But first, a little about the brand.
Who are Carrera
Under the Carrera brand it produces products for household appliances.
Carrera is engaged in the production of household appliances and consumer electronics. TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, audio equipment, etc.
According to the brand, the company was founded in 1956. In Europe, Carrer has been written about at least since 2015.
The company’s DNA lies in motorsport culture, which is reflected in the name and the brand’s goal of making reliable devices with attention to detail, while being sufficient brutal design.
✅ Carrera – the category is M.Video Only. The equipment is presented only in stores and online sales channels M.Video and Eldorado.
So another equipment manufacturer has appeared in Russia. Let’s now look at the TV itself.

Design trick in minimalism
The modern appearance of the TV immediately catches your eye.
It has a thin body and narrow bezels (except for the bottom, for a reason). Color road graytherefore, it will visually adapt to different kitchens.
Looking at the TV from the side, it is difficult to see anything other than the screen. You get this “floating picture” effect, especially if the TV is on a dark cabinet that flows down from the stand.
The delivery itself consists of two stable legs. They are not wide, they can be placed on a narrow platform. The backrest is VESA rated if the Carrera #650 needs to be hung.
Visually there is nothing to complain about here. Looks relevant, but further distance 65 inches and inconspicuous fields, also futuristic.

The main thing: about the screen
The characteristics of the matrix grow in the upper segment.
I enlarge the screen 165 cm With the development of 4K Ultra HD (3840×2160 pixels), made using QLED technology with a Direct LED panel, a color palette of 1 billion colors is ensured, like any other top-end TV.
☝️HDR support with an extended range of dark and light helps to convey the image, the transition of shadows and bright skies.
The mode provides pleasant contrast, revealing a palette of shades and colors even in daylight.
Fans of beautiful movies and new games will appreciate it.
At the TV wide viewing angle approximately 170°this is enough to view from anywhere in the room. Here it is only important to take into account that, as in many QLED matrices, at extreme angles the brightness decreases slightly.

Connections and sound
Speakers with a total power of 14 W create spacious and clear sound. Thanks to this standard of support Carrera No. 650 Dolby Atmoswhich is often used in films and music.
The TV can be used as a standalone media center. But if the volume or saturation is still not enough, you can “hook up” a home theater to it via HDMI ARC connectors or an optical output.
The rear panel has a standard set of ports:
• 3 HDMI ports for game consoles, media players and other devices
• 2 USB ports for flash drives or separate hard drives
• Ethernet for network connection
• Supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connection.
So the TV is suitable for a party, watching a movie with family or friends, playing games, broadcasting workouts from a computer and recording videos via streaming.
Let’s take a closer look at the last building.

Convenient, fast operating system
There are the necessary applications for streaming movies and TV series
SmartTV functions on the TV operate based on webOS from LGa modified Nona from the Carrera manufacturer.
Although this is not Android, it has all the current applications, including Kinopoisk, Okko, Ivie, Yandex Music and others.
Since this is Linux, if necessary, you can download the necessary programs (and install) from the application store.
To control the system, the kit includes a Magic Remote.
The remote control includes a quick scroll wheel, programmable buttons and mode indicators.
It is not quite ordinary because, with the exception of the buttons, there are three outputs to the input.
🔹 Voice commands Help in finding movies and launching settings in English
🔹 Pointer mode Allows you to quickly select interface elements and easily move the remote control in space.
🔹 Interactive wheel in the center is suitable for scrolling lists or texts.
TV and food Internet of Thingsso that you can control your smart home.
As I said earlier, embedded Linux also allows you to freely play media from USB drives and connect the device over a local network.

Summary, pros and cons, price
Laconic, frameless, suitable for any interior.
The Carrera No. 650 TV confidently copes with home multimedia.
🧐 As a result we get one strong point:
• Modern frameless design
• High-quality HDR image thanks to QLED and 4K
• Convenient webOS operating system based on open Linux.
• Dynamics with Dolby Atmos surround sound
• Convenient remote pointer with scroll wheel MAGIC REMOTE
The models can be confidently taken a closer look at me, who likes to set up watching movies with family or friends, and hold the console slot machine.
One of the disadvantages here is a less familiar software platform than Android TV with a narrower selection of applications in the store. As a result, you will need to manually adjust the image immediately after purchase if the original color rendition does not suit you.
Otherwise Carrera #650 turned out to be a competitive observation for your money. Let me remind you that the TV is sold only in M.Video and Eldorado.
Looks like impressiveshows Beautiful. There is no need for anything else.
