    Hi. I'm looking for a Smart TV for a friend at around 50" (the TV that is) :) . 
    The budget is up to €550, for general viewing, with easy navigation of the smart features.
    I have older Smart Samsung TV's myself, but seen negative comments on picture quality & feature reduction to cut costs on the current models.
    I think I'm leaning to recommend an LG with the Magic Remote as this should suit their usage. Therefore what model would you recommend, with the MR included?

    I never rated Philips equipment, but the 50PUS6703 has got good review on picture here & on What HiFi; but that the Smart system is flagged as not so user friendly- what comments would you have on the smart interface & this TV in general?

    Regards, Joe

    Hi Joecoie.

    Thanks for the post.

    To get the an LG that comes with the smart remote you are starting at the 49SK8100 which is coming in at £599 or 679 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203382-lg-49sk8100pla-49-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    You could go for the 50UK6750 priced at £499 or 599 Euro (The smart remote can be purchased and added to this for around £40 - £50 but it is not something we can supply and would need sourced elsewhere unfortunately - Amazon have them listed)
    https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203294-lg-50uk6750pld-50-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    The 50PUS6703 has been awarded 5 stars in What HiFi and really is great value for money but the start features are a little behind some of the others.
    Currently priced at £429 or 499 Euro
