Budget TVs outwardly almost do not differ from expensive ones. The main differences lie in the technical characteristics:

  • in the budget segment, you can’t find a TV with an OLED matrix, so you can’t avoid light;
  • “Smart TV”, if any, is slower, as the manufacturer is forced to save on the processor and the amount of RAM;
  • the case is not so durable - the plastic is thinner, there may be backlashes and gaps;
  • ultra-budget models are often endowed with low resolution - HD. But in the inexpensive price segment, you can even find models with 4K - we found these and included them in the rating.

In the ranking, we have collected the best inexpensive TVs that you should not be afraid to buy because of the too attractive price. In the descriptions of the models, you will read the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal, find out what cool innovative technologies can be found in an inexpensive TV and why they are good. For ease of selection, we have divided TVs into three categories based on screen size. The category of models with a diagonal of 22-24 inches is limited to a budget of up to 15,000 rubles. TVs of 32-39 inches from our rating cost no more than 22,000 rubles, and models with a diagonal of 40-43 inches do not go beyond the budget of 27,000 rubles.

    You can also add Philips 40PFT4101. Decent device for the money. Although I personally would save another 3000 and take the LG 43LJ515V.
