Somewhere between a projector and a small-screen TV we find what is fast becoming something of a TV sweetspot - 48, 49 and 50in TVs.
No longer as intimidating a presence in your front room due to sleek designs and wafer-thin bezels, these are our picks of the best big-screen TVs, including Full HD and 4K models.
Finlux 48UXE304B-P
A good budget 4K TV complete with iPlayer, Netflix and impressive handling of fast motion. No HDR video support, thought.
Samsung UE48J6300
If you want to make the jump to 4K - with Ultra HD Blu-ray now a reality, you might want to think about it - then this 48in Samsung TV will serve you well. It was our Product of the Year in 2015 and you can still just about find it on sale online.
Philips 49PUS6401
Ambilight, 4K and HDR make this an impressive TV straight out of the box, and colourful, detailed pictures seal the deal. There was no HDR support for Netflix when we tested it but this will hopefully come with a software update. And it's a steal at £499 via Argos.
Samsung UE49KS8000
Spend a bit of time getting the set-up right, and you'll be rewarded with a 4K gem that excels at any resolution.
Sony KD-49XE9005

Samsung UE49KS8000
Panasonic TX-50DX700B
This Panasonic 50-inch TV supports 4K video, HDR via Netflix and Ultra HD Blu-ray (but not Amazon, yet), and has Freeview Play. And a clever adjustable stand.
