{ !!! block='price' type="big" idgood='538023' !!!}BBK 22LEM-1005/FT2C 22 "

BRAVIS does not apply to well-known brands, however, this technique is officially sold on our market and has instructions in Russian. The TV screen has a matrix with a diagonal of 21.5 "(55 cm), Full HD resolution (1920x1080), 16:9 aspect ratio and side illumination (Edge LED). At wide viewing angles (176 degrees), the device demonstrates modest contrast and brightness, but they are quite sufficient for comfortable viewing of terrestrial TV in room lighting. BBK 22LEM-1005/FT2C is more interesting than some competitors in terms of equipment.{lang_block }

LED-2228 comes not only in black, but also in white design.The model is equipped with standard legs located at the edges - this is modern, but not always comfortable design. o that in the center of the lower part of the case there is a socket for installing a central support-“paw”. The BRAVIS case has seats for a standard VESA wall bracket, which, by the way, allows you to hang the panel on the wall with minimal skill and without purchasing additional products. At the same time, it remains possible to use the control buttons on the rear surface of the device - they are in the recess at the bottom right - however, by touch. And full control of the TV is available from the familiar and quite convenient remote control.It has two digital tuners - DVB-T2 and DVB-C - for receiving digital broadcast and cable television. The TV has a picture-in-picture display function, and, more interestingly, TimeShift, that is, it supports the ability to record to a USB drive, and work with an external hard drive is documented. In this case, a stationary model with its own power supply would be preferable - portable HDDs, perhaps the TV will not “pull” to provide energy. In combination with support for common video and graphics formats, including MKV, the TV thus becomes attractive for fans of watching TV series from the Web, photos, etc.

{lang_block }The device is universal in terms of working with different signal sources. Firstly, in addition to receiving terrestrial TV, you can also send a signal from cable and satellite tuners - via HDMI, and for older models, including DVD players and even VCRs - a component signal and AV via RCA and SCART connectors. In addition, a VGA (D-sub) connector is provided for use as a computer monitor. Moreover, the TV speakers in this case can also be connected to the computer with a 3.5 mm “jack”, and in the same way you can connect headphones to the TV. Please note that when using the BRAVIS LED-2228 as a computer monitor, you may regret the lack of height and tilt adjustments on the desktop. Unusual is the presence of a 12V power input on the rear panel, which assumes operation from the on-board system of the car. It can be used as a TV in the garage and car.The BBK model has a PC connector and is therefore quite suitable for use as a computer monitor. This is also facilitated by the design of the table stand - this is a traditional central support that is not designed for height and tilt adjustments. The positive aspects of the BBK design include a thin bezel around the screen - this is a stylish solution, and the design of the device is black.

The disadvantages of LED-2228 (given its low price) are two points. The first is that the TV can work with USB drives, you can watch photos on it, and only MPEG4 is documented from video files. The second is the location of the connectors is unfortunate: when wall mounted, switching will cause problems.22LEM-1005/FT2C is equipped with switching for analog video sources - there is a composite (RCA) and component YPbPr (RCA) input. All switching is connected to the bottom end and is relatively convenient even when wall-mounted (VESA 100x100 compliance is provided). Note that the model comes with two remote controls, while the control of the main functions is also available on the back of the case. It's not just adding a spare remote - they are different: a full-sized one with a digital group of buttons, and a convenient ergonomic remote for controlling basic functions.
Plays content from multiple sources and is well equipped, good sound, works like a monitor.
Switching may interfere with installation close to the wall, and for use with a computer, it is better to use an alternative mount.

Philips 22PFT4000 22 "

This Philips TV has a 22" Full HD screen. The difference, in comparison with the previous instance, is almost not noticeable in terms of image area. But at, perhaps, not the highest brightness, the model gives a higher quality image. To achieve this result, in particular, proprietary Digital Crystal Clear technology is used. This is facilitated by a higher refresh rate of the screen - 100 Hz.

As for the sound, with the declared power of five watts - comparable to previous models, here, in addition to the usual tone control, additional features are presented to improve the sound. These are the proprietary features Incredible Surround, Clear Sound, Smart Sound, as well as the auto volume limiter function. All this works better if, through the optical interface presented on the switching panel, you connect a sound system to the device, for example, a small soundbar.

DVB-T/T2/C tuners for this model assumes work with all types of terrestrial and cable digital broadcasting. When using the USB port, the TV can receive firmware updates, work with various sources (digital camera, etc.) and storage devices. Support for H264/MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9/VC1 video playback formats in AVI and MKV containers is guaranteed. At the same time, additionally, the system "understands" a variety of subtitle file formats.

As in the previous model, there is a computer input that allows you to use the TV as a monitor. Only the removable supports at the edges of the screen are not adjustable, and, in addition, the screen itself is near the table surface. A wall mount is provided - in this case, the thin frame of the screen looks good, in which, unlike some reviewers, there are no protruding elements.

The device, in addition to analog SCART, has not one, but two HDMI connector. It is a pity, only that they are directed not parallel, but perpendicular to the rear wall of the case. The power connector is also located - placing the TV close to the wall, especially without a VESA bracket, will not work. At the same time, access to the USB connector, CAM-interface and headphone jack is provided from the left end - they are directed parallel to the body. So, perhaps, there will be no special problems with switching after all.
Good image quality due to IPS matrix, successful Web OS platform and Wi-Fi.< /span>
Full HD the video is played in reduced resolution.

LG 22LF491U 22 "

This model has a 22" (56 cm) lower resolution sensor than previous reviewers - 1366x768. And , oddly enough, this matrix is one of its advantages - it is made using IPS technology.With the same version of the side LED backlight, the matrix gives a better quality image with improved color reproduction and excellent viewing angles. Full HD playback is supported, as with all modern TVs - with "recalculation" to HD. All current digital broadcasting standards are supported - terrestrial, satellite and cable.

And most importantly, what distinguishes the LG 22LF491U from previous models is a full-fledged system of modern Smart TV. The device is running a proprietary Web OS, for which LG emphasizes such properties as simplicity, functionality and smooth operation. The TV has both network and wireless capabilities (there are built-in Wi-Fi) connections to the home computer network and the Internet. If you do not use them, then LG 22LF491U may not be your TV and you should look for a more affordable option from the rating.

Smart TV functions significantly expand the use of the device - you can watch content from the Internet or from gadgets (Miracast and WiDi are available), chat, play, etc. The USB player supports MP3, WMA, MPEG4, DivX, MKV, JPEG files (you should pay attention to the absence of the popular AVI in the list).

< p> LG 22LF491U looks strict. Neutral gray was chosen for the frame and supports located closer to the edges of the screen. The thin bezel is wider at the bottom and has a downward protrusion in the center, typical of the brand's models. Naturally, a wall mount is provided. Just like the previous model, many connectors are located perpendicular to the surface (you need to move the device away from the wall a little).

Despite the modernity of the model, analog switching is presented - there are SCART and RGB video inputs. As in the previous version, two HDMI inputs are installed here, which means that you can not only switch a couple of video sources, but also connect an audio system, the control of which is transmitted via HDMI to the TV remote control. Note that there is no connector for connecting the model to a computer, but modern PCs usually have HDMI.
Image quality is better than low-cost models, good feature set and new software platform.
Inferior in terms of features some competitors.

Samsung UE-32J5100 32 "

A modern, bright and high-contrast model from Samsung with the largest screen in our review. It is on the screen of the 32nd diagonal, according to some, that the advantage of Full HD over HD is already manifesting. The anti-reflective coating of the glossy screen and the company's proprietary technologies contribute to good quality. By the way, the brightness can be automatically adjusted by the built-in light sensor. And the screen refresh rate can be estimated by the index of dynamic scenes - 100 frames per second. This means that on fast and long movements, which are difficult for low-cost panels, the picture will not be blurry, and the movement will be smooth.

Image quality, black depth and the possibility of flexible image settings attract in this model< /strong>. Although it is the depth of black, which is maximum at the frontal position of the viewer, barely noticeably drops with even a slight deviation to the side, although the viewing angles of the model are almost maximum.

This model, like the Samsung TVs released this year, works on the basis a new proprietary platform released under the Tizen brand. Management is really convenient and understandable. Although, according to reviews, the LG platform is a little better developed.

The device is new, but still ready to cooperate with outdated equipment - there are SCART and RCA (tulips) on the rear panel for component and composite video input. Surprising is the placement of the headphone jack almost in the center of the rear panel - those who like to use headphones should stock up on an appropriate extension cable (3.5 mm jack). All this analog switching and the optical connector located next to it “look” perpendicularly to the back, making it difficult to place the panel close to the back wall. If we limit ourselves exclusively to USB and HDMI, then the situation improves - they are located in a special ledge on the right side and the cables do not require additional space.

The model has 2 HDMI connectors, which is important for connecting digital equipment. For example, if the power of the built-in audio system is not high, you can connect via HDMI an additional audio device (receiver, soundbar) controlled by the TV. There is also a USB with support for playing most of the current media files.

We also note that the stand with the mount in the center has a large width, which means stability, and the usual wall mount is provided by the manufacturer.
Image quality is better than low-cost models, good feature set and new software platform, great set connectors and Wi-Fi.
Image quality is not as impressive as the models from the "older" series.

Samsung UE-32J5500 32 "

Another model from Samsung differs from the previous one by only one digit in the index. This emphasizes that the differences between them are not great. However, you should pay attention to them when choosing a TV.

Outwardly, the difference is manifested in the fact that there is no central protrusion under the screen and the support has a thinner outline. The rear view is almost identical, although the number of connectors for switching with equipment has been increased. Everything said about the previous reviewer is also true for the Samsung UE-32J5500.

Let's list what has been added. In addition to terrestrial, the TV supports the reception of cable and satellite signals. The number of HDMI ports has been increased to three, which is the norm for 32-inch TVs. Ethernet (RJ-45) and MHL interfaces have also been added - this last circumstance indicates the presence in the system of a full range of branded Smart TV, which works quickly and smoothly in the "performance" of the Tizen platform. The viewer gets access to many pre-installed services with the ability to receive the "picture", data, images from both the local network and the Internet.

This model supports more technologies to improve the image. It has Micro Dimming Pro local dimming technology enabled, which indicates the best quality of the panel. It will more accurately display scenes with dark and light areas.

Thus, choosing from the two Samsung models presented in the review makes it possible to purchase a TV that best suits your needs and needs. The Samsung UE-32J5100 is excellent value for money. And the UE32J5500 is more expensive, but better in our criteria - equipment and image quality.
