Best small TVs

TVs under 50 inches for bedrooms, kitchens and tight spaces.

Small TVs are bought for rooms where space and price matter more than cinema scale. Picture technology is simpler at these sizes, so look for good smart features, sensible ports and an honest tuner if you use an antenna. Sit closer than you would to a large set for the same viewing angle.

Good to know

Questions people ask

How far should I sit from a small TV?

A common rule is to sit about one and a half to two and a half times the screen’s diagonal away. The size guidance on each product page works it out for your distance.

Do small TVs have OLED or Mini LED?

Premium technologies are rarer at small sizes. Many small TVs use standard LED panels, which is fine for casual viewing.

Is 4K worth it on a small screen?

The difference is harder to see at small sizes and normal distances, but almost all current TVs are 4K anyway, so it rarely costs extra.
