Physically identical to the original Wyse 50, the 50+ is an interim product which was only marketed and sold for seven months, while Wyse was bringing the WY-60 to market. In September 1985, the Wyse 50+ was introduced alongside the Wyse 50. The Wyse 50/Wyse 100 native emulation is a direct copy of Lear Siegler ADM-31, so the Wyse 50 was marketed as a plug-compatible replacement for the ADM-31, but offers more features and crisper screen display at a substantially lower price. Both models use the same native commands, so the Wyse 50 is a plug-compatible replacement for the Wyse 100.

The Wyse 50 is an improved version of Wyse's first terminal, the WY-100. The Wyse 50's popularity largely stemmed from its combination of an ultra-low price (half the price of the competition at the time of introduction), and its rich assortment of features which outpaced other budget terminals. Introduced in October 1983 at a price of $695, it became Wyse's best selling terminal model until the introduction of the WY-60 (which was the best-selling ASCII terminal of all time from any manufacturer, outselling all of DEC's VT models combined.) The Wyse WY-50 (commonly referred to as the Wyse 50) is an ASCII terminal that was designed and manufactured by Wyse Technology.
