TVs 48 to 60 Inches

The joy of modern TVs is that they are much thinner than the old chunky ones. You can choose to sit your TV on a TV unit or mount it to the wall.

When making your decision, it’s advisable to:

• Check your TV unit is big enough (lengthwise and space);
• Check your wall can hold a TV (are there studs or beams you can tap into).

If you’re not sure how to mount your TV to your wall, you can take advantage of our home installation service. Here’s a quick guide to the type of wall mounts:

• Full motion will allow your TV to be pulled out from the wall and tilted to be viewed from many angles (perfect for bedrooms);
• Tilt is best for TVs that sit above your eye level so you can adjust it to avoid screen glare; 
• Fixed is when the TV won’t be moved out of its mounting position and works when you have a dedicated viewing area with a central eye level; 
• Slim will keep your mounted TV at a very low profile, so it doesn’t stand out from the wall.

Finding the right sized TV comes down to a few factors, including the size of your room, the layout of your furniture, whether you’re using a TV unit or wall mounting and the price and quality. Mid-sized TVs continue to be hugely popular (some of the best-selling), with 48” to 65” smart TVs among the best. The well-known brands of Samsung and Hisense are amongst our best-sellers. 

Once you’re set on TV size, you can start looking at all the specs you need. Let’s start with the screen technology:

• OLED (new technology that takes TV realism to the next level with the best picture quality), or 
• LED LCD (the most common type on the market).

And move on to the resolution:

• The resolution available for this particular TV size range is 4K Ultra HD allowing you to view clear images with incredible detail.

You should make sure it’s a smart TV (most are) and that it has everything you need (enough HDMI or USB inputs, the right subscriptions streaming apps, and a built-in voice assistant if you want to use nothing but your voice to control your entertainment). Check out our full range of smart TVs. 

When buying a new smart TV, many customers will also buy accessories to enhance their new purchase.

Customers often update their TV stand to get a modern, sleek-looking unit that suits their new high-quality TV. TV units are also perfect for hiding digital set top boxes, gaming consoles and other gadgets you may use. Or you may decide you want to wall-mount your TV, so you’ll need to choose the correct bracket to suit your needs.

Media players are also a high priority, with customers usually choosing Google Chromecast, Apple TV, Fetch TV or set top boxes, along with the traditional Blu-ray or DVD players.

Apple fans tend to snap up an Apple TV media player. By downloading apps from the Apple TV app store, you stream all your favourite movies, series, sports, news or music.

And, if you select a 4K Apple TV media player, you’ll be watching all your favourites in stunning 4K HDR, complete with immersive sounds from Dolby Atmos.

You may find that you can get a range of TVs to fit your space. For example, you may find a big screen 65” or even a 75" smart TV you like, then spot a smaller 48” smart TV that offers a heap more than its bigger counterpart.

It comes with knowing what you want in a TV.

For example, do you want an OLED or QLED (a type of LED LCD) screen? Would you like an Android TV or another type of smart TV? Are you watching sports or movies, or playing games? Once you know your reason for buying a big screen TV, and the size of the space you have, you’ll find you will easily find the smart TV of your dreams.

If you’re setting up a home theatre, you could opt for a super big screen TV, or you may opt for a projector set up. You’ll want to go for at least 4K or 8K screen resolution to make your movie nights a hit. The colours are stunningly vivid, and the detail is second to none. Choose the size of TV to suit your room, but it’s really the bigger, the better when it comes to a movie room!
