    Frequently asked questions

    Is a QLED or LED TV better for movies and streaming?

    QLED TVs generally offer stronger brightness and more vivid colours than standard LED models, while LED TVs can provide excellent value. For movies, also compare contrast, local dimming and HDR support rather than panel type alone.

    How bright should a TV be for a living room in Germany?

    A brighter TV is preferable in rooms with windows or strong daylight, as it helps reduce reflections and preserves HDR impact. In a darker room, contrast and black-level performance may matter more than maximum brightness.

    Do I need 120Hz, VRR and HDMI 2.1 for streaming movies?

    Not for films and most streaming, which are commonly delivered at 24 or 50/60 frames per second. These features are more useful for PS5, Xbox or PC gaming, but they can make a TV more versatile.

    Which HDR formats should a streaming TV support?

    HDR10 is widely supported, while Dolby Vision can improve compatible films and series through supported streaming services. HDR10+ is also useful for services and content that use dynamic HDR metadata, so check the TV's exact format support.
