    Frequently asked questions

    Is OLED or QLED better for everyday TV use in Germany?

    OLED delivers deeper blacks and stronger contrast, making it excellent for films and evening viewing. QLED and Mini LED models can reach higher brightness, which is useful in bright German living rooms and for daytime television.

    Do TVs under €1,250 support 120Hz and HDMI 2.1?

    Many higher-end models in this price range offer 120Hz panels and HDMI 2.1, especially OLED and premium Mini LED TVs. Check the number of HDMI 2.1 ports and whether features such as VRR are supported on the inputs you plan to use.

    What peak brightness should an everyday TV have?

    For a normally lit room, a TV with solid HDR brightness is usually sufficient. If the screen faces windows or is used mainly during the day, a brighter QLED or Mini LED model may be easier to see than an OLED.

    Which HDR formats should a TV in Germany support?

    HDR10 is widely supported, while Dolby Vision can improve compatible films and series through streaming services. HDR10+ is also useful for services and content that use the format, so broader HDR support gives you more flexibility.
