Samsung UE32N5300AU

Advantages: FullHD functionality does not hinder the small weight relatively small frame

Disadvantages: no support for XviD, Divx (Samsung policy since 2018) inconvenient TV guide no 3.5 mm audio output

Comment: After the purchase, there was only one problem, which is what screws to fasten to the bracket. None of those that came with the bracket fit. The problem was solved by purchasing screws M4 30mm. Otherwise, there were no problems. The TV found all channels. I connected to WiFi and does not lose connection. I saw a 1TB hard drive immediately. It is possible to edit the channel list on the pc.

Advantages: Screen, picture quality, viewing angles. Quite fast operating system and hardware. videos from the Internet via WiFi and the built-in browser are viewed as FullHD without brakes. The sound is average, but not bad for this speaker size. Does not squeak and will hold together. I'm happy with the TV, but let's see what happens next (hung up a week ago)

Disadvantages: until I found any flaws.

Comment:

Advantages: 1) Price \ quality. On shares came out 16 thousand. Finding something similar in capabilities for this money is unlikely to succeed. 2) SMART on Tizen, FullHD, the matrix is ​​not bad, light. There are enough multimedia capabilities. 3) The frame around is narrow. There are no old "design highlights" from Samsung in the form of transparent glass, red gradients, etc. 4) Purely for Apple lovers. There is an AppleTV application, AirPlay 2 works.

Disadvantages: 1) Performance. The shell slows down. All blunts do not cause rage, but you should not expect smoothness. 2) Control for an amateur, as well as control of television capabilities. It just takes some getting used to. Channel lists are sorted strangely, or rather, almost only by name (central cable in the house, number). CH List opens a list, but often the additional panel with favorites and sorting is not active for some reason. I hope they will fix it in the new firmware version. The remote takes some getting used to, especially the part with the menu navigation and the "Select" button.The center button itself is tactilely similar to "Up" or "Down" (usually they are more clearly separated in shape), which sometimes leads to pressing the wrong action. Well, that's right, nitpicking. Down button sticks sometimes. 3) Apps for TV control in Apple Store. There are several of them. Samsung Smart View does not see the TV on the WiFi network. Samsung SmartThings is a weird app for the ecosystem from Koreans, but TV controls are awful. Don't even start. 4) A common theme with hard-wired applications in the form of ivi, megogo, etc. 5) Sound. 2x5W will sound better when placed on a table because there is a reflection from the surface. When installed on a wall, it disappears somewhere. 6) After several months of operation, another drawback came to light - Wi-Fi falls off consistently every week several times. 2.4 or 5 GHz connection doesn't matter, just a dump and that's it.

Comment: It may seem that there are more disadvantages, because they are described in more detail. Yes, there are downsides, but they do not spoil the overall experience. You should not expect from a TV in 16 thousand super-clear images and excellent natural color reproduction, marketing will not allow you to do this. Samsung has a lot of matrices for different price ranges, it is especially useless to "beat" in this range. It is worth checking the build quality in the store and visually inspecting it from all sides. Enable and check for highlights, pixels, etc. If you suddenly decide to hang it on the wall. The kit does not include screws for this case. M4x30mm are required, because allowable screw length 26-28mm, i.e. this is the length that goes into the telly + 2-3 MM bracket. Veso 100x100. Although not a music lover, I will most likely hang a budget soundbar via HDMI (ARC) under the TV, there is absolutely no sound. Total. Balanced model, the best or one of the best in this price range.

Advantages: Good image quality, excellent terrestrial receiver, lightweight, clear and convenient remote control.

Disadvantages: Smart slows down a little, thoughtful when switching and the sound is of course mediocre.

Comment: For a small room, that's it! The company's policy poses a choice, either pay money for all sorts of applications or you won't see what you want. Freebies are gradually covered up.

Advantages: Full HD, usually only HD resolution can be found in this diagonal; in general, the picture is good, bright, juicy, contrasting; smart smart, not stupid;

Disadvantages: does not support all codecs; legs 2 and they are located far from each other, you will not put it on a small pedestal.

Comment: I bought it as a gift for my grandmother in her bedroom, and the bedroom is small, so a 32 "diagonal was chosen. For this TV size, it has a rather rare combination of Full HD resolution, a really cool picture (when compared with analogues in the same price category), normal sound ( not ideal, of course, but granny is so delighted at all), as well as smart and quite understandable for an elderly person SmartTV.We did not find another such TV set with such a ratio of low price and decent qualities at the time of purchase. The quality of materials and workmanship is quite acceptable , personally I was not embarrassed by anything, except that it is very light, but it rather surprised, not embarrassed. Naturally, this pure plastic is far from the most "noble origin", but it hangs somewhere on the wall, you don’t touch and do not carry it in your pocket. If you want better, pay more. It looks nice, neat, the frames around the screen are not the thickest and absolutely do not bother. The problem of an external power supply unit (like in laptops it hanging on the power cable) decided on its own: we hung the TV set on a bracket, and a cable and a block were tied to it on clamps. Voila! Yes, even if the TVs are on the curbstone, this block does not think that it somehow embarrassed. All the necessary connectors are there (hdmi, usb, for the antenna, etc.), it naturally connects to the Internet (both by wire and by wi-fi). By the way, about the brackets: we hung it up because the legs are too far apart from each other, we would have to buy a large cabinet for it.The "holes" of a simple universal bracket came up, but the bolts that fasten the TV to it did not. I had to pick a replacement for them in the building "by eye", picked up. Alas, not every movie can be watched on it, it is not "friendly" with a number of codecs (you can see it in the manual of the TV itself), so now they watch movies on it only online through a browser, this scheme suits everyone. As a TV set in the kitchen, or for a granny / mommy, or as a TV for people who don't need super-duper fancy 4K TVs - a great option.

Advantages: Compact. Light. Stable.

Disadvantages: Lack of control buttons on the body. Lack of jack 3.5, you need to buy an adapter from rca to jack mother to connect headphones ... the OS slows down.

Comment: Standard remote control. There are a lot of buttons, but they are too thick ... I can not understand how this machine automatically detects the picture format ... Sony has somehow better implemented it ... It's hard to set channels manually ...

Advantages: Easy to operate. Stable OS.

Disadvantages: The biggest drawback for me is the lack of support for XviD, Divx Not all applications from the appstore are supported by the TV
