TOP 20 best 49-inch TVs: 2021 rating in terms of price/quality ratio and which model to choose

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

Remote control

How convenient is the control?
In 2021, LG released a new version of the Magic Remote. The TV we are considering is equipped with it. The main difference between this accessory and previous versions is the disappearance of some not particularly necessary buttons, instead of which keys for quick launch of the corresponding applications were added - Okko, Kinopoisk HD and some others. Controversial decision. However, it should be noted that the remote control still remains one of the most convenient. It is surpassed only by the One Remote, which will be found in the box with your Samsung TV. Many call this accessory the best due to its miniature size. At the same time, it also works via Bluetooth, thanks to which the voice search function is implemented. In short, controlling Smart TV with this accessory is a pleasure.

Additional buttons for launching applications are also available on the remote controls that come with Sony and Philips TVs. Some may find these accessories too big. Increasingly, manufacturers of Smart TV devices are abandoning buttons with numbers, but here they have not gone away. As for the microphone, it is present in these remote controls, just like in all the others.

Complete minimalism is observed in the accessory found in the box with the Xiaomi TV. There are not even additional buttons to speed up the launch of applications! And with the interface used in Android TV, they would be useful.

Sony KD-50X81J

Image enhancers

The Japanese have introduced a large number of their own technologies responsible for improving picture quality.

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.

Interfaces

Connectors and wireless modules

Some people buy a 49- or 50-inch TV in order to connect a variety of equipment to it. And despite the fact that we focused on devices with an optimal price-quality ratio, all of them can boast not only 4K resolution, but also a rich set of interfaces. In particular, TVs support the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard, thanks to which Smart TV quickly loads video content. They also have a Bluetooth module. How else would voice control work? The only thing that confuses me is the old version of the “blue tooth” on the Sony TV - it will discharge wireless headphones a little faster.

If we talk about connectors, almost all TVs have a 3.5 mm jack. There are no problems with sound output to the soundbar or speakers. As for HDMI and USB, the number of these sockets on TVs does not differ too much. The best situation is observed with the LGI product. But this is not surprising. The high refresh rate of the screen obliged the South Korean manufacturer to introduce support for HDMI 2.1.

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.
