When people look to purchase a TV, multiple factors go into deciding what size they decide on. However, for most users, the size usually depends on what can be accommodated. For a small bedroom, 43-inches is the right size for most, while for the living room, 55 to 65-inches is the sweet spot for most users. But sometimes a 55-inch TV could be too big. Or a 43-inch TV could be too small. To accommodate the need for a screen size between 43 and 55-inches we have some TV manufacturers offering 50-inch TVs – or TVs that are available in 48-inch panel sizes, as there are only specific models that come in the 50-inch screen size. So, if you are looking for the best 50-inch TV, then you’ve come to the right place. Today we will list for you the best 50-inch TV that money can buy. Some of these TVs are technically 48 or 49-inches, but we think it’s ok to qualify them under the 50-inch domain as they serve the same gap in the market that 50-inch TVs are manufactured to do. All these Tvs have a 4K resolution so they are the best 50-inch 4K TVs. Do note that we haven’t tested all these TVs or may have tested a different screen size. So some of the TVs are on this list based on our experience, and others are here based on the specifications and features they bring to the table. Here is a look at the list of top 50-inch TVs.
The LG C1 is a successor to the 48-inch CX and comes with a 48-inch panel. While that’sb technically smaller than 50-inches, it is still good enough to make it to this list.
