A 55-inch 4K smart TV can be a pretty decent upgrade for your living room, bedroom or dedicated entertainment space, but the differences between models are not always obvious from the screen size alone. Panel technology, refresh rate, HDR support, audio output and the smart TV platform can all affect the experience, while the price gap between mainstream and feature-heavy models can be massive. This list compares five 55-inch TVs from Sony, TCL and VW, ranging from more affordable QLED options to a premium SQD-Mini LED model. The Sony models focus on picture processing and Google TV, while TCL brings QLED and Mini LED options with different approaches to gaming and HDR. VW, meanwhile, packs a feature-heavy specification into a more value-focused package.
