DESIGN FEATURES
Of the features of this model, we note the low, according to the manufacturer, matrix response time, which is only 8 ms, and the high contrast ratio of 1400:1. Model consumes 240W in operation mode, less than 3W in standby mode.
Also note that unlike many other models with the same diagonal on the market, this model is not equipped with LED-backlit, but with conventional backlighting on cold cathodes, which allowed the manufacturer to reduce the price of the unit compared to counterparts.
This model can be recommended to people who want to have a big TV for relatively small money and not chasing after the minimum thickness of the case. And regarding the widespread belief that LED backlighting is better than conventional, we should probably remember once again that nothing is simple and unambiguous.
And LED backlighting also has its drawbacks, for example, when using edge LED backlighting, lighting can be uneven over the screen area.
