TVs of the new generation. What will we "zombify" with? The main trends in the TV market. Curved TV

The main feature that distinguishes the 2015 Samsung TV models from the previous line is a noticeable increase in the number of devices with ultra-clear screen resolution and curved shape. The South Korean company abandoned the unpromising plasma technology, and also practically stopped producing TVs with 3D support, fully focusing on the development of Smart capabilities based on the Tizen TV platform.

It should be noted that in the current model range, "smart" technologies were not implemented only in Samsung TVs of the most entry-level, but only one 7 series supports a three-dimensional image. Unlike competitors, Samsung has not yet been able to reduce the cost and mass production of TVs based on promising OLED technology.

Marking features and model range

The main change in the labeling of current Samsung TVs is the appearance of the letter J in the index, indicating that the model was released in 2015. As before, all TV receivers intended for the European consumer and equipped with LCD screens with LED backlight Edge LED are indicated by the letters UE at the beginning of the index. They are followed by numbers indicating the size of the diagonal and letter combinations:

JS - Ultra HD extra-class models;
JU - standard models with Ultra HD screens.
J - models with HD or Full HD resolution.

The most recent are the letters indicating the type of tuner used:

AK - support for European standards DVB-T2 / C;
AU or U - DVB-T2/C/S2;
T - dual universal tuners DVB-T2/C/S2.

As before, the latest line of TVs includes models designed for various consumer categories and differ in the level of technical equipment, diagonal size (from 28 to 88 inches), resolution (HD Ready, Full HD and Ultra HD) and price (from 350 $ up to $30,000). This year, Samsung put 62 models on the Russian market, conditionally summarized in 6 series and 22 sub-series:

9 - UEJS9500T(88″, 78″, 65″) UEJS9000T(65″, 55″, 48″);

8 - UEJS8500T(65″, 55″, 48″);

7- UEJU7500U(78″, 65″, 55″, 48″), UEJU7000U(75″, 65″, 55″, 40″);

5 - UEJ5500AU(48″, 55″), UEJ5120AK(40″, 32″), UEJ5100AK(55″, 48″, 40″, 32″);

4 - UEJ4100AK(28″).

UltraHD top class models

In the segment of new TVs with ultra-clear screen resolution, Samsung has singled out a separate category, which included devices of premium equipment and equipment, designating them with the abbreviation SUHD TV.

They differ from regular Ultra HD models:

Improved design (bevelled side faces, corrugated body and an abundance of metal elements);
Curved screen, providing the effect of immersion in the demonstrated plot;
64 times more color gamut due to the use of technology for uniform illumination of the matrix with quantum dotsNanoCrystaldisplay;

Advanced multi-channel speaker system with wireless connectivity to external Wireless Audio Multiroom speakers.

properties of the newSmart platforms

For greater coverage of the user audience, Samsung did not use the already familiar Android-based OS, but began developing a new and promising Tizen TV platform, which has the following advantages:

convenient one-page interface Smart Hub with a launcher that provides quick launch of the most popular applications and recommended content;
a simplified system of wireless connection to peripheral devices, thanks to the use of proprietary Quick Connect and Bootlueth Low Energy technologies;
the possibility of introducing into the intellectual system " smart House» to carry out the function of protection, tracking and warning;
access toweb-cinema "Aiyo", offering video in the formatUltraHD;
the presence of the Briefing on TV service, which performs the functions of a home alarm clock and organizer.

Features of the new model range

A detailed review of Samsung TVs in 2015 reveals the main differences between the series of the line.

4th series is represented by only one entry-level flat-panel model with a diagonal of 28″ without Smart-functions and 3D, and the only one in the line with HD Ready screen resolution. The TV uses standard image enhancement technologies, a 50Hz non-local dimming matrix with a basic CMR 100 motion display index, as well as a minimum number of popular HDMI and USB interfaces. The cost of this model is approximately $350.

5th series The low-end trim level includes TV receivers with Full HD flat screens, as well as Smart capabilities provided by the new Tizen TV operating platform. Older models are distinguished by an improved speaker system with more power, an increased number of HDMI and USB ports, an optional webcam connection, as well as a built-in Wi-Fi module and a tuner of the latest standard for receiving satellite programs. The cost of TVs included in the series ranges from $450 to $1100.

Episode 6 Samsung's mid-range TV receivers are the most extensive in the entire line: it includes more than half of all models, conditionally summarized in 13 subseries. There are Smart TVs with Full HD and Ultra HD resolution, both with flat and curved screens. The high-quality work of image enhancement and upscaling systems is provided by a 4-core Hyper Real Engine processor. TVs of this level already use Micro Dimming Pro and UHD-Dimming local dimming systems.

Screen matrices support a real frame rate of 100 Hz with an improved CMR 200 dynamic scene index. All TVs in the series are equipped with the maximum number of HDMI and USB ports, a full set of universal DVB-T2/C/S2 tuners, and optionally allow you to connect a webcam. In addition to standard remote controls, some models already include their "smart" versions of Samsung Smart Control. Full HD TVs range from $550 to $2800, while Ultra HD TVs range from $800 to $1900.

Episode 7(pre-top) - completely Ultra HD and the only one in which there are TVs that support a three-dimensional image. An extended level of image contrast is provided by the most advanced version of Micro Dimming Precision Black Pro local dimming. Screen matrices support a hardware frame rate of 200 Hz, and the motion display index has been increased to 1000 units. All models come with an optional Smart Remote, and the headliner of the series features an upgraded 40-watt speaker system with two subwoofers. The price of the models ranges from $1400 to $10,000.

Episode 8(top) in terms of technical equipment is practically in no way inferior to the flagship models, differing from them only in some design features. Starting with it, all 2015 Samsung TVs meet the high standards of SUHD TV with evenly backlit Quantum dots nanocrystals, have a curved screen shape and are equipped with a double set of tuners that allow you to use the picture-in-picture and delayed viewing functions.

Efficient work image enhancement and upscaling algorithms are produced by a 4-core SUHD Remastering Engine. The hardware frame rate is the same as in the previous series, but the software dynamics improvement index is the limit of 1200 units. Depending on the width of the diagonal, the cost of models can range from $2,500 to $4,500.

Episode 9(flagship) differs from the previous one in the presence in the models of a more productive 8-core SUHD Remastering Engine processor, a powerful 60-watt speaker system and full HDR color gamut support. In addition, the flagship TV UEJS9500T equipped not with an optional, but with a built-in webcam. The cost of such models starts from $2,600 and reaches $30,000.

The well-known European organization EISA, which brings together fifty reputable print publications covering technical developments in the field of video and sound, has prepared another report on the landmark novelties of this season. Among the outstanding samples of modern stationary and mobile audio, video and photographic equipment, the best TVs of 2014-2015 were also named.

The selection of the most iconic models of 2014-2015 sold in Europe was carried out in 4 categories:

Premium TV;

Smart TV;

Full HD TV;

TV format Ultra HD (4K).

LG77EC980V is the best premium TV

The 77-inch OLED TV LG 77EC980V with an original concave screen shape won a well-deserved victory in this nomination.

Her characteristic feature In addition to the innovative shape of the ultra-high resolution OLED screen, there is a special technology for forming a matrix according to the WRGB color scheme, in which another white LED has been added to the traditional subpixels of the three RGB primary colors. Thanks to this, it was possible to significantly expand the color gamut of the screen, and the image on it became unusually bright, contrasting and natural. Moreover, for such OLED TVs, the concept of “limiting viewing angles” has lost its relevance.

In addition, the premium 77EC980V TV has implemented all of LG's most advanced technological developments: the latest WebOS Smart Platform with forward-looking capabilities, a polarized 3D imaging system, a comprehensive set of modern interfaces and a stylish design.

LG 55LB870V - Best Smart TV

LG's 55LB870V TV model received a clear victory in this nomination due to the new and very promising Smart-platform WebOS, previously purchased by Koreans from the American company Hewlett-Packard.

The new "smart" platform features an intuitive system of access to the most popular web-sites and services, the ability to customize the user's preferences, as well as impressive multitasking. Easier management of the Smart-capabilities of the model is provided by a specially adapted Magic Remote control, as well as an interactive TV setup assistant, seamlessly integrated into its software.

A set of dedicated software and hardware to improve picture and sound, combined with an original thin design and Full HD resolution, make this TV perfect choice even for very sophisticated users.

Samsung UE55H7000 is the best Full HD TV

In this nomination, the brainchild of the South Korean company Samsung, the UE55H7000 TV model, turned out to be the recognized leader. It was her ability to transmit the highest quality television picture in Full HD resolution that determined the unequivocal choice of EISA specialists.

High contrast ratios were achieved using the company's proprietary Micro Dimming Pro local dimming technology, while a powerful quad-core Quad Core processor ensured smooth transmission of fast-moving objects and overall performance of the TV.

Given the availability of a special remote control Smart Touch Control, the ability to calibrate the screen, the exhaustive list of wired and wireless switching methods implemented in the UE55H7000 model, as well as its unforgettable Floating Canvas design, we can say that the choice of EISA is quite understandable.

Sony KD-65X9005B - Best Ultra HD (4K) TV

In this nomination, the best model was the development of the Japanese company Sony of a premium level with the KD-65X9005B index. This TV can be called the most advanced device to date, capable of perfectly displaying ultra-high-definition content with multi-channel sound. For KD-65X9005B, the type of device that is the source of ultra-clear content, as well as the methods of switching and data transmission used by it, practically does not matter.

The 65-inch screen matrix of the TV is built according to the unique proprietary development of Triluminos, which significantly expands the color range and is able to reproduce natural colors and shades. And the well-coordinated work of two revolutionary technologies 4K X-Reality PRO and X-Tended Dynamic Range allows not only to qualitatively scale any low-resolution video to 4K, but also to significantly expand the dynamic range of the screen.

Among other things, this model demonstrates serious sound capabilities. The KD-65X9005B's thin body, made in Sony's signature Wedge design, incorporates a new type of Magnetic Fluid speakers that solve the main problem of such panels - the lack of deep sound.

For the most inveterate music lovers, who especially value rich bass, Sony offers its proprietary development - an additional external subwoofer SWF-BR100, synchronized with a TV via a wireless channel.

Reviews:

The largest manufacturers of television equipment annually present their innovative products to the general public. In 2015, South Korean brands LG and Samsung, Japanese Sony and Panasonic, European Philips clashed in the next round of fierce struggle for the consumer. Each corporation has brought unique TVs to the world market, in which advanced technologies of the 21st century are implemented, which only yesterday seemed fantastic. It is still difficult to determine the future record holder in terms of market demand, as sales are just starting in the second half of 2015, or are planned in the near future. The proposed review is intended to acquaint the audience with the main features of the flagships and give an orientation on their prices.

Samsung JS9500: breakthrough SUHD technology

The JS9500 range is represented by SUHD TVs with a screen diagonal of 88, 78 and 65 inches. Equipped with a 10-bit LCD matrix and local LED backlight. The developers have applied technology based on quantum dots. This provided a color reproduction that is more than 60 times higher than that of conventional TVs. It is possible to support HDR standards. Moreover, the detailing of Ultra HD is more perfect than with Full HD and makes it possible to see the smallest details of the picture, absolutely inaccessible in previous versions.

All JS9500 models are pre-installed with Tizen OS, making them genuine smart TVs. And although there are some complaints about the new OS, it provides the viewer with many tempting opportunities, from working with PlayStation Now, Comcast, Netflix, to the Quick Connect function, which provides for displaying images from gadgets on the TV panel.

The great features of the new TV from Samsung are reflected in the abbreviation SUHD, more precisely in its first letter, which symbolizes 4 words at once, which are translated into Russian as “smart, exciting, luxurious, stylish”. The cost is directly proportional to these qualities: on the Amazon website, 65-inch models are offered at a starting price of $4,997.99. Fans of huge screens will have to pay much more.

Panasonic CR850, CX800 - excellent color reproduction and Firefox OS

Pictured CR850

The new series of the Japanese company Panasonic, namely CX800 and CR850, include models with flat and curved panel designs. The diagonal size is 40, 50, 55, 65 inches and 55.65 inches, respectively. The creators used innovative technologies for video processing: a super-bright HDR panel with the highest image quality 4K and local dimming Pro. Ultra HD - resolution with an unprecedented wide color gamut: 98% DCI-P3 (10-bit). For comparison, Samsung JS9500 TVs have this figure of 92%. The contrast, brightness, image clarity of Panasonic's flagship TVs can impress even the most sophisticated consumers.

CX800

The functionality of the device is provided by the 4K Studio Master 9 processor (quad-core). Users will be able to try out the latest Firefox operating system. Experts note three properties of the interface - high speed, stability and friendliness, although in terms of functionality it is a little more modest than Android TV. Excellent image quality combined with a relatively low price. The Panasonic TX-65CR850 will cost $5,110 and the CX800 $3,717, according to UK stores.

Philips PUS8700, PUS8600 and upcoming 9000 series

In 2015, the Dutch company Philips introduces two series of TVs to the world market at once: 8000 and 9000. The curved PUS8700 and flat PUS8600 lines are represented by 55- and 65-inch panels. The new PUS8700 TVs are technically more advanced, which is reflected in the presence of Ambilight Spectra 4 backlighting. The PUS8600 series uses the previous version of Ambilight Spectra 3. The rest of the parameters are basically the same.

Excellent image quality is provided by Ultra HD, Edge LED technologies. Smart TV features are supported by the enhanced Android 5.0 Lollipop platform. The user gets almost free access to any network applications. Searching the web can be done by voice.

If there is enough information about the PUS8700, PUS8600 models, then the characteristics of the 9000 series TVs are still a matter of discussion, perhaps it should be expected in early 2016. It is assumed that these will be LCD panels with an increased level of color reproduction, HDR support and the Android TV platform. In the autumn at IFA 2015 it will be known whether this is true. Closer to this date, the manufacturer will also announce the cost, but for now, experts believe that it will be significantly lower than the cost of SUHD TVs.

Video review Philips 9100 Series Smart TV:

While the market currently has various models screen sizes from 32 inches to over 100 inches, choosing the right device for your budget and available space is no easy task. If you're getting ready to watch a Super Bowl match, it might be better to get something bigger and brighter. In case you are a fan of the Criterion Collection films, then completely different parameters are important here. Comparing different characteristics, it is quite difficult to decide which model is the best. Every device in the HDTV category has its strengths and trade-offs. Here we have selected the most best models ranging from affordable 32-inch TVs to the latest models with OLED screens.

Prices are falling rapidly as retailers try to get rid of the old range - and this, in particular, applies to all TVs. However, many last year's models are good for the present time. For the most part, the obvious changes that can be seen in 2015 have only affected high-end TVs. Buying a regular HDTV on sale at the end of the year can be very, very profitable. And if you like any Ultra HD TV, then you can buy it for a price that is half that of what it was at the beginning of 2014.

The best 32-inch TV in the price / quality ratio

We were pleased to see that Vizio has done a job with its TV line that is often neglected by other manufacturers. The developers have spruced up the 322i-B1 in the same way as the other large models in the Vizio line, equipping it with cutting-edge features such as a full array LED backlight (for increased contrast) and one of the clearest and most intuitive interfaces we have ever seen in a smart TV device. Also included is a great remote control. remote control, which has a QWERTY keyboard on the back that makes it easy to enter profile passwords and search in video streaming applications. Color reproduction (when the calibration mode is selected) is nice and accurate, and image detail on the 1080p screen is quite crisp. I wish black levels were deeper here, but this problem is only noticeable when watching certain content (for example, the movie "Gravity"). For the most part, the M322i-B1 is amazing, especially when you consider that it's priced around $300.

Price: $ 296

Our assessment: 8/10

Best 32-inch TV for picture quality

Videophiles living in small apartments will appreciate the UN32H5500. In our lab tests (in Cinema mode) it delivered near-perfect results. The same level of quality was noted when testing in a typical environment - the device showed greater transmission accuracy and excellent shadow detail.
Clear images are also reproduced by its 1080p screen. Perhaps based on the experience of other companies like Vizio, Samsung has developed an advanced smart TV interface that is quite easy to manage.
So what's the catch? For better performance, you will have to pay $100 more.

Price: $ 400

Our assessment: 8.5/10

Best 40" TV/Best Smart TV

TVs with new sizes appear as manufacturers try to differentiate their models, and the winner in the 40-inch category is 40H4C. Hisense may not be a well-known name in the United States, but Chinese TV is still going strong with the launch of a new line of smart TVs created in collaboration with Roku, a manufacturer of digital TV receivers.

The interface of the 40H4C is superior to others by using a simple but nice design without ostentatious luxury and complexity. It is able to recognize the mix of content that viewers are currently watching. We easily switched from cable TV to a Blu-ray player, Netflix, Hulu Plus (with about 2,000 channels on Roku), and other sources.

On top of that, the Hisense 40H4C delivers amazing picture quality with pleasing color reproduction, rich hues, impressive shadow detail, and smooth motion, even though the refresh rate is only 60Hz.

Price: $ 350

Our assessment: 9/10

Best 50" TV/Best Medium TV

The $600 TC-55AS530U will give you a great big screen performance experience without breaking the bank. Colors are natural and accurate in almost all kinds of content (when switched to cinema mode), although yellows and reds can sometimes be a little on the low side. Black levels are incredibly good, even when compared to more expensive TVs with more advanced technology. Movies are played back smoothly thanks to the TC-55AS530U's efficient 1080p/24 mode, which mimics the rhythm of movie playback in a movie theater. This smart TV has a rich selection of apps including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Pandora and MLB. and last but not least for a living room staple, the TC-55AS530U features an attractive design with an ultra-thin bezel around the 1080p screen and a sturdy, minimalist stand.

Price: $ 600

Our assessment: 9.5/10

Best high-end LCD TV - value for money

Not only did Samsung pack the 8000 series with every feature and technology that its engineers could possibly bring to the table, it also managed to deliver the best picture quality that an LED-backlit LCD can deliver. The 55-inch UN55F8000 is the sweet spot in terms of price, size and performance. The faster internal processor provides a host of smart features, including a video camera, voice and gesture control, a cable TV control device, and an advanced touch remote control interface for switching between TV broadcasts and online programs on the screen. (Plus, Samsung offers more smart TV features than any other TV manufacturer.) More importantly, the device boasts image quality to match all of these features. Thanks to advanced local dimming and the corresponding dark scene detail detection, the LCD screen reproduces an image of almost the best quality. Colors also look natural and aren't oversaturated in the way lower quality TVs often are.

Price: $ 1600

Our assessment: 9/10

Best 70" TV

If the main factor that drives you to buy a TV is the desire to get a device with the largest possible screen, then take a closer look at this 70-inch model from Sharp. The Series 6 delivers impressive performance for moviegoers and sports fans alike. It doesn't come with high-end features like Sharp's four-color Quattron technology, which improves color reproduction, or local dimming, which boosts contrast. But in return for all these subtle quality enhancements, you get a fairly large screen for watching exciting Super Bowl matches or movies just like in a movie theater. In addition, the TV has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and connectivity to popular services such as Netflix and Hulu. And so that when off, the environment is not overshadowed by the dark panel of the TV, Sharp has a “wallpaper” function that allows the screen to change between various pre-loaded artistic or personal photos stored on the USB flash drive.

Price: $ 1700

Our assessment: 9.5/10

Best 4K/Ultra HD TV

A high-definition television is not cheap. At least this applies to those models that have high quality according to the format. Samsung UN50HU8550 offers the best combination price and performance that is possible with a 4K/Ultra HD TV.

Black levels are particularly deep here, and brightness is even across all parts of the screen (which is a challenge for all LCD TVs). Color reproduction is accurate and very pleasing to the eye. The UNHU8550 reproduces 1080p content perfectly.

And this is good - after all, it is the video of this format that you will mainly watch. Ultra HD content also looks great, which is not surprising.

Price: $ 1800

Our assessment: 8.5/10

Best 4K/Ultra HDTV

The 65-inch XBR-65X900B is a definite improvement over many other standard HD devices. Colors are sharper, image elements (even individual strands of hair) are clearly visible. Black levels are particularly deep, another advantage of the OLED screen. Good shadow detail is also retained, so you can take full advantage of high resolution.

Sony offers a proprietary $700 4K Ultra HD Media Player to store purchased or rented downloads from Sony Pictures. Available 4K content ranges from Breaking Bad and Ghostbusters to Funny Girl. In addition, the device performs upscaling of HD content. Add built-in speakers to this “bouquet” and you get a full-fledged 4K device.

Price: $ 3500

Our assessment: 9.5/10

Best OLED TV

If your first priority is to create a home theater, then perhaps the LG 55EC9300 model with a curved screen and a not very high price deserves your attention. OLED delivers absolute black levels and therefore incredible contrast that no other screen can achieve. In this regard, he surpassed even the best plasma panels. Color reproduction is not only stunning (as expected from an OLED screen), but also quite accurate.

The LG 55EC9300 maintains proper color and contrast quality even when viewing the screen from a wide angle (another advantage of OLED). It also impresses with LG's Web OS, one of the most intuitive and undeniably beautiful smart TV interfaces. The construction of the TV itself, which for the most part is only a quarter of an inch thick. slightly separated from the screen with an almost non-existent bezel.
