Screen Size: Finding Your Perfect Match

The right screen size depends on your room’s dimensions and viewing distance. As a starting point:

  • For smaller rooms or bedrooms, 32-43 inch TVs like the Loewe WeSEE (32″) or Sony X75 (43″) provide excellent viewing experiences
  • For most living rooms, 55-inch models like the Panasonic Z95 OLED offer an immersive experience without overwhelming the space
  • If you’re uncertain, we can visit your home in Bath or the surrounding areas to recommend the perfect size for your space

Understanding TV Technologies in 2025

OLED vs LED: Making the Right Choice

OLED technology, found in models like the Panasonic Z95 and Z90, delivers exceptional black levels and contrast. The 42″ Z90 (£1,299) has become particularly popular among our customers seeking premium picture quality in a more compact size.

LED TVs, like the Sony X75 (£499), offer excellent value and perform well in bright rooms. We’ve found these particularly suitable for kitchens and sunlit living rooms.

Lifestyle TVs: Beyond Traditional Design

If aesthetics matter, consider options like the Samsung Frame (£999). It transforms into artwork when not in use – particularly appreciated by our clients in Bath’s period properties. LG’s Objet Collection takes this further, offering customisable designs to match your décor.

Installation Considerations

Living in a World Heritage city presents unique installation challenges. Our experienced team regularly works with listed buildings in Bath, ensuring TVs are mounted securely while preserving architectural features. We handle everything from initial planning to cable concealment and final setup.

Key Features to Consider

Based on our experience installing hundreds of TVs annually:

  • Gaming features: Essential if you own next-gen consoles
  • Sound quality: Consider built-in audio versus separate systems
  • Processing power: Crucial for smooth motion in sports and films
  • Smart platform: Some are more intuitive than others
