TL;DR

Start with room size and viewing habits, then choose display technology. OLED is compelling for deep blacks and cinematic viewing; QLED and Mini LED can suit brighter rooms; gamers should pay attention to 120Hz, HDMI 2.1, VRR and ALLM on compatible models.

01 · SCREEN SIZE

Start with screen size — not the brand

Screen size usually creates the biggest visible difference. Consider viewing distance, wall space and how immersive you want movies, sports and games to feel.

02 · DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY

LED, QLED, Mini LED or OLED?

OLED can deliver excellent black levels because individual pixels emit their own light. QLED uses quantum-dot-enhanced LCD technology, while Mini LED uses much smaller backlight LEDs for more precise dimming than conventional LED TVs.

07 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is OLED better than QLED?

OLED is known for pixel-level blacks and contrast, while many QLED models prioritise brightness. Room conditions and use should decide.

Do I need a 120Hz TV?

It is especially useful for compatible gaming and can help motion, but it is not essential for every viewer.

Is 4K enough?

For most mainstream TV sizes and content, 4K remains the practical target.
