Smart features, solid picture and fair price

Pros

  • Bright display with 4K Resolutionsupports HDR10+ content
  • Smart TV, HbbTV & TV recordings
  • Three HDMI ports, integrated Bluetooth module

Cons

  • no Dolby Vision
  • no programme change during TV recording
The low price of the Samsung UE50TU8500 is primarily due to its display technology. It is based on LCD/LED technology, which caot compete with the expensive OLED competition in terms of colour reproduction and viewing angle stability, but is pleasantly bright. The resolution is 4K, and video content in HLG, HDR10 and HDR10+ formats is supported. A pity in this context: Dolby Vision is missing, as usual for Samsung. Otherwise, the 50-inch offers tuners for reception via antea, cable and satellite, and of course, you can record programmes.Access to media libraries, apps and interactive content for live programmes (HbbTV) is also included. The whole thing is rounded off by three HDMI coections, Bluetooth and the possibility of voice control. The bottom line: a good package for the price.

Samsung S90F Review: Best OLED TV Value for the Money
4.6/5
Televisions

The Samsung S90F delivers impressive picture quality for the money with its QD-OLED technology. As the successor to the best-selling S90D, it achieves a remarkable 50% brightness increase to 1,444 cd/m², making it suitable for both dark rooms and daylight viewing. With excellent color accuracy, perfect blacks, outstanding upscaling, and gaming-ready specs (9.3ms input lag, 120Hz), this 65-inch model offers one of the best overall packages in its price class. While the plastic stand feels less premium and the glossy screen isn't as glare-resistant as the S95F's matte display, the S90F proves there's rarely a better OLED TV for the money.

LG OLED77C6 Review
4.5/5
Televisions

The 77-inch C6 secretly carries G-series hardware: a Tandem OLED panel measuring 2,110 cd/m² and HDR accuracy of Delta E 0.51, with four HDMI 2.1 ports at up to 165 Hz. Weak 2x10 W audio and no HDR10+ are the trade-offs.

Samsung 98QN90F Review: Giant Anti-Glare TV with Exceptional Brightness
4.5/5
Televisions

The Samsung 98QN90F delivers a truly cinematic experience with its massive 249cm (98-inch) screen and cutting-edge Mini-LED technology. This 2025 flagship TV combines exceptional brightness (2,630 cd/m²) with outstanding anti-glare technology that reflects just 8% of ambient light - making it perfect for bright living rooms and conservatories. With 165Hz support, 8.4ms input lag, and comprehensive gaming features, it's equally impressive for gaming as it is for movies. The near-perfect colour accuracy, excellent upscaling, and Samsung Vision AI make this one of the most impressive large-screen TVs available. Whilst the price is substantial and OLED still offers superior blacks, the 98QN90F is the ultimate choice for those wanting the largest possible premium viewing experience.

LG OLED65G36LA Review: 65-Inch 4K OLED TV
4/5
Televisions

The LG OLED65G3 (OLED65G36LA) is the brightest OLED television yet, its MLA panel pairing OLED's perfect blacks with explosive HDR brightness, superb build and webOS 23 — a near-flawless set let down only by a narrower colour volume than QD-OLED and weak built-in sound.
