Top 10 49 inch TVs
Review of the best 49-inch TVs - according to experts and ordinary buyers
Author: Oleg Yasinsky
Previously, when buying a new TV with a screen from 46 to 50ʺ, it was not at all an idle question - so which diagonal should I choose? For example, the model 46 or 47 is in the line of a favorite brand, but I want a little more, 48ʺ is better, but from another company, the display 50ʺ is good in size, but the design of the TV doesn’t like or the picture quality does not suit. Etc.
And 2017 was marked by the fact that almost all the leading manufacturers finally managed to come to a common standard, and therefore our today's top rating will be dedicated to the best 49 inch TVs.
49-inch TV which company is better?
For quite a long time, the domestic TV market is “dominated” by several brands. Best of all on the trading floors are the products of the Korean giants. Samsung has diversified its 49th diagonal with both relatively simple and high-tech premium models. The same can be said about LG with the only addition that its prices are somewhat more democratic than those of a “compatriot” (and the OLED panels of the diagonal in question have not yet been noticed). Among the giants traditionally in the top is the Japanese brand Sony. Its popular models are not so particularly accessible, but their competitiveness is best “measured” by the traditionally excellent image characteristics and quality assembly.

A favorite in the category of the best 49-inch Full HD TVs is the new model of 2017 from the well-known Japanese brand. It is difficult to call TV cheap, but it is unlikely to scare away sophisticated users, who are primarily interested in a clear and realistic picture on the screen. Among the notable advantages of the “naked eye” are: traditionally refined design and high-quality assembly (in this case, Malaysian). The Triluminos display in “collaboration” with a special backlight control system creates natural, without tiring eye oversaturation, colors. The X-Reality Pro processor makes the image as sharp as possible by scaling the resolution of each pixel. Finally, support for high dynamic range (HDR) provides better detail in highlight and dark scenes. There are in KDL-49WE755 and Smart. The “axis” of Opera TV is often liked to blame groundless just because it is not the same as Samsung, LG and not Android. It's just different. Slightly curtailed, but quite nimble and quite understandable. Buttons for instant access to YouTube and Netflix are displayed on the console. And to activate the well-known "players" with free content is no less simple than for other platforms. Main advantages:

If you need a good 49-inch TV, not a big tablet with a remote control, this is what you need. Shows clearly in every sense. In the store he stood with a crookedly tuned image, asked for the remote and everything fell into place. |

Spectacular and stylish LED TV in 2017 with a curved (curved) screen from Samsung. There is quite an objective opinion that relatively rather large models from this manufacturer are better to choose no less than 6 series.Accordingly, the UE49M6500AU with its 49-inch Full HD display has every reason to consider not only as an interior decoration, but also as an advanced device of a decent level. The optimal shape and characteristics of the 60 Hz VA matrix create the effect of greater immersion in what is happening on the screen. A whole set of proprietary technologies is responsible for improving the input quality of content: Ultra clean view gives clarity, PurColour shapes natural colors, Auto Depth Enhancer depth, Micro Dimming enhances the detail of dark and light fragments. Reception of digital TV channels managed by a DVB-T2 / C / S2 tuner, broadcasting high-definition content is available via HDMI (3 connectors) or USB (2 ports). “Smart” features are implemented on the basis of Tizen OS with a convenient and improved Smart Hub interface. Includes a universal One Remote Control remote capable of controlling devices connected to TV and responding to voice commands. Main advantages:

Watching tv in the room is very cool. The quality of the image pleases. There are visible lights on dark backgrounds, but not very annoying. It is quite normal Smart, if you do not try to watch the "heavy" video through the browser. |

LG did not change the traditions and presented in 2017 Full HD TV 6 series with good features at a very affordable price. Modern design, neat and stylish stand, decent image quality, plus “smart” features are good reasons for the appearance of the model in the ranking of the best. The 49-inch display with Direct LED backlight has good color and brightness. Support for 1080p Full HD allows you to comfortably view high-definition content, and, if necessary, the picture quality can be improved, thanks to the Resolution Upscaler algorithm (resolution scaling). The system webOS 3.5 provides the user with ample opportunities for online entertainment, works smartly, the interface is convenient and simple. A nice bonus is the Magic Remote Universal Remote with a scroll wheel and voice recognition. Main advantages:

This model of 2017 can be considered optimal for users who want to get a modern 49-inch 4K UHD TV with an excellent functional set and made in a stylish and elegant design. The premium status of the UE49MU7000 is not quite enough, but it is the clear leader in its segment. The display model supports a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, the type of backlight - Edge-LED. Dynamic Crystal Color technology enriches the image on the screen with realistic and clean colors, the Precision Black local dimming algorithm enhances contrast, and Peak Illuminator details the dark areas. Brightness and clarity unavailable to conventional televisions are achieved thanks to HDR support. Intelligent features are represented by the interface Smart Hub, controlled by the operating system Tizen 3.0. Smart is absolutely understandable, but it’s not worth waiting for a laptop to work, despite the presence of a 4-core processor. A great bonus is the stylish One Remote Control remote without any extra buttons and with the ability to change channels using voice. Main advantages:

I am a principled opponent of curved TVs and I don’t see the point of paying for them anymore. I took this new model and realized that I had not lost. The picture is just super, 60 Hz, but this is somehow not very annoying. The main thing is that the signal quality is good. |

LG's newest OLED panels are far from being affordable for everyone, but the 4K UHD TV sets even the 7 series Korean brand offers at a reasonable price. This is clearly seen in the example of the 49UJ740V model, which is a little inferior to the leader of the category in terms of functionality and capabilities, and even surpasses it in some aspects. IPS 4K technology provides a bright and clean image with perfect viewing angles, Ultra Luminance and Local Dimming due to the effective use of the backlight improves the detail, the activation of the 4K Upscaler algorithm allows you to scale the resolution to UHD. LG's proprietary technology Active HDR with support for HDR 10, HLG and Dolby Vision makes the image crisp with perfectly “traced” textures, and for content with a standard initial dynamic range there is an enhancement mode HDR Effect. To match the rest of the parameters of the Ultra Surround audio system, which is capable of creating a seven-channel surround sound simulation. The built-in USB media player is not experiencing problems with reading any content formats. Main advantages:

I'm not a fan of LG, but after weighing everything, I came to the conclusion that this model suits me more than others. Previously, I did not come across HDR format, now I am looking for just such content, and it reproduces its TV quite well. |

Model 7 series already from the Japanese manufacturer. The stylish design with thin frames from Sony is taken as a matter of course, and the highest resolution of the screen 3840x2160 (Ultra HD), along with highly efficient video processing technologies, guarantee the user a real pleasure from viewing. Support for 4K HDR allows you to achieve the most realistic image with an improved display of light and dark scenes, and since the TV is perfectly combined with the Play Station, it is possible to enjoy modern games in HDR-quality. The 4K X-Reality Pro processor provides the best detail and image clarity. Despite the minimalist design of the case, the TV is equipped with a very decent sound system with ClearAudio + mode. The power of the front speakers is 2x10 W; Dolby and DTS digital formats are supported. Main advantages:

For the Sony brand, this 49-inch 4K TV can be said to be inexpensive. At the same time, both the performance and the image quality are at a very decent level. The naturalness of the colors is very pleasing, HDR is noticeable, although somewhat limited. For this price is fine. |

Someone meticulously assesses the smallest details of the UHD TVs image, craves a strictly 120 Hz matrix, while others are more realistic about the capabilities of their wallet and understand that the resolution of 3840x2160 pixels is not only for expensive models and 60 Hz is not that bad . When choosing a 49-inch 4K TV on the principle of "inexpensive, but with taste," you should pay attention to the LG 49UJ634V. And there is something to see.IPS 4K panel has a colorful and bright image with excellent viewing angles, Active HDR technology (albeit without Dolby Vision support) makes the picture realistic and clear, the 4K Upscaler algorithm is able to scale the input resolution. The DVB-T2 / C / S2 digital tuner is no worse than the more advanced LG TVs. The same can be said about the capabilities of the Smart TV platform with webOS 3.5. The sound system is quite decent, and if you want more, there is always the opportunity to purchase a soundbar. With the design of the order - a thin frame, aesthetic appearance of the stand. The console, however, is very ordinary, but, for example, it is more familiar to conservative users and older people, and the Magic Remote is optionally supported. Main advantages:

Although this UHD TV belongs to the budget series, I don’t see any serious flaws in it. I launched 4K content via Android Box - everything is cool, support for HDR 10 and HLG is a real plus. |

It turns out that premium TV can be bought for a relatively reasonable amount. Moreover, the Super UHD TV LG 49SJ810V is a truly high-tech and advanced product. During its creation, the manufacturer has relied on the newest Nano Cell technology, the essence of which is not in controlling the backlight or adding a filter from quantum dots, but in improving the properties of the IPS matrix directly by using innovative Nano materials. The result - the most vivid, vibrant and accurate colors plus perfect viewing angles. You can not keep silent about the presence of technology Active HDR with support, in addition to the classical formats, premium Dolby Vision. This means that high-quality content can achieve the highest clarity, contrast and the best detail of dark and light scenes.

Not a bit sorry about the money spent. The only thing you can blame yourself for after buying is to take a bigger diagonal. The image is just a fairy tale. TV on the bracket is suspended close to the wall. Looks - super! |
A few tips to conclude
Choose a TV for optimal performance and functionality - the method is correct and logical. But, so that disappointment suddenly befalls at home, some nuances must also be taken into account.
Televisions from Korean brands Samsung and LG are a miracle as good, but do not forget that the assembly from them is Russian. And sometimes, unfortunately, this fact does not cause a sense of pride. When buying in retail stores, it is better not to use all sorts of “green corridors”, and upon delivery from the Internet sites, do not immediately release the hurried courier and carefully check the copy to be absent of any flaws (cracks, distortions, strong lights and spots on the screen).
Sony, Panasonic TVs with build quality (Malaysia, Czech Republic, Slovakia) have practically no problems, but they are not insured from such troubles as broken pixels. If you notice something like this during the purchase process, you can easily request another TV, and if you are already at home, you have the right to refuse to exchange and, frankly speaking, on quite legitimate grounds.
Finally, advice for those who come to the store with a test flash drive. The method is absolutely literate, but you should also understand that certain models are configured differently by default on the storefront. More profitable for sale are usually running in an eye-catching bright and colorful demo mode, while others in the standard itself. And in order to obtain objective results of the comparison, the conditions must be equivalent.
Enjoy the shopping!
