Best price

This Russian-made TV is 14% cheaper than the next-priced competitor.

  • Average price: 11195 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Screen: 40 inches, 1920x1080, VA, 60 Hz
  • Smart TV: yes
  • Acoustics: 2 speakers 10 W each
  • Weight: 5.5 kg

This TV stands out among budget 40-inch models with a stylish design: it is thin, light, with almost imperceptible bezels around the display. Despite the fact that it costs less than 15,000 rubles, there is a Smart TV that runs on the best Android TV operating system in terms of functionality. Also, buyers will appreciate the loud and clear sound, complemented by digital noise reduction. The presence of all popular ports, including HDMI, USB, antenna and headphone jacks, will also be a plus. True, some of the inputs are located at the back, which makes it difficult to get close to them, especially if you hang the TV on a bracket. The downside of an inexpensive TV is the inconvenient gear menu.

Pros and cons
  • light weight
  • Thin bezels
  • Quality sound
  • Smart TV at a low price
  • Takes a long time to turn on
  • Inconvenient location of some ports

The lightest TV

This is the lightest TV on our list. It weighs only 5.7 kg, which is what 32-inch models usually weigh. Thanks to its reduced weight, this TV can be hung on a plasterboard wall.

  • Average price: 14090 rubles.
  • Country: South Korea
  • Screen: 40 inches, 1920x1080, VA, 60 Hz
  • Smart TV: no
  • Acoustics: 2 speakers 8 W
  • Weight: 5.7 kg

Inexpensive TV with good performance. On a diagonal of 40 inches, you can see the pixels if you look at the screen up close, but from a comfortable distance of several meters, the picture is of high quality, looks solid. The model is distinguished by light colors - this is one of the few TVs in the budget up to 15,000 rubles, which merges perfectly with a light interior. Reviews confirm that the device is good for its money: the image is of high quality, there are enough inputs. The built-in tuner is rather weak, so if you want to catch a lot of channels, you will have to spend money on an external device. Users say that this is one of the best TV to give.

Pros and cons
  • Thin bezels
  • Light body design
  • Weak reception
  • No adapter for "tulips"
  • There is a large distance between the legs, so a wide pedestal is needed

TV screen refresh rate - which is better?

A popular question from users is what screen frequency is better? It is logical to assume that the higher the screen refresh rate, the better. But not everything is so simple.The frequency value indicated in the characteristics (100, 200 Hz, etc.) is just an image processing index, the quality of which depends on the “stuffing” and the technologies used in the TV (processor power, matrix response, etc.). Often, in budget models, the indicated 300 Hz or more can be a common marketing ploy.

High refresh rates are required to better display dynamic scenes. A high-quality screen with a frequency of 200 Hz should correctly give a smoother picture than a screen at 100 Hz. To watch 3D movies, experts recommend taking TVs with a refresh rate of at least 400 Hz, and for 2D scenes, only 100 Hz is often enough.

Over 300 people have reviewed this budget TV.

  • Average price: 12999 rubles.
  • Country: Belarus
  • Screen: 40 inches, 1920x1080, S-MVA, 60 Hz
  • Smart TV: no
  • Acoustics: 1 speaker at 8 W
  • Weight: 6.15 kg

Inexpensive stylish TV available in white and gray housing. For a price of less than 15,000 rubles, users get FullHD resolution on a 40-inch diagonal. This is enough for standard needs, but you should not expect anything special from the model: there is no Smart TV here, and the budget matrix does not provide the most juicy color reproduction. But the TV is quite light and stands steadily on two legs that come with the kit. Also, customers like the convenient viewing of TV programs. But the quality of the acoustics is unanimously called mediocre: one 8 W speaker is not enough for a large room. Also, of course, we are not talking about surround sound.

Pros and cons
  • Sufficient Resolution
  • Low price
  • stable legs
  • Mediocre sound
  • No Smart TV

4K at a low price

This inexpensive TV produces a high-quality picture, allowing you to watch content even in 4K.

  • Average price: 14899 rubles.
  • Country: Belarus
  • Screen: 40 inches, 3840x2160, VA, 50Hz
  • Smart TV: yes
  • Acoustics: 2 speakers 10 W each
  • Weight: 8 kg

Great budget TV with great picture quality and clear sound. The manufacturer claims the ability to view video in 4K, but some buyers write that in reality the resolution is lower. In addition, there are backlashes in the case. I also had to save on the refresh rate, which is why when viewing dynamic scenes you can notice twitches. But an inexpensive TV is equipped with Smart TV, but buyers write that applications sometimes freeze due to lack of RAM. The big advantage of the model is the high sound quality: two speakers provide good volume, and a total power of 20 W is enough even for a fairly spacious living room.

Pros and cons
  • 4K support
  • Spacious and clear sound
  • Low refresh rate
  • Little RAM

Most versatile

It is convenient to watch both TV channels and movies on the Internet on this TV.

  • Average price: 17999 rubles.
  • Country: Belarus
  • Screen: 40 inches, 1920x1080, VA, 60 Hz
  • Smart TV: yes
  • Acoustics: 2 speakers 8 W
  • Weight: 5.66 kg

An excellent inexpensive option that is suitable for watching both television programs and movies on the Internet.The first is due to the fact that the tuner catches both cable and digital channels well, and the second is due to the presence of Smart TV and a fast connection to Wi-Fi. Judging by the reviews, the picture is of high quality, but the resolution and refresh rate are standard for this price category, so you should not expect miracles. But the acoustics do not suit many buyers: the total power of 16 watts is not enough for a spacious living room. In addition, the sound is not too clear, so if the TV will be used as the main one, it is better to buy speakers separately. Another disadvantage is the periodic freezes of Smart TV.

Pros and cons
  • Good picture
  • Gets Wi-Fi fast
  • Mediocre sound
  • Lagi Smart TV

How to choose a TV?

Choosing a TV seems like a very simple task: if you like the picture, take it. But in reality, everything is not so simple, and therefore we have prepared a couple of useful rules for you.

  1. Decide on a diagonal. Just buying the biggest TV is not the best idea. Estimate the size of your room and how far you will watch TV.It is believed that this distance should be three times greater than the diagonal.
  2. Permission. Do not even look at TVs with a resolution less than FullHD. If the budget allows, take 4K - we change TVs relatively rarely, and there will be a lot of suitable content in 2-3 years.
  3. Matrix type. OLED and AMOLED matrices show true black color and have a uniform backlight. With conventional LED panels, everything is exactly the opposite. Otherwise, the difference is little noticeable.
  4. SmartTV or regular. Built-in Smart TV will allow you to watch movies in online cinemas, play and surf the Internet. But a TV without it is cheaper. In addition, you can buy a media set-top box with more advanced functionality for this.
  5. Sound. If possible, listen in a quiet room. The sound of most TVs will satisfy the average user, but sophisticated moviegoers will have to buy an audio system.
  6. Watch TV before buying. Banal advice, but some do not follow it when buying in online stores. Remember! Monitors and TVs need to be personally viewed before buying, because everyone has a different visual perception.
