£500 and under
While you have to tread carefully with budget TVs, there’s definitely quality to be found if you know where to look
HISENSE ROKU R50A7200GTUK
The princely total of £296 has no right to get you even an absolutely bog-standard 50-inch TV. The R50A7200GTUK, though, is anything but bog-standard.
For starters, its smart features – video streaming services and so on – are provided by Roku, meaning you get access to a truly comprehensive array of video streaming services and online resources via a fantastically no-nonsense interface. Even better, its picture quality is almost unbelievably good for the money. Contrast, colour, sharpness and motion clarity all look like they’ve somehow sneaked onto the TV from a much more expensive model.
Even sound quality, so often forgotten on budget (and some not so budget) TVs, is detailed and clean. There really is no TV in recent memory that defines bang for your buck better than the Hisense R50A7200GTUK.
