How to choose
Panel: OLED vs QLED
OLED gives perfect blacks and the best contrast for film in darker rooms; QLED and Mini-LED get much brighter, which suits bright living rooms and HDR gaming.
Size & resolution
For a ~2.5 m viewing distance, 55–65" is the sweet spot. 4K is standard; 8K is niche. Bigger benefits from 4K content and a capable processor.
Gaming & smart platform
For console gaming look for 120 Hz, HDMI 2.1 and low input lag. Check the smart platform (Google TV, Tizen, webOS) has the apps you use.
How much to spend
Good 4K TVs start around €350. €600–€1,200 buys larger QLED/Mini-LED or mid OLED; flagship OLED and 85"+ sets go above €1,500.
