Which 48" or 50" TV should I choose?
For the best picture, choose a 48" OLED – all four are 4K with gaming up to 165Hz. For a bright room or an everyday 4K TV, the 50" Neo QLED gives you a slightly bigger screen.

Is 48 or 50 inches the right size?
Screen size is largely personal preference – but in our experience very few customers wish they’d gone smaller, and plenty who choose a smaller screen later wish they’d gone bigger. If this is your main living-room TV and you sit more than 2.5 metres away, it’s worth looking at a 55".
Bring your current screen size, the width of your TV unit or wall and your viewing distance to our showroom, and we’ll help you choose. TV size guide · TVs up to 43" · 55" TVs

48 & 50-inch TV FAQs
What viewing distance suits a 48-inch TV?
Roughly 1.5 to 2.5 metres – great for smaller living rooms, bedrooms or a gaming setup. If you sit further back, a 55" will give a more immersive picture. Read our TV size guide.
What is the best 48-inch TV?
All four of our 48" TVs are OLEDs with 4K gaming up to 165Hz. The Samsung S95H and LG G6 are the brighter models, while the Samsung S90H and LG C6 are superb all-rounders. A 48" OLED also makes an excellent big gaming monitor.
How big is a 48 or 50-inch TV?
A 48" TV is about 1.07 metres wide and 62 cm tall, and a 50" about 1.12 metres wide and 64 cm tall, before the stand. Check the stand footprint on the TV’s page against your TV unit.
Can a 48 or 50-inch TV be wall-mounted?
Yes. All of these TVs use standard VESA fixings, and each TV’s page shows its VESA size and the Vogel’s brackets that fit. Our own team can mount it, hide the cables and set everything up. Our installation service.
