Overview
A fifty-inch screen gives the TCL 50P6K more presence than the 43P6K while keeping the same budget-minded 4K HVA and Direct LED television formula. The 49.5-inch Google TV lists 260 cd/m² brightness, 3000:1 contrast and 10-bit colour through FRC. HDR10 and HLG playback are included, although the modest brightness and lack of published local dimming limit HDR impact. AiPQ processing, Chromecast and Google Assistant cover streaming and voice control. Connectivity matches the smaller sibling with three HDMI 2.0 ports, eARC, ALLM, two USB connections and optical output. Refresh remains 50/60 Hz with no listed VRR. Buy it if you want a sensibly sized 4K Google TV with a complete everyday port set; skip it if Dolby Vision, high brightness or 120 Hz gaming is on your checklist.
Key Highlights
- 3840 x 2160 (4K) on the 49.5-inch HVA panel gives 50P6K its core viewing specification
- 260 cd/m² typical brightness and 3000 : 1 contrast define the 50P6K picture baseline
- 50 Hz / 60 Hz with ALLM suits ordinary console play, but 50P6K has no published VRR mode
- Google TV with the AiPQ handles streaming, upscaling and smart-TV functions for 50P6K.
- It matches the 43P6K at 260 cd/m² and 3000:1, adding screen size rather than picture hardware.

HDR & Brightness Reality
50P6K supports HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) on a Direct LED HVA panel. Typical brightness is 260 cd/m² and listed contrast is 3000 : 1, but peak brightness and local dimming are not published. That combination is suitable for basic HDR signal handling rather than forceful highlights. The 49.5-inch model spends more of its specification on 4K scale, Google TV and everyday contrast than premium HDR hardware.
