Five successful 32 inch TVs

Ergo LE32DT5 32 " BBK 32LEM-3081/T2C 32 "

We have included the Ergo LE32DT5 in our selection as one of the most affordable TVs on the market. At the same time, Ergo products are produced not by some underground office on the outskirts of Shanghai, but by Network Selects Ltd. Its head office is located in London, its research center is located in Hong Kong, and factories are located in China, Taiwan and Turkey. By the way, various digital equipment: smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, etc.< wrap_lang data-lang="en" style="color:red">If you want to buy a TV as cheaply as possible, then you should consider buying a model from a Chinese manufacturer. Japanese and Korean companies have low-cost models, but it is difficult for them to compete in affordability with their Chinese counterparts. For example, it is worth taking a closer look at TVs under the BBK trademark produced by the BBK Electronics group of companies. They are officially sold in the CIS countries and their menu is Russified.

Given the low cost of the device , should be treated with condescension to its modest equipment. LE32DT5 does not have such features as Smart TV and 3D video. These are the attributes of twice as expensive models. Buyers of this model can expect to watch analogue (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) and digital broadcasts (DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-T2) broadcasts. A screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9 is not very suitable for showing TV programs in SD format (in which most analog and digital channels still work), but there are no alternatives among 32-inch models.{lang_block }BBK 32LEM-3081 is a typical low-cost LED TV. The manufacturer hides the matrix type. Most likely, this is TN + film, which is inferior in contrast, color accuracy and viewing angles to IPS and VA matrices. It is worth being skeptical about the declared contrast ratio of 3000:1. And you can believe in the declared high brightness of 250 cd / m2 and not very large viewing angles of 160 degrees. In general, the TV is suitable for watching news in the kitchen and watching the intrigues of the Game of Thrones, although our TOP 5 models have better picture quality.

The desire to minimize the cost of this model led to the fact that it has a very limited set of connectors: HDMI, SCART, VGA, composite input and USB port. We are not even talking about Ethernet and Wi-Fi modules. And expensive models like the Sony KDL-32W705B have four HDMI ports. These TVs can be connected to a console, PC, media player and cable or satellite receiver at the same time. With Ergo, such a number will not work. We are not aware of the input lag of this model, so we cannot recommend it to gamers. And the LE32DT5 video can be handled on its own. Its player plays MKV, MP4 and AVI files from USB sticks. We also note that the manufacturer has provided the ability to mount the panel on the wall according to the VESA standard. the level of similar-sized models from about five years ago. The tuner accepts analog and digital signals (DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-T2). Ci + slot for installing CAM modules can be useful when connecting to paid operators. When buying a TV with a price tag of just over $200, one can only dream of Smart TV, voice control, 3D support and other features of modern TVs. All additional features come down to playing content from a USB drive. The TV plays MKV, MPEG4, DivX video files, MP3 music and displays JPEG photos. A couple more nice things: the 32LEM-3081 has three HDMI ports and a wall mount of the generally accepted VESA standard.

Mystery MTV-3228LT2 32 "

Let's say you want to buy a 32 inch TV to install in a small room or kitchen. The main tasks that he will have to solve are the display of television news and programs, films and series. In this case, you need a TV with a tuner that is compatible with modern broadcasting standards and a built-in video player that is compatible with popular file formats. But such "chips" as a network connection, 3D video and other delights can be sacrificed for the sake of savings.

The Mystery MTV-3228LT2 TV is one of the low-cost models with a 32-inch screen. Not surprisingly, its design is not original, and the menu is not very attractive and intuitive. The manufacturer does not indicate the type of matrix and probably uses the most imperfect (but cheap) TN+film technology. Therefore, the screen quality is not as impressive as that of expensive models.

It is possible to connect two digital sources to the HDMI ports and several analog ones. So you can connect almost any cable and satellite TV receiver to your TV. MTV-3228LT2 accepts digital signal via cable (DVB-C) and broadcast (DVB-T2). Moreover, as buyers note in the reviews, the TV shows television well with a digital signal, but the analog broadcast does not please with the clarity of the picture. The TV does not have a processor that could help in this situation and improve the picture. But it copes with showing video files in SD and HD quality on USB drives. Nothing more is required in this case.

LG 32LB561U 32 "

The niche of low-cost TVs has been occupied by Chinese companies, whose name is not familiar to ordinary customers. But among them there is a place for models of well-known manufacturers. For example, you should pay attention to LG 32LB561U.

This is the only model in our selection with an IPS matrix and a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The more expensive Samsung and Sony are equipped with VA sensors, while the cheaper models BBK, Ergo and Mystery are supposedly based on TN + film sensors. We couldn't find a good test of this TV, but we're sure buyers will be pleased with the natural colors and wide viewing angles. IPS matrices do not have as much contrast as VAs. However, the difference is not critical when watching TV programs and video files of poor quality. In such situations, the LG Triple XD Engine slightly improves the picture.

LG TV is equipped with several tuners: it can receive a DVB-T2 signal and connect to a satellite dish without a special receiver. According to the manufacturer, the model is optimized to work with regional cable, online and satellite TV operators. For example, with OnLime, Dom.ru, MEGOGO.NET, DIVAN.TV.

There are no questions about the built-in player either. Among the supported formats are H.264, MPEG-2, VC-1, DivX of various versions, etc. In addition, it allows you to view photos and listen to music. True, this model does not have a card reader and one USB input, and not two or three, like the more expensive ones. And to end on a positive note, let's say that smartphones can be connected to this panel via an MHL cable. In general, LG turned out to be a good low-cost model.

Sony KDL-32W705B 32 "

Like Sony's other 2014 TVs, the KDL-32W705B is a good choice for gamers. These models have a small input lag (input delay) or, to put it simply, they almost instantly respond to commands from the mouse, keyboard, and game controllers. With the KDL-32W705B, this figure is at the level of monitors and is less than 20 ms. Therefore, this Sony can be used not only for games like GTA V and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but also for online shooters Battlefield 4, Titanfall, Evolve, etc.

The movie watching experience on the KDL-32W705B will be no less vivid than from participating in virtual battles. DigitalVersus resource specialists write that Sony KDL-32W705B is a 32 inch version of Sony KDL-42W705B 42 " . These models have a high contrast ratio (about 4000:1) and the correct display of shades, but the viewing angles are not perfect. The TV doesn't have all the proprietary technologies like TRILUMINOS like the top big-screen models (e.g. Sony KDL-55W955 55 " ).

Sony KDL- 32W705B refers to smart TVs with networking capabilities. The device is equipped with a Wi-Fi module for accessing the Web (Opera browser is at your service) and USB ports for connecting storage devices for playing videos and viewing photos. Using Wi-Fi, you can broadcast content from Android and iOS gadgets to the TV screen.

According to customer reviews, Sony Entertainment Network's proprietary software shell is inferior in capabilities and ease of use to competitors (for example, Samsung UE32H6400). For example, the number of available services is not as large as we would like. And if you want to chat via Skype, you will have to purchase a camera for a fee.

The KDL-32W705B is Sony's best 32-inch TV among 2014 models. However, the best does not mean perfect. The advantages include stylish design, good screen quality and game compatibility. And the disadvantages, in addition to the relatively high price, include truncated functionality (lack of 3D, etc.) and ergonomic features. This model has an external power supply (for which you need to find a place), and the wall mounting system does not comply with the generally accepted VESA standard.

Samsung UE-32H6400 32 "

The 6 Series TVs are considered to be mid-range models in Samsung's range. UE32H6400 is one of the highest quality and most expensive 32 inch Full HD TVs. Either way, you're unlikely to find a better quality 32-inch panel.

The Samsung UE32H6400 received good reviews from experts. British lovers of quality technology What Hi-Fi? consider this model to be the leader in image quality among 32 inch TVs. And the editor of the technoblog TechRadar found no reason to complain about such key parameters as black level, contrast, backlight uniformity (Samsung Micro Dimming technology works) and the accuracy of displaying dynamic scenes (thanks to Clear Motion Rate technology). Contrast ratio of 2400:1 - according to the measurements of AV Forums reviewers - is a decent indicator for small-sized TVs. You can find fault with the viewing angles: they are not perfect, which may be noticeable to viewers who are not sitting in the center of the screen.

The capabilities of the UE32H6400 please no less than the quality of its screen. The TV allows you to watch 3D videos and has a converter of conventional recordings to three-dimensional. You will receive two pairs of 3D glasses with the device. This model supports the proprietary SMART TV platform. You will get access to online cinemas and services, you will be able to find out news on the Web and communicate via Skype. Of course, the TV can play files from USB drives. Powered by a quad-core processor, it handles all of these tasks effortlessly.

Manage your networking experience with the dedicated Smart Control or use your Android smartphone as a remote. In addition, the UE32H6400 understands voice commands and hand gestures. Finally, the good news for gamers is that Samsung has a game mode. When activated, the latency of incoming commands is reduced to an acceptable 45ms, which will suit most players (the most demanding will suit the Sony KDL-32W705B).
