Best 55-Inch LED TVs for Immersive Experience

When it comes to wireless connectivity options, Internet streaming is also quite sharp and vivid with this TV. And since the OS powering this TV is Android, you can significantly extend its capabilities by downloading additional applications from Google Play. The dashboard is simple to use and fully customizable with the apps you want to use. What's more, each app has its own well-designed interface and shows you the latest content without a need to dig for it. For instance, news apps show the news that's relevant, while music apps show recently-played playlists.

Naturally, this Android TV successfully integrates with Android and Google ecosystems and pairs easily with Android devices. You can connect it to Alexa and ask it to play music, launch some video apps, and more. Or, you can sign into Google Assistant and expand the voice capabilities of the remote control. Speaking of which, the remote is well laid-out and very responsive. The only slight niggle is that some users find it ridiculously long and not very comfortable in hands. Yet, the number of great features the Sony X800H offers easily overshadows this small issue. It's a feature-rich and responsive TV set with numerous input options, vivid colors, and sharp definition

Even though the TV features the same 4K native resolution that most OLED TVs these days come fitted with, generally speaking, people use these TVs to watch HD and SDR content (live cable, OTA broadcasts, various non-4K content from different streaming services) more often than not.

That's precisely why the TV's edge-lit profile is not as bad as one might think. You don't need especially high brightness to make these formats look good. All you need is decent upscaling tech and this TV more than delivers in this department.

Using the company's Quantum processor, the screen incorporates sophisticated AI algorithms that fill in the details when upscaling from SDR/HD to 4K. These algorithms are able to make upscaled visuals look crisp and clear.

At the same time, the TV's motion handling is better than most OLED models' within this price bracket, ensuring smooth playback, all while making sure that the dialogue scenes do not have that soap opera effect.

On the sound front, the two 10-watt speakers are not necessarily something to write home about but the AI-controlled Intelligent Audio tech does solid work elevating the mids and adding clarity to the dialogue.

In closing, the Samsung QN55Q60RAFXZA is unable to compete with the company's flagship models since those cost more than double the price but the TV will have no issues bumping heads with any OLED TV within its price segment.

When we focus on the picture quality this TV offers, we can safely say that it's more than great for the price. The telly has wide viewing angles and can fit large living rooms with wide seating areas perfectly. The thing is, the LG 55UN7300PUF is made with an IPS panel to provide good picture quality from side angles without decreasing color saturation and contrast. So, it ensures rich, vibrant colors at a high contrast ratio and wide viewing angles. However, like most IPS panels, it lacks a local dimming feature and might hurt black levels a bit. Also, it's worth mentioning that the TV supports HDR10 but not HDR10+, meaning it can't get bright enough to bring out the smallest specular highlights. That's why this TV may be not the best option for nighttime watchers who would like to get the most detailed picture ever.

Other than that, the LG 55UN7300PUF is a decent real 4K screen that has a wide side angle viewing capability, great reflection handling, and good overall performance. Designed with artificial intelligence, it's also one of the smartest models you can find.

With the ridiculously slim frame, this TV can immerse you in the on-screen action and make the gameplay look and feel far more true-to-life. The TV has a sleek, elegant, and minimalistic design that draws you into the screen from any angle and seamlessly blends with the surroundings. And to be even more unobtrusive, the TV is fitted with the nice stand that neatly hides all the cables and lets you fully enjoy your TV content without the clutter.

The TV remote here also has a tidy design with minimum buttons and a slim profile. Yet, Samsung's OneRemote packs a big punch and can give you total control over watching experience. It automatically detects all compatible connected devices and lets you use your voice to access favorite content as well as control other smart devices around your home. And what is notable, besides Alexa and Google Assistant, it also supports Bixby.

In sum, this is a great TV from a world-leading manufacturer that won't break the bank. For sure, it's one of the best 4K TV for gaming at its price point. Also, this 55-inch panel will be excellent for movie nights.

Speaking of design peculiarities, the TCL 55S525 certainly wins on style. It has a clean, minimalist look with ribbon-thin borders and legs that support the TV really well. The back of the TV is also very plain. On the rear, it has the plastic electronics connection compartment that looks simple but houses three HDMI ports, a headphone jack, a USB port, a Composite in, an Optical out, and even an Ethernet port. So it has everything to let you connect your gaming consoles, cable or satellite TV, Blu-ray players, and some other devices.

That said, we believe you'll hardly need to connect any third-party devices as this TV runs the Roku smart OS which is generally excellent and gives quick access to thousands of streaming channels and media apps. The Roku's interface is extremely user-friendly and runs perfectly smooth. Plus, you can navigate it using either a special app on your phone or the remote that comes in the box. The remote also has a minimalistic design and features only a few control buttons.

All things considered, despite being quite budget-friendly, this TCL TV offers good clarity and isn't deprived of the most essential features you may look for in a 55-inch screen. It has good contrast, black uniformity, and hardly requires a connection to external streaming media boxes or a cable TV subscription owing to the Roku platform that offers a whole new world of entertainment.
