In October 2017, Germany’s well-respected third-party testing organization "Test" conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 20 television models. The brands included major names such as Metz, Loewe, Philips, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, and LG. The TVs ranged in size from 32 inches to 50 inches and came with price tags between 2,000 and 10,000 yuan (RMB). The assessment covered five key areas: display quality, sound performance, operating system efficiency, versatility, and environmental friendliness along with energy savings.
The results showed that TVs in the 40-43 inch and 48-50 inch categories performed best, offering superior viewing experiences. In contrast, some smaller 32-inch models had notable issues with both image and audio quality, especially those from LG and Philips.
Interestingly, higher prices didn’t always translate into better performance. A large Loewe TV priced at 16,000 euros ranked among the worst in its category, while more affordable options like the Samsung UE32M5650 and the LG 43UJ6309 delivered excellent value for money, proving that cost-effective choices can still offer high-quality performance.
When it came to display quality, the test involved several rigorous evaluations. The TVs were tested using different input sources such as TV antennas, satellite signals, and cable connections, as well as through HDMI for high-definition content. Additionally, testers simulated real-life scenarios, including fast-moving scenes, bright lighting conditions, and various viewing angles.
The findings revealed that medium and large-sized TVs generally outperformed their smaller counterparts, particularly in dynamic scenes where small TVs often suffered from motion blur or pixel clustering. The Samsung models UE49MU6409 and UE40MU6179 stood out for their exceptional picture quality.
Sound quality was also evaluated, focusing on volume, clarity, and comfort. While the German brand Metz (model Cosmo 43) excelled in sound performance across different situations, smaller TVs like the LG 32LJ610V and Philips 32PFS4132 scored poorly. Overall, smaller TVs lagged behind in audio quality, making them less ideal for immersive viewing experiences.
For those concerned about energy consumption and safety, the test also assessed power usage and flame retardant materials. Among the smaller TVs, the older Metz model Cosmo 32 performed best, while the LG 43UJ6309 and Samsung UE49MU6409 were top performers in their respective size categories.
**Consumer Advice:**
1. **Bigger is Better**: Larger TVs provide a more immersive and comfortable viewing experience.
2. **Improve Sound Quality**: Poor built-in sound can be enhanced by connecting external speakers or a soundbar, especially if the TV is mounted on the wall.
3. **Opt for Newer Models**: Newer TVs are typically more energy-efficient and technologically advanced.
4. **Be Wary of 4K Hype**: While 4K offers more pixels, many everyday viewers may not notice a significant difference over Full HD.
5. **Avoid 3D for Young Children**: Passive 3D technology is more comfortable than active 3D, but children under 12 should avoid prolonged use due to potential effects on visual development.
