Conclusion

The Sony XE9005 is one of the best TVs that can be bought in value for money and ranks as the best in 49 inches available in stores. The LG is the only IPS and also the cheapest, good choice if you are not going to watch the TV in the dark or you will see the TV from the sides. Panasonic is the most complete, the only one that includes 3D. We do not recommend buying the Samsung MU8005 in general.
