Televisions

Viewing distance determines the right TV size

The right size depends on the viewing distance and the resolution. For a 4K TV a distance of about 1.2 times the screen diagonal is enough, and for a Full HD TV about 1.6 times, because you can sit closer to a sharper picture. For example, you would watch a 55-inch 4K TV from about 1.7 metres and a 75-inch one from about 2.3 metres. Models of 32 to 50 inches usually suit smaller rooms, and TVs over 60 inches suit spacious living rooms. Also check that the unit is wide and deep enough for the TV's stand. For wall mounting you need a bracket that suits the TV's VESA mounting size and weight. You will find the formula and examples in our TV buying guide.

The panel technology decides how the picture performs in different lighting. In an OLED TV each pixel produces its own light and can switch off completely, so black is truly black, which stands out in a dim room. QLED and Mini LED TVs use an LED backlight that usually reaches higher brightness and suits a bright living room. In Mini LED the backlight is divided into thousands of small LEDs that are dimmed zone by zone. In Samsung's Micro RGB and Sony's True RGB models the backlight is made of separate red, green and blue LEDs.

TV channels are now broadcast in HD only: Yle's SD broadcasts ended on 31 March 2025 and the commercial channels' on 30 June 2025. For channels on the terrestrial network you need a DVB-T2 tuner, and for the cable network a DVB-C tuner. A Full HD or HD Ready label applies to the screen and says nothing about the tuner. You can read more on our page about the HD transition.

The energy classes of the TVs in our range are C to G, most often E or F. You can see the energy class and consumption in the product details, and with the same technology a large screen uses more than a small one.

The range includes televisions from Samsung, Sony, TCL, Luxor, LG and Philips. For better sound see soundbar speakers, and for wall mounting see brackets and stands.
