nA true luxury item just a couple of years ago, that a 48-inch TV from a top global brand is going for under £599 is almost unbelievable.OK, so Samsung has been the market leader and chief price-cutter for a good decade, but the UE48H6500's pricing remains jaw-dropping. That's until you spy the Philips 48PFT5509, an identically-sized Full HD LED TV that manages to cost just £350 in the UK.It all suggests that the sweet-spot for TV production has moved from 40-inch to 48-inch ? and that's great news for anyone after a serious upgrade for their living room. While the Philips might lacks a few smart TV niceties, this Samsung is an altogether more serious proposition. DesignYou like glossy black plastic? That's what you get if you want a 48-incher for this small a spend, though it would be hugely unfair to call the UE48H6500 cheaply-made or ugly. It's really not. While it's about 63.5mm deep ? so hardly super-slim ? the all-important bezel around the screen measures 4mm on the top and sides (though it does have another 5mm of black screen before the image begins), and 20mm on the bottom.The silver, glinting spider-style desktop stand helps the UE48H6500 have a pretty minimal footprint. It's sturdy enough on an AV stand, and that spider-stand allows for the TV to be re-positioned slightly, which is increasingly rare on flatscreen TVs.
