Rank #6 in Best 50 Inch 4K TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Specs Argue With Themselves
LG 50QNED80A6A 50-Inch 4K QNED Smart TV
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LG 50QNED80A6A is the number six entry in this guide: a 50-inch 4K QNED set at £349.00, with an LED backlight, local dimming, the webOS smart platform, Filmmaker Mode and the α7 AI processor. Its 116 Amazon ratings average 4.0 out of 5, and 59 of those 116 are five stars — but 12 are one star, which is a spread worth noticing at this price.
Two fields on this listing do not agree with each other. The Number of Audio Channels reads 9.1.2, while the speaker description and the integrated surround sound format both call it "Virtual 9.1.2 Up-mix" — a virtual up-mix is not the same thing as nine speakers and a subwoofer. Annual Energy Consumption is given as "83.4 Watts", and watts measure power draw, not a year's worth of energy. The refresh rate is the exception: the product name and both refresh-rate fields all say 60Hz, which is the one number here that holds together. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing of our own.
How those 116 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.0 stars.
