50-inch TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame LS03D (2024) is not an ordinary television that you can place in the corner and forget after two days. Here, it is immediately evident that the manufacturer has focused on something more than just playing films. First, the “Art” mode captures attention – with just a few clicks, we can turn The Frame into a digital gallery, displaying works that, in combination with the matte scre...

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 see what it can do. At first glance, it's evident that it deals excellently with details in dark scenes, as is expected from an OLED. However, it is worth mentioning that the 48-inch version differs from the larger models. Brightness is slightly lower, and the panel has a satin finish instead of glossy...

Technology: LCD VA (wide viewing angle), Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung offers two top models with 4K resolution when it comes to MiniLED technology. In this test, we took a closer look at the perhaps not so "high-end" QN95D, but rather the QN90D, which can also be found under the name QN92D. Samsung proudly calls its MiniLED televisions the NeoQLED series. It is precisely because of this technology that the television offers excellent contrast and high bright...

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS8959, also known by other designations under the abbreviation PUS89 (depending on the sales network), is a model from the popular series The One. Its biggest distinguishing feature is the Ambilight system, which continues to make a great impression. The three-sided lighting adapts to the picture on the screen, making films, series, or games literally spill over the edges of the televisi...

Available screen sizes: 50”

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS8359 in the size of 50" is a fairly simple television, yet sufficiently advanced for a considerable number of consumers. Its most distinguishing feature (as is the case with the entire brand) is the Ambilight backlighting, which at this price point is definitely an added value and something that may encourage a purchase. In this price range, it is futile to search for something that pro...

Technology: LCD VA, White LED

Brand: PHILIPS

Verdict:

Philips PUS8079 is currently the cheapest model from the manufacturer, featuring multicolour Ambilight backlighting, which has a significant fan base. Operating with a small budget for the device, this will certainly be an advantage and a considerable added value. However, by opting for such a budget, we must also reckon with certain compromises that will be inherent in all televisions of this cla...

Verdict:

Philips PUS7009 with a VA panel is a television that is best suited for casual users who primarily use it for watching TV, browsing photos, or using basic applications. Thanks to the VA panel, it offers significantly better contrast and deeper blacks than the IPS version, making it a better choice for watching films in darker rooms. Features such as ALLM, VRR, and Game Bar provide satisfactory com...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: PANASONIC

Verdict:

The Panasonic W70A draws attention primarily due to its advanced Google TV operating system, which gives access to a plethora of popular applications (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.). As for the picture, the IPS panel offers wide viewing angles, so colours do not lose intensity even when watching a film from a slight angle. Gamers will also not be disappointed, as it features VRR and ALL...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 75”, 86”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG UT8100 is a model that does not try to pretend to be more than it is. Simple, functional, and performs well for everyday use. Its greatest asset is the WebOS system – intuitive, fast, and rich in applications. With such a background, using Netflix or YouTube is hassle-free, and navigating the menu is a matter of moments. The Magic Remote adds even more convenience, as it works somewhat like a m...
