Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles casual console play at 4K 60Hz. It has no 120Hz mode or VRR, so fast competitive games will show more blur and tearing.

Yes, it accepts HDR content. The edge-lit panel has limited brightness, so HDR highlights are modest rather than dramatic.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI inputs, all limited to 4K at 60Hz. That is enough for a console, a streaming box and a soundbar.

Do I need a soundbar?

Most owners add one. The built-in speakers are fine for news but thin for movies and music.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes, it uses a standard VESA mount. The included basic feet are only for tabletop use.

What is Samsung TV Plus?

A free ad-supported streaming service built into the TV with live channels and on-demand shows. No subscription is needed.

Our take on the Samsung 4K Crystal UHD Smart TV 50-inch

The Samsung Crystal UHD is a 50-inch 4K LED smart TV with HDR, a 60Hz panel and Samsung's Tizen smart platform. It covers the basics well: three HDMI ports, Wi-Fi 5, Ethernet and Samsung TV Plus free channels. It suits buyers who want a big-screen 4K set for a living room or bedroom without paying for mini-LED or OLED. Against rivals at this tier, it lacks 120Hz gaming support and full-array local dimming, so contrast and motion trail behind step-up models.
