50 inch plus TVs

Choosing a 50”+ TV can be a difficult task as there's so much choice.

It’s a big decision...

Below are brief details of some of the best extra-large televisions currently available, with links to more information. We’ve chosen one plasma, one LCD and one LED set. But frankly, you’d be insane to choose a television only by its description, just as you’d be insane to buy a car without first driving it. So we recommend you to pay us a visit at our Reading showroom, where we’ll explain (in plain English) the differences between the plasma, LCD and LED screens, and demonstrate a variety of sets so that you can experience the capabilities of the various models for yourself. Look forward to seeing you soon!

60” Pioneer KURO KRP-600P Plasma TV

The gadget website, T3, has given the KURO KRP-600P 5 stars in its review of this super-thin 60-inch plasma TV, which is just 64mm deep. T3 described this full HD flagship model as "The closest to perfect a TV has ever been." Commenting on its Blu-ray Disc playback, they said: "This really is the most lifelike image you'll get on anything..." A regarding its a separate media receiver, T3 remarked "keeping the media box separate brings a welcome level of convenience and flexibility that will please both the professional installers and the die-hard home cinema fans that this set is aimed at."

55" Toshiba Black REGZA 55ZV635 LCD TV

Toshiba’s 55” REGZA 55ZV635 combines HD Ready 1080p picture processing with a stunning ‘Deep Lagoon’ design. It includes newly developed Active Vision M200HD picture processing technology to produce Toshiba’s smoothest fast-moving images to date. The 55ZV635 features Resolution+ technology that enhances edge detail and texture to upscale high definition content to near high definition quality, providing clearer, sharper, richer images. As no two environments are ever the same, it has an AutoView function that adapts to its surroundings. And integrated Dolby Volume stops those annoying changes in volume levels as you switch between channels or your home entertainment systems.

55” Samsung UE55B7020 LED TV

Designed as a seamless unit, Samsung's LED 7000 is breathtakingly thin. On its LED screen, vivid details are captured in every frame, with picture edge-blur removed and full, robust colour restored to each pixel. It's a remarkable feat of design, on or off. As you’d expect, picture quality is outstanding. Its Mega Contrast Ratio feature brings out all the shades of grey as well the shades of amber, fuchsia and magenta. It takes only one screw to mount the astonishingly slim, light television. And just one look at the ‘Touch of Colour’ frame with its soft, square corners is all it takes to see that it's not just a television you're hanging, but also a work of art.
