The Philips 50PUS8500/12 gives you the chance to buy a 50-inch 4K TV for around £400 – that’s an enticing prospect. Even at that price, however, it still needs to have a sharp, vivid screen, absorbing audio and easy-to-use menus to make it worth buying. We put all those aspects and more to the test and you can discover what we found in our in-depth review of this television.
