This category contains QLED, Mini LED and NanoCell TVs for homes where a brighter picture and richer colour than a standard LED set matter. Our range has over 300 models from 43 to 85 inches, almost all with a 4K screen. The main brands are Samsung, LG, Hisense and TCL.
How to choose a QLED, Mini LED or NanoCell TV
Screen size. Most models in our range are 55, 65 or 75 inches, with 43, 50 and 85-inch options as well. From a sofa about 2.5 m from the screen, 55 or 65 inches often works well in a living room, while 75 inches and above makes more sense in a larger room.
Display technology. QLED is an LCD screen with a quantum dot layer that gives richer colours. Mini LED uses many tiny backlight diodes grouped into dimming zones, which gives deeper blacks and brighter HDR, especially in a dark room. NanoCell is LG's name for LCD screens with a nanoparticle filter that makes colours purer.
Refresh rate and connections. 60 Hz is enough for films and broadcast TV, but if you game on a console or PC, look for 120 Hz or more: our range includes models with 144 and 180 Hz. Most models have 3 or 4 HDMI ports, which usually leaves room for a console, a soundbar and a set-top box. If you plan to play at 120 Hz, check which port supports it.
Operating system. Samsung TVs run Tizen, LG uses webOS, and VIDAA is common on Hisense sets. Other models come with Google TV, Titan OS or Android TV. The main streaming apps are available on many of these systems, but menus, voice control and casting from a phone differ.

Frequently asked questions about QLED, Mini LED and NanoCell TVs
What is the difference between QLED, Mini LED and NanoCell?
All three are LCD TVs, and they differ in how colour is produced and how the screen is lit. QLED uses a quantum dot layer to improve colour, Mini LED has a fine, zoned backlight for contrast, and NanoCell uses a nanoparticle filter. They can be combined in one TV: Neo QLED, for example, is QLED with a Mini LED backlight.
What size TV should I buy for a living room?
For most living rooms a 55 or 65-inch TV suits a viewing distance of about 2.5 m. If the room is large or you sit further back, a 75-inch or bigger model is a better fit. Smaller rooms and kitchens are usually served well by 43 or 50 inches.
Do I need a 120 Hz or higher refresh rate?
A 120 Hz screen matters mainly if you play on a current-generation console or a PC, because motion looks smoother. For films, series and broadcast TV, 50 or 60 Hz is perfectly adequate. Before buying, check that the HDMI port supports 120 Hz at 4K.
Is an 8K TV worth buying?
For most buyers, 8K is not necessary, because nearly all broadcast and streaming content is 4K or lower. Only a few 8K models are in our range, while most TVs here are 4K (3840 x 2160). An 8K set makes sense mainly with a very large screen and a source of suitable content.
