10 best 55-inch TVs for price and quality in 2021

A TV from the Bravia series, pleasing with a thin bezel of the screen, and 4K resolution, and support for Dolby Vision technology. The best choice for the gaming fan, because the device includes high-performance HDMI 2.1 connectors. This means that the TV created by Sony will be able to squeeze everything out of the PlayStation 5 that it is only capable of. There is also a Smart TV. The Android 9.0 operating system functions without any slowdowns, allowing you to install a wide variety of applications. Judging by the reviews, the TV also sounds pretty good. No wonder, because its speaker system even includes woofers. Another important feature is the increase in the screen refresh rate to 100 Hz. This happens when it displays content in Full HD resolution.

The back panel of this model is supplemented with a set of multi-colored light-emitting diodes. They light up in time with what is happening on the screen, visually expanding the boundaries of the picture. But the display itself on the TV is good! For its production, OLED technology was used, so buyers have no questions about the depth of black. They also note in their reviews a large number of connectors, thanks to which several game consoles can be connected to the device. There is also an optical audio output, but it is unlikely to come in handy - the TV itself sounds very worthy. Like almost all modern models, it supports the Smart TV function. In this case, it is implemented on the basis of Android 9.0.

In the case of the category leader, the South Koreans tried to achieve a better price-quality ratio. At the same time, it is not entirely clear what exactly they saved on. The refresh rate of the screen, whose diagonal is 55 inches, is increased to 100 Hz. Smart TV based on webOS works without slowdowns. And even to the sound of the buyers, judging by the reviews, there are no particular complaints, because the number of emitters present here includes a pair of low-frequency speakers, albeit not very powerful ones. The device also includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11ac modules. There are no problems with recognizing different digital TV standards. Finally, 4K resolution should also please. Especially when watching content that supports Dolby Vision or HDR 10 Pro. In a word, this is the case when you have to look for flaws under a magnifying glass.

Good TV with excellent value for money. In many respects, this model is not even inferior to the much more expensive Samsung with a similar matrix. The buyer is waiting for 4K resolution, thanks to which high detail is achieved. The screen diagonal is 55 inches, and MVA technology was used for its manufacture. Viewing angles with it turned out to be not very wide, but with the use of zone illumination, black colors become very deep. And with support for Dolby Vision, you can count on getting great experiences from high-quality HDR content. People complain in the reviews only about the lack of a function for smoothing the picture. It is felt that the manufacturer abandoned it due to the installation of a relatively weak processor, the power of which is only enough for the stable operation of Smart TV.

One of the lightest QLED TVs among those with a 55-inch display. It is felt that Samsung saved on some components.For example, she did not endow her device with the maximum number of connectors. Also, not the best processor is built into it. However, its capabilities are quite enough for the Tizen operating system and all applications to function without slowdowns. Well, local dimming made it possible to achieve very deep blacks - close to what much more expensive OLED panels give out. Not surprisingly, this model began to collect positive reviews immediately after going on sale in the spring of 2021.

The best model in this category has at its disposal a thin aluminum alloy body. The frame around the screen turned out to be incredibly narrow, almost invisible to the eye. The display itself boasts maximum viewing angles. Also here everything is in order with the depth of black and even the response time. Such a TV should definitely appeal to owners of game consoles from Sony or Microsoft. To connect such devices, three HDMI 2.0 interfaces are allocated here. Without problems, Xiaomi Mi TV 5 55 Pro also copes with independent playback of content, wherever it is.The disadvantages of this model include only average sound - as buyers write, the speakers located here make you think about buying a soundbar or home theater.

Despite the low cost, the TV is able to please with 4K resolution and support for HDR technology. To find fault with the screen, whose diagonal is 55 inches, is possible only about the modest refresh rate. However, even slightly more expensive Sony and Samsung TVs have a similar parameter, and therefore we could not bypass the BBK product, even if it does not take the top position in our rating. I am glad that it supports all digital TV standards, even satellite DVB-S2. The manufacturer has not forgotten the ubiquitous Android, which allows you to install various applications for viewing online content. But it is better to organize communication with the router by wire, since the not very high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11n standard is used here.

Many people think that the Tizen operating system is best suited for use on a TV. This is what Samsung equips its devices with. As a result, the TV allows you to view online content without any inconvenience. Even if it is saved in 4K resolution, because the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard is used here to communicate with the router. The picture is displayed on the VA-display, the diagonal of which is 54.6 inches. Support for HDR10 + provides a high-quality picture, the buyer can only find fault with the standard screen refresh rate. But on the other hand, the TV received good speakers, even if their power is far from the record. At least, thoughts about the soundbar do not come in the first week of owning the device.

Sony has endowed its creation with a very good screen, the main feature of which is the best viewing angles. Its diagonal is 54.6 inches. 4K resolution allows you to enjoy a high-quality picture, especially if the content itself is played - appropriate. There will definitely not be any problems with its launch, since there is a Smart TV based on Android. If you want to watch TV, a TV tuner will come to the rescue, recognizing all standards, including satellite DVB-S2. What is happening on the screen will be accompanied by a decent sound. As buyers write, only the lack of low frequencies causes some disappointment - if you need bass, you will have to think about a soundbar. The Japanese could solve this problem, but then the TV would no longer have such a tasty price-quality ratio, and it would not have made it to our top, and even to such a high place.

This is one of the most affordable TVs among those that can offer up to 120 frames / s display refresh rate. This should impress the owner of a modern game console or computer. Be sure that the device will definitely be able to receive a picture in 4K resolution and such a frequency, because HDMI 2.1 connectors are built into it. The screen diagonal is 55 inches, and IPS technology was used for its manufacture. In addition, the South Koreans endowed the LCD panel with a NanoCell coating, so the picture is more colorful and bright. This is especially noticeable when viewing content created with Dolby Vision or HDR 10 Pro. Everything is in order here and with Smart TV - webOS works without slowdowns, and control with the Magic Remote is a pleasure. No wonder the LG 55NANO866 topped our list.
