Yes, there is no possibility of fine image calibration, but, by and large, few people will need it. The TV fulfills all the basic modern requirements &#8211; voice control, wired and wireless network connections, and the presence of many built-in services, including the RuStore store. Considering the price &#8211; a great option!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/27_techweek.webp\" alt=\"7.

The company has its own approach to improving the performance of QLED, helping to achieve even more saturated colors. True, additional calibration may be required for more accurate color rendition, but with Dolby Vision material you won\u2019t be able to take your eyes off the picture. By the way, the TV can be easily controlled from a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/28_techweek.webp\" alt=\"6.

The new generation of QLED TVs has become even better, especially when it comes to picture quality. Powerful processing with MEMC algorithms makes watching dynamic scenes especially exciting; the only thing that is a little frustrating is the huge number of pre-installed applications with advertising.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29_techweek.webp\" alt=\"5.

The second important difference is that the model is built on the webOS platform from LG, and the proprietary Magic Remote has also migrated here. Otherwise, this is a completely modern TV, which lacks only gaming functionality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/30_techweek.webp\" alt=\"4.

The proprietary OS has long contained all the services relevant, and a large set of HDMI ports will provide a full connection to any set-top boxes. The presence of a USB 3.0 port is also pleasing, as are the wide possibilities for adjusting the image.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/31_techweek.webp\" alt=\"3.

The Sber SDX-65UQ5232T is in no way inferior to its eastern competitors, and in some ways surpasses them. In addition to a good picture, we should note seamless integration into the Sber smart home, good voice control and an updated proprietary OS with expanded functionality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/32_techweek.webp\" alt=\"2.

The S450KE series has long been popular and for good reason. Support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ opens up access to viewing the latest releases in formats with extended dynamic range, and the built-in media player is also very omnivorous.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/33_techweek.webp\" alt=\"1.
