12 best 4K TVs

An alternative to the above Samsung from another South Korean brand LG. The design of the TV is quite interesting, but in its own way. Here the frames are slightly more noticeable, but neat, made of metal, which clearly gives the screen some elegance. In functional terms, everything is fine, while the price tag is not particularly annoying.

The display is based on the IPS matrix of the company's production with direct Direct LED backlight. Therefore, watching TV comfortably from almost any angle.

This 4k TV is not Dutch, despite the well-known logo, but a product of Chinese (Hong Kong) company TP Vision, produced in Russia. It refers to the budget series PUS6500, and the presence of some sort of “smart” platform on the Saphi OS separates it from a completely initial level. With relative stability and convenience, such a Smart does not shine with multi-functionality, so you should not expect miracles.

The model is not bad in quality, here is a surprise, a classic television receiver, a display for playing high-quality content with 4K or Full HD resolution. There is support for the extended dynamic range of HDR10 and HLG video formats. Matrix - IPS, backlight type - Direct LED standard type.

Excellent and without any Q particles 4k TV 2019. According to the classification of the manufacturer and the corresponding alliance, it belongs to the Premium UHD class, but we then proceed from the fact that the true elite is the 9th series, and if it is the 8th, then at least QLED. And the price tag more or less corresponds to the average range, although the high cost of the Russian assembly sometimes causes bewilderment.

The picture on the screen is really happy. Matrix - high quality VA with Ultra HD resolution of 3840x2160 px. For the 49th diagonal, the frequency is 60 Hz, the bit width is 10 (8 + FRS) bits, the image enhancement index is PQI 1900. For large screen versions 55ʺ, 65ʺ - 120 Hz, pure 10 bits and 2500 PQI, respectively. Backlight type, regardless of size, Edge LED.

The absence of quantum dots is adequately compensated by Dynamic Crystal Color technology and the efficient operation of the new UHD 4K graphics processor. TV can be considered an ideal option for gamers, due to the low latency of the output image, the presence of a special game mode.

The fact that the company LG "ate a dog" on the development of OLED technology is a well-known and indisputable fact.However, quantum dots, in this case the term “nanoparticles” is used, were also not overlooked and were embodied in Nano Cell displays installed on 4K SUPER UHD TVs.

That is the honorary title are representatives of the line SK8100. External distinctive features: stylish minimalist design with a thin seamless body (LED-backlight - Edge), an image with incredibly vibrant colors. At the heart of the screen is a 10-bit IPS matrix. Native update rate - 60 Hz for the 49th diagonal, 120 Hz for versions 55ʺ, 65ʺ, 75ʺ.

Proprietary technology LG Cinema HDR significantly expands the boundaries of perception when viewing premium content, shot in standard HDR10, HLG and more advanced formats Advanced HDR, Dolby Vision.

Further, in the ranking of the best 4k TVs - a remarkable model in the status of SUPER UHD TV. Quantum dots, nanoparticles - it does not matter. The principle is the same; only LG uses the technology called Nano Cell and implements its own 4K IPS matrix. There is an older version of the SK9500, but, to be honest, significant differences are noticeable only to the most sophisticated aesthetes, but the difference in the price of thousands in the 9-10 way is visible to everyone without exception.

Display parameters: color depth - 10 bits, frequency - 120 Hz, backlight - high-performance full-matrix Full-Array Dimming Pro (Slim Direct LED). The number of local dimming zones depends on the selected screen diagonal: 36 for 49ʺ, 48 for 55ʺ and 65ʺ.Such a system makes it possible to achieve from IPS panels of decent black depth and contrast, which is not inclined to that, and to reproduce HDR content in HDR10, HLG Pro, Advanced by Technicolor, Dolby Vision with greater accuracy and detail.

Television 2018 release, is incredibly popular with true connoisseurs of high-quality and realistic image. Not cheap, but beautiful, high-tech. And the brand itself is still very prestigious, damn it! And let Sony no longer do the matrix itself, but it can make the purchased “Korean” show almost perfectly.

In this case, the KD-55XF9005 model is equipped with a 10-bit 4K VA VA-panel. Illumination system - Direct LED with full LED array (Full-Array Local Dimming). There are 48 local dimming zones. The X1 ™ Extreme powerful graphics processor, which provides excellent picture detailing, low-resolution scaling to a level comparable to 4K HDR content quality, manages this economy.

Brand technologies: Triluminos Display, Live Color (real vibrant colors), X-tended Dynamic Range ™ PRO (exceptional contrast ratio) fulfill their mission in full. Sony TVs are sometimes blamed for the weak development of dynamic scenes, so here you can forget about such a problem, thanks to X-Motion Clarity.

A solid brand, in accordance with modern Japanese tradition, took the 4K OLED panel with an absolute black filter from LG Display and combined its excellent qualities with its own technologies, having managed to achieve in the literal sense of the perfect image. It’s even weirder to sometimes see negative reviews about the Panasonic FZR800 on the web, which, however, can hardly be called objective.

Improve the graphical characteristics of the input signal is designed processor Studio Color HCX. The stunning color accuracy is due to the unique 3D LUT system. Interestingly, the Panasonic in terms of brightness when playing HDR loses the LG C8, but in terms of overall detailing it looks somewhat preferable.

A kind of "spoon of tar" can be recognized only by the limitations of the smart platform My Home Screen 3.0. It is stable, fast, there is a voice assistant, but, alas, no variety of applications, such as Android. Conclusion: The Panasonic TX-65FZR800 is an ideal base for a serious home theater, but it’s not an option for an autonomous multimedia center. However, the functionality is easy to share through a good TV box.

If the ideal contrast and black depth are the initial properties of the OLED Master Series screen, then in the case of absolute optimization, a significant role is assigned to the X1 ™ Ultimate super-productive processor. That, in conjunction with the technology of Pixel Contrast Booster ™, significantly improves the original parameters of the picture, making it as detailed and accurate as possible, and Triluminos Display forms not just living, but the most real colors in life, like in life, with an incredible abundance of shades.

Directly, the screen surface has the ability to transmit acoustic vibrations and is ready to act as the central speaker of a home theater.
