When we choose to buy a Smart TV, we should know there are low-end, middle-end and high-end TVs and there is a huge price gap between models of different grades and sizes. I will recommend smart TV from low-end to high-end types in turn, and make the advantages and configuration of models as clear as possible.

Low-end smart TV:

In 2019, Xiaomi TV sold 10 million sets, which shows its popularity. If you have a very limited budget, you need to pay attention to the following points when purchasing low-end smart TV:

RGB real 4K screen, 2GB starting memory, 8GB storage space, it is better to install third-party software.

43 inch low-end machine TCL 43v6, RGB real 4K, configuration is OK, and the price is low enough. T972 chip, A55 four core 1.7GHz high-performance processor, 2GB running memory, 8GB storage space, basic Bluetooth, projection screen, full scene voice assistant, etc. are available. Android system can install third-party software. This model also has a 50 / 55 / 65 inch version, but it's not as cost-effective as Xiaomi.

It is recommended to select Xiaomi TV, 50 inch Xiaomi TV 4A, 55 inch full screen E55A, 65 inch full screen E65A and 75 inch Xiaomi TV 4S for low-end machines above 43 inch.

There are many options for middle-end smart TV and the most cost-effective one is the Honor 55inch OSCA-550A: 2G + 16G memory, RGB real 4K, ultra-thin full screen.

The 55 inch and 65 inch cheap mid-range smart TV are Toshiba 3800C pro (enhanced version), basically the same as the 5900C in configuration. The main difference is the appearance and the 5900C has a metal body.

Hisense Vidaa has just come out with a new model with high cost performance. The configuration is very good. Hisense Vidaa 55V3A (also available in 65 inch version), the new mid-range machine, RGB true 4K, with motion compensation, can significantly improve the smoothness of motion picture. The performance configuration is also very good. A73 dual core + A53 dual core high performance processor, 3Gb operation memory! The appearance is also good-looking, ultra-thin and comprehensive screen, ultra narrow frame, with the latest full scene voice assistant function, Android system, which can install third-party software.

If you have high requirements for appearance, brand and hardware configuration, there are two good middle-end smart TV to choose.

Mid-high-end smart TV:

If your budget is not high, but you still want to experience the HDR effect, feel the excellent performance of the details in the dark, take a look at this.

Toshiba U6900C, 55 inch, 65 inch, 75 inch, chessboard controlled light partition, wide color gamut, motion compensation, 800 nit screen peak brightness, no start-up ads (pay attention to appearance because you may do not like it).

Although the system is not Android, it can now install third-party software, and it also has full scene voice assistant, which is very convenient to use, and the sound effect is also good, and there is no messy advertising, generally speaking, there is no defect. When you turn on the noise reduction function, the motion picture will appear drag shadow. It is recommended to turn off the function and the shadow will disappear.

The configuration / system function of Huawei's smart screen V55I is basically the same as that of the 65 inch version. It also has strip hole light divisions (16), and the peak brightness is almost 450 nit. The color gamut range is quite good, reaching 90% DCI-P3, but the contrast is not as good as that of the 65 inch version. 4GB of running memory is better than the Honor smart screen pro in general. There are two types, a (gray) and B (black). The storage space of version a is larger.

Except the smart TV types mentioned above, there are also other excellent ones such Sony 65'' X9500G, 9500H, Samsung Q80, 82'' RU8000, 85'' X8500G with higher price and larger screen size. Choose the most proper smart TV according to your budget.
