Hi all, currently in the market for a new smart/streaming TV. I’m interested in upgrading to something smoother and a bit higher picture quality in the 42 inch to 50 inch range (don’t wanna go all the way to 55 because I’m not sure what my wall mount is rated for)

My current Hisense Roku TV toasted itself i think, it’s struggling to turn on and is in a constant boot loop where it barely flashes the logo before turning off. I’m not opposed to buying another brand at all, or even considering a Roku brand TV, I just want people who have owned or know more about these than me to help with recommendations.

I’m not sure what pricing is like on smart tv’s in this category, mine have always either been gifted or on sale. Here’s a few things I’m looking for, but they dont all have to be part of what I buy:

-Display dimming options (even the darkest setting on my current one was so damn bright at night sometimes) -Live TV without cable -Voice remote function -4k compatible HDMI (Unless it happens natively when playing on console) -Manufacturer warranty

Thanks in advance for any replies (:

Edit: I see that we’re not recommending Roku, and yikes. I havent personally experienced anything they’re introducing, but i think that clears the choice for not buying one of their in-house tv’s 😂

As the title says, I'm looking for a new TV in the 48 to 50" size range. Since the smallest size for a lot of TV's is 55", I'm not quite sure what the best option is for me. I first thought of the LG C4, but apparently the smaller sizes use a different pannel that does not get so bright as the 55" and bigger sizes? Then I looked at the S90D and the B4, I read something bout the C4 and B4 not being bright enough and are nearly identical except for content upscaling? And that both have better software than the S90D but that one does get a lot brighter... I just feel a bit lost at the moment.

I will use it for watching movies and TV shows 95% of the time, a lot of that content won't be native 4k quality. My room is not super bright, no direct sunlight will ever hit the sceeen. But I don't really know how to interpret this when looking at brightness.

I'm comming from a 42" full HD LCD TV from Sony that's 12 years old. So anything from above will already be a massive upgrade... I'm I over thinking this?

Hi i need a recommendation for a good 50 inch tv.
