What are the best types of TVs?
What is an LED TV?
An LED TV (‘Light Emitting Diodes’) is another form of LCV TV that uses light-emitting diodes to provide its light source.
An LED TV is ideal because they:
- Are more energy efficient
- Provide a brighter display with better contrast
- Are much thinner than other types of flat-screen televisions
- Use less heat dissipation than a conventional LCD TV
What is a Smart TV?
A smart TV is a television set that is connected to the internet and equipped with an operating system. This allows it to run apps, stream video and music from services like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify, and sometimes even browse the web and use social media directly from the TV. Smart TVs can be controlled via remote controls, smartphones, or voice, and often come with pre-installed apps. Additionally, they can connect to other smart devices in the home for a more integrated technology experience. Essentially, a smart TV combines the functions of a traditional television with those of a computer, providing a more interactive and versatile viewing experience.
Which operating system is the best for a smart TV?
Choosing the best operating system for a smart TV depends on your personal preferences and what you prioritise in terms of usability, app availability, and integration with other devices. Here's a breakdown of the major smart TV operating systems:
- Roku TVs offer a wide range of streaming services with a straightforward, user-friendly interface. They're a great choice for those who want a no-frills experience that works right out of the box.
- Android and Google TVs are known for their integration with Google services and support a vast array of apps through the Google Play Store. Google TVs, the newer iteration, offer a more refined user interface and better content recommendations based on Google's search capabilities.
- webOS is praised for its intuitive and smooth interface, featuring a 'launcher' bar at the bottom of the screen for easy access to apps. It's particularly user-friendly and responsive, with the integration of voice control via LG's ThinQ AI.
- Tizen OS TVs are known for their fast performance and ease of use. Developed by Samsung, Tizen OS offers a sleek and minimalist interface with a wide range of apps available. It also supports Samsung's SmartThings, making it the perfect choice for those with other Samsung devices.
Your choice might depend on which ecosystem you're already invested in (like Google, LG, or Samsung) and what features you value most in a smart TV experience.
What is an OLED TV and a QLED TV?
Building on LED TV technology, OLED and QLED TVs are the next step for those wanting a premium viewing experience on their TV.
OLED stands for ‘Organic Light Emitting Diodes’. This means it uses organic compounds that emit light when initiated by an electric current. OLED TVs emit their own light, eliminating the need for a backlight in your TV. They also:
- Produce deep blacks and higher contrast on your screen by turning off individual pixels
- Improve viewing angles compared to LED TVs, and have a thinner and lighter design.
QLED stands for ‘Quantum Light Emitting Diodes’. The display technology uses quantum dots to enhance the picture quality, which means QLED TVs are known for:
- Producing more accurate and vibrant colours
- Improved brightness and contrast
- The ability to display HDR content
- Their durability and long lifespan.
What’s the difference between OLED, QLED and LED TVs?
The main difference between LED and OLED screens is how they’re lit. Televisions that use LED technology have a light shutter behind the screen that will dim or illuminate the pixels based on what’s happening on your screen. OLEDs offer deeper blacks and better image quality because of how their screens are illuminated, especially in comparison to an LED TV or a QLED TV.
QLED screens differ from LED and OLED screens in the quality of the picture they produce. If you are after a fantastic viewing experience at home, QLED TVs will give you that. They produce a wider range of colours than their counterparts and a higher brightness level. All of this culminates in a more vivid and lifelike image on your TV.
It’s important to note that when it comes down to choosing between an LED, QLED or OLED TV, ALL of them come with fantastic visual qualities that will give you an immersive viewing experience - especially if you choose a model that also features UHD 4K resolution.

This will help you balance performance, price and picture quality to find what is right for you.
What is a gaming TV?
A gaming TV is a television that is specifically designed or optimized for video gaming. These TVs often come with features that enhance the gaming experience, providing smoother visuals, faster response times, and better image quality. Here are some key characteristics of a gaming TV:
- High Refresh Rate: Gaming TVs typically have a high refresh rate (such as 120Hz or higher) to provide smoother motion and reduce motion blur during fast-paced gaming.
- Low Input Lag: Low input lag is crucial for gaming as it ensures that there is minimal delay between the player's actions and what is displayed on the screen.
- HDMI 2.1: This latest HDMI standard supports higher resolutions and refresh rates, such as 4K at 120Hz, and features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).
- HDR Support: High Dynamic Range (HDR) support enhances the colour and contrast of games, providing more vivid and lifelike visuals.
- 4K Resolution: Many gaming TVs offer 4K resolution to deliver sharp and detailed images, which is especially beneficial for the latest gaming consoles and high-end PC gaming.
- Game Mode: A dedicated game mode setting optimises the TV's performance for gaming by reducing input lag and enhancing picture quality.
By incorporating these features, gaming TVs provide an immersive and responsive gaming experience, making them an ideal choice for both casual and competitive gamers.
