The sweet-spot for TVs in 2024 has to be the sub-Rs 50,000 category. At this price, you get all the premium features you would want including A+ grade panels with HDR support, modern connectivity and gaming options, as well as large panels. Essentially, you get 90% of the features and quality of premium TVs, but at a fraction of the price.

With that in mind, here are some of the best TVs under Rs 50,000 that you can buy in 2024.

5 best TVs to buy under Rs 50,000

1. Croma 55UGC024602 55-inch 4K Google TV

2. Xiaomi X Pro Series 55-inch 4K Google TV

1. Croma 55UGC024602 55-inch 4K Google TV

This 55” model made by Croma is one of the best value 55” TVs you can get under Rs 50,000 because it gets the basics right. Available for Rs 39,990, the Croma 55UGC024602 offers a 4K UHD resolution, multiple USB and HDMI ports (including ARC support), Google TV integration with support for all popular streaming services, a 20W speaker system that supports Dolby Audio, and of course a simple, elegant design that will look good in any home.

The panel is also graded A+ for maximum quality and supports a 60Hz refresh rate. The TV is powered by a quad-core, 1.1GHz processor with 2GB RAM. For the average home, this TV spells excellent value.

2. Xiaomi X Pro Series 55-inch 4K Google TV

Xiaomi’s X Pro series TVs are the ones to go for if you’re after a premium finish and image quality. The display on the Xiaomi X Pro 55-inch TV is a 4K UHD 60Hz panel with both Dolby Vision IQ, HLG, and HDR10+ support – the former is great to have if you’re using an Apple TV or similar device that supports Dolby Vision. The design especially stands out with its 96.6% bezel-less frame and metallic finish body. 

Audio is delivered by a powerful 40W speaker system, and you get the latest PatchWall OS based on Android TV, a far-field mic array that supports voice activation, Mi Home integration, an ALLM (auto low latency mode) for gaming, not to mention HDMI 2.1 with eARC, ethernet, and more.

HiSense E7K Pro 55-inch QLED 4K VIDAA TV

For gamers, we’d recommend the HiSense E7K Pro. It might seem like a standard 55” 4K UHD TV, but it’s not. The display’s refresh rate goes all the way up to a gamer-friendly 144Hz at 4K, and a crazy-fast 240Hz mode at lower resolutions. AMD FreeSync Premium is also supported – a feature that prevents tearing in visuals when gaming. 

Clearly, this is an ideal TV for gamers. On top of this, the QLED IPS panel offers excellent viewing angles, contrast, and image quality. The brightness hits 400 nits, which is enough for basic HDR and the TV does support Dolby Vision and HDR10. This TV runs Vidaa OS that supports most of the major streaming apps and services.

Blaupunkt 65QD7030 65-inch 4K Google TV

If you need a larger TV, we’d recommend the 65-inch Blaupunkt 65QD7030 . It’s similar to the Croma TV mentioned earlier, in that it’s a great TV at a great price that gets the basics right. You get a great design, 4K UHD @ 60Hz support, multiple HDMI and USB ports with eARC, and of course, a large 65” display that supports Dolby Vision. 

We also like the fact that the TV offers QLED tech for better colour accuracy and brightness. As expected from a company known for making powerful audio products, the TV comes with a 60W quad-speaker array that will fill any room with beautifully tuned and immersive sound.

LG UQ7500 55-inch 4K WebOS TV

A more budget friendly option from a premium brand, the LG UQ7500 retails at just Rs 43,999 while still offering a large 55” panel that supports 4K. LG also uses its α5 Gen5 AI Processor here, which does an excellent job of upscaling HD or lower resolution content to 4K. Additionally, LG bundles the TV with WebOS, which is a unique and intuitive TV interface that’s a pleasure to use.

The OS supports most of the popular streaming services and apps including YouTube, Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix, and more. HDR10 Pro support elevates the visual experience, and the gaming mode elevates your gaming experience. Do bear in mind that this TV only supports 60Hz for gaming.

It’s surprising just how much quality and performance one can expect from a TV that retails at under Rs 50,000. Features that we paid a premium for just a couple of years ago are now available at a fraction of the price, and that too with no compromises made to the experience. If you want a quality TV experience in 2024, and at an affordable price at that, these sub-Rs 50,000 TVs indicate it’s very easy to get one.
