Let's be honest, buying a new TV is a pretty big commitment.
It's not the sort of thing you want to replace every couple of years – for most of us, it's a one-and-done purchase for the next decade.
This Hisense 50-inch A6KTUK TV has now dropped firmly into budget territory, thanks to Amazon's hefty discount.
Not too long ago, a 50-inch TV was considered massive.
These days, it's more of a middleweight, especially compared to some of the 65-inch and 75-inch beasts on the market.
But remember: bigger doesn't always mean better.
It's about finding the right size for your space – if you're not sure, check out our guide on what size TV to buy.
The A6KTUK TV isn't overflowing with premium features like OLED or QLED screen tech, but it's got everything you need in a solid smart TV.

We in the Sun Shopping team haven't tested this Hisense 50 Inch 0A6KTUK TV for ourselves.
But it's racked up nearly 1,500 five-star reviews on Amazon, with shoppers rating its reliability, sharp picture, and unbeatable value.
One reviewer raved: 'Smooth, sharp, and reliable. Got this Hisense TV for my parents as a Christmas gift, and two years later - it's still going strong.
"Shockingly smooth OS, dare I say smoother than my £1,500 OLED Samsung.'
Another wrote: 'Fantastic price compared with more well-known brands.
"Easy to set up, great picture, decent sound. I'd rate it against any of the more expensive brands.'
At just £279, the Hisense 50-inch 0A6KTUK TV is a pretty big telly at a pretty small price.
The 43-inch set is also on sale for £256 instead of £429, but honestly, it's the 50-inch model that's the real bargain.
If you've got the space for it, go for this one.

‘He's a great negotiator and diplomat': Starmer praised as UK outshines EU in Trump trade talks
As Donald Trump signed a new trade deal with the EU, many Independent readers were less focused on Brussels – and more surprised by how well the UK had done in comparison. With Keir Starmer securing lower tariffs and a visibly warmer reception from the US president, some asked: how did Britain get a better deal than the EU? Commenters were quick to praise Starmer's calm, measured style. One reader described him as a 'great negotiator and diplomat' with a 'forensic' grasp of detail, while another said Trump 'genuinely likes him' and respects that he 'stands up for himself' rather than fawning. In contrast, Europe's performance was seen as lacklustre, with the bloc 'unable to mount an effective response'. The EU-US deal itself drew criticism for being weak and symbolic, accused of rewarding Trump's coercive tactics and reframing tariffs as legitimate economic tools. Several readers lamented that the UK's apparent success would be used to claim a 'Brexit benefit' – while others were content to see the EU embarrassed. Here's what you had to say: A great negotiator and diplomat There's a lot of criticism of Starmer, and some is justified. While he might not be the greatest leader Labour we have had, there's no doubt he's a great negotiator and diplomat. What also helps him is that he has a strong sense of fairness, decency, and dignity. Then there's his obvious legal background, which you see in his forensic thoroughness when debating issues. Can you imagine Kemi Badenoch and that useless lot negotiating with Trump... he'd have a field day. DHC How do you feel about the UK's trade deal compared to Europe's? Share your thoughts in the comments and join the conversation below. Trump is half Scottish Trump is half Scottish and he seems to have a little more respect for his mother's native country. We also don't manufacture anything, and we have long given up the future capacity to be a producing nation. We are customers; Europe, on the other hand, is a competitor. 227detius A weak EU capitulating to Trump The deal has been widely criticised on the European side, viewed by some as a weak EU capitulating to Trump's demands, unable to mount an effective response. While that perception is difficult to counter, the reality is much more complex and nuanced. It's worth noting that the deal isn't a fully fleshed-out trade agreement but, for the time being, one of the many symbolic political deals Trump has announced in recent months. Yet it's not meaningless. It pauses what could have escalated into a full-scale transatlantic trade war and defuses a major source of volatility and anxiety. That said, the real challenge lies ahead – hammering out the details. Without legally binding documents, the door remains open to misinterpretation. We've seen this play out recently with the US-Japan agreement, hastily concluded a few days ago, and already sparking differing interpretations. The same could easily happen with the EU-US deal. The deal is being widely perceived as a big political win for Trump and a defeat for the EU, negatively affecting its image both domestically and worldwide. Unfortunately, this interpretation ultimately praises and legitimises an approach based on aggression and coercion, rewarding tactics that undermine trust and cooperation. Sadly, tariffs – long discredited as a blunt and damaging economic tool – are now being recast as effective policy instruments, which the EU should also wield. It's astonishing how, in only a few months, Trump has managed to frame such a confrontational strategy and unsound economic policies as a success – even with Europe. It's simply self-defeating. But whatever the "final outcome", the misery of this GileadUS administration will continue to affect the lives of billions of people! LeeisBlue I ignore all the Faragist, Corbynite vitriol Starmer really has done well in his dealings not only with Trump but also the EU and his Gaza stance. Additionally, his policies are really changing and improving our lives – e.g. the NHS is performing much better (my wife has benefitted from this). Frankly, I ignore all the Faragist, Corbynite vitriolic attacks on Starmer and co and research for myself what's ACTUALLY happening. All this Reform/Farage/Corbyn propaganda is a distraction, largely irrelevant. voxtrot UK sacrificed bioethanol sector The UK's largest trade partner, by far, in goods is the EU. Don't think EU's higher tariffs from the USA have no effect on the UK. The UK also sacrificed the bioethanol sector, and allowed US beef into the UK, to the detriment of home agriculture, to get those reduced tariffs. I know there is some desperation in some quarters to try and claim some form of #BrexitBenefit, and hope the utter disaster and failure that it is gets forgotten. wolfie Nothing to do with Starmer It's got nothing to do with Starmer. The UK got a better deal with the US than the EU despite Starmer, not because of him. The UK is an independent, sovereign nation again and no longer anchored to the failing, anti-democratic EU political union thanks to Brexit, and we're one of the US's closest allies. Our bond with the US will grow even stronger once the current shambles of a Labour government – that appears to be doing its best to suppress free speech – is booted out at the next election. Kingswood Diversifying the EU's trading partners Yes, but every trading country/bloc has the opportunity of improving their prospects by diversifying their trading portfolio. Perhaps this is what Ms von der Leyen had in mind when making a deal with Trump – i.e. to force the EU to diversify its trading partners. In the longer term, that might be the best solution. Hungubwe Trump swallowed the carrot of a state visit All to do with the vanity of Trump. The state visit was the ultimate carrot that Starmer dangled, and Trump swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. He likes the sense of self-importance which this state visit will bestow on him, and all the pomp and ceremony. Beyond this, it shows that as long as you pander to him, he's happy to tolerate most things. Charles's views on the climate and compassion for migrants would normally have him called a radical lefty by Trump, and likewise, Starmer would also get short shrift, but because they are praising Trump, he's lapping it up – for now. The only constant has been the unapologetic support for Netanyahu, and ultimately it will come to a head when the ethnic cleansing plan is put in place. At that point, the world will have to decide to confront Trump directly or capitulate under fear of tariffs, leaving NATO, etc. I fear the capitulation. Truthonly With Trump you always follow the money The UK has a trade surplus with the USA of about £2 billion. The EU's trade surplus is about £200 billion. That's the difference – it's nothing to do with love of the UK or a Scottish mother or the tactics of the UK government. With Trump, you always follow the money. He does hate the EU's society because it is so much better than the US, so he feels compelled to drag it down to his level. He also knows he can play the UK like a banjo, whereas he fears the EU. We all know he will change his mind at any minute. AnonyMousse Starmer has done well on international issues Starmer has done well on international issues. The problem is that his focus on those things has left his inexperienced underlings to preside over domestic affairs. We have to remind ourselves who they replaced though. Compared to 14 years of Tory corruption and chaos, they are paragons of efficiency. Inkling

VPN fans rushing for free £50 Amazon voucher thanks to stellar NordVPN offer
NordVPN is offering a range of deals on its VPNs for a limited time - and it includes giving away Amazon vouchers For a limited period, Brits can bag a fantastic deal on VPNs from NordVPN, which is not only useful for accessing websites whilst on holiday and streaming your favourite shows but also comes with Amazon vouchers when purchasing its two-year packages. The Plus package from Nord includes a superfast VPN, an ad and tracker blocker, and the NordPass programme, ideal for password storage. This comprehensive package will set you back £83.76, but Nord will provide a £20 Amazon voucher 30 days after purchase. Alternatively, there's the Ultimate package, priced at £129.83, which includes 1 TB of cloud storage and offers £5000 cyber insurance against scams or ID theft. A £50 Amazon voucher will be given to shoppers 30 days after purchase. Shoppers dub £950 Debenhams watch a 'true beauty' as it drops to £123 'Beautiful' £1000 Debenhams watch that comes in 4 colours drops to £108 in the sale The great thing about NordVPN is that it works with PC, Mac, iPhone, Android and many devices to help shoppers watch what they want - where they want as well as save money on flights, products and many more. There are plenty of alternatives to choose from, as well. ExpressVPN, another one of our favourites, costs slightly less for its two-year deal at £4.03 a month with four months free. However, there's no freebies included. There's also ProtonVPN which is a similar price to Nord and ExpressVPN at £3.59 a month. There have also been glowing reviews for NordVPN. One reviewer said: "I've been using Nord VPN for many years now and have always found it to be fast and efficient. Any queries I have are always answered rapidly." Another shopper added: "This VPN is among the best and also provides good protection". Our sister paper the Daily Express also put NordVPN through its paces - and it stands as one of the finest VPNs they've tested. Expert tester Aaron remarked: "NordVPN is astonishingly good. For VPN newcomers, NordVPN's gorgeous apps offer an unintimidating way to get to grips with a Virtual Private Network, while experts will be able to unlock the true power of brilliant features like Double VPN, VPN Kill Switch, and MeshNet. "Connections with NordVPN are rock-solid, with no dropouts or timeouts during the months that we've relied on this stellar VPN to keep our personal information shielded away from prying eyes, hackers, and advertisers." Nevertheless, he did observe that Nord had an impact on download speeds but nothing drastically noticeable. He continued: "Sure, NordVPN has a more substantial impact on download speeds than ExpressVPN, which we'd still recommend as the best VPN for streaming. But in normal usage, NordVPN still offers a good internet speed - even when connected to a server location on the other side of the planet."

Shoppers snap up Blink outdoor camera that's 'easy to set up' and now 54% off
Amazon has cut the price of refurbished outdoor cameras for a limited time For Brits who are planning to go on holiday soon and want some extra eyes on the home while they're away, we've found a brilliant deal on a outdoor camera. The Blink Outdoor camera is currently 54 per cent off for a refurbished model with a price that's not to be sniffed at. It's currently £63.39 - down from the usual new price of £138.99. This handy-dandy camera will keep an eye on parts of the home while asleep or away from home. It comes with motion detection alerts that get sent to the phone, with the option to customise motion zones in the Blink Home Monitor app. Sky Sports' football plan is 66p a day ahead of Premier League and EFL season The new ghd curling range provides 'all-day hold' and leaves hair 'shiny and smooth' Brits can also see, hear and speak to visitors with Live View in real time and two-way audio features on the Blink Home Monitor app. It is also built against the elements, so it won't break—rain or shine—and claims to have long-lasting battery life, running for up to two years on two AA lithium batteries, which are included in the box. It also works with Alexa and is super easy to set up without needing to worry about annoying wires going around the home. There are plenty of alternatives for those looking for something to keep an eye on the house. For those looking for a more portable option as well as a doorbell, the Ring video doorbell is available. It's currently priced at £49.99 on Amazon. Meanwhile, the Google Nest Video Doorbell retails for £179.99 on Argos. There have also been glowing reviews of the device, with many calling it "great". One reviewer said: "I bought these to add onto an existing Blink system as I had a couple of uncovered areas. They are well-made and very easy to set up. !I had no trouble integrating them into an existing setup - although, if you have a legacy system with no regular monthly payment plan, it will try to set up a subscription for you. "You can simply ignore it, and the reminders will go away after a month, although you still get an annoying banner at the top of the app. Generally, they are pretty good - you can set the sensitivity, exclude certain areas from the trigger zone, on quite a fine granular level. "You can set active times and activate/deactivate the system on your mobile device. Live view is quite useful, and you can speak through the camera from your mobile device too." However, one thing to note is that the device does come with a subscription, and people have been noting how expensive it is. One reviewer added: "The Blink Outdoor camera is actually brilliant. "The quality of the picture is superb, and the resolution is not even set on maximum to save battery life. It has good motion detection, and the subscription in my view, is a tiny bit expensive". Blink's subscription price is set at £8 a month, and it's possible to link multiple devices in one plan.
