TVs with a diagonal of 49 inches are considered universal, because a screen of this size is enough for comfortable viewing of movies and videos in almost any room. But, besides the diagonal, there are other technical characteristics that you should pay attention to: the presence of a Smart TV, refresh rate and screen resolution.

Analysis of user reviews and expert advice allowed us to compile a rating of reliable and functional devices of 2021 in terms of price/quality ratio.

Each model is distinguished by excellent image quality, good sound and convenient controls.

Rating of the TOP 20 best 49-inch TVs 2020-2021

Design

Appearance of devices
Almost all modern TVs, which include a 49- or 50-inch diagonal screen, look approximately the same. The display takes up most of the front panel, and the frames are usually very thin. These words are also true for the models we have chosen. The difference in the width of the frame is literally one or two millimeters, so it can be ignored.

At least some difference is observed only in the stand. It seems the most attractive on devices produced by Samsung and Philips. Buyers should like both its design and silver color. As for the products of LGI, Sony and Xiaomi, they are placed on the cabinet using two legs, which can be considered the standard option. However, this is not a problem, because many people now hang their TV on the wall. This feature is present in all models. The easiest way to cope with this task is for the owner of a device from Xiaomi, since its weight is only 10.2 kg (including legs). But we will not consider this a special advantage, since this fact indicates the use of not the best components. And Samsung also wins due to the fact that it is the thinnest.

Ambilight

Perhaps the only 50-inch TV that can illuminate the space behind it in the colors of what is happening on the screen.

What to look for when purchasing?

The main parameter when choosing a TV is a bright and detailed image, which is influenced by screen resolution and display manufacturing technology.

Screen resolution

The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture will be and the closer to the screen the viewer can sit without losing image quality.

Large screen TVs have the following resolutions:

• Full HD format , HD quality (1920×1080) – high resolution;
• UHD 4K format , UHD quality (3840 × 2160) - ultra high definition;
• 8K format, 8K quality (7680 × 4320) – a new resolution that allows the production of screens with a diagonal of over 5 meters (arrival in Russia is expected no earlier than 2021).

Display technology

The most common display manufacturing technologies are::

• LCD – liquid crystal displays, which are illuminated by LED LCD backlight;
• OLED – organic light-emitting diodes that do not require LED backlighting, provide the highest natural color, but have a short service life;
• QLED - LEDs based on miniature crystals - Quantum Dot (quantum dot), a new technology that allows significant energy savings and provides excellent image quality.

Smart TV

Checking smart functionality

The devices we are considering cannot be classified as budget segment. In this regard, it is not surprising that they all received Smart TV. Perhaps the corresponding functionality is best implemented by Samsung. You can actively interact with the TV of this company through your smartphone. The device also includes Game Hub technology. This calls up a special menu where you can view the current response time and frame rate, as well as change basic settings. And when playing on a PC, at any time you can switch to the virtual mode of the ultra-wide monitor, increasing the viewing angle, thereby seeing opponents hidden on the side.

LG, of course, also has some gaming features. But there are significantly fewer of them, and they cannot be called unique. As for the other three TVs, they operate Android TV. This turns them into a full-fledged game console themselves - all that remains is to connect a suitable gamepad via Bluetooth. But many buyers note that Smart TV based on the “green robot” has an overly busy interface. Because of this, stuttering may sometimes occur despite using a powerful processor. In this regard, Tizen and WebOS perform better, even if they do not have such a huge number of applications.

Ratings

Samsung: 4.8, LG: 4.7, Philips: 4.5, Sony: 4.5, Xiaomi: 4.5

Samsung UE-50AU9010

Game Hub

The TV provides many purely gaming capabilities - for example, familiarize yourself with response time and frame rate.

Which company should you choose?

When choosing a TV based on the manufacturer, it is better to give preference to devices from trusted brands.

They equip their models with modern features and advanced technologies so that users can enjoy the best viewing experience.

Samsung is considered a recognized world leader in the production of televisions, so experts recommend buying devices from this particular brand. But LG devices are no less high quality.

QLED and OLED – what is it and which is better?

Both technologies are directly related to picture quality. In OLED TVs, each pixel is a separate light source, so such screens reproduce colors more accurately and vividly.

QLED displays are found mainly in Samsung TVs . They use a special nanofilter film based on quantum dots, so the colors are brighter and more saturated.

At the same time, if the key role for the user is not brightness, but response time, it is better to choose an OLED TV.

In addition, they have higher contrast and viewing angles.

Sound

Let's study the power of the acoustics and the number of speakers.
A TV with a screen diagonal of 49 or 50 inches must sound loud. After all, it will be placed in a room with a large area, and not somewhere in the kitchen. Alas, the comparison shows that in this regard, most devices have room for improvement. Neither LGI, nor Samsung, nor Sony, nor two other TVs have any low frequencies. This means that you shouldn't rely on bass. The volume is also barely felt.

Not all buyers will want to connect a soundbar. In the case of Xiaomi, such a thought can only arise if you want to achieve more surround sound. This TV has no problems with volume. The Chinese equipped their creation with only two, but very powerful speakers. As a result, the device can easily sound even a spacious living room.
