Your Speaker Questions Answered
As our ears receive sound via its pressure level, the SPL (sound pressure level) of a speaker is most important. For context, a normal talking level is between 60 and 70 dB, and anything above 85 dB is considered loud.
Yes. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to exchange data between your devices when they’re within close range of each other – making it suitable for use outside.

Your TV Questions Answered
OLED, QLED and MiniLED describe how a television creates its picture. Each technology offers distinct strengths, with the ideal choice depending on viewing preferences and room conditions.
OLED: Best for cinematic viewing, exceptional contrast, true blacks and dimly lit rooms. Organic Light-Emitting Diode is a display technology that houses self-lit pixels and individually controls them. This enables two pixels to simultaneously display intensely deep blacks and brilliant whites, resulting in a greater contrast and more vivid colour.
QLED: Best for bright, sunlit spaces, vivid colour reproduction and everyday viewing. Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode enhances LED technology with Quantum Dot colour, producing vibrant images and impressive brightness.
MiniLED: Best for high-brightness viewing, larger screen sizes and a balanced performance across a variety of room conditions. MiniLED screens uses thousands of tiny LEDs to provide more precise backlight control, delivering excellent brightness, contrast and colour performance.
4K is a resolution that displays 8MP images – about 8.3 million pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the higher the resolution. Although 4K is used interchangeably with Ultra High Definition, a 4K resolution offers a slightly superior image quality, because its pixel count is denser: 4096 x 2160 as opposed to 3840 x 2160.
OLED and 4K are not direct alternatives. OLED is a display technology, while 4K is a resolution.
Many premium televisions combine both, offering OLED technology with 4K resolution to deliver exceptional contrast, colour and detail. When comparing televisions, it is often more useful to compare OLED, QLED and MiniLED, while considering whether the screen offers 4K or 8K resolution.
OLED + 4K/8K: Best for home cinemas and bedrooms.
QLED + 4K: Best for bright living spaces and outdoor viewing.
MiniLED + 4K: Best for versatile, all-day viewing and larger living rooms.
OLED + 8K: Best for those seeking the most advanced picture performance available today.
