    Product Overview

    Are you a movie buff or a boxset binger? Whatever your preference, this 50-inch Samsung smart TV has loads of great tech to make the latest releases look amazing. It’ll bring out every little detail and fill your screen with lifelike colour thanks the combo of a 4K resolution and HDR10. From the biggest blockbusters to cosy nature docs, you won’t believe your eyes. And it sounds good too. OTS Lite and Q-Symphony don’t just surround you in crystal-clear 3D audio, they also follow the action across the screen so it all sounds exactly like it should. How’s that for immersive? But if it does get a bit too loud, just hook up your Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and ask it to turn the volume down for you. Who needs a remote anyway?

    To use smart features (including streaming services) on this TV, you’ll need to create or sign into a Samsung Account. Without signing in, you’ll only have access to standard channels and external devices, like consoles or blu ray players.


    We want you to fully enjoy your new TV, so please be careful when unpacking it – pull it out of the box using the edges so that you don’t damage the screen. If you need to return your TV for any reason, we just ask that you don’t pack the plug in front of the screen as it could damage the TV in transit.

    4/5

    Ashley

    Great sound and crisp picture quality

    5/5
    Brilliant tv easy to set up and use, loads of great features. Can't beat Samgsung for non glare when it's bright outside. My friend who has a new QLED said they can't tell the difference in picture quality, great sound too. Can't fault it, would definitely recommend.

    Lovely TV.

    Over the moon with this TV, excellent picture and 3 different sound settings.

    Great tv for the price

    5/5
    Great tv easy to set up. Has an arc hdmi point so you can easily add a soundbar if the sound isn’t to your liking. Personally I’m using a Sonos arc and it obviously makes a lot of difference. Love the second remote control small and compact. Plus the price of this tv is on point let’s face it tech is moving faster and faster. Changing up to a new tv more often these days and it’s a fantastic price for a 50” tv. In addition the Apple Watch connects and you get all the stats on screen. Great for Apple fitness workouts. Good picture quality and very happy with purchase nothing bad about it at all.

    Great picture

    4/5
    Picture is really good, the only frustration is the number of set up screens. The tv is well packaged and easy to set up physically.

    ** UE50CU8500 was at the higher price between 03/04/2024 and 01/05/2024.

    Intervening prices between the "was" and the "now" price have applied. Intervening prices may have been lower than the current price due to our price match promise or other promotions during the intervening period.

    Any offers are genuine savings. We always want to be able to offer you an incredible deal, so we’ll always match our competitors on price. This means our prices could drop further, or potentially reduce again once a promotional event ends. If our price drops, or you do find what you’re looking for cheaper elsewhere, we’ll offer our price match promise. See terms and conditions.

      We can collect your old TV and take it away for recycling. Our experts will recycle it safely and responsibly in our state-of-the-art facility.

      The cost of our Remove & Recycle service goes towards safely transporting the product to our recycling plant. Under the WEEE regulations, recycling costs are primarily covered by the product manufacturer.

      Also, while we’re picking up your appliance, if you’ve got any smaller kitchen electricals that need recycling – such as kettles, toasters or blenders – we’ll happily take those away too at no extra charge. Just pass them to your driver when we’re picking up your larger appliance.

      TVs come with quite a bit of bulky packaging. We’ll unpack your item, let you inspect it then take away all of the plastic wrap and foam packaging.
