What to spend on TVs in UAE

Entry level: under AED 1,300

Budget TVs are fine for everyday viewing. Check that it is 4K, that the smart system is fast, and do not expect much for gaming.

Mid range: AED 1,300 to AED 2,950

The sweet spot: a good Mini-LED or last year's OLED, with a fast panel, better contrast and good smart TV apps.

Upper range: AED 2,950 to AED 6,500

You get better OLEDs and brighter Mini-LEDs, with better processing and sound. Worth it for movies and gaming.

Premium: AED 6,500 and more

Premium TVs give the brightest, most accurate pictures at large sizes. Only go here if you have the room and watch demanding content.

The types of tv, explained

OLED TV

A TV where each pixel makes its own light, giving perfect blacks, wide viewing angles and the best picture in a dim room.

Good: Best contrast and colour in a dark room; Wide viewing angles, fast response for games; Slim and elegant. Watch for: Less bright in a sunny room; Costs more, mostly above 55 inches; Possible image retention if you show static pictures for long periods.

QLED or Mini-LED TV

A bright LED TV with a quantum dot layer, often with many small backlight zones. Very bright and colourful, with good contrast.

Good: Very bright, good in daylight; Great value for large sizes; No image retention worries. Watch for: Blacks are less deep than OLED; Viewing angles are narrower; Backlight can bloom around bright objects.

Budget LED TV

A basic LED TV at a low price. Good enough for everyday viewing, with a plainer picture.

Good: Lowest price; Fine for news, shows and kids; Easy to find in every size. Watch for: Weaker contrast and colour; Often slow smart TV software; Usually only 60 Hz, so not ideal for gaming.
