel. Regardless of all of the above, the presence of a UHD TV already means high definition and brightness of the image. Perhaps this will be enough for someone.

Launch of the new 65 '' Ultra HD TV

TVs with Ultra HD technology today have already gone from the original novelty to everyday, albeit expensive, technology. The multiple advantages of resolution over Full HD and high competition among manufacturers, leading to the creation of quality products, make it a reasonable choice in favor of Ultra HD.

Ultra HD or UHD TVs are high-quality technology that provides the effect of presence and makes watching movies as close as possible to the contemplation of reality. But there is a serious drawback - a small amount of content in this format.

What is Ultra HD?

This is the difference between Full HD and Ultra HD

Ultra HD is an ultra high definition digital format. It offers higher resolution than 35mm film. Ultra HD has 2 standards: 4K and 8K. UHD uses 33.2 megapixels for 8K and 8.3 megapixels for 4K. Format characteristics:

maximum resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels (8K), 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K);
frame rate: 120 Hertz;
22.2-channel sound: 9 above, 10 at ear level, 3 below, 2 for effects in the bass range.

An 8K image is four times wider and four times larger than a regular Full HD image (1080p at 1920 x 1080 pixels). This means that the resolution of UHD images is 16 times that of HD images.

What's the difference between a regular TV, Full HD and Ultra HD 4000?

Ultra HD 4000 pixels vertically and horizontally double that of Full HD

The high resolution displays high-quality images with incredible detail and color depth. However, high static resolution is not the only criterion for a comfortable viewing experience. Differences in dynamic resolution, backlight uniformity, black level, contrast, color quality, and dynamic scene reproduction play an important role. These parameters depend on the manufacturer of the TV and the price category of the equipment.

Today the market has found a "compromise point" between Full HD and Ultra HD 4000. The opinion among users is that the Ultra HD format really differs with a diagonal of at least 55 inches. The 65-inch screen is considered the golden mean. Budget models with a diagonal of 40-43 inches will not make the difference between Full HD and Ultra HD.

Rating of the best top-end 4K Ultra HD TVs for 2017

If you just want to see which of the models are most trusted by buyers, then we have prepared such a rating.
To see the cost and availability of the TV model you are interested in in your region, just hover the mouse over its name.

From this list, it's easy to choose a 4k UHD model for every size and taste. However, I recommend that you carefully read the article in order to form your own opinion and make an informed choice based on your knowledge of these modern devices.

Should you buy a 4K TV?

Until the screen diagonal exceeds 50 inches, the difference is almost invisible

Nowadays 4K TV is not a must, and many people prefer to get by with Full HD. The innovation is literally becoming an industry standard before our eyes, but the prices of the top models do not allow us to safely purchase Ultra HD for viewing at home. More budgetary manufacturers often offer "inferior" UHD, in which the quality of a dynamic picture is significantly different from a static UHD picture. Lagging and poor color rendering in cheap 4K TVs make it necessary to choose market leaders with the corresponding price.

The second problem is not enough content. Netflix offers several TV series (House of Cards, Marco Polo, The Eighth Sense and Daredevil and nature documentaries. A couple of dozen UHD Blu-ray discs are sold, 4K videos are available on Youtube. But this is not enough to saturate market.

Who really needs Ultra HD is the creators - photographers, designers, engineers, animators. UHD support is becoming increasingly important for professional and production technology today.

How to Calculate Which Ultra HD TV Screen Size to Choose?

There is a very simple formula here. If we take a rough calculation, the screen diagonal should be 2 times less than the distance from the viewer's position to the screen. For an ideal calculation, a factor of 0.535 is taken,

According to this formula, something like the following comes out. If you have 2.5 meters from the sofa to the TV, then:

2.5 x 0.535 \u003d 1.3375

That is, in centimeters, this is a diagonal of 133.75. But the diagonal of the TVs in the models is indicated in inches, so you need to divide it by 2.5, because one inch is 2.5 centimeters. So 133.75 / 2.5 \u003d 53.5. That is, at this distance, an Ultra HD TV with a 53-inch screen would be the optimal choice for you.

4k tv for ps4 pro games

Sony KD-55XD9305 delivers superb static and dynamic images

All the features of the ps4 pro (incredible image detail, brightness and realism, as well as map magnification) can only be seen on a 4K screen. One of the best budget employees for ps4 pro is Sony KD49XD8077, which costs about 80 thousand rubles. It is suitable for games in a small living room, with a diagonal of 50 inches. It is desirable that the TV has HDCP 2.2 on HDMI 2.0 and minimum Input Lag.

Samsung UE49KS7000U;
Sony KD-55XD9305 (160,000 rubles);
LG OLED55B6V (160,000 rubles).
Samsung UE55KS8000U (150,000 rubles);
Samsung UE55KS7000U (120,000 rubles);
Samsung UE49KS8000U (110,000 rubles);
Sony KD49XD8305;
Samsung UE49KS7000U (80,000 rubles);

Which is better to choose - 4k or Full HD?

4K - not just more pixels, but better color reproduction

Ultra HD (4K), or Ultra High Definition, is a big step up in image resolution. As defined by the CEA (Electronics Consumers Association), an Ultra HD TV is a device that displays a minimum of 8 million active pixels with a lower resolution threshold of at least 3840 by 2160 pixels. There are several options for 4K digital content, from 3840 by 2160 to 4096 by 3112.

3840 by 2160 is currently the most popular and we see it on most UHD / 4K TVs. Higher resolution is obtained by doubling the number of pixels horizontally and vertically compared to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), which is also recognized as the high definition standard. For small diagonals, Full HD is enough, but TVs with a screen of 55 inches and higher are definitely better to take with 4K.

How is 4K different from 1080p?

Even after 4K compression it's easy to distinguish

4K overall delivers 54 times the resolution of the standard 1080. But 4K content for home viewing will be compressed because otherwise a 2-hour 30fps movie would take 55 TB.

The difference between 4K and 1080p is clearly visible on monitors and TVs when watching movies. It is much taller than between 720 and 1080, and is especially noticeable on diagonals over 50 inches. 4K is a significant leap forward in detail and clarity. But the difference is not only in the number of pixels, but also in the frame rate, sound, image processing speed.

The ultra-thin body of the device, laconic design and double-sided lighting will decorate the interior. The 600Hz 4-core processor with 3D support brings 4K images to life. The price is only 40,000 rubles.
Samsung UE40JU6000U supports LED and 4K technologies at a similar price. Has several modes, tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-T2 and analog) and other functions.
The ultra-thin Philips 40PUT6400 features 4K Ultra HD LED technology with auto scaling. The TV supports Android 5.1 OS, thanks to Smart TV it connects to the Internet. It costs 34,000 rubles.

The budget LG 43UH610V provides realistic but vivid color reproduction and processes images faster than some expensive devices.

All models from the LG UH6xx and Samsung KU6xxx series are also popular.

4K 3D TVs

3D support is more of an original feature than a real need. The technology did not receive the expected popularity, and key manufacturers (LG and Samsung) have significantly reduced their 3D TVs, leaving them only in the premium segment.

4K 3D TVs in 2017 make up less than 10% of the total model range. Premium products include LG 77EC980V and LG 84UB980V, Sony KD-75XD9405, LG OLED65G6V and a few other models. The minimum price for 4k 3D models LG 55UF860V, LG 49UH850V and LG 55UF950V, but it is about 120 thousand rubles.

Checking 4k TV in a store

Dead pixel on the screen

The main possible defect of a 4K TV is the presence of dead pixels, which appeared at the production stage. They can be clearly seen if a uniform color is applied to the screen. Black dots will help to define a white field, white pixels - a black field. If you are looking for a colored dead pixel, you should apply a field of contrasting color to the screen and carefully examine the entire screen.

You can find pictures on the Internet in 4K resolution to determine dead pixels and overall image quality. They will also help you compare multiple TV models with the same resolution. To check the processing speed, a dynamic video with a fast frame rate is useful.

Choosing a budget 4K TV

HISENSE 40H4C ROKU TV is considered one of the best budget TVs of 2016

The higher the price of a 4K TV, the better the quality. "Low-end users" are usually much inferior to the flagships. For example, savings of 2-3 times can be due to the diagonal of the matrix (the smaller the diagonal, the cheaper the screen). If the TV will be used in a small room, a 40-inch TV is sufficient. True, on it you will not see all the advantages of 4K.

"Pseudo" 4K is also widespread, when the resolution formally corresponds, but HDMI 1.4 instead of 2.0. As a result, a full Ultra HD stream is simply not transmitted. Full 4K disc playback requires HDCP 2.2 over HDMI 2.0 support. It is also important to pay attention to input lag (image processing time), black saturation and color balance.

Chinese TVs 4k

Chinese technology is firmly occupying the budget segment. BBK and Helix offer the cheapest models up to 32 inches. Kivi and Romsat offer 43-65 inches diagonals, 4K models support Smart TV and have good color reproduction. Hisense and TCL had decent models, but now the firms have left the market.

Xiaomi Mi TV3 is the premium option among Chinese TVs. High contrast, fast response time (8ms) and excellent dynamic picture processing allow Xiaomi TVs to compete on an equal footing with market leaders.

The 4K Ultra HD TV segment is actively developing, and the technology is becoming more popular every year. But today it makes sense to take only premium models with real 4K and a diagonal of 55 inches, and they are unreasonably expensive. We advise you to take more budget options as temporary for 3-4 years, until the amount of content increases significantly. At the same time, you can wait for the reduction in price of high-quality TVs and a significant improvement in performance in the middle price range.

A little less than a year ago, we drew attention to the TV market, where at that moment a tendency for the emergence of new models with an unprecedented screen resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels was vividly emerging. We have published a small study on these models as an article.

Review of the best Ultra HD (4K) TVs. ZOOM selection

Since then, Ultra HD (4K) TVs have become a much more familiar player in the market. The number of manufacturers of such devices has exceeded a dozen, and even little-known Chinese companies and their Russian partners have appeared among them.

At the same time, there have been shifts in the factors that we wrote about in our 2013 material as constraining: this is the price of Ultra HD TVs, this is the actual need to replace Full HD with Ultra HD in a home theater environment, and this is the availability of 4K content: movies, streaming videos, TV air ...

The price no longer scares

Speaking about the price factor, we can safely say that the use of a matrix with an Ultra HD resolution in a Full HD screen is an expensive option, but not excessive. The high price for 4K TVs is due to the fact that almost all of them have a screen diagonal of at least 55 inches, and also have full 3D support and Smart TV functions in one form or another.

In comparison, the cost of Ultra HD TVs has dropped by about 35 percent. The spread of the fall - from 20% for flagship models with huge screens to 50 - for TVs with a diagonal of 55-65 inches.

Yes, now there is even DNS on the Ultra HD TV market

Finally, it should be noted that low-cost models of inexpensive brands exert active pressure on the market from below. Considering that the technology for the production of Ultra HD screens has already been worked out quite well over the past three years, original companies from the PRC have joined in the creation of 4K TVs. It is their activity that can explain the presence on the market of devices with a price of less than 40 thousand. For example - DNS H50DXT880.

Inches - unnecessary and necessary

Talking about the need to replace Full HD TVs with Ultra HD TVs within the framework of home use, then one significant change took place over the year: buyers 'requests and manufacturers' proposals found a certain compromise point. It lies in the fact that in the market, in fact, the opinion has been established that the Ultra HD format becomes useful with a screen diagonal of at least 55 inches.

See the difference? And you won't see it until the screen diagonal exceeds 50 inches

Generally speaking, when talking about the size of Ultra HD TVs, we do not see any clear standardization of diagonal sizes. However, some norms are already being drawn. So, flagship models have matrices with a diagonal of 84-85 inches. The golden mean can be considered a diagonal of 65 inches. Well, 4K models are called "small" if their screen is 55 inches diagonally. Non-standard, one-off solutions include devices with a diagonal of 39, 50, 58, 60, 70 inches. It is interesting that in the last six months on the Ultra HD TV market, the niche of "almost flagship" TV sets with a diagonal of 78 inches has begun to develop quite actively.

The Internet goes to the aid of TV air

The factor of availability of content worthy of viewing on an Ultra HD TV screen has not become less relevant over the past year, but its form, if I may say so, has softened.

Actually, content for 4K TVs can be of four types: TV broadcast, movies on disks, video from digital media (from a flash card to a streaming signal from the Internet) and videos created by yourself.

On the one hand, the deployment of on-air facilities in the Ultra HD format is proceeding slowly even in the most advanced countries: the USA and Japan. On the other hand, for almost a year now, television has been actively working with the 4K standard, filming many programs with appropriate cameras. I.e. TV companies already have an Ultra HD product - and in sufficient quantities. For example, let's say that the Comcast media concern filmed the Olympic Games in Sochi in Ultra HD format. Sony and the BBC have agreed that from now on, the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships will only be filmed in 4K. Finally, the Japanese company NTT West is ready to film the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in Ultra HD - streaming the footage immediately on the Internet.

Netflix's Ultra HD Movies Turn the US Market

The internet is a great way to quickly resolve your Ultra HD content issue. While companies tinker with Blu-ray disc capacity, new 4K codecs and HDMI bandwidth, the owner of the video storage and distribution service is just doing their job. At the end of last year, YouTube and Vimeo services allowed their users to upload and watch videos and videos in Ultra HD. And this year, one of the leaders in the US streaming market - Netflix - created a subsection with Ultra HD movies. Access to it is automated as much as possible - fortunately, almost all modern TVs with Ultra HD matrices have the Smart TV function. The user, having launched the Netflix client in the software shell of the TV, immediately gets into the cinema library with the corresponding films and series.

Finally, the field of independent production of 4K content has developed most rapidly over the past year. To this end, several camcorders, several mirrorless cameras and a sufficient number of smartphones capable of recording videos at 3840 x 2160 pixels or slightly higher were released on the mass market.

55-inch TVs

Although a 55-inch diagonal is considered the minimum for an Ultra HD TV, you can buy such devices for several reasons.

Firstly, their cost is not critically different from receivers of the same functionality with Full HD resolution.

Secondly, it is TVs of small (4K format) diagonal that can have an attractive combination of unique features and an acceptable price. It was two similar models that got into our material with a light hand of experts.

Samsung UE55HU9000T

Samsung TV UE55HU9000T () appeared on the market in 2014. This is the youngest model in the new series of Samsung TV sets, combining Ultra HD resolution and a concave screen shape. Such an unusual nuance, according to the company's engineers, makes it possible to better adapt the picture to peripheral vision and contributes to better immersion of the viewer in the events of the video sequence. It should be noted that even at 55 inches, the concavity effect is quite noticeable and has a positive effect on the overall viewing experience.

The position of the junior model - but within the flagship line - obliges Samsung UE55HU9000T to have a lot of high-tech options and capabilities. So, the TV is equipped with four ports HDMI version 2.0 - this means that data transfer to its video path is possible at a sufficient speed to provide a picture in 4K with a frame rate of 60 images per second. Recall that earlier HDMI specifications have a peak bandwidth that does not exceed 30 frames per second (for Ultra HD resolution).

The Samsung UE55HU9000T has a well thought-out built-in audio system. It consists of six speakers with a total power of 60 watts. This allows the TV owner not to worry too much about buying a stand-alone speaker.

Finally, Samsung UE55HU9000T fully fits into the manufacturer's stated concept of developing SmartTV capabilities. To work with the smart platform, the TV is equipped with a special remote control that supports gestures and voice recognition.

Toshiba 55ZL2

Toshiba 55ZL2 TV () has already been noted by our experts in the material a year ago. This model is interesting for its advanced approach to 3D shaping, which, thanks to an additional layer of microlenses, can be seen on the screen without glasses. The area of \u200b\u200bconfident stereo image is small, however, the system can track the position of the viewer relative to the screen and tries to optimize the video sequence as much as possible.

In addition to the Smart-functions of the Toshiba 55ZL2, there is access to a proprietary cloud service for storing a media library.

Over the past year, the device has become more than twice as affordable in price and is now one of the best models combining UltraHD resolution with high-quality 3D display.

65-inch TVs

The Sony Bravia KD-65X9005A TV is another guest from our 2013 material. Since then, the device has dropped a third of its cost, which makes its merits even more significant (note that last year Sony sold a similar TV set for this amount - but with Full HD resolution).

Even when turned off, Sony Bravia KD-65X9005A attracts attention - the company's designers have put a lot of imagination and effort to turn the front surface of the device into a work of art. The result of their work was an engineering solution that combines a single glass surface and speaker wells. The latter are also sealed in glass - which became possible thanks to the use of a ferromagnetic fluid instead of a diffuser vibration damper.

From the list of advanced technologies included in the functions of the TV, we can mention the support for the HDMI ports of the specifications of version 2.0 (this happened thanks to the new firmware) and the support of the remote control for synchronization with various mobile devices via the NFC channel.

Sony Bravia KD-65X9005A

The image quality, Full HD to Ultra HD interpolation, stereo image and sound from the Sony Bravia KD-65X9005A still remains, if not advanced, then extremely decent. Even the best current 2014 models can't compete with this TV. Especially when it comes to a set of parameters, their overall balance and ratio with the cost of the device.

The Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600 TV, new to the market, really deserves the attention given to it by our experts. The device was first demonstrated in the second half of 2013 at IFA 2013 and was positioned there as a modern and versatile solution for the home.

The technological advantages of Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600, first of all, include the screen on the IPS matrix, the color reproduction of which is being adjusted at Panasonic factories. This thoroughness is marked by the ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) certificate, which says a lot.

The Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600 is designed with a large number of ports and additional components to give the TV versatility. So HDMI ports natively support version 2.0. Paired with HDMI, the TV has a DisplayPort version 1.2a for seamless connection to Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600 computers.

Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600

SmartTV functions, traditionally including the Skype video chat client on the Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600, have special support in the form of a built-in Web camera. Finally, the wide possibilities of playing media files involve connecting media not only to USB ports, but also installing flash cards into the built-in SD slot.

Finally, it should be noted that Panasonic Viera TX-L (R) 65WT600 has two digital tuners that allow parallelizing the processes of viewing and recording broadcasting, as well as responsible for the full implementation of the picture-in-picture mode. It should be said that a year ago, the installation of two tuners was considered almost the norm in the Ultra HD TV market. However, today such models have to be searched for purposefully.

The quality of video content now plays a huge role, and viewing it in high definition requires an advanced TV. At the moment, 4K models are actively spreading, capable of giving incredible image clarity and picture saturation. The 15 best 4K TVs of 2019 were selected for our ranking.

Now we will tell you what you need to pay attention to when choosing a new TV: diagonal, brand, number of connectors, bells and whistles, technical characteristics and of course the price.

Which diagonal should you choose?

The main question for many people sounds like this - which diagonal is better to choose for your room in an apartment or house? This question is better answered by the table below and, of course, your budget.

In this table, you can see the approximate data on how far from the screen viewers should sit. Just multiply these numbers by it, that is, make it squared as the size of your apartment or house is considered (4 * 5 \u003d 20 sq. M).

Here is a list of the most needed connectors for a modern TV:

USB 3.0
Ethernet (LAN)
Digital audio output

Without these little things, it is difficult to imagine a comfortable viewing of your favorite films and TV series, as well as games.

Smart TV

If all this is present in your giant, then you shouldn't pay for the rest of the bells and whistles!

Which 4K TV Company to Choose?

The question is very important and I will try to clarify it as clearly as possible and without any unnecessary words. There are only 3 companies in this market - they are LG, Sony, Samsung. Each of them is good in its own way, but each also has drawbacks, which we will talk about a little later, all these companies are the main manufacturers of technology for TVs. If we take all brands of TVs as 100%, then Samsung - 50%, LG - 30%, Sony - 5%, the remaining 15% are divided among all other manufacturers.

Well, perhaps everything you need to know to choose a Smart TV, it remains to help you only with the rating of the best 4k TVs of 2019. Where we have divided the best models according to different diagonals. Well, you just have to decide on the model you need and we will start with 43 inches.

It has a pleasant interface and guarantees comfortable use of all the necessary applications. The picture frequency is 100 Hz, so there is no doubt about the smoothness. Powerful 20W Dolby Digital speakers are installed inside for an immersive atmosphere. Well, if you want a super picture and are ready to shell out 65,000 rubles, then we recommend this model QE55Q6FNA, the difference between them is quite large, it runs on a more powerful processor, but most importantly, the matrix is \u200b\u200bQLED with a frequency of 200 Hz.

Pros:

Narrow bezels on the sides of the screen;
Support for many technologies that improve the image;
Powerful processor;
Dolby Vision, HDR 10.

Minuses:

The leg of the stand is flimsy, not rotating;
LG's app store is poor choice compared to Android;
Insufficient remote control.

Best 4K TVs 60-65 inches

Here are the most advanced 4K TVs with a huge diagonal from 60 to 65 inches. Such a device should only be installed in a large room to watch movies at a comfortable distance. Still 165 centimeters in diagonal is no joke. In addition, these TVs cost a lot of money, so be prepared to pay 100,000 rubles or more.

4th place - Sony KD-65AF8

The retail cost of this model is approaching the level of 200,000 rubles, but it fully fulfills the funds spent on it. The TV's minimal bezels are framed by a beautiful OLED matrix that reproduces all possible colors very accurately. To raise the quality in dynamic scenes, the Acoustic Surface technology of 50 W is used, and a smooth transition from frame to frame is provided by Motionflow.

The X1 Extreme processor literally flies, and the TRILUMINOS Display technology itself chooses the color gamut for a particular scene. The build quality should also be noted. She's just top notch.

Pros:

Built-in memory16 GB ;
Fast processor;
Voice control;
Price.

Minuses:

No bluetooth;
The sound is very mediocre;
The Android TV interface is not very convenient.

Therefore, the picture quality will definitely not disappoint anyone, because this is an OLED TV. It runs under the webOS operating system.

Pros:

Attractive design;
Good color rendering;
Wi-Fi 802.11ac;
Convenient OS;

Minuses:
