Rating of TVs priced up to 20,000 rubles in 2021

If you are planning to buy a TV in the price range of up to 20,000 rubles, then the right decision would be to pay attention not only to little-known brands, whose service centers are not always within close reach. Time-tested popular brands do not leave the budget and mid-price segments of the market without their lines of electrical appliances that are optimal in technical equipment, elegant in design and generally easy to use.

The category includes equipment with a screen diagonal from 10 to 55 inches. Therefore, from a wide range you can choose the ideal device for any room size and purpose. There are models on sale that incorporate both HD technology and Full HD or one of the best 4K UHD technology at the moment. There are also devices that support Wi-Fi, which ensures operation in Smart TV mode. You get additional access to online resources; if you have a special option, you can create a home network that unites several different types of gadgets. From our rating you will find out which models are in maximum consumer demand and have proven themselves to be among the most reliable in operation.

How to choose a TV under 20,000 rubles

Considering the maximum cost of TV, the user can count on:

1. Screen diagonal from 23 to 50 inches.
2. Resolution HD (1280 x 720, 1366 x 768), Full HD (1920 x 1080), rarely 4K (3840 x 2160).
3. Smart TV features that offer the best TV and allow you to install third-party applications to watch video content over an Internet cable or Wi-Fi.

Regardless of the model, the matrix will be a variation of the LCD panel (IPS, TN, VA), which displays the image using backlighting. The latter comes in two types:

1. Edge LED - LEDs are located along the edges of the display. This type is used to reduce the thickness of cases. Its disadvantage is the white “spots” from the lamps, noticeable in dark scenes.
2. Direct LED is conventionally the “top” solution for LCDs, since the LEDs are located over the entire screen area, which contributes to rich color rendering.

If a TV is purchased to watch terrestrial TV channels, you need to check the presence of a built-in digital tuner DVB-T/T2, cable C and satellite S/S2. To unlock encrypted frequencies, use a slot for a CI/CI+ card. Consoles, players, and set-top boxes are connected via HDMI, so the more inputs, the better.

In 2021, the built-in media player that plays content from a drive connected to USB deserves attention. Please note:

1. Port version - optimal 2.0/3.0. This indicator affects the speed of data exchange between the flash card/hard drive and the TV and determines how “weighty” the file can be played back without lags or slowdowns.
2. Supported formats to avoid converting content with loss of quality.
