    Frequently asked questions

    Is Mini LED or OLED better for a bright living room?

    Mini LED models can reach high brightness and are often a practical choice for daylight viewing. OLED offers excellent contrast, but its performance in a bright room depends on the model and how much light falls on the screen.

    How bright should a TV be for a sunlit room?

    Look for strong peak brightness and effective reflection handling, especially if the screen faces windows. Peak brightness helps HDR highlights stand out, while a bright picture can remain easier to see during daytime viewing.

    Do 120Hz, VRR and HDMI 2.1 matter for gaming on these TVs?

    They can improve gaming with smoother motion, reduced screen tearing and support for compatible consoles or PCs. Check the specifications for the refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 features on the inputs you plan to use.

    Which HDR formats and smart TV platforms should I check in the Netherlands?

    Check support for HDR10 and, where relevant, Dolby Vision or HDR10+ because streaming services and devices vary in format support. Also confirm that the smart platform offers the apps and services you use in the Netherlands.
