FAQs

1. Is a 50 inch TV big enough for a main living room?

For many Australian apartments and open-plan living areas, a 50 inch tv is often the perfect size. Not too big to overwhelm the room, but large enough to provide an immersive cinematic experience. If your seating is approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres away from the screen, this size provides excellent clarity without causing eye strain. However, if you have a particularly large lounge room, you might want to explore our 55" TVs or 65" TVs for a more "theatre-like" feel. Many of our Samsung, Hisense, LG, TCL TVs in the 50-inch range are 4K TVs, meaning you can sit closer to the screen while still enjoying incredibly sharp detail.

2. What is the difference between QLED and OLED in smaller TV sizes?

When shopping for 50" TVs & Below, the panel technology significantly impacts your viewing experience. OLED models, frequently seen in LG and Samsung ranges, offer "perfect blacks" because each pixel turns off individually, making them ideal for dark-room movie nights. On the other hand, QLED technology, a staple for TCL tvs and Hisense, uses quantum dots to produce higher brightness levels, which is perfect for sun-drenched Australian living rooms. If you are looking for a screen that handles glare well during daytime sport, a bright QLED or LED LCD TVs might be your best bet, whereas an OLED is the gold standard for contrast.

When browsing Samsung, Hisense, LG, TCL TVs, look for features like HDMI 2.1 ports, which support high frame rates and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smoother gameplay on the latest consoles.
