50-inch TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 48”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung OLED 48 S90D or S94D is the smallest model in this series and we had the opportunity to check out what it can do. At first glance, it’s clear that it handles details in dark scenes excellently, as expected from an OLED. It’s worth mentioning that the 48-inch version differs from the larger models. The brightness is slightly lower, and the panel has a satin finish instead of a glossy one. D...

Verdict:

Samsung offers two top models with a 4K resolution when it comes to MiniLED technology.

Thanks to this technology, the TV offers excellent contrast and high brightness, making movie watching an experience reminisce...

Verdict:

The Panasonic W70A draws attention primarily because of its advanced Google TV operating system, which gives us access to a multitude of popular applications (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.).
