Buying a new device is not as easy as it might seem. Several years ago, when buying a TV, we paid attention primarily to its dimensions and image quality.
Nowadays we also have to consider many additional features and modern technologies that provide better quality in games, movies or in everyday use. Next, we’ll talk about this in more detail and compare the functions that different companies offer, this will help you choose a TV that’s really worth buying in modern 2021.
Smart TV Samsung - what is the strength of Samsung TVs?
Samsung TVs are currently the best-selling in our country. The manufacturer has been leading for ten years. The company offers many technologies that improve image quality. For example, quantum dots, thanks to which the matrices become brighter and viewing angles wider.
Of course, design greatly influences the purchasing decision. At the turn of the century, Samsung tried to follow modern design trends. Years of taking care of your appearance are now paying off. But the biggest advantage seems to be the price-quality ratio.
It is also worth mentioning their operating system for Smart TV, at the moment, it is one of the most convenient and intuitive OS.
Below are some Samsung TVs that we think are worth a look.
Pros of Samsung TVs:
- Samsung boasts full DCI-P3 color gamut coverage;
- Price-quality ratio;
- Long service life.
Cons: QLED TVs are still backlit, so blacks naturally turn slightly gray
Tips for choosing
- If you have the financial means and want to enjoy a high-quality anti-glare screen with clear sound, you can choose models from the Japanese brand;
- Since the difference between the LED and LCD matrix is invisible to the user, it makes no sense to pay more;
- When searching for representatives of TV equipment with an LCD matrix, users note that there are fewer such models on the market. This is due to the fact that LED technologies bring more income to companies. But in terms of technical characteristics they are almost identical;
- LED technology is relevant for those who plan to connect game consoles. In other words, such equipment has a high response time, but when watching TV content, owners will not notice the difference between FULL HD LCD and Full HD LED TV;
- Elgie has a higher dynamic contrast ratio than other competitors;
- Sony equips the equipment with an acoustic system built into the monitor. At the same time, the sound quality allows you to refuse to connect additional speakers;
- An additional advantage of the equipment from the South Korean manufacturer is the ability to purchase 42-inch TVs, unlike Sony, which offers only 40 inches;
- In terms of price-quality ratio, LG is an acceptable option, maintaining high image quality and ease of operation.

Top 3 Samsung TVs with different diagonals - photos and descriptions
Samsung UE43TU7100U 43″ (2020)
Samsung UE43TU7100U 43″ (2020) is the first model in the 2021 Samsung line. A TV with obvious character - inexpensive and equipped with basic functions, which in any case will be enough for many users. Knowing the characteristics of cheap TVs, we can be sure of HDR support.
This is a 4K model with edge lighting. The TV is equipped with a Smart TV Tizen system.
Samsung UE55TU8000U 55″ (2020)
In addition to the improved design, which manifests itself primarily in significantly thinner frames, the manufacturer offers us interesting solutions.
Samsung UE55TU8000U gets Ambient Mode, which was previously reserved only for the QLED series.
More important, however, is the introduction of voice assistants. Samsung from this model gives you the option to choose a voice assistant from three available ones, i.e. Google Assistant, Alexa and Bixby. We can say that Samsung TVs in 2021 finally “got ears.”
Mobile View was also added, an interesting variant of the almost abandoned PiP (Picture in Picture, a feature that allowed you to view images from two sources at the same time). This feature allows you to display content from your phone while you're watching something else. This is a particularly interesting solution for football fans, where while watching one match you can stream the image from your phone to the TV in a smaller window.
Samsung UE65TU8500U 65″ (2020)
Samsung UE65TU8500U is a TV that combines all the advantages of lower-end models with an additional improvement in image quality, the so-called “Dual LED” - a system of LEDs that emit warm and cool light. This technology is designed to improve contrast.
The design is also worth paying attention to here, because this is the only TV in the TU8500 series with a center stand. The equipment looks like a worthy successor to the 2019 RU7472 TV.
In addition, similar to the above, the TV has Ambient Mode and voice assistants to choose from.
Smart TV Sony
Sony makes some of the best TVs. Sony has it all, including 4K models that use both LCD and more modern OLED TV technology. The company's TVs support various HDR formats, including HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision, but not HDR10+.
Pros:
- excellent motion processing;
- excellent HDR;
- low input lags;
- natural and authentic picture.
Cons: Some models have sound problems

Sony KDL-50W807C TV customer reviews
Skorospelov D. ★★★★ Advantages:
Quality of materials and workmanship, quality of static images
Disadvantages:
The quality of dynamic scenes leaves much to be desired
Comment:
I was never able to customize a decent display of dynamic scenes: either smoothly, but with artifacts, or without artifacts, but not smoothly.
I didn't expect this from Sony in this price segment. Georgy Papava ★★★★ Advantages:
Android TV, image, design, Sony brand.
Disadvantages:
Price, no 3D glasses included, outdated remote control, uneven backlight.
Comment:
The TV was purchased for the living room. Used to watch Full HD quality movies. The Playstation 4 game console is also connected to the TV. I would like to note that there is no sound from the TV if you are going to watch movies and play games on it. I definitely recommend buying a soundbar or home theater. In my case, a 5.1 system is connected to the TV. I was very upset when I discovered that the kit did not include 3D glasses, although for that kind of money they could have included them. I also don’t like the outdated remote control, I repeat that for that kind of money they could have included a remote control with a Sony RMF-TX100E touchpad in the kit. Overall, I really like the TV, it copes with its responsibilities. I give this TV a solid 4!

Sony KDL-50W808C TV customer reviews
Alexey V. ★★★★★ Advantages:
Online and in all stores they say so many terrible things about Sony, persistently persuading me to buy anything else, that I’ve been waiting for half a year for it to burn out.
But no, somehow it holds up! So, the pros: 1. Excellent image quality. The colors are rich, but not overexposed. Black is actually black.2. Quality materials. Strict lines, thin metal frame, graceful leg. The device looks stylish in the house, and not like a cheap Chinese toy made of gray thick plastic3. Omnivorous: you can connect an external hard drive and watch videos directly from it in some mkv. And if some format cannot be played, you can solve this issue by installing VLC4. Built-in Google Home (formerly Google Cast). I can find a video on my computer or phone...and watch it on the big screen by simply clicking the "Cast to TV" button.5. Regular program updates on Google Play6. The firmware has already been updated several times. One feels that the model was not abandoned and sold to the buyer.7. The ability to control the TV via a mobile phone by installing a proprietary application. You can enter text using the telephone keypad, rather than having to struggle with the remote control. You can also turn your phone screen into a “touchpad for TV.”8. Good browser on board. For example, on the first channel, some programs can only be watched from the website, but they have a flash player and a lot of all sorts of heavy animations. But the TV calmly displays all this, and the video, which cannot be downloaded or found on YouTube in any other way, is shown in maximum quality in full screen mode.9. In general, there is powerful iron inside. I bought a gaming joystick, installed Asphalt 8 and calmly played at maximum settings. And another option: install a dandy emulator, pump up toys from childhood... so it can very well act as a game console.10. I don’t have a regular TV, I watch channels via the Internet. You don’t need any set-top boxes: you just installed LazyIPTV, fed it a playlist with channels from the provider - voila, 130 channels! Disadvantages:
Yes, I am delighted with this model, but there are still disadvantages: 1.
Inconvenient remote control. In complete darkness it is extremely difficult to use, because... the buttons feel almost the same from each other.2. There is no adapted file manager; getting to the bottom of the video from an external hard drive using the remote control is a whole quest. It’s much easier to connect your phone and use the mouse to do everything you need3. If you turn off the TV and then turn it on, it will no longer see the hard drive: you need to reconnect it.4. The sound for television is good, and even for cinema it’s okay, but overall it’s so-so. Pampered ears ask for a little more bass - then it could also be used as a music player.______________ From the myths that have not been confirmed: 1. “It takes a long time to turn on.” There is a subtlety here: when you press the “off” button, the TV does not turn off completely, as we are used to. It goes into standby mode, like a phone whose screen is locked. And it’s ready to receive “calls”: you can turn it on from the remote control, from the phone, from the computer. Yes, if you unplug it from the socket, it will turn on for about 20 seconds - just like your mobile phone, if you unplug the battery from it. Do you often do this? That's it. Under normal conditions, within a couple of seconds after pressing, it is already in service.2. “It’s slowing down! It's buggy!" Buy a TV on WebOS! To, so to speak, expand your knowledge about brakes and glitches ;-)3. “Android 5 is bad because it’s a commercial system, it’s better to buy a TV on Android 4, which is open source” - well, they told me that in the store . As a programmer, it’s funny to hear that a system with binary applications (android5) can work slower than a system where uncompiled code is executed in a virtual machine (android4).
From the same opera, why a TV set with WebOS simply cannot provide higher performance for technical reasons: writing performance-demanding desktop software in HTML + JS is a complete perversion. Comment:
I used to have 2 LG TVs.
Which left a lot of pain due to slow, low-quality software. Nevertheless, for some reason they are recommended everywhere based on the insignificant fact that they themselves produce matrices for their TVs. Perhaps, if all you need is a simple TV for watching channels, then it is not necessary, or even necessary, to buy a TV on Android: it may turn out to be too sophisticated for your needs.________This device reveals itself best in its high-quality interaction with a computer , telephone, its main advantage is the ability to simply access Internet content. In this case, it turns from just a very large, expensive screen into a multimedia station, with the help of which you can watch a movie, listen to music, read a website, look at photos from your travels, and play games - alone or together. A sort of personal computer inside a very large monitor. And a remote control instead of a mouse and keyboard.________I chose this model because it implemented exactly these capabilities. I'm sure you can buy something good without Android inside, but keep in mind: it will just be a regular TV. No more. Steve Ghan ★★★★★ Pros:
- Picture and sound.
The most important thing for the TV is done perfectly. - Easy to control. Compared to non-Android Sony TV models, everything has become simpler and more intuitive, you can quickly find what you need in more logical and concise menus. - Design - the TV fits perfectly into the room. :)- Voice control. It works and recognizes everything. - The TV easily handles 1080p and does not slow down (almost) even when rewinding. Disadvantages:
The disadvantages are small and correctable, but there are: - There was a very minimal package: a stand, a plug with a power supply, a remote control with batteries.
They didn’t include 3D glasses or a well-promoted touchscreen remote control with a microphone. I had to buy more: active glasses +3 tr. x 2 pcs., remote control 2.5 t.r. Everything purchased connected without problems and worked great. - There are very few applications on Android TV yet. Not much at all. I think that in a year or two the platform will develop. - Not all video formats are played. A small thing, but unpleasant. Is it really impossible to support all formats? It can be cured, however quickly, by downloading another player from the market that supports everything. Comment:
I'm happy with the TV. Sony Style is present, the quality is excellent

Japanese home appliances from Sony
Sony is a brand that comes from Japan,
Sony or LG TVs, which is better - to understand this point, you should find out what the features of each manufacturer are individually.
Sony is a brand originally from Japan, whose equipment has long been valued as high quality. In terms of television panels, emphasis is also placed on design, functionality and reliability of assembly. And this is regardless of the price segment of the device: budget, medium or expensive.
The South Korean manufacturer Sony is inferior in terms of “smart” functions in the TV - Smart TV. As for the rest of the functionality, it is well thought out and easy to understand. This is partly a good solution, since the user does not have to spend a long time comparing the characteristics of dozens of TVs with identical functions.
Sony offers high-quality equipment, beautiful, reliable. TVs of this brand are 20–30% more expensive than their competitors, which does not prevent them from leading in the ratings.
As an example, the AF9 has the following advantages: flawless picture, great sound and impressive overall quality. Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology creates an immersive experience by using the display panel as the sound source. The XG95 features multi-directional speakers for surround sound.
The platform on which Sony's panels run is Android TV, and it has received a ton of updates over the past year. The user will be pleased with: fast response, clear interface, a lot of applications in the Play Store.
Android TV OS
What's good about Sonya:
- backlight Here the company has practically no competitors in the market. Sony specialists focus on realistic color gamut, for which they install special small semiconductors in the screen matrices. This technology attracted the interest of other major players, who subsequently bought the rights to implement it in their devices;
- Android TV OS. The software that powers the TV is constantly being improved. Now TV is an interactive technology that can be synchronized with a smartphone and other gadgets to expand functionality;
- screen. The image looks juicy, bright, with realistic movements, which is achieved by backlighting, high-tech processors, HEVC decoder and other technologies. Sony was one of the first to introduce 4K Ultra HD panels;
- design. Sony TV will find a place in any interior. Typically, equipment is produced with a strict appearance, black. The emphasis is on ease of placement - for this, the legs-stands can be moved across the entire width of the case.
What are the disadvantages:
- equipment is more expensive than competitors;
- Some TV models are poorly optimized.
TVs from Phillips
Philips continues to support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ (as well as standard HDR10, of course), and every model announced so far is compatible with both. They all also have built-in Ambilight on at least three sides.
Almost every model in the 2021 lineup also has Android TV as its operating system.
Pros:
- good performance;
- work culture;
- Ambilight lighting;
- Dolby Vision support.
Cons: average service life is 5 years.

About Sony equipment
Which is better - LG or Sony TV? Let's identify the basic features of each manufacturer.
The Japanese brand Sony has always been associated with high quality products. All thanks to the design and functionality of their TVs.
Sony's TV assembly is always top notch. Quality applies to equipment in all price segments - budget, medium or expensive. The Sony buyer receives a device with a solid build. The range of Smart TVs from Sony leaves much to be desired. However, all models have thoughtful functionality. On the one hand, it is more convenient for the consumer. You don't have to choose among dozens of models with almost identical functions.
If you are a connoisseur of good technology, pay attention to Sonya. The cost of this company’s devices is 20%-30% higher than that of its competitors. Although this does not prevent Sony from leading the market.
Pros of TV from Sony:
- Backlight. In this parameter, the manufacturer is considered the best. Sony creates realistic colors. This can be achieved using special small semiconductors. All major brands have acquired the rights to implement this technology;
- Android TV OS. Sony developers regularly improve the software “stuffing” of their equipment. This means that using the gadget becomes interactive. Synchronize your smartphone with TV, receive Android updates and more;
- Display. The Sony manufacturer managed to achieve realistic transmission of movements on the screen. Anti-reflective coating makes the image even better;
- Strict design that will suit any interior. Most TV models from Sony are made in classic black. The legs of the device can be moved across its entire width. They allow you to place the gadget on any surface.
Sony Cons:
- The price is higher than competitors;
- Many models are available with an LCD matrix. Today this technology is already considered obsolete and is being replaced by OLED and QLED displays.
Which TV is better than Sony or Samsung: detailed comparison
Even a closer comparison of one of the most interesting and popular models, Sony Bravia and Samsung QLED with Tizen system and Quantum 8K processor, may not give you a satisfactory answer. Much depends on the screen size, components and technological differences.
However, there are some features that only Samsung hardware has, and some that only Sony Smart TV can offer you.
Manufacturers of interest offer various operating systems in their devices. It is worth remembering that they differ not only visually. When you buy a Sony TV, you can count on Android TV. Samsung, on the other hand, offers its own proprietary software called Tizen with a Smart HUB interface.
A TV running Tizen software allows you to do everything you would expect from a Smart TV. With it, you will use a web browser and connect to several popular VOD libraries such as Netflix, HBO or Amazon Prime Video. You can also count on access to social networking applications. The biggest advantage of the software used by Samsung is how intuitively the TV syncs with the Internet.
Although OLED and QLED technologies are radically different, the picture standard that both manufacturers achieve is very similar.
The Samsung 4K QLED TV delivers ultra-high resolution with the same color depth and clarity as the Sony 4K OLED model. Manufacturers also approach the feature set they equip their TVs with in a similar way. Their cheaper and more compact models have larger LCD screens. For an OLED or QLED panel to appear in their equipment, the TV itself must have a screen larger than 50 inches.

Which TV is better - Samsung or LG?
Both LG and Samsung have LED displays in most of their low- and mid-priced TVs. Now this is a kind of standard that ensures decent quality of the generated image.
When it comes to high shelves, we can choose between two technologies. In the case of Samsung, we are talking about so-called quantum dots, that is, QLED technology. Thanks to small crystals between the color filters and the backlight, it is possible to adjust the wavelength, allowing a much wider range of colors to be obtained. The picture looks more realistic.
LG offers OLED TVs. This technology is based on LEDs, which do not need to be illuminated because they emit light themselves. This gives an almost perfect black color.
LG and Samsung TVs are offered in versions that support HD, Full HD and 4K resolutions.
Both Samsung and LG offer TVs with all the most important inputs, i.e. HDMI, USB and possibly VGA. However, it is always worth checking their quantity.
A separate topic is all kinds of technologies that improve sound and image. If we intend to use the TV to support streaming services or to play games on a console, we should focus on HDR models - a wide tonal range will ensure greater realism in the generated colors. The image will become brighter and its quality will improve significantly.

LG or Philips?
It cannot be denied that for many modern people, the deciding factor is the various types of technologies that improve the quality of the picture and sound generated or allow the TV to be used in several other ways.
With that in mind, it's worth taking a closer look at each TV's specifications before making your final choice. In the case of LG devices, the set of technologies that affect image and sound looks very interesting. They use solutions such as Dolby Digital Plus, Clear Voice or Virtual Surround.
On the other hand, Philips TVs are known for their Ambilight technology, which involves the use of light panels mounted on the back of the body. They emit light, which gives the effect of expanding the screen. Its color, power and display method depend on the content being viewed.
Regardless of the manufacturer, it's also worth checking whether the TV supports HDR technology, which makes the colors generated more realistic. In addition, you should check whether the devices you are interested in support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DLNA connection and what connectors they have.

Interfaces
What wireless modules and connectors do TVs have?
The Japanese did not skimp on trifles. As a result, their device can boast the largest number of connectors. The rear panel houses three USB ports and the same number of HDMI inputs. There is also an Ethernet port here. It can be useful, because the bandwidth of the Wi-Fi standard is sometimes not enough to quickly download content in 4K resolution.
LGI and Samsung did not endow their TVs with an abundance of connectors. They believe that two HDMI inputs and one USB port will be quite enough. Whether this is so is up to you to decide.
| Name | HDMI | USB | Audio | Wireless |
| LG 65UP75006LF | 2 pcs. | 1 PC. | Optic | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11ac |
| Samsung UE65TU7100U | 2 pcs. | 1 PC. | Optic | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11ac |
| Sony KD-65XG7096 | 3 pcs. | 3 pcs. | 3.5 mm optical | WiFi 802.11n |
In terms of wireless modules, the South Koreans outperform their Japanese counterparts. Firstly, they support the high-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. Secondly, they have a Bluetooth module at their disposal, which simplifies connecting headphones. But if you want to use a wired accessory, only the Sony TV has a corresponding socket.
