Buying a new TV can be exciting - but also a little overwhelming. With so many sizes, resolutions, and technologies to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. At DID Electrical, we pride ourselves on offering one of Ireland’s best selections of TVs - from compact and affordable models perfect for the spare room, to cinematic OLEDs that transform your living space into a home theatre.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the different types of TVs available at DID.ie, explain the key features to look out for, and help you choose the right model for your needs. Plus, we’ll recommend five standout TVs from our collection, each chosen for a specific reason - whether you’re shopping on a budget, after the ultimate picture quality, or looking for the best gaming experience.

Let’s dive in!

Before you decide on screen size or resolution, it’s helpful to understand the main display technologies that define how a TV looks and performs. At DID.ie, you’ll find TVs across all major categories - LED, QLED, OLED, and even Mini-LED - each with its own strengths and best uses.

LED TVs (short for “light-emitting diode”) are by far the most common type available, and for good reason. These TVs use a LED backlight behind an LCD panel to produce bright, colourful images. They offer excellent value for money and are available in a huge range of sizes, from compact 32” models up to large 75” displays.

• More affordable than OLED or QLED models
• Great brightness for daytime viewing
• Long lifespan and low risk of image burn-in
• Energy-efficient designs

Ideal for: everyday family use, bedrooms, or anyone shopping on a budget.

If you’re upgrading from an older model or looking for a reliable TV for general use, an LED TV is a fantastic starting point. You’ll find a full range of options in our LED TV collection.

QLED (Quantum Dot LED) TVs are a step up in performance. These sets use a quantum dot layer to enhance colour and brightness, producing rich, vivid visuals that really pop - even in bright rooms.

You’ll often find QLED technology in premium models from Samsung, Hisense, and TCL. The result is a screen that excels in colour accuracy, contrast, and luminosity, while remaining more affordable than OLED alternatives.

• Stunning, realistic colour reproduction
• Excellent brightness - perfect for sunny rooms
• Long lifespan and strong build quality
• No risk of image burn-in

Ideal for: bright living rooms, sports fans, and movie lovers who want high-impact visuals.

Explore our range of QLED TVs to see how this technology can transform your viewing experience.

If you want the very best picture quality available, OLED is hard to beat. Unlike LED and QLED screens, each pixel in an OLED TV emits its own light, meaning it can turn on or off completely. This allows for perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and incredibly lifelike images.

OLED TVs are a popular choice for film enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone who wants an immersive, cinematic experience at home. Brands like LG, Sony, and Philips lead the way in OLED technology - many of which you’ll find at DID.ie.

• True black levels and perfect contrast
• Exceptional colour accuracy and viewing angles
• Slim, elegant designs
• Fast response times (great for gaming and sports)

Ideal for: movie lovers, gamers, and anyone seeking premium performance.

Mini-LED technology bridges the gap between LED and OLED. These TVs use tiny, densely packed LEDs to offer improved contrast, brightness, and local dimming precision. The result is a stunning picture that rivals OLED in depth and detail - often at a more accessible price.

• Fantastic contrast and brightness control
• Excellent HDR performance
• Ideal for both bright and dark rooms

Ideal for: viewers who want top-tier performance without the OLED price tag.

Keep an eye on our TV section for the latest Mini-LED models, as more brands continue to adopt this exciting technology.

Once you’ve chosen your preferred display type, it’s time to think about size, resolution, and features. Here’s what matters most when comparing TVs at DID.ie.

Resolution determines how sharp and detailed the image appears.

• Full HD (1080p): Great for smaller TVs or secondary rooms.
• 4K (Ultra HD): Now the standard, offering four times the detail of Full HD. Perfect for streaming, gaming, and Blu-ray.
• 8K: The latest innovation, providing exceptional detail, though content is still limited.

We recommend choosing a 4K TV for most households - it strikes the perfect balance of quality and value. Explore our 4K TV collection for a wide range of options.

TV size depends on your room layout and how far you’ll sit from the screen. A general guide:

• 32–43” TVs: Ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, or small apartments.
• 50–55” TVs: The most popular choice for living rooms.
• 65–75” TVs: Great for larger living spaces or cinematic setups.

You can shop by size directly on our website - browse by 44–50” TVs, 51–59” TVs, 60–69” TVs, and beyond.

HDR enhances contrast, brightness, and colour to make your content more realistic. Look for TVs that support HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or HLG for the best results. The higher the peak brightness (measured in nits), the better your HDR experience will be.

If you enjoy gaming or fast-paced sports, look for TVs with 120Hz refresh rates, low input lag, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. These features ensure smoother motion and a more responsive experience.

Many of our modern Samsung, LG, and Sony TVs include Game Mode settings for enhanced performance.

All modern TVs at DID.ie are “smart” - meaning they come with built-in streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and YouTube. Depending on the brand, you’ll find different operating systems, such as:

• Tizen (Samsung)
• WebOS (LG)
• Google TV / Android TV (Sony, TCL, Philips)

Don’t forget to check for features like voice assistants, Bluetooth, and HDMI 2.1 ports (for the latest gaming consoles).

While many modern TVs are incredibly thin, built-in speakers can only do so much. For a truly cinematic sound, we recommend pairing your new TV with a soundbar - and you’ll find plenty of great options in our soundbar collection.

Now that you know what to look for, here are five standout TVs available at DID.ie - each chosen for a specific reason.

If you’re looking for excellent value, the Samsung U7000F 43" 4K Smart TV is a fantastic choice. It delivers 4K resolution, vibrant colours, and smart features at an accessible price point. Samsung’s Crystal Processor 4K ensures sharp visuals, and the sleek, slim design fits beautifully in any space.

To make sure you find the right TV for your home, here are a few final considerations:

1. Measure your space - Check both the wall and TV stand dimensions to ensure a good fit.
2. Think about your lighting - Bright rooms benefit from QLED or Mini-LED, while darker rooms showcase OLED beautifully.
3. Consider how you watch - For sports and gaming, prioritise refresh rate and response time. For films, focus on contrast and colour.
4. Future-proof your setup - Look for HDMI 2.1, HDR formats, and smart connectivity for the years ahead.
5. Protect your purchase - Don’t forget to add a DID Protection Plan, so you can enjoy peace of mind with your investment.
