12 best 55 inch TVs

Once, even the tiniest flat-screen TV seemed like an incredible luxury. However, times are changing, and technology is rapidly evolving, offering users plenty of opportunities to simplify life or just entertainment. In an effort to surprise everyone with innovation and scope, manufacturers are trying not only to improve the TV stuffing, their multimedia capabilities, format support, speed and many other important aspects, but also the screen diagonal. Thanks to this trend and the true technology racing today, anyone can create a personal cinema right at home, because the biggest TVs can stretch almost the entire wall.

Most of this scale, of course, will not work because of the limited footage of housing. However, a wide selection of TVs of the most diverse diagonal makes it easy to find a moderately large screen. According to many experts, the best solution in this case will be a 55-inch diagonal. Televisions of this type are many times more functional than miniature analogs, produce a large enough image so that the viewer is completely immersed in the atmosphere of a movie or a game, they are distinguished by high resolution, but at the same time they easily fit into a standard and not even too large room. For comfortable viewing, it is recommended to keep a distance of just a couple of meters, which means that a 55-inch TV can be placed in almost any room.

In some of the best models with such a diagonal, not only basic functions and Smart TV are implemented, but also 4K UHD resolution, as well as a variety of interfaces and additional functions that compact devices are often devoid of. Due to the ability to play movies on the big screen and the overall versatility, 55-inch TVs are very popular, so many well-known brands are involved in their development.
