At this price point, it&#8217;s hard to imagine a 50&#8243; TV that could be a master of all disciplines; however, aside from struggling a bit with high-FPS content (like sports), it&#8217;s difficult to point out any serious faults in the TCL 5-Series. Not only is its Roku interface a fan favorite, but a vibrant color spectrum and superior contrast ratio will convince any nonbeliever that this product can steal the show when it comes to gaming and casual viewing alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceptional black uniformity<\/li>\n<li>Wide breadth of ports &amp; inputs<\/li>\n<li>Impressive stutter &amp; judder reduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Narrow viewing angle<\/li>\n<li>No local dimming feature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Hisense 59H8G Quantum Series<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hisense-50-Inch-Quantum-Android-50H8G\/dp\/B086BG213X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hisense-50-Inch-Quantum-Android-50H8G\/dp\/B086BG213X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51r0mkH-h6L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hisense-50-Inch-Quantum-Android-50H8G\/dp\/B086BG213X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Have the Good Sense to Go for Hisense<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">The Quantum Series boasts exceptional specs and a premium design perfect for the media fanatic that demands the best.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best High-End<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hisense-50-Inch-Quantum-Android-50H8G\/dp\/B086BG213X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Seldom does a display completely blow you away without blowing holes in your bank account \u2013 until now, that is. Enter the Hisense Quantum Series television. Its LCD-style Vertical Alignment panelling delivers market-leading color depth and contrast which is evident from first viewing (although you may need to tinker with out of the box calibration to lock in that optimal color accuracy). Although not explicitly a gaming monitor, its sub-15ms input lag will certainly please any joystick junkie when the gaming gets serious. Additionally, the Quantum Series boasts a sturdy build that&#8217;s more prevalent in high-end units. This ensures that an errant elbow or curious child won&#8217;t puncture a hole in the panel or knock the solid base off of its platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stunning viewing quality in dark rooms<\/li>\n<li>Extremely low likelihood of burn-in &amp; image retention<\/li>\n<li>Handles reflection well<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Upscaling to 4K could be better<\/li>\n<li>Quite pricey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Insignia 50&#8243; Fire TV Edition<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Insignia-NS-50DF711SE21-50-inch-UHD-4K\/dp\/B08749TDYD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Insignia-NS-50DF711SE21-50-inch-UHD-4K\/dp\/B08749TDYD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41hZlQL9CHL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Insignia-NS-50DF711SE21-50-inch-UHD-4K\/dp\/B08749TDYD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Roast the Competition with Insignia's Fire<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This model's crisp display and its array of creature-comfort features makes it the perfect gift for the cord-cutting family or cost-conscious college student.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best On A Budget<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Insignia-NS-50DF711SE21-50-inch-UHD-4K\/dp\/B08749TDYD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Seeing as this is our budget pick, it&#8217;s to be expected that the liveliness of the color spectrum may not live up to our more premium recommendations, but that rarely tells the entire story. The Insignia Fire is modern enough that it won&#8217;t be made extinct any time soon due to a lack of ports or abysmal performance. In fact, the robust contrast ratio is a sight for sore eyes \u2013 literally. Aside from wide angled shots and high frames per second viewing, you will seldom see motion distortion in the vast majority of content you&#8217;ll be watching. For the budget-minded consumer, we see this one as an invaluable purchase that&#8217;ll exceed expectations for years on end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lightweight<\/li>\n<li>Intuitive setup of Fire interface<\/li>\n<li>Unbeatable price for 4K<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color gamut needs calibration out of box<\/li>\n<li>Not suited for AAA modern gaming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung RU7100 50&#8243; 7 Series<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-UN50RU7100FXZA-FLAT-UHD-Smart\/dp\/B07NC9SPBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-UN50RU7100FXZA-FLAT-UHD-Smart\/dp\/B07NC9SPBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51thAkzZ9BL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-UN50RU7100FXZA-FLAT-UHD-Smart\/dp\/B07NC9SPBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RU Ready for Samsung Superiority?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">Whether it comes to hardcore gaming or casual viewing, the 7 Series delivers top-class picture quality where it matters.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Gaming<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-UN50RU7100FXZA-FLAT-UHD-Smart\/dp\/B07NC9SPBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>High-end displays tend to perform a balancing act between motion stability and image clarity. Unfortunately, this requires sacrificing excellence in one for mediocrity from both. The result is a less-than-ideal product. The RU7100, commits no such error; rather, it hones in on the essential features and cranks them up to 11. For example, its high gradient (which is the measure of how well the finer details of images are displayed) and an impressive grey-and-black uniformity combine to make up for a less-than-impressive color volume. This may or may not be enough to get a film fanatic out of their home theater enclave; however, it will most certainly impress your gamer neighbor who tends to favor lower blur, limited stutter, and spectacularly low input lag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Top-tier color accuracy<\/li>\n<li>VESA spacers included<\/li>\n<li>Fantastic audio quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remote has limited functions<\/li>\n<li>Interface is not ad-free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>LG UN7300 50&#8243; 4K TV<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-50UN7300PUF-Alexa-Built-Ultra\/dp\/B0817CYVGB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-50UN7300PUF-Alexa-Built-Ultra\/dp\/B0817CYVGB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51zKKnfQRXL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-50UN7300PUF-Alexa-Built-Ultra\/dp\/B0817CYVGB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Live Graciously with LG<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">LG designed a machine with control of the entire home in mind, bringing all your devices together in a harmonious union.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best PC\/IoT Compatibility<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-50UN7300PUF-Alexa-Built-Ultra\/dp\/B0817CYVGB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>As one of the newly-designed models on the the market today, LG UN7300 is at the cutting edge of the smart TV universe.

As it stands, it&#8217;s a cutting edge technology with limited distribution and a small range of applications. Sure, there are some beautiful 8K TV models out on the market already, however the majority of streamed content cannot currently be rendered in 8K and the cost is prohibitively expensive. Given that it will be several years before most content creators and ancillary device manufacturers make the switch, we highly recommend sticking with 4K for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong> What products should be purchased to supplement my new TV?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In general, a 4K television will come loaded with most of the features needed to exist in the post-cable world. Depending on your content provider, it&#8217;s important to determine which operating system your display is compatible with, as not all systems play nicely with their competitors. As a hedge against this, having a minimum of three HDMI ports for casting devices or connecting your PC is a must-have, and the ability to supplement with a matching soundbar will ensure you get the best out of your device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TCL 5-Series Roku Smart TV TCL may be far from becoming the preeminent name in top-of-the-line modern displays, but this particular TV most certainly hits the mark for a wide cross-section of consumers.
