About this deal

Your entertainment has never felt more immersive. Dolby Atmos (from supported content) provides virtual surround sound, so you feel like the action is happening all around you. Together with DTS Virtual X and DTS HD, you get stunning audio.

It’s a shame, then, that Dolby Vision content in the Disney+ app suffered from some horrible juddering during our testing. Netflix was seemingly unaffected but watching content via Disney’s streaming service was blighted with hitches and jerks throughout. Once you notice it, it’s very distracting. Hopefully this is something which can be ironed out with a future software update. It is quite hard to compile a proper article without any sleep lately but still I will do my best to present you a mid-range 4k Smart TV that comes at a good price in UK - the JVC LT-50CF890. One place the JVC does trip up is in its latency. Even in its built-in Game mode, the TV displays a lag of 42ms. The result was even worse than the 33.8ms achieved by the Hisense A7100, which doesn’t have a game mode at all. Picture qualityThe JVC fared a little better than expected in our testing. In SDR mode, its default Standard picture preset puts out a maximum brightness of around 369cd/m² and achieves a very respectable contrast ratio of 5,329:1 even with all the contrast– and colour-enhancing features turned off. Fire up HDR mode, and peak brightness increases to 400cd/m² while contrast remains high at 5,358:1. It’s also important to have a good idea of your expectations in terms of quality too. You may not actually be looking for the best quality product if your main goal is to get cheap Televisions. So spend some time considering what’s important to you and think about the areas that you’d be happy to compromise or not. Those colours aren’t as intense as they should be in HDR mode, though, so don’t expect the kind of eye-popping colour which you get from pricier sets – the JVC covers a mere 70% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is far less than even many mid-range TVs. By the same metric, even LG’s affordable UM7400 managed to cover 82% of DCI-P3. The LT-50CF890 is not a bad TV at all - nice simple design (could be a bit slimmer though), good set of features, OK price. The biggest problem for this TV might be the competition from other brands.

We will not accept to exchange or fix a product if the damage was caused directly or indirectly by you. The TV comes in three sizes – 40in, 49in and 55in – and all three have support for the HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. That means you should be able to enjoy streaming HDR content from any of the main providers, with the added bonus that you’ll get the best results on any streaming service with Dolby Vision support, which currently includes Disney+ and Netflix. Dimensions: - TV with stand: 699 x 1130 x 216 mm (H x W x D) - TV: 656 x 1130 x 82 mm (H x W x D) - Boxed: 780 x 1215 x 154 mm (H x W x D) Plus, with HDR content you'll see a greater depth of colour and brilliant brightness for a more realistic viewing experience – those BBC documentaries have never looked so good. The JVC Fire TV Edition is a 4K HDR TV though, and therefore supports the HDR10 standard, as well as the dynamic Dolby Vision HDR format. However, we’ve found that cheaper sets generally struggle with premium Dolby formats – either to draw out the quality, or play the format at all – and you may not want to buy this set for that purpose.You can create individual profiles for family members, so everyone can easily find their favourites (and you get to keep yours separate from your little Peppa Pig fan). Please note that some items, such as plasma televisions due to weight restrictions and Instore items, may not be available for home delivery.

Please note: Failure to produce the card and relevant ID means we are unable to release goods on collection. At first, I tested this feature on a 1080p Blu-ray of The Martian, before moving on to a 480p and then an HD version of Arrested Development. Colours looked rather drab, which made the image less lifelike, although the upscaling overall was smoother and less noisy than that I experienced with the Hisense 50A7100FTUK. Sound quality It’s really good at this stage to spend some time just getting an idea of the sort of price you can expect to pay for your Televisions. When you’re spent a bit of time looking at the prices, consider setting yourself a budget.As with any electrical items, it’s particularly important to study the quality of a product before you buy it. This is especially important for Televisions. But when we’re buying online, what can be done to get an idea of a product’s quality? We searched for all of the Televisions that we could find at Currys. In total we found 268 different products available. Once you’re into the Fire TV interface proper, you’re faced with a familiar set of tiles offering apps, recently watched programmes and suggestions of things you might want to watch. In addition to the usual suspects, you’ll also notice tiles for the TV’s various HDMI inputs and terrestrial TV tuner. These inputs are treated just like apps or watched programmes, so if you regularly use the HDMI 4 port, for instance, then that gets pole position in your recently watched list. All your favourite Prime shows and movies are just moments away. The built-in Fire TV smart platform makes it easy to find something new with personalised recommendations, a handy navigation bar, and sneeky peak - which gives you a preview of what's on.
