Would you tech gurus suggest to me a 50" TV?

-We don't watch a ton of movies and tv shows
-Do watch a lot of sports
-Have Dish
-50" max size I can fit in entertainment center
-Not looking for absolute highest end - would like a good value product


Thanks!

Unfortunately, the ~50" range is now an odd size for TVs as there's not a ton of competition in that size range anymore since most are now competing at the 55"+ range.

Looks like the Sony XBR49X900F is your best option, but it's pretty pricey for that size.

Here's a pretty solid list of your options in that range:

For the price, I've been very happy with my TCL Roku TVs.

the picture difference between a 9XX Sony XBR and this would be huge....

For more than 2X the price, I would hope that the picture would be a lot better. The OP said he was looking for a value product.

HDR is also better on the Sony.... as is color accuracy... as is pretty much everything else... oh and the Sony has androidTV build in... so its also better than the Roku.

This doesn't matter nearly as much for sports as it does for movies. It matters, but if I were a movie buff I'd refuse to watch anything on a 60 hz TV.

Why are you being such a jackass - he clearly stated for the price and acknowledged the Sony should be better, again, for the price.
Take the trash out staff.

Vizio P Series. Great picture. One of the best reviewed TVs. Built in Chromecast.
