A 40-inch TV with Smart TV is a great option for a summer house where there is Internet access, as well as for a kitchen, nursery and bedroom. The screen size is optimal for small rooms. Watching movies and TV shows on such a TV is best from a distance of at least 1.6 meters. But there is a problem: there are fewer and fewer decent 40-inch TVs and Smart TVs. This is because Samsung, LG and Sony have stopped producing models with this screen size due to falling demand. This niche was occupied by the Chinese and local nouns from Russia and Belarus.We reviewed over a hundred different 40-inch TVs and Smart TVs, found the best deals and collected them in our top.

The most popular

This model is interested almost twice as often as the next most popular TV from our top. The statistics are taken from the Yandex.Wordstat service.

  • Average price: 28063 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Screen: 1920x1080, VA, 60Hz
  • Sound: 2 speakers 5 W
  • Weight: 8.1 kg

This TV is worth buying for those looking for the best 40-inch model. Well-known brands are focused on the production of devices with large diagonals, so you can’t find a worthy competitor to this Sony 2016 release. The device is still relevant: Internet speeds are high, the image is of stable quality, the sound is excellent. Smart TV is based on Linux, and some users lack functionality, but most are still satisfied with the standard set of features. So, there are many built-in and, importantly, necessary applications. The black color in the frame looks really black, but the angle of view is less than the declared 178 ° - it is approximately 145 °. Even this range is enough to comfortably watch movies and TV shows in the kitchen.

Pros and cons
  • Intense black color
  • Quality Image
  • Picks up channels well
  • Small viewing angle
  • High price
  • Dimming in the corners, visible on a light background

Top 9. HARPER 40F720TS

Rating (2022): 4.25
Accounted for 15 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, DNS
  • Average price: 18993 rubles
  • Country: China
  • Screen: 1920x1080, VA, 60Hz
  • Sound: 2 x 8W speakers
  • Weight: 6.0 kg

A good TV for giving, where the Internet pulls. A model with a fairly functional Smart TV, but due to a lack of RAM, it works slowly. Wi-Fi is available only at 2.4 GHz, but the communication module does not provide sufficient speed for online viewing of content in Full HD. Smart TV is based on the Linux operating system, and its main drawback is the limited selection of applications. There are enough of them, but, for example, there is no Kinopoisk, but there are Ivi, Megogo and YouTube. The sound is completely devoid of bass, and when the volume is increased, a hum may appear. The device itself works correctly, but the build quality of the case is not ideal - for example, there may be a gap between the frame and the screen.

Pros and cons
  • Good VA matrix
  • Light
  • There is a built-in memory of 4 GB
  • There is a hum at high volume
  • Limited selection of apps on Smart TV
  • Can't watch online movies in Full HD

Top 8. BBK 40LEX-7272/FTS2C

Rating (2022): 4.25

  • Average price: 16329 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Screen: 1920x1080, 50Hz
  • Sound: 2 speakers 10 W
  • Weight: 5.6 kg

The only 40-inch TV in our top that obeys Alice. Moreover, it works on the Yandex.TV platform.This is a promising axis, which is still raw and lags behind Android TV, Tizen and webOS, but is primarily interesting for its voice control through Alice. Specifications are pleasing: here and Full HD resolution, and excellent 10-watt sound, and Bluetooth is available, and wired headphones can be connected. "Smart TV" works without lags, but there is not enough choice of applications - while the operating system limits the ability to install third-party programs, but it develops, and its functionality grows from update to update.

Pros and cons
  • Supports Alice control
  • Excellent value for money
  • budget cost
  • Limited choice of applications
  • Does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi

TV, which is called one of the best among 40-inch models with Smart TV. It looks great, with fairly narrow bezels. The remote control is informative, compact and convenient. The picture quality pleases: Full HD, anti-reflective coating. There are enough wired interfaces - there are three HDMI ports, Ethernet and two USB connectors. The only significant drawback of the device is a weak sound. It is not well balanced and without the effect of volume, so it is better to connect external acoustics if sound quality is important to you. If you are looking for a budget 40-inch model with an optimal price-performance ratio, take a closer look at this TV.

Pros and cons
  • Good image quality
  • Large set of ports
  • Informative remote

  • Country: Belarus
  • Screen: 1920x1080, VA, 60Hz
  • Sound: 2 speakers 10 W

Budget TV made in Belarus. It is very popular, as the ratio of price and quality is optimal. Despite the low cost, the 40-inch screen demonstrates a beautiful Full HD picture with correct color reproduction. Wi-Fi catches well, does not lose connection, speeds do not sag. Smart TV is slower than big-name competitors, but you don’t have to wait a long time to launch the application. A more important drawback of the software is that Android is the seventh version here, it is already outdated. The stock legs are too wide. The owners also complain about unbalanced sound - there is little bass, and someone does not have a USB port.

Pros and cons
  • good matrix
  • Excellent Wi-Fi
  • Stuttering when changing channels
  • Raw software with lags
  • Not enough bass

The screen is 40 inches, so the TV is great for kitchens and bedrooms. Owners and experts agree that the image quality is excellent for the money. But users have complaints about the functionality of Smart TV: the controls are inconvenient, nothing can be downloaded from the Market, applications are only from Sharp, but there is no browser.

  • A high resolution
  • Increased hertz
  • Quality picture
  • Narrow functionality of "Smart TV"

Excellent 40 inch TV in terms of price and quality. The Chinese manufacturer has provided wide functionality at a low price.

  • Country: China
  • Screen: 1920x1080, VA, 60Hz

One of the best 40 inch TVs. It is more expensive than most of the representatives of our rating, but worth the money requested. First, it has a beautiful appearance with thin bezels around the screen. Secondly, an ergonomic remote control with Bluetooth communication. Thirdly, excellent image: bright, clear, without jerks. If you're looking for the smallest 40-inch TV, this offer from Hyundai is the solution. The reviews say that this is the only model with such a diagonal that fits into a 90 cm niche.

  • Convenient remote control
  • Optimal price-quality ratio
