The Top 7 Budget TVs

A new TV is a better technology upgrade for your home but they can be seriously expensive, potentially worth more than your car. If you’re on a budget, there’s good news as 4K smart TVs are available for under $500 and we’ve tested a wide range of cheap options. The technology in this market can be confusing – there’s a lot more to TV specs than resolution and screen size. What you’ll get here is a 4K (Ultra HD) resolution and probably HDR support in one form or another. There will inevitably be sacrifices to make, but often only the things that tech-savvy users will notice.

Here is the list of the best budget TVs

Samsung UE43AU7100

The Samsung UE43AU7100 is a 43-inch LCD TV that is not particularly extravagant in design, isn’t particularly exorbitantly priced – neither high nor low – and its feature list is certainly not a Lord of the Rings-style epic. ..

The UE43AU7100 is a great TV for those who want something that stands out from the crowd. It has a solid build and a carefully balanced image that really seems to have wasted some care and attention. This makes it a great choice for those in the lower end of the TV market, where pressure from increasingly aggressive pricing has resulted in increasingly homogeneous standards in recent years. ..

Toshiba 50UK3163DB

Toshiba’s recent TV ventures have been a mix of the decent, the bad, and the ugly.

The 50-inch 50UK3163DB is a new 50-inch TV that has been designed with the latest in technology and performance in mind. It features an aggressive ’next-gen’ image that is sure to impress you.

Hisense U6G

The Hisense U6G is a simple, average-looking TV. There’s nothing special about it, but it works well and is affordable. ..

The TV has very small bezels and is also thin. If you want to place the TV on a table, the metal brackets are quite stable and can hold the TV firmly. There is very little oscillation. As for ports, you get three HDMI 2.1 ports, one of which has eARC enabled. Similar to most budget TVs with an HDMI 2.1 specification, this one doesn’t offer the full range of features. ..

LG UP8000

The LG UP8000 is an affordable, entry-level 4K TV that replaces the 2020 LG UN7300 and UN8500. It uses an ADS panel that behaves similarly to an IPS panel, but it is not a good choice for a dark room as it has low contrast and lacks local dimming capability to improve performance.

The Acer Predator XB271HU is a good monitor for gaming, but it doesn’t deliver a satisfying HDR experience. It also can’t display a wide color gamut, so vivid colors will appear dull and muted in some HDR content. The monitor has a good response time, so movements in sports or games look clear; however, the 120 Hz backlight flicker causes some image duplication. ..

Roku TV Series 6 TCL (R635)

The TCL 6 Series/R635 2020 QLED is a flagship 4k LED TV that offers a lot of features and capabilities. It is part of the TCL 6-Series, which includes the TCL 6-Series/R646 2021 QLED and the TCL 6-Series/R648 2021 8k QLED. This model comes with Roku TV as an integrated smart interface, making it easy to use and offer a lot of features.

The TV has a mini-LED backlight that allows the screen to stay bright, but while it should give you better control over local dimming zones, local dimming across the array is so-so. It also has the most advanced features people are looking for in a high-end TV like a 120Hz panel and variable refresh rate (VRR) support, but it doesn’t have HDMI 2.1 inputs, so it’s not future-proof for console gaming. ..

Smart TV Samsung NU6900 4K 65 inch

The TV is a good choice for someone looking for an entry-level 4k TV. It comes in a range of affordable sizes and offers good overall performance. However, it is limited to additional functionality as there is no local dimming and judder cannot be removed from any source.

The HDR content on this console doesn’t look as good as the other two options, and it’s not as bright either. It’s a good choice for casual gamers who don’t need the most vibrant colors, but its slow response time can cause some motion blur.

Onn Smart TV 4K Roku 50 inch

The Onn 4K UHD LED Roku Smart TV is a budget TV that is perfect for those who are looking for a good quality television. It has a 50-inch screen, which makes it perfect for watching movies and television shows. The Roku remote is also very easy to use, making it easy to change the channel or change the volume.

The Roku 4K set falls short of our equally affordable competitors on our list of the best TVs. It is available at Walmart and comes with Roku’s easy-to-use smart TV platform. However, it will come with certain setbacks - this review of Onn’s 50-inch Roku 4K smart TV explains what they will look like and whether they should matter to you. ..
