OLED LG OLED 65W9P

Rating: 4.9

The choice between two equal candidates was very difficult, but in the end the first line of the rating went to LG OLED 65W9P. In fact, it is a complete alternative to Samsung QE65Q90RAU with slightly modified equivalent functions. So, instead of the ecosystem from Yandex, this TV supports LG Smart ThinQ, and the soundtrack is provided by the same 6 speakers with a subwoofer and Dolby Atmos, only from another brand. By the way, they are taken out as a separate panel, reducing the weight of the device for easy installation on the hinged bracket.

According to experts, the difference between competing models can be detected only if you know how TVs with matrices OLED and QLED should work. The refresh rate of the picture in the LG OLED 65W9P is also 100 Hz with software boost to 200. There is support for virtual reality, display dimming mode, remote control and implemented voice control. But the amount of internal memory here is 8 GB, which is why the model works significantly faster than the competitor. However, a huge price can compensate for this plus – it is she who is a deterrent factor for consumers.

Advantages

• complete technological and technical equipment in accordance with the requirements of modern standards;
• remote soundbar, which makes it easier to mount the device on the wall;
• the presence of voice control;
• great design;
• the highest quality image transmission.

disadvantages

• the price for a TV set reaches 335 thousand rubles.

QLED Samsung QE65Q90RAU

Rating: 4.8

Samsung QE65Q90RAU followed in the footsteps of QE65Q67RAU, correcting some shortcomings and moving into the category of premium 65-inch screens. Its main feature: the combination of excellent picture quality with stunning sound, provided by 6 speakers with a total power of 60 watts. Together with tweeters, the model contains a compact subwoofer and surround sound system – not every home stereo system can compete with such a set.

As for other aspects of TV, here everything is completely identical to QE65Q67RAU: go down to the 4th line of the rating and repeat the past. The only difference lies in the even greater bulkiness (35 kg with the stand) and power consumption (255 W). The rest does not need any special introduction.

Advantages

• high-quality upgrade of the sound system: 6 speakers + subwoofer;
• Motion Rate at 200 Hz, Picture Quality Index with an increased frequency of 3.7 kHz;
• the presence of a dimming system Direct Full Array Elite;
• belongs to the Yandex Smart Home ecosystem;
• has voice control and decorative Ambient mode.

disadvantages

• a bulky TV with a fairly high power consumption.

NanoCell LG 65SM9800

Rating: 4.7

This screen relies on manufacturability and an abundance of attractive features. But among users, alas, I could not find a proper response. It's all to blame for the 'one-sidedness' of the creators, who did not give a damn about external data for the sake of revolutionary filling. Replace the TFT IPS matrix with QLED and all problems are solved! But no: we are content with what we have. But with functions of local screen dimming, support for Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Ultra HD 4k, as well as a screen refresh rate of 100 Hz.

In addition to joining the LG Smart ThinQ ecosystem and a host of progressive features LG, the 65SM9800 relies heavily on sound quality. That is why two more speakers were added to the two standard speakers, and their total power became 40 watts. Considering automatic volume leveling, surround sound support, Dolby Atmos and the presence of a subwoofer, there is no need to start talking about any additional stereo system. It is worth noting the presence in the device of voice control, 2 GB of internal memory, as well as the True Motion system, which increases the screen refresh rate to 200 Hz. A revolutionary thing.

Advantages

• special emphasis on sound quality (4 speakers of 10 W each + subwoofer and a set of additional functions);
• part of the ecosystem LG Smart ThinQ;
• includes more than a dozen advanced features;
• the presence of voice control.

disadvantages

• TFT IPS matrix.

QLED Samsung QE65Q67RAU

Rating: 4.7

Slowly but surely we got to the TVs with QLED display. Samsung QE65Q67RAU is one of the brightest representatives of this segment, which received the maximum quality rating from Russian buyers. It is based on the system Tizen through which Smart TV technology is implemented. Useful features include Ultra HD 4k and HDR10 + picture transmission standards, as well as progressive scan.

Like all Samsung representatives, the QE65Q67RAU is bulky (26 kg) and high power consumption (203 W). However, it implements a couple of cool solutions:

1. Ambient mode, which allows the TV to blend in with the surroundings;
2. dimming function Ultimate UHD Dimming;
3. Motion Rate, which increases the frame refresh rate up to 200 Hz;
4. Smart Home system, thanks to which it can enter the Yandex Smart Home ecosystem.
5. In view of such opportunities, the price tag of almost 100 thousand rubles looks quite justified.

Advantages

• visual style changed for the better;
• an abundance of a number of additional functions;
• Picture Quality Index with a frequency of 3.3 kHz;
• The optimum ratio of price and quality.

disadvantages

• bulky TV with high power consumption.

Panasonic TX-6 5G XR900

Rating: 4.6

The Panasonic TX-6 5G XR900 is a pretty interesting LED TV. On the one hand, it has more modest personal picture display settings. On the other hand, its progressiveness reaches a new level. Among the formats of work is listed not only Ultra HD 4k, but also HDR10, HDR10 +, and even Dolby Vision. Along with smart backlighting, it has a Local Dimming function for the screen, and the index of dynamic scenes reaches 1600 points.

In addition to the standard set of speakers 2×10 W Panasonic TX-6 5G XR900 has built-in digital receivers and a whole range of connection ports (including HDMI, USB, AV and component input). There is support for Dolby Atmos technology, which allows you to get high-quality stereo sound without an additional headset. The only serious drawback of the model is its high weight (27.5 kilograms), which can negatively affect the desire to hang the TV on the wall.

Advantages

• availability of support for Dolby functions (Vision and Atmos);
• local dimming of the screen is present;
• built-in light sensor;
• surround sound;
• high quality color reproduction.

disadvantages

• great weight.

LG 65UU661H

Rating: 4.5

The sixth line LG 65UU661H is due to the high quality both in terms of reliability and functionality. Despite the 50 Hz frame refresh rate, the model provides excellent technical parameters, including for flexible customization of the image display. The brightness is adjustable up to 500 cd / m2, there is a progressive scan, and the viewing angle is 178 °.

Unlike the previous competitor, this screen has no affinity with the Smart Home system, but it supports VR 360 and has Pro: Centric software, an exclusive development from the company LG. Otherwise, the differences are minimal: the sound system lost support for Dolby, the TV itself began to consume 177 watts of energy and 'threw off' a couple of extra pounds. The design significantly surpasses Samsung's UE65RU7200U – it's pointless to argue with the obvious.

Advantages

• support for virtual reality technology;
• relatively light weight (21 kg);
• wide range of brightness adjustment;
• catchy corporate design.

disadvantages

• large price differentiation (from 75 to 128 thousand rubles);
• lack of support for Dolby Atmos technology.

Samsung UE65RU7200U

Rating: 4.5

An important difference between Samsung UE65RU7200U and LG 65UM740 is that the former can be connected not only to the proprietary Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, but also to the Smart Home from Yandex. In this regard, they are preinstalled with the voice assistant Alice, which works much better than the basic assistant LG.

Otherwise, the model almost completely repeats the capabilities of the opponent, except that the image quality is better (with the same refresh rate of 100 Hz). But in ergonomics, there are minor problems. The fact is that a 3-kilogram stand is supplied to an already heavy TV (25.1 kg). On the one hand, it is bad, but on the other, the leg can perform a masking function – the connection wires are hidden under it. We also note the inconvenient remote control and 'annoying' frames, not thin enough to be invisible and not wide enough to leave questions about the design.

Advantages

• the possibility of joining the internal ecosystem of Samsung and the 'Smart Home' from Yandex;
• refresh rate 100 Hz;
• acceptable sound quality.

disadvantages

• problems with the ergonomics of the TV itself and the complete remote control.

LG 65UM7450

Rating: 4.4

Despite the seemingly point changes, the difference between LG 65UM740 and the previous competitor is very significant. The refresh rate is 100 Hz, there is a flicker suppression system and Direct LED backlighting, modified in the laboratories LG. We also note many additional functions, such as support for virtual reality helmets and voice control. Smart TV runs on webOS and boasts fast, especially with a high-speed, uninterrupted internet connection.

The stereo system is similar to that of the Toshiba 65U5855EC and allows you to do without additional acoustics. By the way, the TV can be part of the general ecosystem LG Smart ThinQ and become part of the 'smart home'. The cost of the model varies greatly from the profitable 47 to the expected 66 thousand rubles – we advise you to look well for all available offers.

Advantages

• the ability to connect to the “smart home” system;
• refresh rate 100 Hz;
• support for VR glasses;
• control using voice commands.

disadvantages

• some devices have problems recognizing voice commands.

Toshiba 65U5855EC

Rating: 4.3

We think that the starting point for understanding the important technical characteristics of TVs is given. We will focus on especially important aspects, keeping in mind that all their other characteristics are equal and identical. In the case of the Toshiba 65U5855EC, we can note a weak run-up of contrast settings (only 1200: 1) and an increased power consumption equal to 180 W. Perhaps this is due to the more powerful installed speakers (2×10 W) with Dolby Digital decoders and volume equalization function.

In this model, manufacturers have abandoned the use of a standard LED, replacing it with the Direct version of the backlight. It turned out better than TCL, but worse than LG and Samsung. The platform Android acts as an OS for Smart TV, and it works more stably than in BBK 65LEX-8127 / UTS2C.

Advantages

• powerful and stable Direct LED backlight;
• loud, surround sound;
• stable operation of applications in Smart TV mode.

disadvantages

• increased power consumption;
• small range of contrast adjustment.

TCL L65P6US

Rating: 4.1

A line above is a TV from TCL, which has won good support among users. Compared to the BBK competitor, it looks just great: it supports not only 4k UHD, but also HDR 10, has a refresh rate of 60Hz and is based on the system Linux. The latter allows it to work well with applications, but setting the broadcast parameters is too difficult for many.

By the way, despite the sophisticated look, the TCL L65P6US weighs about 22.5 kilograms. This fact must be taken into account both during installation and during transportation. Despite the same 2 speakers of 8 W each, this version of the TV screen sounds much better than the BBK: the reason for this is the surround sound function with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS codecs. The model has a drive for recording TV programs, so you can postpone watching your favorite TV series later if serious cases arise. In terms of settings, everything is also fine, but only 8 ms of pixel latency has not gone anywhere.

Advantages

• very good stereo system with surround sound support;
• refresh rate 60 Hz;
• availability of a drive for recording programs;
• wireless support.

disadvantages

• inconvenient and complex setup menu.

BBK 65LEX-8127 / UTS2C

Rating: 4.0

Equipment from BBK is gradually losing its relevance among domestic consumers, and the TV 65LEX-8127 / UTS2C is no big exception to the rule. Despite the fact that its parameters, in general, are similar to competitors, users were able to find several nuances. But first about the pros. It supports 4K UHD high definition, pre-installed Android Smart TV 2019, LED backlight and pre-installed DVB and Teletext receivers. By default, 1100 channels are built into it, and for many this is a decisive factor in favor of a purchase.

The built-in stereo BBK 65LEX-8127 / UTS2C can be called quite good: 2 speakers of 8 W each give high-quality sound, but a subwoofer or soundbar would not be in the way. The picture quality is also impressive: the brightness is adjustable up to 300 cd / m2, the contrast ratio is 4000: 1, and the viewing angles are optimal (178 °). The refresh rate is generally neutral (50 Hz), but the pixel response time of 8ms can be called a slight drawback. We also note the dissatisfaction of users with the speed of installed applications – this means that 2 GB of RAM simply cannot cope with the load.

Advantages

• relatively light weight: 19.3 kg;
• 3 HDMI 2.0 and 2 USB ports;
• good stereo sound (but a full-fledged speaker system does not hurt either).

disadvantages

• there are freezes and freezes of installed applications;
• pixel response time.
