It’s a great time to be a consumer of smart TVs, if in the past we had to empty a cash register to get advanced viewing quality, today the market is starting to adjust itself more, with a wider variety of qualities and prices. An example of this can be found at Peerless – which offers smart TVs with a QLED screen in a variety of sizes. We reviewed the 50-inch model, QLED 4K in frameless design, and enjoyed a comfortable user experience and very good viewing quality, especially in this price range.
The first thing to notice about the Peerless TV is the quality of the screen, which is based on a QLED panel, which gives better contrast and sharper colors than the old LCD TVs. It should be noted that watching content that is of a lower resolution, such as HD, the viewing quality drops a bit. However, when watching content adapted to the current generation, in FHD quality and above, the screen itself presents a great picture with vivid and sharp colors.
Another advantage Pirles models have is the LG webOS WEE2.0 operating system – which simplifies the experience of using the TV, with an app store that puts all the entertainment content under one roof – Netflix, YouTube, Cellcom TV, Amazon Prime (Prime Video) and more.
In addition, the models come with ThinQ AI technology that allows customization of the quick menu and has a Hebrew interface that also supports voice search. In addition, with the help of the Launcher, the smart bar, you can navigate between the channels and content easily, while continuing to watch the content that is broadcast on TV.
The television, of course, has a built-in WiFi network connection – for easy connection to the home network without an adapter. The entire connection is intuitive and easily performed, with easy-to-understand instructions that can be understood immediately when turning on the TV for the first time. The connection to the home network also makes it possible to mirror and share content from the mobile phone or tablet to the TV easily and simply. All this in a convenient and friendly user menu in a variety of languages including full Hebrew.
Not only the television itself is advancing, the means of controlling it have also progressed greatly – be it through a smart device or the remote control. The MAGIC AIR remote control supports IR, BLUETOOTH, and voice commands (15 languages). It comes with quick buttons for the leading streaming channels, and a mouse sensor for more convenient use in front of the TV. Of course, as mentioned, you can also connect using your smartphone – when the TV is compatible with Android and iPhone IOS based devices.
Since today’s televisions are actually also computers, it is important to look at the features and hardware, and it certainly lives up to expectations. The AI ThinQ artificial intelligence system enables full voice control, alongside a smart dashboard through which you can quickly and easily control all devices connected to the TV, as well as IoT-supporting home appliances. Both of these greatly simplify TV operations. In addition, it is equipped with a 4-core processor and comes with 8GB of memory, so everything works smoothly. There are of course USB ports and HDMI connections, in addition to a built-in tuner for receiving Idan Plus channels.
The gamers among you will benefit from the Game Optimizer built into the TV. This will allow you to easily select and switch between game-specific features and view presets directly from the menu. You can also change the image settings. The feature is designed to automatically identify and classify games by genre, for example first-person shooters, strategy or role-playing games, and adjust the contrast, brightness and shadow and background details accordingly. The weight of the television is only 9.75 kg, so it is very easy to transport and the fact that it is thin and without a frame helps it to fit easily in any corner of the house.
Recommended price for the consumer is NIS 2,299
