This model is involved in rating of the best Full HD TVs.
Screen
High-quality LED display with a diagonal of 50 inches, an aspect ratio of 16: 9. Considering the price, 4K or even HDR is out of the question. Video playback - Full HD, refresh rate - 50 Hz. The viewing angle is 1760. For simple viewing of terrestrial or digital TV, you usually no longer need to, you can also play with undemanding toys. At Polarline 50PU11TC-SM video playback in 4K resolution is claimed, but in fact there are difficulties with this: constant system freezes, image flickering.
Appearance
Simple, neat, with a thin border. The corners are slightly softened. Some users complain about low-quality body material, but still BBK is almost half the price of competitors with similar characteristics.
The set includes metal legs. Can be mounted on a stand (sold separately) or on a VESA arm 200 × 200 mm.
Connectors
In addition to the antenna, there are the following connectors: HDMI - 3 pcs., USB - 2 pcs., Component and AV inputs, Ethernet (RJ-45), headphone jack (3.5 mm). To give an excellent score, the CI slot is clearly lacking, making it easy to access encrypted channels. At Polarline 50PU11TC-SM he is.
Sound
Decent for a budget TV: Built-in 2 x 8W speakers. This will be enough for a not very demanding user, but there is no effect of presence when watching your favorite content. The sound is flat, there is practically no bass. But the competitor, according to user reviews, has even more complaints about its acoustics.

But it reads and opens files of any format and size from USB drives without any problems, except for video in HDR, 4K resolutions. The built-in browser provides a fairly comfortable surfing experience. If the internal capabilities of the program are not enough, you can install third-party applications.
