Choose the Right TV for Your Home

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.

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.

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.

4K, refresh rate, HDMI and smart platform

For most mainstream and premium purchases, 4K is the practical resolution target. Gamers should check 120Hz support, HDMI 2.1, VRR and ALLM on the exact model. Also confirm app support, eARC/ARC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and enough HDMI ports.

Prioritise contrast, black levels and picture processing.

Before you buy: TV details that are easy to miss

Compare the exact model specification before making a decision. Features such as refresh rate, HDR formats, HDMI capabilities and smart-app support can vary between models within the same range.

BEA Expert Tip

Measure the TV unit or wall space, check the viewing distance, and confirm the stand dimensions and available ports before ordering. A screen that fits diagonally may still not fit the space with its stand.

Picture quality

Compare resolution, HDR support, brightness and picture processing on the exact model.

Gaming and motion

Verify native refresh rate, HDMI 2.1, VRR and ALLM where these features matter to you.

Connections and apps

Check HDMI ports, eARC/ARC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and support for your preferred streaming apps.

08 · 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.
