LG’s fortunes as a TV brand have been transformed over the past decade by its focus on OLED technology. The picture quality advantages associated with OLED have made it the darling of “serious” AV fans, and LG’s position at the forefront of OLED innovation has enabled it to transition from a brand once mostly associated with modest LCD TVs to a serious high-end player.

Smart TVs of all sizes will transform your viewing experience, but what size is right for you will depend on your living space. A 50-inch TV ( wall-mounted or not) will look best from a distance of around 2.5 – 3.5 metres. Any closer and you risk the image looking pixelated, further away and you’ll miss the details. Don’t worry if this means you have to consider a more compact 32-inch TV or larger 65-inch screen option – we’ve rounded up the best of those for you elsewhere. A lot of time is also spent using the TVs as you would normally. We watch a huge variety of different content across a range of platforms, including Dolby Vision films on Netflix, TV shows on Prime Video and Disney Plus, and terrestrial broadcasts. If you're too close to a TV, no matter how high-quality the image, it's going to look blown out and poor. Too far, and you may as well watch Netflix on your phone.Transform your entertainment experience with the LG 50UR80006LJ smart TV. Boasting a 50-inch 4K UHD display, this TV delivers stunning visuals with lifelike colours and crystal-clear details. With support for HDR10 and HLG, it provides enhanced contrast and a wider colour gamut for a more immersive viewing experience. In terms of price, a 50-inch TV is often considered a mid-range option. It provides a good balance between screen size and affordability, making it an attractive choice for many consumers who want a decent-sized display without breaking the bank. We need to be clear, of course, about which features LG has stripped out of the OLED48A2 to make it so affordable. The main ones are that it only carries a “standard” OLED panel rather than an Evo one; it’s only a 50Hz/60Hz panel, so there’s no support for 4K/120Hz gaming, and it only has three HDMIs rather than four. Essentially, the A2s sacrifice high-end gaming options to provide a more affordable OLED option for film buffs.

For years now, the mid-range C series in LG’s annual OLED TV range refresh has consistently offered the best combination of features, performance and value. And despite dramatic improvements in LG’s stellar G2 series for 2022, the 65in OLED65C2 still gets our vote as the best all-round option – it’s perfect for households who don’t have a limitless budget and like to use their TV for both serious gaming and movie nights.
