The best new product of 2021 for those who are looking for a small TV with a budget price and a clear picture. All the basic features are there and they work great. The best option for the kitchen, cottage or elderly parents. The manufacturer released more models with 43, 50, 55 inches diagonally within the P1 series, they are noticeably more expensive, but also more attractive in terms of characteristics. It was the 32-inch version that got into our top, as it has the most balanced price-performance ratio.

TV boasts updated interfaces and a modified remote control. It has a numeric keypad and additional buttons. It looks minimalist, but all the important keys are in place. The viewing angles are huge - 178 degrees. Responsible for performance is a modest but nimble quad-core processor with 1.5 GB of RAM. System lags are not noticed. The set of ports is sufficient, there is HDMI 1.4 generation, and modifications with a large screen already have HDMI 2.0 and 2.1. But even the younger 32-inch model received dual-band Wi-Fi.

TV for those who are looking for an inexpensive, but functional compact model. This is a May 2021 TV that is considered the best in the budget segment. The manufacturer has kept the cost low and at the same time endowed the device with Full HD resolution and thin bezels. The operating system uses an outdated version of Smart TV - Android TV 9. The disadvantage covers the installed OxygenPlay content aggregation service, and in addition, there is support for Google Chromecast and voice assistants from Google and Amazon.

Everything is in order with the interfaces: there is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, two HDMI ports and the same number of USB connectors, as well as Ethernet and an optical output. The sound for the money is excellent: two speakers are quite powerful - enough volume for a noisy kitchen and a spacious living room. Supports Dolby Audio technology. As for the picture, there is nothing to scold her for either. The color space coverage is already 93%, the picture is detailed, bright and clear. 64-bit processor, 1 GB of RAM - enough for the axis to process basic user requests without delay. The model was developed for the Indian market, but the CEO of the company said that TVs 1+ are planned to be sold in Europe.

One of the most budget TVs of 2021 from LG, and it deserves the first place in the ranking. The model turned out to be especially successful: user reviews confirm that the device is excellent for its money. The image quality is excellent - the resolution is high, the brightness is sufficient, there are no twitches in sports scenes, the dynamic range is wide thanks to HDR10 and 10 Pro. "Smart TV" is also good - easy to manage, with wide functionality. For example, it is possible to watch channels via the Internet, and then there is no need for an antenna.

The setup process is simple. There is bluetooth and Wi-Fi at 2.4 and 5 GHz. The model is perfect for a children's room and a country house: inexpensive, with a high-quality image, convenient control. The budget price affected the thickness of the case - it is larger than other new products in 2021. There is also a simple speaker system. They are not as powerful as the competition, but the reviews from experts say that the sound, although not as loud, is clear enough and with the effect of volume.

The new TV from Samsung, which has every chance of becoming the best-selling model of this year. The device is not cheap, but in its line of QLEDs, this is the basic version. More expensive options with larger diagonals and advanced functionality. But Q60A is perhaps the most balanced TV in terms of performance. What is worth only the Quantum Dot Color function, which makes the image come out saturated and with true color reproduction. UHD Upscaling technology is responsible for ensuring that you can watch content with a high level of detail not only in 4K, but also in lower resolution. A special processor scales the video.

There is also double lighting. The color background adapts to the type of image, and thanks to this, the user notices a clearer contrast. The design of the TV is excellent - the frames have become even narrower, and the body is thinner. More experts in the reviews praise the sound. It is voluminous, with a 3D effect. If you decide to purchase a soundbar, the TV's speaker system will synchronize with it and produce multi-dimensional sound. The legs on the sides prevent the use of a narrow cabinet, but they can be used to adjust the height of the TV and the support area of ​​​​the stand.

Realme launched 43-inch and 50-inch TVs in 2021. Their characteristics are identical, and the ratio of price and functionality attracts even those users who have always used panels only from Samsung and LG. Firstly, the current Android 10 is used as the basis of the software. Secondly, there is support for popular streaming applications, Google's voice assistant, and the Google Chromecast media player. The picture is super for your money: honest 4K resolution, 83% NTSC color coverage, more than a billion shades and support for HDR 10. Viewing angles are such that you can watch TV from any angle.

Experts in the reviews expressed concerns about the speed of Smart TV, but nothing happened. The manufacturer supplied a quad-core Mediatek and 2 GB of RAM, and together they cope with basic user tasks. The sound also deserves praise: two speakers form a stereo pair, they sound loud, clear, with almost no frequency dips. The remote control is convenient, and most importantly, with voice control. The TV could be the best solution for the average Russian, but so far the model is not on sale in the CIS countries, and it is not known whether it will appear at all and whether the normal price will remain.

New from Samsung, which looks more expensive than it really is. Experts and ordinary users have no complaints about the design. The leg is located in the center, wide and stable, it also organizes cable management. There are no problems with picture quality either. The VA matrix provides high contrast, fairly deep blacks and good detail. 4K content is stable, without twitching. You can also interpolate Full HD movies up to 4K, and the image will look harmonious on a 43-inch screen. The Crystal Processor 4K is responsible for this, and it does its job well.

There is HDR and HDR10 +, as well as proprietary Dynamic Crystal Color technology - Samsung claims that with it the image on the screen is shown in dynamic crystal clear colors. Gamers will love this 2021 TV too. So, when you start games, you can turn on Motion Xcelerator Turbo, a technology for improving clarity in dynamic scenes. With it, the 60Hz model will transmit content from VRR games at 120Hz. There is also a Game Bar - with it you can change settings right during the game: experiment with aspect ratio, input lag, refresh rate.

This is the first TV on HarmonyOS, which is officially presented in Russia. What is important: the manufacturer calls his creation a smart screen, not a TV, and there is a reason for this. The fact is that the device does not have a TV tuner, so you can watch programs and movies only via the Internet. The manufacturer made sure that you have a wide selection of content, so he provided a service with 20 free channels. When paying for a subscription, the list expands to 185.

The main distinguishing features of the model: work on the operating system Harmony OS and the presence of a 13-megapixel webcam. It has a magnetic mount, it can be used for video calls and removed from the TV at any time. The Chinese treated the Russian consumer with care by pre-installing the Salyut application. It gives access to the Sber ecosystem, for example, Okko to watch movies, Scooter to order groceries, SberZvuk to listen to tracks. It sounds convenient, but many basic functions like changing the volume are also tied to Sberbank, and this is uncomfortable. The TV is easily synchronized with a smartphone of the same brand - with one touch. There is voice control, and many microphones in the TV case pick up even a softly spoken command.

This novelty has attracted the interest of gamers from all over the world, including those who prefer TVs only from South Korea or Japan. Xiaomi's panel deserves such attention - where else can you find QLED with a refresh rate of 120Hz, 4K resolution, 100W speakers and Wi-Fi 6 support? Even before the presentation, the Chinese manufacturer hinted that the new product would be no worse than its competitors and at the same time cheaper, but even technologists did not expect that the price-performance ratio would be so seductive.

Xiaomi compared their creation with the flagship from Sony, and it just so happened that in many respects, Chinese TV is better than Japanese, and the price is several times lower. Xiaomi Mi TV 6 is still difficult to find for sale in the CIS, but if you are a gamer or just looking for a top-end TV for reasonable money, we still recommend spending time looking or ordering from abroad. In addition to the highest performance and gorgeous picture, the model is also distinguished by the presence of the best 48-megapixel camera - with it you can control TV gestures, as well as do physical training: dancing, fitness, yoga.

One of the most expensive 55-inch TVs in 2021, but experts never tire of proving that the price is justified. Sony has launched the Bravia XR series, which should become a favorite of gamers and just those who are willing to pay for perfect picture quality. The manufacturer has improved performance and introduced a new contrast enhancer. A special cognitive processor analyzes the color, contrast and clarity of the scene, and the image parameters are adjusted immediately to the entire scene. Thanks to this, the picture on the display looks more realistic than on monitors from competitors.

Sony also tweaked the brightness of the OLED panels, as up to this day, LCDs still win in this criterion. So that you do not feel the lack of brightness, the Japanese introduced local dimming. Sound deserves special attention. The 3D effect is so powerful that it seems as if the sound is coming from exactly the part of the frame where the movement takes place. To convert the display into a loudspeaker, Sony used vibrations. Visually they are not visible, do not worry.

The best model in the ranking, which deservedly received the first place. After watching a movie from the screen of this novelty, you will no longer want to go back to your old TV. This is exactly what the manufacturer is counting on when presenting its premium models with Quantum Dot NanoCell color rendering technology and Mini LED backlighting. The whole point is that LG based on the IPS matrix has achieved high contrast and color depth. And this is a real breakthrough, because you can enjoy wide viewing angles and correct color reproduction, as in a conventional IPS panel, as well as close to true blacks, like OLED.

All this became possible due to a decrease in the size of the diodes and an increase in the backlight zones. There are also more affordable models in the Mini LED series: it all depends on the screen diagonal and technical specifications. There are no detailed reviews and feedback on this device yet, but the information from users that is already available indicates that the TV will be in demand, and the technology will soon migrate to other TV series from LG.
