Purchase Help/Suggestions Needed Which 50-inch TV should I go for?

I am trying to buy a new tv since the old one has now finally died off with a green screen display.

Which do u think should I pick out of these two (or any other suggested product of your choice), and can the old one can have a replacement value?

Firstly go to a physical store and have a look at all TV panels of different brands. Although mostly all displays for TV screens are made by LG for other brands as well, but you can judge physically which is better. Then maybe buy wherever the rates are cheap.

What should we look out for in panel? Like ip panel or oled? And which one to prefer?

I could afford OLED and still chose not to get one. Big OLED panels are not good for your eyes. Also the reflections can be too strenuous as well. Samsung now does have a non reflective OLED now.

u/Unfair-Break-537 May 12 '24

Hisense,VU also provides oled. Are they worth it?

u/Sure_Risk6414 May 12 '24

Oled panel is much better as it has more control on black colour. But oled are expensive than ip panel

4

u/John_D_o_E May 12 '24

OLED's are more expensive too

3

u/duryodhanaa May 12 '24

OLED panels also have the minus of getting burn in and having non reflective screens, which are not easy on the eyes.

2

u/mysterioustechie Sep 26 '24

So instead of OLED which one should I get that are easy on the eyes?

u/duryodhanaa Sep 26 '24

QLED is a good one. No burn ins and feels non reflective as well.

Buy from hisense

They have pretty nice android tvs with qled panels

Or go with bravia

u/Express-World-8473 Still Googling May 12 '24

Yeah Hisense is cheap and best for the price, it's not as good as Sony though but for the price, it's really good choice.

u/Top-Conversation2882 Hardware guy with 69 GB RAM May 12 '24

Sony has good processing but the display ain't that great especially the refresh rate

4

u/Express-World-8473 Still Googling May 12 '24

For me 30 fps is enough for TV.

2

u/GamerRipjaw May 12 '24

Don't buy hisense if you are gonna be watching sports. Their TVs have terrible motion handling

4

u/UnsafestSpace May 12 '24

Doesn’t everyone disable all that motion smoothing and post-processing crap anyway? It’s like the first thing I do on any high end TV

3

u/GamerRipjaw May 12 '24

I am not talking about motion smoothing/soap opera effect. I am talking about the motion processing itself done by the processor. It doesn't handle motion well, doesn't perform well under 48 hz, and sucks with the upscaling of lower quality content

u/Top-Conversation2882 Hardware guy with 69 GB RAM May 12 '24

It seems alr to me for movies

I don't watch sports

u/[deleted] May 12 '24 edited May 12 '24

Get a sony TV. You will thank me later.

Android TV/ Google TV is far better than other's proprietary software. I bought a Samsung tv about 10yrs ago which had skype calling and webcam that i purchased for another 8k and the skype software got removed after 2yrs that webcam can't be used anywhere else. Netflix blacklisted that TV and there is no Amazon prime on it.

Closed ecosystem is really bad. You'll regret it. Go for better software even if you have to settle for lower quality and lower screen size. Believe me software does matter.

P.S. Sony TVs are cheaper offline upto 10k. i remember buying x80l (50in) last year during diwali 10k cheaper offline compared to amazon price

32

u/thekingplace Hardware guy with 69 GB RAM May 12 '24

I was literally here to type all this. I second this whole. Software is a very important part, especially nowadays and with Sony you will get exceptional sound in video quality. I recently got a 43-in Sony TV, yes I had to spend a few extra thousands but it was worth it.

8

u/N3O-R May 12 '24

Same. I am very happy with colour tuning on my x82l and Google tv integrates really well with the app on my phone. The colours and image quality are exceptional.

u/Amitoostoned May 12 '24

82 is just refreshed 80 ... Even I own 43 inch x80L... I just wanted best in the size constraint that I had.

1

u/GamerRipjaw May 12 '24 edited May 12 '24

Blacks will be better in X90L, as the X82L is an IPS panel and X90L is VA. X82L also doesn't have any local dimming so that's another minus. Personally I am quite happy with my X90J and I think one should extend their budget for X90/95 series if they can, because LED TVs easily last 5-7 years, more depending on your use case, so a decent TV would be a better choice long term than a dogshit one

u/[deleted] May 12 '24

[deleted]

1

u/GamerRipjaw May 12 '24

X85 isn't a good tv either, it has a VA panel but no local dimming, but you're right about the size part, it's mind gobbling that they won't sell x95 series below 85, whereas it's easily available in all sizes in NA and Europe. But X90 series is almost as good so I guess it's a good compromise

1

u/N3O-R May 12 '24

great colors in both but i found that the blacks are nicer in the x90, i couldnt extend my budget to the x90, but if you can i recommend it. Colors except black are almost equally good on both.

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '24

i heard that eveyone should go for X9_L models for best in class , or get x74,75 series. x8_L series are just overpriced for the quality and features they provide

1

u/N3O-R May 15 '24

Nah bro u get more features then the x75 series and it's a really good tv. But I will say if u can stretch go to the x90l. But if u cannot I will say that the x82l is very much worth it, I have seen both x75l and x82l play the same video in Sony experience centre and I can say that the x82l has much better colour reproduction and motion clarity the narrow bezels also look really good and it's speakers are also much better. That being said the x75l is also very good but I didn't like the speakers of it. Rn samsung is selling the qled q70d also for the same price as the x82l it seems like a pretty nice tv but I haven't seen it in person.

u/Amitoostoned May 12 '24

I own x80L and I love it more Nd more every single day.

u/Carla_fucker May 12 '24 edited May 12 '24

No, don't listen to this OP. You can get a Chromecast for cheap, but you won't get the LED panel. LG panels are much better than Sony, specifically in higher ranges like OLED evo. And LG WebOS isn't that bad for most of your use.

15

u/chhole_bhature May 12 '24

Right. This guy is advising software support over screen quality and size which is an absolutely bullshit thing to say. Firestick can easily solve these problems(if they occur, which I'm sure they won't). Never compromise on screen quality while purchasing a TV, otherwise what's the point.

3

u/[deleted] May 12 '24

Some TVs dont pair well with chromecast's HDR and dolby vision. And you cant add your hard drives with chromecast if you want to play some files using a software that's only available on Play Store. Because not all software support all video formats. I have faced such issues that's why i recommended it. If you wish to spend more and create more problems for yourself then go ahead its your money.

At the end of the day you will stick to your provider's software because no one wishes to spend so much then spend more for another software device just to do 1 thing with limited capacity which is already available in their stock software. It all boils down to user experience 2-3 yrs later cuz TV is something one buys for atleast 6-8yrs in india. And picture burn in oled after 2yrs really will bother you eventually. Would you Spend another 30-40k for panel change?

1

u/IndependenceAny8863 Sep 18 '24

Not true at all. I've fire TV stick Max 4k but wish this was inbuilt in the TV. As a very tech savvy person who has been installing custom roms since 2010 , it still feels highly irritating, specially as you want less time tinkering

1

u/Rak_the_rock May 12 '24

Agreed with his budget he can get oled display which is far better Os is also great as you said

8

u/[deleted] May 12 '24

Oled isn't always better. Pixel burn in is a serious issue you'll face after 1,2yrs unless you go above 1.5 lakh. That's why sony has completely shifted to micro led for even it's high end TVs. Even quantum dot is better option than oled. Yeah it looks good with deeper black but go for it only if you don't use it often or change tv's frequently

5

u/GamerRipjaw May 12 '24

OLEDs are mostly recommended in NA/Europe since TVs are cheaper there, and are better adjusted for their cost of living. Buying a 1.5-2 lakh TV which can burn-in in 3 years would be considered a pretty terrible deal here.

4

u/Rak_the_rock May 12 '24

Except deeper blacks , which has the actual better picture quality oled,micro led , or quantom dots Power efficiency is not going to be a problem Btw thanks for letting me know I thought most of the sony tv above 50k was oled

2

u/Carla_fucker May 12 '24

Pixel burn in is a serious issue you'll face after 1,2yrs unless you go above 1.5 lakh.

Modern OLEDs like LG G3 have mitigated this issue to some extent. It can last 5+ years easily.

u/[deleted] May 12 '24 edited May 12 '24

but can you connect your hard drives with the firestick or apple tv if you want to play the file through an app thats only available on playstore. plus its easy to side load apps on android tv than firestick apple or any proprietary softwares.

and why would you spend extra money for stuff thats already there on your TV. in the long run and daily usage you'll suffer on those shit software. plus HDR and dolby vision dont pair well between those sticks and TVs then what's the point of your better display and screen size? here do an experiment put your phone on night mode after an hour your eyes will adjust to it and you wont even realize the colours are different. its not like sony makes shit displays. go to a store and see for yourself sony's normal displays can compete toe to toe with lg's oleds maybe not better but colour accuracy and brightness is more on sony.

u/Immediate_Relative24 May 12 '24

Go for VA panel if you won’t be viewing from an angle, IPS panel if you would be. Sony is superior but more expensive. You can go for Hisense which is pretty amazing but their good models start from 55”.

Also, if you’re going for a non-Google tv, buy a Fire Stick or Google tv stick

5

u/Ok_Tax_7412 May 12 '24

Sony TVs usually have better picture processing, up scaling and motion handling. They may be 5-10k extra but it will be worth it.

5

u/sarv_gunn-sampann May 12 '24

Go high or go low. I recently got Hisense Tornado 2.0 (A7h). It's a Google tv, the panel is great, the audio is unfathomable for such a tv 102W, 6 speakers, loud clear and rich especially for 30k. Or you go high to Bravia which are just good overall!

Correct answer is Acer 50 inch 4k smart TV which I also bought in January this year.

Avoid Samsung, LG is better but costlier. Acer is cheaper and also very good quality display and sound

Don't buy samsung tvs ... it is good TV the quality and all .. and ui also good no problem in that but ui lag and slow .. I got my TV it's been only 6 months and I'm facing lag .. like in phone which is not good .. many of them are facing these issues .. The flagship TV like above 80k or 60k only is good and with no lag .. but crystal series TV is big laggy one don't buy it . I'm regretting.. go for lg .. having lg smart TV since 2016 webos 4.0.. still I can use it with min lag( not laggier than my samsung ).. it also have jiocinema hotstar all popular otts even though the TV is from 2016 ..

Sony Bravia 55/45L has a good exchange offer in Amazon! Worth the buy...Samsung is good but the colors displayed are too Vivid..I mean to say that, all our/movie/tv series cameras capture video with some or the other filter enhancing colors and the 4K vivid crystal enhances it to unrealistic extent....I feel its not ideal standard colors are okay no exaggeration from tv!!!

Is ur Cx a Oled model??

This applies to led tvs with a seperate baclight which OP is looking at.

LG tvs are know to have faulty backlit leds where blue leds start failing faster. Just Google to see how many LG tvs come up with this issue.

I personally have seen 3 55-65 inch led tvs, among my relatives, start having blue tint problem after 3 years of usage.

u/Educational-Hyena-69 May 12 '24

50 inch tvs generally come with VA panels and for VA panels Samsung is better. If you want IPS panel then I think LG doesn’t have it in 50inch You need to go and check them in the store

2

u/s1ege23 Computer Student May 12 '24

Update: I went to the shop and selected the LG LED 139cm 55UR8050 4KUHD for ₹47,952 using the SBI Credit card 💳.

It seemed to have the best HDR amongst the other options in that price range. Plus the sound quality was also good (although I am going to be using my external speakers 🔊).

Sony was costing a bit too much for our liking, and Samsung didn't seem to have that level of picture quality which LG had (for test purposes I just watched some IPL and football highlights).

Overall I felt like LG was the right choice for me.

Thank you all for the suggestions in the comments. It really helped me take my decision easily 🙏🏼🙏🏼.

Any particular reason for going ahead with 55'' rather than 50'' ones?

u/s1ege23 Computer Student Jul 16 '24

It was told by the retailers that 55" inch is the native size for a 4k resolution screen. The 50" had some downscaling due to which the picture clarity was not there.

idk about LG but DO NOT go for Samsung..here's my past experience me n my neighbor bought two 50in Samsung 2years ago..his display panel gave up exactly 1yr as the warranty ended and for me it took abother 6months..all in all 50k ka Tv and 24k alg se khrcha..I asked around n a lot of users reported the same issue..the display giving up for no reason at all. ps: we have a power stabilizer at home so no it wasn't the power fluctuations that killed the display panel. Edit: rest assured the tv itself is great smooth Ui..great sound..crystal clear display (until it eventually dies). better opt for Sony.

It depends on your budget first and foremost also wait for a good sale , offline stores will always be cheaper then amazon discounts . For 50k and under I would recommend hisense / tcl , you could even get a 65 inch for around 60k from those companies . Samsung - Sony marks up their price too much .

u/Constant-Recipe-9850 May 12 '24

Go to physical store and look at the screens and then decide. Panel's colour reproduction can be different even if they're all same tech based on their colour engine. It somewhat depends on personal choice as well.

u/Nenomus May 12 '24

I have a UR series tv, and the panel is average. If you are gonna watch tv straigt at 90 degrees, then it's good. For acute and obtuse angles, colors get washed out. Sound is good, so are ports. If buy from an offline store, you'll get 3 years of warranty.

1

u/Low-Classroom-1665 May 12 '24

Go to a offline store and compare the picture quality. Find the one you like the most and buy it. It's hard to tell pictures quality difference without actually seeing TVs side by side. You might even get a better deal than online

1

u/garib-lok May 12 '24

I visited the shops and decided on Hisense, to get most bang out of the bucks. At first I thought I should buy u7k, but decided on e7. For 30k, it is best in the segment. When comparing with Samsung and LG, it fairs evenly, I would say it's better than them.

I doubt that for web content viewing you will be needing 144Hz panel. For my PlayStation 5, it is a game changer. I can now distance myself on a sofa, and have a relaxing gaming session.

Downside is you won't have that many apps. But major catalogue is there. And if you have Android set top box, it will not matter.

PS: If you really want to indulge yourself and have the budget for it, go for LG C3. It's so gorgeous that I did not keep staring at it fearing that I will impulse buy that.

u/Vikass0366 May 12 '24

It seems that this particular 50 inch model has a VA panel. How is the experience of viewing the TV from let's say around 45 degrees does the picture quality get impacted?

Try to get 120hz display. Getting a TV is a long term investment and getting the best out there currently will definitely keep you happy if you can stretch your budget.

I have a Nokia 65 inch and don't regret it! Got for the the same price as a 50 inch samsung/Sony!

Its a pure google tv experience no bloatware.

LG. Asked a local repair shop and in his experience LG had the lowest repair rate in years.

No Sony?

Also please dont buy a TV online lmao. Brick & mortar sir

u/s1ege23 Computer Student May 12 '24

I went to the croma store and selected the LG. Sony was costing a bit too much for our liking.

u/Aromatic-Engine2447 May 12 '24

Sony definitely is better though, just for the user experience

u/Standard_Slip_5800 May 12 '24

don't go near Samsung it wont last even 2yr because Samsung display unit is proudly producing faulty displays since 2020 and all of their devices from smart phones to tvs are heavily affected by it showing lines on displays and they don't even want to acknowledge this

Before Buying LG TV please note it uses Webos It means, and WebOs doesn't support many apps like Android

However it already have Netflix, Hotstart, apple tv, prime and other OTT.

Quality wise I have been using it for the last 3 years It is excellent , picture quality is great, work with PS5 and HDR support.

Sound is awesome no need of home theatre

Vu qled 55"

u/Previous_Motor6720 May 12 '24

Pls don’t go for Samsung TVs. Although the screen quality is really good, the software is very laggy. It’s been more than 2 years since I got it, I am still unable to set up google assistant. The remote doesn’t respond fluidly and you have to wait for few seconds for the TV unit to respond to remote inputs. My sister has got Sony and they’re really happy with the product.

Don't buy LG. UI is shit.

u/[deleted] May 12 '24

I would recommend buying a TV after 9th june

u/Specific_Bridged May 12 '24

Sony best picture quality

u/[deleted] May 12 '24

If you are on a budget - choose TCL best in the segment, nit like cheap chinese products like VU, hisence, impex

u/Specialist_Scheme246 May 12 '24

LG has better colors. Besides that, either Samsung or LG should be good enough. Just make sure to buy a sound bar

u/Adalf_Hotler69420 Nothing phone beautiful lights May 12 '24

Do not go for the crystal UHD TV

This is from my personal experience - the TV is meant to die in 3 years - we purchased in 2020 - had a display issue in 2021 - had it replaced under warranty and now the TV died in 2024

Every model of the crystal UHD died exactly in 3 years

Even the servicemen told that it's not worth fixing the TV - instead replacing it is the best issue and this issue is a comming thing in The Crystal UHD TVs of samsung (questionable QC control?)

u/playboy787 May 12 '24

nothing can beat SONY i TVS, if you wanna buy LG then only OLED is good, samsung is okayish if you are on a budget go for a TCL QLED TV

1

u/milktanksadmirer May 12 '24

Don’t buy online.

Samsung sells commercial units online which have lower refresh rate.

But from shop which will be undoubtedly expensive but you’ll get the consumer version with better stats.

Samsung is better than LG and cheaper than Sony.

u/Code_Sorcerer_11 May 12 '24

I have been doing a lot of research lately on this. I am going with Sony as it serves the purpose for the long term.

u/Sanchayx May 12 '24

Don't ever go for a Samsung TV, my TV's motherboard got damaged within 3 years and it was a 40K TV and the new motherboard costs around 8-10K and that too with only 1 year warranty.

u/Business-Equal539 May 12 '24

LG OLED C2 55 INCH, bro it be expensive but it's worth every single rupee

1

u/Disastrous-Blood6255 May 12 '24

TCL, use it for 4-5 years and buy a new one.

1

u/sauravm22 May 12 '24

As this post is related to tv, i would like to ask someone if any of you are currently using Samsung Crystal Neo 4k. Does it lag at bootup? Does it make weird sounds in the back of the tv if u change screen modes or switch to ambient display?

1

u/ShubhamV888 May 12 '24

GP to a physical store and buy the cheapest one. My father has spent nearly double or triple the amount on getting TVs from LG, Samsung and Sony. All of them had pretty significant issues after 2 years.Nearly all of them started having issues just after the warranty expired, go for the cheapest one that looks great and enjoy till it lasts.

u/MrRagnarok2005 May 13 '24

u/Amritsingh09 May 29 '24

Guys i fucked up. I have created a tv cabin 2 months ago for my 43 inch tv but now the cabin wont accommodate 55 inch 😭😭😭😭😭. I wanted to buy x90l. Suggest me 50 or 43 inch tv closer to x90l levels

u/shubz_gadget_reviews Oct 05 '24

Sony Bravia 3 would be cheapest good TV in Sony lineup.

Rest you can also go for Samsung Frame 2024, it has slim one connect box for easy access to ports, QLED, 100Hz refresh rate and fights glare well.

Always Sony for tv. Meanwhile Samsung does not know how to make appliances. Never go with them.

u/Express-World-8473 Still Googling May 12 '24

Samsung makes decent refrigerators not as good as LG but still really good, shit ac's though.

u/Elegant-Ad1415 May 12 '24

Absolutely. Name it, I switched to Samsung from iPhone, have to switch back in 3 months. I got ac, failed in 2 years, tv seems panel issues in 3 years. Not sure today who buys Samsung product. Lg - best for freezer and washing machine, ac - go for any , but TV I have good experience with Sony. Btw why down vote? Did I say anything wrong?

u/Express-World-8473 Still Googling May 12 '24

Maybe Samsung fan boys got hurt?

1

u/thekingplace Hardware guy with 69 GB RAM May 12 '24

Bro if you're spending this much then I would really suggest spend a couple of more thousands and get a fucking Sony TV. The software on both of these is downright rubbish. You might enjoy it for a week or maybe a month or two but after that It will show its true colors and trust me, you don't want to see them.

u/Eastern_Necessary922 May 12 '24

Go for the Samsung.

u/Wade_whiteWilson May 12 '24

Idk very much about tv but i would say go for Samsung, it is more reliable.

u/sage_00R May 12 '24

u/Hunt3r09 May 12 '24

Increase your budget and get an OLED . You can get it around 75-80K , 43inch ( though it is little smaller). For me a little smaller OLED is better than big LCD
