What size TV should I buy for a 3 metre viewing distance?

At about 3 metres, a 75 to 85 inch 4K TV gives a comfortable, immersive picture. A simple rule is a viewing distance of about 1 to 1.5 times the screen diagonal.

What is the difference between OLED and QLED?

OLED pixels make their own light and can switch off completely, giving perfect blacks and wide viewing angles. QLED TVs use a backlight with a quantum dot layer, which makes them very bright and vivid, a strong choice for sunny rooms.

Do I need a 120 Hz TV?

A 100 or 120 Hz TV gives smoother motion for sport and gaming, and with HDMI 2.1 it supports the latest console features. For mainly streaming and TV shows, a standard panel is fine.

TV Buying Guide: Size, Screen Technology and Features

Choosing a TV comes down to three questions: how big, which screen technology, and which features you will actually use. This guide answers each one.

1. Choose the right size

For a 4K TV, a comfortable viewing distance is roughly 1 to 1.5 times the screen diagonal. Measure from your sofa to the wall and use this chart as a guide:

Screen size	Comfortable viewing distance
43"	About 1.1 to 1.6 m
50"	About 1.3 to 1.9 m
55"	About 1.4 to 2.1 m
65"	About 1.7 to 2.5 m
75"	About 1.9 to 2.9 m
85"	About 2.2 to 3.2 m

Shop by size: up to 50 inches, 55 to 65 inches, 75 to 86 inches and 98 inches and larger.

2. Understand the screen technologies

LED (LCD): a backlight shines through an LCD panel. The most affordable option, great for everyday viewing.
QLED: adds a quantum dot layer for brighter, more vivid colour. Shop QLED TVs.
Mini LED: uses thousands of very small LEDs in the backlight, which allows finer control of bright and dark areas. Samsung's Neo QLED TVs use Mini LED. Shop Mini LED TVs and Neo QLED TVs.
QNED: LG's range that combines quantum dot colour technology with an LED backlight, with Mini LED on many models. Shop QNED TVs.
OLED: every pixel produces its own light and can switch off completely, for perfect blacks, excellent contrast and wide viewing angles. Ideal for films and darker rooms. Shop OLED TVs.
Micro RGB: a newer backlight technology using very small red, green and blue LEDs for extremely rich colour. Shop Micro RGB TVs.

For very bright rooms, QLED and Mini LED TVs are strong choices. For a home cinema feel, OLED is hard to beat.

3. Resolution and HDR

4K (Ultra HD) is the standard for most screen sizes today and gives a sharp picture with streaming services. HDR (high dynamic range) shows brighter highlights and more detail in dark scenes. Common formats include HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision. Check which formats each model supports in its specifications.

4. Gaming and sport

If you watch a lot of sport or play on a recent console, look for a 100 or 120 Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 support, which allows smoother motion and features such as variable refresh rate.

5. Smart features

Smart TVs give you streaming apps, voice control and screen mirroring. Samsung uses Tizen, LG uses webOS and many other brands use Google TV. All give access to the major streaming services, so choose the interface you find easiest.

6. Sound and setup

Thin TVs have limited room for speakers. A soundbar makes dialogue clearer and adds depth to films and sport. If you plan to wall mount, check the VESA mounting size in the specifications. For a TV that doubles as artwork, take a look at The Frame.
