The model with non-trivial UE48J6330AU name was in the top of the TV as an inexpensive but functional solution with support for Full HD. 48 inches — balanced size for the average living room or bedroom. I admit, in this category the final choice was difficult to make, as absolutely all manufacturers released in 2015, a huge number of devices with similar characteristics. With all the imposing and Ultra HD devices with curved screens, the most popular remains “flat” 1080p. Not the last role plays and the final product price.
The Korean manufacturer also did a good job. The number of lines updated in 2015, just rolls. Specifically, the model UE48J6330AU refers to the sixth series. I chose a TV with a diagonal of 48’. But sales have a 40-inch version. Similar properties and characteristics are a series and J6200 J6300. So, the difference between them lies in the presence of a dedicated control panel with touch button. With it easier to manage Tizen OS. Complete with J6200 usual “lazy”. In General, there are plenty to choose.

To demand much from UE48J6330AU does not make sense. And yet the TV has lots of cool features. The main thing in “the box” is, of course, the quality of the image. This model uses a matrix VA with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Therefore, UE48J6330AU all right with contrast. It also involved technology Micro Dimming Pro, which software divides the screen area into many pieces and shades when necessary. The model was qualitatively calibrated at the factory. Particularly pleased with the “Movie” mode. In any case, TV is replete with a variety of options to change image quality. For example, there is the ability to customize the white balance by 10 points.
Maybe for someone this point becomes critical when choosing a TV, but UE48J6330AU does not support 3D. For me personally the lack of this technology is not a tragedy. All the hype about 3D long ago subsided. The marketing companies have other targets.
As for functionality, the models 2015, it responds Tizen operating system. The main motive of Samsung is to upgrade to this OS is to optimize the process of writing additional software, and improved multitasking. At the time of the announcement the firmware already had a very large number of applications for every taste and color. Learn more about the Tizen OS, you can read here.

Sony BRAVIA KDL-55W807C
Features:
- Display: 65’, 1920×1080, flat
- Matrix: LCD (*VA)
- 3D: Yes
- SmartTV: Android TV
- Sound: 2x 10W
- Price: 80 000 RUB.
BRAVIA KDL-55W807C acts as an advanced TV with Full HD. W807C line consists of four models with a diagonal of 43 inches, 50 inches, 55 inches and 65 inches, respectively. I didn’t choose a larger model. However, its value exceeds some budget 4K-solution with smaller diagonals. And yet, acquainted with the BRAVIA KDL-55W807C closer, you know what you pay that kind of money.
First — excellent image quality. Sony doesn’t fail and continues to use VA-matrix. Therefore, in contrast with the BRAVIA KDL-55W807C all right — 3300:1. Indeed, on both TVs, the image on the screen looks very deep and realistic. The quality of the transmitted image is also okay. The average deviation of Delta E for gray scale was only 2,45 (less than three is “excellent”). In the test ColorChecker with 24 templates fixed the error in the size of 2.7 with a maximum deviation of 5.06. Just a great result for the mode out of the box! However, it can always be improved. Considering the TV has plenty of picture settings. Most, in my opinion, important is support 10-point white balance calibration.
Finally, the BRAVIA KDL-55W807C okay with moving pictures. Helps MotionFlow technology. When activated, the brightness drops significantly, but other spurious effects and artefacts not seen.

Starting in 2015, Sony in its decisions relies on Android TV. Previous operating system — Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) is seriously criticized, but the partnership with Google has allowed in 2015 to compete with the same Tizen OS and WebOS. In particular, the functionality of Android TV, no complaints at all. Though modified, but this dramatically increases the ability of the multimedia television, after all is added the ability to install apps from the Play Market, including games, and also connect a variety of peripherals, from keyboard to gamepad. Plus Sony TVs allow you to install programs from an external drive. You only need to fill in the APK-file on a flash drive and load it into the program pre-installed “ES file Explorer”.

LG 55EG910V
Features:
- Display: 55’, 1920×1080, curved
- Matrix: OLED
- 3D: Yes
- SmartTV: WebOS
- Sound: 2x 10W
- Price: 135 000 rubles.
For the best Full HD TV BRAVIA KDL-55W807C easily compete model 55EG910V. But we decided to give another award as the most affordable OLED device. In principle, this nomination can only be made between models from LG and one from Panasonic TV. In fact, the only competitor to the LG 55EC930V is a… 55EG910V, but last year’s model equipped with the first, slower version of WebOS. Other manufacturers prefer to watch on the sidelines. Nothing to do, it is Korean giant is betting on OLED. And the TVs work at it year by year better and better, but most importantly — cheaper and cheaper.
55EG910V has a smooth curve of the screen. And therefore at a right angle with a diagonal of 55 inches, he hardly felt. It may not suit those users who want to gain greater immersion. Here the solution is simple: take a large diagonal with a resolution of Ultra HD. Smooth arc allows you to avoid unpleasant to the eye geometric distortion. So that the curves of specific 55EG910V should be considered solely as a design course.
OLED is always a great contrast, tending to infinity. That is why none of the LCD matrix can’t match it for realism and depth of the picture. On the other 55EG910V and image quality. Yes, setting the OLED in General is harder to produce than LCD panels. Apart from trivial functions, such as available 20-point white balance calibration. Also in the settings you can select color coverage: “Original” or “Standard”. In the first case it is slightly higher than the standard Rec. 709.

WebOS has long established itself as a highly functional operating system of LG TVs. The number of programs exceeds the limit. Here the firmware is certainly not inferior to the Tizen OS from Samsung. It is WebOS was the first operating system that has multitasking. This means that you can simultaneously run multiple applications, among which it is always possible to switch. The main “trick” of the second version of WebOS — optimization. In comparison with the first revision of the firmware began to work noticeably faster. All applications open up literally in seconds. Instantly the processed media stored on external drives. The simultaneous launching of multiple tasks (three to five) does not lead to unpleasant slowdown of the interface.

- Matrix: LCD (*VA)
- 3D: Yes
- SmartTV: Firefox OS
- Sound: 2x 10W
- Price: 75 000 rubles.
Panasonic VIERA TX-50CXR800 in our rating acts as the best budget TV with 4K resolution. And yet, the Japanese manufacturer went for a small marketing trick. The fact that Russia is under more prestigious index XR800 sell the European version of the CX700. In the end, the VIERA TX-50CXR800 at 50 inches has a small cost for TV class Ultra HD. Yes, on sale you can find cheaper devices, but they will not be able to compete in terms of image quality with the Japanese model.
Based VIERA TX-50CXR800 lies VA-the matrix. So the TV has a high contrast ratio at 4,000:1. Great result for LCD. Image quality from “Panas” is also okay. The average error for 24 templates ColorChecker fit into two units. The deviation of Delta E on gray scale is also no more than two. With VIERA TX-50CXR800 provided to calibrate white balance and gamma by 10 points. After a detailed configuration of a matrix from the TV to actually get almost perfect scores in grayscale, and the basic shades.

The product line of Panasonic TVs in 2015 moved to a new operating system Firefox OS. At the moment it can’t compete with Tizen, WebOS and Android TV in terms of functionality, but the Japanese has ensured full compatibility with applications from previous firmwares. In principle, the basic set of programs is enough for everyday use. Most in Firefox OS are attracted to the ease of use and logical placement of all controls.

LG 55EG960V
Features:
- Display: 55’, 3840×2160, curved

What could be better than OLED? Only OLED with Ultra HD. For the nomination “the best TV of the year” fought two models: 55EG960V LG and Panasonic TX-65CZR950. But the choice of device from the Korean manufacturer. Because TX-65CZR950 just went on sale at a very high cost. High even against LG 55EG960V.
Just EG960V series has two models. Reward little modification with a diagonal of 55 inches. But a sale is larger 65-inch version. A resolution of Ultra HD and other series: EC980V, EF980V, EC970V and EF950V. They are all worthy of attention. If you have a particular amount of money you can choose the correct OLED. In the presence of a device with curved and flat screens.
LG 55EG960V
55EG960V works well in daylight. The TV screen has an improved anti-reflective coating. The advantages of the device include the presence of a 10-bit panel. It allows you to get more detailed shadows. The panel is well calibrated at the factory, but a large number of settings will increase image quality to perfect. For example, I managed to reduce the errors in grayscale and 0.61, and the ColorChecker test demonstrated the error in the amount of 3 units. In comparison with the 2014 models lost the cloudiness of small objects. This suggests that the noise began to work noticeably better.
An important feature of any 4K TV is upscaling. A device that supports UHD resolution marching around the world for the third year, but content in our country is still very small. Naturally, 55EG960V no problems with video playback lower quality Full HD and HD.
In General, add nothing more. Full range of OLED TVs from LG is the best decision that appeared in 2015.
