Greetings, dear readers. If you visited our website, then you probably want to look for a good, reliable, durable and high-quality TV. Indeed, now this type of technology is so popular that televisions can often be found in every room in the house. It is very difficult to make the right choice, because in addition to the many models, there are a dozen more characteristics that you definitely need to look at in order to really choose the device you need.
However, it is not only TVs for the home that are popular. Many buyers often look for TVs for their summer cottage. As a rule, these are inexpensive and moderately functional TVs, which are designed to simply “bounce” in the background. But there are also more demanding buyers who need a multifunctional TV for their dacha, and always with Internet access. That is why we are making this article for you, in which you will learn about the best TVs for the garden, and not necessarily expensive ones.
TCL LED24D3000
- Screen diagonal: 24 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Approximate price: 7500 rub.
The compact TV from TCL is the smallest model in our selection. It looks a little old school, which is not surprising since it hit the market in 2021. But it does not take up much space and can be installed even in a small country kitchen. The screen is matte, with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz - in other words, the picture on the screen will be clear and smooth. Thanks to 178° viewing angles, you can watch TV from anywhere in the room. The model is equipped with two HDMI inputs and a connector for connecting USB flash drives.
LG 26LD355: simple and elegant
The appearance of this TV may seem classic at first glance, but it is not. Even with a quick inspection, the bold combination of black and wine colors in the design attracts attention. The TV body itself is made in a strict black color scheme, which is successfully complemented by a dark burgundy insert at the bottom of the screen. Despite such an unusual but elegant façade, the device will fit perfectly into any interior.
LG 26LD355
The basis of the TV is an eight-bit LCD matrix with a response time of 5 ms and a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Wide viewing angles (178 degrees in vertical and horizontal planes) allow you to comfortably watch movies anywhere in the room. To obtain high-quality color images, the TV supports an advanced color management system - WCC. The new product works with all current image resolutions up to 1080p and 1080p/24.
The main advantage of LG technology has always been ease of setup and control. This model was no exception. You can use the built-in factory presets to get a high-quality picture, and if none of them suits you, the proprietary PictureWizard 2 image quality adjustment wizard is at your service. Using it, you will be able to perfectly adjust the picture to your needs in just two minutes on the screen and save the settings in the TV memory.
To receive TV programs there are analog and digital DVB-T/C tuners. When working in the DVB-T/C standard, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) decoding is supported.
If you get bored of watching broadcast programs, the built-in media player is at your service. Using a high-speed USB 2.0 port, you can watch movies in almost all popular formats, including MPEG4 standard and high definition, listen to MP3 music, and show digital slides on a 26-inch screen.
On the TV's patch panel you will find all the ports necessary for full operation. There are also two HDMI terminals at your service, one of which the developers have thoughtfully placed on the side panel.
Vityaz 32LH0202
- Screen diagonal: 31.5 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Approximate price: 7000 rub.
The TV from the Belarusian manufacturer Vityaz is a budget version of a 32-inch panel for the dacha. This is a simple and high-quality device with a minimum of functions - there is a USB for connecting external drives with movies and music, connectors for set-top boxes and a DVD player, a sleep timer and a child lock. The TV also has relatively powerful 2x8 W speakers and an output for connecting an external audio system. Smart TV, of course, is not available for that kind of money.
Mystery MTV2422LD: compact station wagon
It would seem that today it is already very difficult to surprise the buyer by simply releasing a TV in a classic black case. But with a professional approach to business, nothing is impossible, and in the new Mystery MTV-2422LD device, the classic black color is very impressively emphasized by a transparent edging. Despite the fact that in addition to the TV, there is also a built-in DVD player inside the device, its body is only 23 mm thick. This became possible thanks to the use of a new ultra-thin DVD drive.
Mystery MTV2422LD
The Mystery TV uses a fast (5 ms response time) Full HD LCD matrix, which is quite rare for this screen size. The technical characteristics of the TV in terms of brightness level and contrast ratio are fully consistent with modern requirements. The only thing we can slightly blame the developers for is the small viewing angle in the vertical plane - only 160 degrees, with 170 degrees in the horizontal.
To receive over-the-air TV channels, there is a built-in analog tuner with a memory for 200 stations. Among the additional services, the TV has a built-in teletext decoder.
The capabilities of the sound path of the new product from Mystery are quite sufficient for watching television news programs. The speaker system produces 3 W of power per channel, and supports audio decoding in the NICAM format.
As we have already noted, the model is equipped with a multi-format DVD player, compatible with popular audio and video formats including DIVx, XviD, JPEG and the MP3 audio codec. It’s nice that these same formats are also supported when working with portable media via the TV’s built-in USB port.
To connect external devices to the TV, it is equipped with all popular terminals. The arsenal includes a composite and component port, S-Video, SCART, and HDMI.
Telefunken TF-LED32S86T2S
- Screen diagonal: 31.5 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Approximate price: 7000 rub.
A model from the German brand Telefunken with a diagonal of 31.5 inches costs a little more than 7,000 rubles, but supports Wi-Fi and Smart TV. If you have the Internet at your dacha, then you can install applications on your TV and launch movies and TV series directly from the browser. The device supports recording to a USB drive and has a neat design: thin frames and very small legs.
Otherwise, everything is typical: the matrix resolution is 1366*768 pixels, a pair of 8 W speakers, the ability to mount to a wall via VESA 100*100... The contrast and viewing angles are quite decent, so the image will be clearly visible from any corner of the room.
Philips 26PFL3405/12: ideal for any conditions
This elegant Philips TV will serve you well not only in the country, but also at home. The design of the device is made in the company's corporate style without sharp corners and in the current range of gloss black, and the dark burgundy insert at the bottom of the screen gives the new product a special charm.
The TV uses a TFT matrix with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and a response time of 8 ms. To obtain a bright and contrasting picture, the developers equipped the Philips 26PFL3405/12 with LED backlighting. LED backlighting combined with DigitalCrystalClear technology allows you to get extremely clear images regardless of the signal source. This is achieved through the use of special image processing algorithms that digitally adjust and optimize the quality of the video sequence, providing optimal values of contrast, color and sharpness. At the same time, according to the manufacturer, the processor is capable of processing up to 28.9 billion colors, which made it possible to achieve the most accurate reproduction of the smallest color nuances.
Philips 26PFL3405/12
Unfortunately, the Philips device is equipped only with an analog television tuner; the developers do not provide a digital tuner.
The TV's sound path is stereophonic, supporting the NICAM encoding system. The amplifier output power is 2x5 W, and IncredibleSurround technology is also at your service to obtain a surround sound effect. The deep and rich sound of this model is in complete harmony with high image quality.
The TV's patch panel contains all the ports that are relevant in a home theater, including a digital HDMI terminal.
Controlling the TV using the proprietary graphic menu is easy and convenient. Among the additional service features, it is worth noting the built-in teletext decoder with a memory of 1000 pages, as well as a timer, on and off, and a built-in alarm clock.
BBK 32LEX-7027/T2C
- Screen diagonal: 32 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Estimated price: 9000 rub.
Another small and smart TV for the garden is the 32-inch BBK LEX series with HD resolution. Its main feature is 135 pre-configured TV channels, 67 of which are completely free in the first month of using the device. The model uses Android TV and supports all popular online cinemas, radio stations and social networks. The TV is equipped with a built-in DVB-T/T2/C tuner and allows you to record your favorite programs to an external drive.
About TVs with a built-in tuner
The gadgets are equipped with HDTV technology, which means that users will watch programs, TV series, and movies without interference or noise. The image will be clear and bright, without ripples, black and white stripes, or disturbances in the scale. With the modern DVB format built into the firmware, signal digitization occurs by default. You just need to correctly configure the equipment itself and synchronize the remote control if necessary. The receiver type is indicated immediately after the format characters. The following types exist: DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-S, DVB-S2. A gadget that supports DVB-T2 reception will decode over-the-air broadcasts received in Russia using a built-in tuner.
The letter T indicates the connection of an terrestrial tuner, and S - a satellite receiver. The number “2” means a new generation, that is, reception of a higher quality signal, an increase in the number of channels. Now the top includes those TVs that have both types of connection. Below are the best models that have digital signal receivers installed.
Samsung 32N4000
- Screen diagonal: 32 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Approximate price: 13,000 rub.
If you are confused by not very popular brands, and your budget is limited, you can pay attention to this Samsung model. It is not new, model year 2018, but is still popular. It costs about 13,000 rubles, for this money you get a device with excellent image quality. The TV supports Clean View, which reduces noise and interference in TV broadcasts, as well as Wide Color Enhancer technology, which enhances color and contrast. Can work in picture-in-picture mode and play content from USB.
But you need to understand that a well-known brand cannot compete with lesser-known ones in terms of the number of functions for a certain budget. You won't find a Smart TV in the Samsung 32N4000 - in fact, many people don't need it.
Panasonic VIERA TXLR22X20: complete harmony
The Panasonic VIERA TX-LR22X20 TV is made in a classic black color scheme. The smooth contours of the case and table stand perfectly complement the stylish appearance of the new product.
Panasonic VIERA TX-LR22X20
The Panasonic device uses a widescreen (16:9) LCD matrix with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. High levels of brightness and contrast ratio combined with wide viewing angles allow you to get an excellent image on the screen with the purest and most realistic colors. Much of the credit for this goes to the proprietary 3D Color Management technology. Using special algorithms, the processor optimizes video parameters to achieve maximum image quality. To quickly adjust the picture quality, the developers have provided as many as five presets: Dynamic, Normal, Cinema, TrueCinema mode and Game. It is especially worth focusing on the TrueCinema mode, because it is in it that on the TV screen you can see a picture as close as possible to the cinema. Well, if you brought a game console with you on vacation, use the game mode. In it, the picture will delight you with the impeccable quality of the transmission of motion-rich scenes, bright and rich colors.
The built-in processor-interpolator ensures correct operation of the TV with all current resolutions, ranging from 480i/p to 1080p and 1080p/24.
To receive on-air television programs, the Panasonic model is equipped with analog and digital DVB-T tuners. There is also a built-in teletext decoder with a memory of 1000 pages.
The built-in speaker system is capable of delivering up to 10 W of sound power per channel, and V-AudioSurround technology is used to create a surround sound field. In it, the processor generates surround sound using the effect of reflection of sound waves, having previously accurately measured the acoustic parameters of the room.
Econ EX-39HS001B, 39 inches
- Screen diagonal: 39 inches
- Screen resolution: 1366×768 pixels.
- Approximate price: 15,000 rub.
Another large TV is a model from the Russian manufacturer Econ with a diagonal of 39 inches.

The built-in media player allows you to play files from USB drives, and a large set of interfaces allows you to connect any set-top box or router. The TV also has quite powerful 20 W speakers with support for NICAM stereo sound and a Dolby Digital decoder.
What is digital TV
This is a television receiver that has a built-in tuner that provides reception of terrestrial and (or) satellite digital signals.
The answer to the popular question whether all TVs support digital television is actually simple: DVB-T2 - all except the cheapest models, but budget TV receivers do not have a DVB-S2 tuner.
3 main accepted digital standards:
- DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) – in European countries;
- ATSC - in the USA;
- ISDB - in Japan;
- DTMB - in China.
TV with built-in digital DVB-T2 tuner
In the Russian Federation, the terrestrial digital format DVB-T2 has been used since 2012. The transition to the second generation took place practically without broadcasting television and radio channels in the DVB-T format.
Therefore, in order to watch TV channels in excellent quality and without interference, a citizen needs to purchase a TV with a built-in set-top box for digital television, if one does not already exist at home or in the country, supporting the presented format.
DVB-T2 and DVB-T are incompatible with each other! A television receiver equipped with a T tuner, not a T2, will not show digital numbers in 2019.
TV with built-in digital tuner DVB-S2
If a citizen in a remote village , where the terrestrial television signal does not reach, likes to watch his favorite programs, he needs to purchase a set of satellite equipment from one of the popular providers (for example, NTV +).
If your TV is old, it probably does not have a built-in DVB-S2 tuner. In this case, you will have to buy:
- “plate”;
- receiver;
- HDMI or RCA cable (for connecting the receiver to the TV set).
If you buy a modern TV receiver that supports DVB-S2, then a set of equipment for receiving television and radio channels will cost many times less.
You just have to buy:
- satellite dish;
- and a conditional access module (CAM), into which the satellite operator card will be inserted (this can be purchased from a provider, for example, Tricolor).
All you need to do is insert the card into the CAM module itself, find a PCMCIA slot on the TV and connect it there. Then carry out standard actions - that is, set up the antenna for the satellite, specify the local oscillator frequencies in the TV receiver settings and start searching for channels.
Hartens HTV-40F01-T2C
- Screen diagonal: 40 inches
- Screen resolution: 1920×1080 pixels.
- Approximate price: 12,000 rub.
Still don’t believe that a large TV can cost 14,000 rubles? Then look at the model from the Russian manufacturer Hartens - it is a 40-inch panel with high Full HD resolution. The device does not support Smart TV and is suitable for country houses that do not have Internet access. The TV has a compact body and neat legs, and together with the stand the device weighs only 6.7 kg - it can be safely hung on the wall in a country house.

How to choose a TV for digital television
To watch broadcast television in digital format, you need:
- buy a TV that can process a DVB-T2 signal;
- if you don’t want to buy new equipment, just take a DVB T2 set-top box from the store (prices for the simplest types of set-top boxes start at 800 rubles) and connect it to any television receiver (including a picture tube).
The choice of a TV with a built-in digital receiver can be made based on one or a combination of the following factors:
- screen diagonal (in stores there are both very small models with a diagonal of 19 inches and large TV receivers of 60 inches or more);
- matrix technology (LCD, LED, OLED, QLED, Nano Cell, etc.);
- brand (the most popular manufacturers are LG, Samsung, Phillips, Panasonic, Toshiba, Supra, Mystery, etc.);
- customer reviews (can be found on Yandex. Market);
- cost (the cheapest ones start from 5,000 – 6,000 rubles, for this price there will be a small diagonal and few functions, however, even budget models support DVB-T2);
- screen resolution (you can choose a TV with HD-Ready, Full HD or Ultra HD resolution);
- the presence of additional functions such as Wi-Fi, Smart TV, HDR, etc.
Before choosing a TV to receive digital television, you need to check whether it really supports DVB-T2.
There are several ways to check:
- go to the official RTRS website to the “Everything for reception” tab, find the “Search for information about TV” block, select the manufacturer of the TV receiver from the drop-down list, then find your model from the list and look in the “DVB-T2 support” column - if there “Yes” is written, you can safely make a purchase;
- look in the operating instructions for the device;
- ask the sales consultant of the household appliance store whether the selected equipment supports the 2nd terrestrial digital standard.
If you purchase a TV for your dacha to watch satellite encrypted TV channels, you can check its support for the DVB-S2 format:
- in the official documentation for the TV receiver;
- from a sales consultant;
- on the home appliance store website in the characteristics section;
- directly on the consumer TV packaging

Sony KDL26EX321: absolute quality
The Sony KDL-26EX321 TV has an original design without the usual table stand: it is held on the table surface by elegant legs. In this case, the screen turns out to be tilted away from the viewer at an angle of approximately 6`. The thin frame of the case is made in the traditional range of black gloss, and the bottom of the device is trimmed with a metal insert.
Sony KDL-26EX321
The widescreen matrix with HD Ready resolution used in the TV is equipped with an edge LED backlighting system. Thanks to this, the image on the screen looks bright and rich, and of course provides very significant energy savings. The built-in presence sensor allows you to use energy even more efficiently: it turns off the image on the screen when you are not in the room, but leaves sound. When you go back, the picture will instantly appear on the screen.
All video signal processing is handled by the new proprietary X-Reality processor - its modern algorithms allow you to effectively clear the image of noise and interference, even when working with an on-air signal.
The new product from Sony can be a very serious competitor even to a personal computer. It has a built-in WiFi controller that provides access to media files located on a home local or global network. Supports work with the popular DLNA protocol, providing convenient and quick access to the necessary data.
Thanks to the built-in USB port, you can easily connect any external media to the TV, including a hard drive. The built-in media player allows you to watch video clips recorded on external media, listen to MP3 music and enjoy digital slides. But that's not all: now you can record any TV program on an external hard drive or flash drive, so you definitely won't miss a football match or TV series.
If all of the above does not seem enough to you, then you can use the Skype IP telephony service. Just connect a Web camera to your TV and chat with your friends via video conference.
The built-in sound path will delight you with the powerful and high-quality sound of the soundtracks of your favorite films. And to create a surround sound field, the developers used S Force 3D FrontSurround technology, so that full immersion in the action of the film is ensured.
In terms of switching equipment, this model is the undisputed leader of our review. The TV has as many as four HDMI terminals for connecting external devices, which allows you not to limit yourself in anything while on vacation.
Which satellite TV set is better to buy?
Let's consider the main parameters of satellite equipment that you need to pay attention to when choosing. One of the most important is the diameter of the plate, which varies from 0.5 to 3 meters. This characteristic affects the quality of signal reception, stability of operation and permissible distance from the satellite. The optimal indicator for use in city conditions is an antenna diameter of about 70 cm.
The quality of the broadcast image is affected by the acceptable standard accepted by the receiver. Displaying a high-quality television video signal on the screen will require the purchase of appropriate equipment. A digital cable and a receiver with HDTV support will provide clear pictures and excellent sound without interference or distortion.
When choosing a satellite TV set, it is worth considering the type and characteristics of the cable used. Its outer shell must meet all-weather requirements. We should not forget about the parameters and material of manufacture of the central core. Conductors made of copper are characterized by high strength and small diameter, which facilitates the installation and connection process.
The converter serves to amplify the signal and convert the frequency for subsequent transmission via cable with minimal losses. You should choose converter models that are protected from external influences. The presence of a cap and a sealed case will ensure stable operation of the device in any weather and extend its service life.
After installation and commissioning of the satellite TV set, you can view FTA channels for free. These include all digital channels of the first and second multiplex.
