Rank #9 in Best 50 Inch 4K TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Specs Argue With Themselves
CHiQ 50-Inch 4K QLED Roku TV
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CHiQ U50QM9K is a 50-inch QLED 4K set built on the Roku TV platform, listed at £229.49 — less than the £238.98 HYE 50-inch elsewhere in this guide. It takes ninth place on a score of 4.2 out of 5.
The number to look at here is the ratings panel. The listing reports 188 ratings, but the five bars underneath it — 66 at five stars, 15 at four, 3 at three, 4 at two and 12 at one — add up to exactly 100. Two different totals, in the same block, for the same product. Otherwise this sheet is tidier than some: the refresh rate appears twice, as 60Hz and as 60, and both agree. What the sheet will not tell you is how many ports you get; HDMI 2.1 is mentioned in a bullet, but no HDMI or USB count appears anywhere in the specification. Everything on this page is taken from the CHiQ U50QM9K's Amazon listing; we have not measured the set ourselves.
How those 188 ratings break down

Questions people ask
Does the CHiQ U50QM9K have a 120Hz panel?
No. The listing gives the refresh rate as 60 Hz in the specification and as 60 in the "Display Refresh Rate in Hertz" field, so both entries say 60 Hz.
What HDR formats does the CHiQ 50-inch support?
HDR10 only. The "HDR Format Supported" field lists HDR10 and nothing else, and the picture quality enhancement field repeats QLED and HDR10.
How many HDMI ports does the CHiQ U50QM9K have?
The listing does not say. It mentions HDMI 2.1 for smooth 4K playback and USB 2.0 ports for external storage, but no port count appears in the specification.
How many ratings is the 4.2 score based on?
The listing states 188 ratings, but the five bars it shows — 12, 4, 3, 15 and 66 — add up to 100, so the two figures do not match.
What audio does the CHiQ U50QM9K have?
The specification lists 2.1 channels and integrated Dolby Audio, and the speaker description reads "Dolby Audio, Dolby+, Immersive audio".
How much does the CHiQ U50QM9K cost and what size is it?
It is listed at £229.49, weighs 9.1 kg, and measures 1111.2 x 268.6 x 696.6 mm with the stand and 1111.2 x 89.6 x 642 mm without it, on a VESA 400 x 200 mm mount.
