Pay attention to the size when shopping for TVs
Is it time to upgrade your TV? Euronics stores offer personal assistance in choosing the right television.
When it's time to acquire a new television, it's wise to consider what you want in advance. Do you want to invest in picture quality? Do you want a TV that fits your decor, or is it more important that the TV is as large as possible?
There's a buzz in the TV stores now as some old televisions are going dark due to Finland's transition to high-definition broadcasting. If your old television does not support HD transmissions, you won't be able to watch programs via antenna or cable in the future. Yle will cease old SD broadcasts by the end of March, and commercial channels will follow suit by the end of June.
Euronics stores provide expert service for choosing a new television. Whether it's for a cabin or a living room, our extensive TV selection has something for everyone.
Where will the television go?
When a customer comes to buy a television, Tapio Tyrylä, the trader from the Euronics store in Hämeenlinna, always wants to first clarify the customer's needs.
- We discuss with the customer, among other things, where the TV will be placed and what kind of TV they have had before, Tyrylä describes.
The sizes of televisions have increased over the years, and now a larger screen can be viewed surprisingly close. Whereas approximately 30-inch televisions were sold before, now 43-inch and larger televisions are popular. An old 32-inch television with thicker bezels was perhaps the same size in overall dimensions as a new larger television.
- In the store, you can compare different sizes and see how a viewing distance of less than two meters is sufficient for watching a 55-inch television.
A larger television does not always take up more space in a room.
- Sometimes customers express regret that a larger television won't fit on the shelf. I always ask if there's another placement option in the area. Televisions are often also wall-mounted, says Tyrylä.
Euronics stores emphasize expert service. The company employs several long-term sales staff who also know customers from previous years. The trader emphasizes that service, customer experience, and affordable prices are strengths that bring regular customers back year after year.
What is QLED or OLED?
The picture quality of the television is one of the most important purchase criteria. If you want to invest in picture quality, consider acquiring a QLED or OLED television.
Samsung's QLED televisions have clearly higher brightness and better color reproduction than traditional LCD televisions. One could say that when you purchase one, you get excellent value for your money. OLED televisions, on the other hand, have top-quality contrast and black shade reproduction, making watching space adventures a completely new experience.
- If the space has a lot of light, it's worth considering purchasing a QLED television. In a more traditional LCD television, the picture quality is also sharp, but it is not as high quality as in QLED or OLED televisions, Tyrylä explains.
Samsung's QLED TVs, the best-selling television brand in Finland, are slim in profile and look stylish whether mounted on a wall or placed on a stand. Samsung televisions also have sleek thin bezels, fitting many interior styles. Euronics traders know Samsung TVs for their quality and reliability.
- Samsung is known for its great picture quality. It is one of the best-selling TV brands. Safety is also very important, Tyrylä describes.
Almost all televisions also include smart features (smart-TV), which means the television is connected to the internet. With a smart TV, you can watch streaming services, among other things. Samsung's built-in KNOX security protects personal information and secures the television when using services that operate over a network connection.
The Tizen operating system of Samsung televisions provides users with a fast and user-friendly experience.
You don't have to be afraid of the size of the television. You can watch even a larger screen surprisingly closely.

In TV shopping, you may encounter other abbreviated terms. Which is better for example, better picture quality: 4K or HD? 4K offers better picture quality, but HD quality is also sufficient.
- Customers are also interested in hertz. Most televisions have 60 hertz, but you can also find 120 and 144 hertz options. Hertz refers to the refresh rate of the display, which affects the motion rendering and sharpness of the image, Tyrylä clarifies.
A 60-hertz television updates the image 60 times per second.
- Customers often compare picture quality between different televisions. In the store, the differences are easy to see, Tyrylä says.
Home delivery service
In Euronics stores, customers receive expert service that can assist in the purchasing decision. However, the service does not end at the time of purchase. The best customer service in the electronics retail sector, Euronics also offers additional services such as home delivery, recycling of old televisions, and installation services.
- We usually offer installation services the very next business day, so the customer can enjoy their television as soon as possible. The installation service includes tuning the television channels and setting up smart TV features, Tyrylä describes.
A big advantage is that you can take the television home right away from Euronics stores, as there are always items in stock. Some things are also easier to assess on-site, such as the sound quality of the television.
- You can also get a soundbar system for televisions, which enhances the sound experience. Today's soundbars are compact and work wirelessly, Tyrylä describes.
Euronics customer service always operates smoothly, as the phone is answered by a salesperson, not an automated system.
- The most important thing is to sell the customer the product they need.
With the Samsung Soundbar system, you experience sound more powerfully and deeply.
