Important! Over the years of its work, the Russian manufacturer LG has made a significant contribution to the development of scientific and technological progress and the Russian economy.
LG TVs in Russia
Where are LG TVs assembled? LG Electronics is one of the world leaders in the development and production of consumer electronics. The advanced plant is located in the Moscow region.
Important! Since 1958, LG has led the scientific and technological progress of South Korea. This company was the first to produce radio, refrigeration unit, TV device and air conditioner in its country. In keeping with the needs of the modern market, the innovative company constantly brings the latest technologies to its branches.
Scale of production
From the moment the “first stone” was laid to the present day, the advanced plant located in the Ruzsky district of the Moscow region has been characterized by a stable growth of high-tech capacities. Every year there is an increase in the volumetric indicator of the company's production with an ever-increasing consumer demand for manufactured products. Thus, the company has already produced its 15 millionth LCD TV device. In addition, at the moment the production of washing units and refrigeration equipment has crossed the million mark.
Important! In recent years, LG in the Russian market has been the first brand in the washing units category for four years in a row and the leader in the refrigeration segment for two years. In addition, the manufacturer LG is constantly increasing its share in the LCD TV segment in the Russian market.
Innovation and technology
LG is the first brand in the 3D TV segment and occupies a leading position in the ULTRA HD category. The presence of such natural success is explained by the presence of the company’s long-term strategic activities aimed at constantly increasing the localization of components and devices. Such a system helps optimize the cost of manufactured products while maintaining high quality that meets international standards.
Important! On the territory of the Moscow Region enterprise, along with the assembly shops of LG Electronics, there are production complexes of nine partner companies. They contribute to the production of all kinds of parts for the main assembly process from the production of printed circuit boards for television devices using the latest technologies to the casting process of household equipment housings, as well as the production of packaging containers for appliances. It is at the enterprise near Moscow that LG TVs are assembled.
Technological equipment
A specially designed robot performs the operation of screwing the PCB device to the panel of the TV device. Previously, this procedure was performed manually, but more recently such a unit has made it possible to simplify this process. The matrices are delivered to the enterprise already placed inside the panel with protective glass present. In fact, this is a blank to which electronics are attached and the process of packaging into a housing is carried out. The testing process takes place on a constantly moving conveyor belt.
Important! The LG Electronics enterprise is characterized by the production of a wide range of advanced television devices and household equipment, which are focused on creating a more comfortable, environmentally friendly standard of living for the Russian consumer.
LG has built a full-fledged enterprise in Russia, where the atmosphere is very clean and tidy, the conveyor works quickly, and the operations performed are divided into smaller ones. All actions are characterized by thoughtfulness, in which the third part of the pipeline is testing.
Video material
Now you know everything about where LG TVs are assembled and how exactly this happens. We hope that thanks to the information received, you were able to decide whether this technique is suitable for you or not.
There is a TV in almost every apartment, in every private house, in many restaurants... Even if you don’t watch it, you most likely have a TV receiver. That's why TV manufacturers are doing pretty well. In the days of CRT models, every major country had at least one factory that assembled TV devices. Now the situation has changed. It's time for big brands to take over small brands. Let's find out which TV manufacturers are currently on the market, which ones are better and in which countries they are made. How do they differ from each other? Who should you trust and whose devices should you avoid?
The best TV manufacturers are rating leaders
If previously all TV manufacturers were doing equally well, now South Korean brands can boast of the greatest success. In particular, Samsung Electronics sells millions of its devices annually, the country of TV production is South Korea.
In the assortment of this company you can find a wide variety of TV devices - from the simplest to large and curved, equipped with a higher scan frequency. In the case of Smart TV, it uses its own Tizen operating system, which can also be found in smart watches, Z-series smartphones and even refrigerators.
Samsung TVs
The most expensive ones are equipped with a screen created using QLED technology. That is, the matrix consists of so-called quantum dots. Roughly speaking, this is an analogue of OLED technology, where each pixel lights up independently, which leads to incredibly high contrast and very rich colors. These TVs also have 4K resolution and HDR support.
LG TVs
Another South Korean manufacturer of television equipment is LG Electronics. His products are also actively sold all over the world. The range can be called very wide. TV receivers have different diagonals, different resolutions, and the set of connectors can be completely different. At the same time, they most often have a lower markup for the brand, and therefore their cost is more optimal.
Top models are equipped with a matrix made using OLED technology. Such devices can please you with ideal color rendition. However, one cannot fail to note the minimal number of such devices - unfortunately, LG Display currently has only one or two factories at its disposal that can create OLED panels.
Sometimes South Koreans have to order matrices from Japanese competitors - this also happens. You can also note the fact that LG’s function is based on WebOS - a special operating system that is intelligently adapted for very large screens.
Sony
Photo: Sony W75C Any analyst will confirm that the TV market is going through hard times. If a new smartphone is bought every two to three years, then television equipment can last a whole decade. Because of this, the vast majority of manufacturers of such devices do not make a large markup, trying to attract the buyer at least with a low cost. The exception to the rule is Sony, in the country of Japan.
The Japanese make expensive equipment. And, oddly enough, they buy it, albeit on a fairly small scale.
Most often, Sony TV devices have a stylish appearance and a high-quality matrix. OLED models are few in number; the Japanese company mainly relies on traditional LED TVs. But the screens of the vast majority of Sony products have 4K resolution.
Some models can boast of high-quality sound - their buyers do not even think about purchasing any acoustics. There are also Japanese TVs with HDR support and a higher refresh rate, which are ideal when paired with the PlayStation 4 Pro game console. As for Smart TV, this feature can be based on Android or even Linux.
Philips TVs are still in decent demand. At one time, it was the Dutch company that was the first to introduce Ambilight backlighting. This is when different colors appear on the wall behind the screen to match what is happening on the screen. This feature makes you forget about the frames around the screen, visually expanding the picture.
If you buy Philips devices, then only with support for this technology! In this case, you should not be worried by the fact that the Dutch have not had anything to do with televisions under their brand for quite some time. Now they are produced by the Chinese company TP Vision, which bought both the factories and part of the patents.
You should be prepared for the fact that the purchased “Dutch” TV will have not only advantages, but also disadvantages. For example, a remote control with a radio transmitter can certainly be considered a plus, since it will not force the user to “aim.” But a Smart TV based on Android that works with slowdowns is already a significant drawback. And TP Vision now cannot boast of a wide range of products. The Chinese manufacturer is not yet thinking about OLED at all, although this technology is the future of the market.
Minor brands
In stores selling LCD TVs, you can easily find devices under many other brands. Each of these companies has less than 3% of the market. However, this does not mean that they should not be mentioned at all. Some of them were once very popular. Suffice it to remember Panasonic - many of us used to have TVs under this brand. But the transition from picture tubes to LCD displays was difficult for the Japanese.
For a long time, the company produced screens in its homeland. This is what led to the high cost of such devices. Now Panasonic TVs are becoming increasingly difficult to find in large retail chains. In terms of their price tag, they are inferior to many competitors, and therefore buyers do not want to look towards Japanese products.
But it has a number of advantages. Firstly, engineers work in tandem with specialists from Hollywood, thanks to which the HDR picture turns out perfect. Secondly, premium models get a colorful and energy-efficient OLED screen with 4K resolution. Thirdly, the Japanese are not abandoning the production of televisions with a 3D screen - the image is displayed using shutter technology. The Smart TV feature is most often based on Firefox OS, an operating system that has never found a place in the smartphone market.
Sharp and Toshiba TVs
Surely many of our readers are familiar with the Japanese companies Sharp and Toshiba. At one time, they shared a fairly significant share of the global TV market and were considered one of the best manufacturers. It was easiest for them to achieve a low price tag, because these companies did not have to order LCD matrices from outside.
Not much has changed now. The Japanese still produce screens themselves. But mostly they supply them to other companies - they build them into their TVs, smartphones, tablets and other devices. It turns out that this brings more profit than assembling and selling your own television equipment.
However, the Japanese are not giving up on this matter - on store shelves you can still find very good devices with different dimensions, costs and functionality. Basically, these are all representatives of the budget segment - when the price tag does not exceed 40 thousand rubles. Interestingly, even such inexpensive devices can have a 4K screen. Two Japanese companies are not even thinking about OLED - this technology is too expensive for them.
BBK
There are several very large companies producing audio and video equipment in China. One of them is BBK Electronics. For a long time, this brand was familiar to Russians for its budget DVD players. With the advent of the era of LCD TVs, the company decided to try its hand at a new market.
Its devices continued to emphasize low cost. This means that they most often have a low-resolution screen (maximum - Full HD), simple speakers and a minimal set of connectors. Many models come without Smart TV, which significantly limits the potential of the TV.
DEXP and Supra
On the shelves of Russian stores you can easily find devices under domestic brands. At the same time, many people would never call the DEXP and Supra trademarks Russian - they seem exclusively foreign to them. In fact, the DEXP brand belongs to the DNS trading network. Under it, gadgets assembled in China by all sorts of OEM manufacturers are distributed.
DNS also has a large assortment of LCD TVs that differ from each other in workmanship, functionality, size and cost. As for Supra, Japanese technology used to be distributed under this brand. But now this trademark is the result of Chinese-Russian cooperation. TVs with the Supra badge emphasize a very low price tag. The most popular models are those with a small diagonal - they are usually purchased for installation in a car.
AKAI
The Japanese company AKAI existed until 2004. After bankruptcy, the trademark did not disappear anywhere - the rights to it were bought by the Grande Group of Hong Kong. Now this brand is provided to various Chinese companies. This is why stores still sell AKAI LCD TVs. Basically, they have a low price tag, and they use the Android operating system as a Smart TV. Screen resolution is not always low - there are models with a 4K screen.
TCL Corporation was founded in 1981. For some time, the Chinese produced only audio cassettes. Later, the company switched to producing household appliances and telephones intended for the Chinese market. TCL currently owns the Thomson and Alcatel brands.
However, the company's televisions are increasingly being produced under its own brand. Often these are top-end models, equipped with everything you need. Unfortunately, such LCD TVs are supplied to Russia in minimal quantities - for now the company is focusing primarily on its native market.
If you start choosing a TV, you will come across other brands. For example, in our country Erisson, FUSION, HAIER, Harper, ORION and other brands of this kind are very popular - it would take a very long time to list them. MYSTERY products should be highlighted separately - they usually include compact LCD TVs designed for installation in a child's room or car.
Devices under the Telefunken brand are also becoming increasingly popular. Some people know that this is the name of a German company. But in fact, back in 2006, the rights to produce televisions under this brand were sold to the Turkish holding Profilio-Telra.
Xiaomi
For some time now, Xiaomi has been trying to penetrate the TV market. This company produces a wide variety of electronics, why not focus on TV receivers? According to a good tradition, devices under this brand have impressive characteristics, while being distributed at a low price.
However, for now they are only sold in China. Russians can only acquire them by using the appropriate online store and paying for the delivery of large goods.
Forgotten Legends
Unfortunately, not all companies were able to successfully survive the passing of the era of CRT televisions. Someone refocused on producing liquid crystal models, but at the same time lost most of their popularity. Others disappeared completely, unable to even sell their brand. For example, products under the Rubin brand are becoming less and less common on the shelves.
But these are one of the few televisions assembled in Russia. Devices called HORIZONT are sold in slightly larger quantities. As you might have guessed, these are the famous “Horizons” of the past, produced by a Belarusian enterprise. Interestingly, some devices have a 4K display, as well as a Smart TV function on Android.
Hitachi can also be considered a half-forgotten legend. This Japanese company now produces a wide variety of products - from screwdrivers to excavators. However, she is practically not interested in LCD TVs. In 2012, the company decided to leave this market, selling the rights to produce television equipment under its brand. The new owners are more successful - it’s not without reason that the range of Hitachi TVs is constantly expanding.
Finally, we can remember about JVC. Many Russians at one time had a VCR made by this company. And someone was lucky enough to use a video camera. Unfortunately, JVC did not survive the onset of the digital era - the company almost went bankrupt, and management had to sell it to Kenwood.
However, the brand has not disappeared - the new owner uses it to produce and sell televisions, while automotive electronics continue to be distributed under the Kenwood brand.
Summarizing
The LCD TV market is going through hard times. Sales are declining, and intense competition is forcing many companies to either close down or start producing something else. Now you know which TV manufacturers best meet the requirements of the times. But it is possible that the rating we published will become a little shorter in the coming years.
Tell us in the comments what TV receiver is used in your family, which TV manufacturers do you consider the best? And which brand would you focus on when buying a new device?

Information about the TOP 5 TVs will certainly help potential buyers decide on the choice of device that suits their preferences. The presented models attract with reasonable prices, a good set of functions, sizes, and workmanship.
In this guide, we look at the largest and most famous TV manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Philips, Panasonic and Sony, along with brands such as Toshiba, and Sharp.
We'll also rate premium players Loewe and Bang & Olufsen and value products.
Samsung: is it worth buying?
Being the largest and most popular television brand in Russia and, perhaps, in the world, Samsung offers a wide range of LED LCD TVs with screens ranging from 19 inches to 105 inches (267 centimeters diagonally). Although Samsung has released several TVs with plasma screen technology, the manufacturer has announced that production of these products will soon be completed.
Along with HD TVs, Samsung also produces 4K or Ultra-HD models. The company has advanced technologies in the field of Smart TV and has one of the most powerful and easy-to-use platforms.
Samsung TVs performed well in our laboratory conditions; many models received the mark recommended by Technocontrol, including inexpensive models costing up to 30,000 rubles. Samsung often offers excellent picture quality and a wide range of different features, not all of which work flawlessly every time.
Panasonic: Until 2013, Panasonic was criticized for failures in design and quality of its products, but since then the Japanese manufacturer has shown positive dynamics of change.
While Panasonic's Smart TV functionality isn't one of the best TV brands out there right now, it's getting better. We believe Panasonic has the potential to create outstanding TVs, but the challenges and risks along the way cannot be underestimated.
Premium TV brands
If you're looking for stylish design, unusual functionality or just want to show off to your friends, then premium TV brands such as Bang & Olufsen and Loewe may be for you. However, keep in mind that these TVs are very expensive, and their quality does not always match their high price.
Bang & Olufsen: Bang & Olufsen (B&O) has a reputation for attractive and stylish designs using premium materials. Its flagship BeoVision TVs looks amazing, but can cost upwards of RUB 600,000. B&O also offers mid-range BeoPlay models and a Smart TV that can be hung from the ceiling and connect to Apple TV. Although such models are cheaper than BeoVision, 120,000 rubles for the 32-inch version is not the price limit.
Loewe: Crafted in their distinctive Danish style, Loewe TVs boast premium sound quality and premium features such as a built-in video player. Hence the price for the 32-inch model, which can exceed 80,000 rubles.
Cheap TVs
In addition to large well-known brands, a large share of sales comes from cheap TVs from lesser-known manufacturers and even products from electronics stores themselves. What all of these TVs have in common is their low price, but once in the hands of our experts, they usually turn out to be of insufficient quality upon closer inspection.
Sincerely,
