Frequently asked questions about TVs

• Which type of TV is best?

  As we are TV experts, I must emphasize that there is no definitive "best" TV. It depends on individual preferences and requirements. But, OLED TVs are highly regarded for their exceptional picture quality, deep blacks, and vivid colours. Making them a top choice for those seeking a premium visual experience.

• What size TV should I buy for my room?

  This question comes down to personal preference. However, there is a simple formula that will provide you with a starting point. Measure the 'viewing distance (in inches) & divide it bt 2. This will give you the recommended TV size for your room. Example: Your sofa is 330cm away from your TV. We convert 330cm into inches = 130 inches. We then divide 130/2 = 65 inches. The screen size you should be looking at buying is a 65 inch TV. This is a good time to point out we also offer finance on TVs across a wide range & sizes.

These TVs are illuminated by extremely bright LED backlights and offer 100% colour volume with excellent contrast and brightness

• What is 8K?

  8K Ultra HD is the best screen technology to date. It offers double the resolution of a 4K TV and displays incredible picture quality. There is currently very little content available for 8K TVs.
