    Frequently asked questions

    Which TV panel is best for everyday use in Germany: OLED, QLED or LED?

    OLED usually offers the best contrast and viewing angles, while QLED and LED models can deliver higher brightness in sunny rooms. Your room lighting, viewing distance and preference for films or live TV should guide the choice.

    Is a 120Hz TV worth buying for everyday use?

    Yes, especially for sports, fast action and console gaming. A 120Hz panel can produce smoother motion than 60Hz, while VRR helps reduce tearing during gameplay.

    Do these TVs support HDMI 2.1 and VRR for PS5 or Xbox Series X?

    The recommended premium models are aimed at modern gaming and should be checked for HDMI 2.1, 4K at 120Hz and VRR before purchase. Port specifications can vary by model and screen size.

    Which HDR formats should a TV in Germany support?

    HDR10 is widely supported, while Dolby Vision and HDR10+ can improve compatible films and streaming content. Check the TV's format support against the services and devices you use most.
