What is a Mini LED TV?
A Mini LED TV is a type of LED TV that uses smaller LEDs for the backlight, which helps improve brightness and contrast.
This allows:
- Better control over light and dark areas
- Higher brightness compared to standard LED TVs
- More detail in shadows and highlights
Compared to regular LED TVs, Mini LED models usually have more local dimming zones, which improves picture quality.
How to Choose
When comparing Mini LED TVs, consider:
- Screen size – based on room size and viewing distance
- Brightness – useful in rooms with a lot of natural light
- Number of dimming zones – more zones usually mean better contrast
- Smart TV platform – Google TV (TCL & Sony), Tizen OS (featured in Samsung Neo QLED Mini-LED TVs), VIDAA U (Hisense) or webOS (used by LG QNED TVs)
Most Mini LED TVs come with:
- 4K Ultra HD resolution
- HDR support (HDR10, Dolby Vision)
- High brightness, contrast and colour levels for well-lit rooms
- Permanent image burn-in immunity
- Advanced AI upscaling
- 144Hz – 165 Hz refresh rate

- Fast-paced console and PC gaming
For gaming TVs, look for:
- 4K resolution at 120Hz, or 144Hz (for PC games)

- AMD FreeSync, Nvidia G-Sync or HDMI Forum VRR
