Just 7.7 cm thin without stand, so it hangs flat against the wall. The Salora FOD50UV is a 50 inch 4K smart TV with a 127 cm screen diagonal, a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and a weight of 9.1 kg. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both built in, and you don't need to worry about a heavy-duty bracket.

Picture

4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) on a Direct-LED panel, 60 Hz, with HDR10. Brightness 250 cd/m², contrast 5000:1 and a viewing angle of 178 degrees. The bezel around the screen is minimal. With a 6.5 ms response time, fast motion stays sharp. HbbTV is supported, so the broadcasters' red button services work.

Apps and controls

The TV runs on VIDAA. This system starts up quickly and works without an account. Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and NPO Start come preinstalled, with direct buttons on the remote control. You can get more apps from the VIDAA app store. Via Bluetooth you pair wireless headphones or a soundbar.

Tuners and connections

DVB-C for cable, DVB-T2 for terrestrial and DVB-S2 for satellite are all three built in. Your provider's smartcard goes in the CI+ 1.3 slot. You also get 3x HDMI 2.0 with ARC and HDCP, 2x USB 2.0, Ethernet, an optical digital audio output and a headphone output. Recording to a USB stick is possible, and teletext, EPG and hotel mode are included.

Mounting and placement

Without stand, the TV is 112.3 cm wide, 64.5 cm high and 7.7 cm deep, at 9.1 kg. With the stand fitted, that becomes 112.3 cm wide and 68.0 cm high, with a depth of 19.1 cm on your furniture and a weight of 9.32 kg. The VESA pattern is 100 x 100 mm, so choose a bracket that supports 100 x 100 mm. The packaging measures 120.2 x 72.9 x 12.0 cm and weighs 12.5 kg.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be wall-mounted?
Yes. The VESA pattern is 100 x 100 mm and the TV weighs 9.1 kg without stand. Choose a bracket that supports 100 x 100 mm.

Do I need a satellite receiver?
No. The DVB-S2-compatible tuner is built in, so you connect the satellite cable directly to the TV.

Can I connect a soundbar or headphones?
Yes. Wirelessly via Bluetooth, or with a cable via HDMI ARC, the optical output or the headphone output.

How do I get the picture from my phone onto the TV?
With an HDMI cable, or open the app directly on the TV. Sound can also go wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Can I use it for gaming?
Yes. With HDMI 2.0 and a 6.5 ms response time, a PS5 or Xbox Series X plays in 4K. The panel runs at 60 Hz.

What is included?
The stand, the remote control, 2x AAA batteries, the cables and the user manual.

What is the recommended viewing distance?
Allow 1.5 to 2.5 metres. With 4K Ultra HD you can sit close without seeing the pixel structure: 1.2 to 2.0 times the screen diagonal of 127.0 cm. That lower limit is the THX guideline for a 40-degree viewing angle; the SMPTE guideline of 30 degrees works out at about 1.6 times the diagonal, right in the middle of that range.
