Mini LED Tech Explained Buying Guide
What is Mini LED TV Technology?
Improved Contrast
With diodes as small as 0.2mm, you can pack more into each screen. This gives you brighter images and more precise backlight control.
The Blackest Of Blacks
The backlight tech in LED often made blacks on screen seem grey. However, Mini LEDs pack more diodes into the screen to give you true colour representation.
Wafer-Thin Panels
With LEDS that are shrunk down to size, and a new style of backlight, thinner screens are now a reality. They’re even powering the new Apple iPad range.
Stunning Power Savings
Who knew that saving money could look so good on screen? Their power consumption rates are incredibly low compared with competing tech like OLED.
Let's Talk Tech
Backlights To The Future
A mini LED TV is powered by LED backlights. These smaller LEDs provide you with greater picture precision and control.
More Zone Control
TV screens are broken up into zones, which can be brightened or dimmed independently. Mini LED TVs take this tech to the next level by adding more viewing zones.

Increasing the amount of LEDs from hundreds to tens of thousands means that no matter what angle you view the Mini LED TV from, you’ll still get a great view.

Mini LED TVs have a terrific colour range. Brighter colours, darker darks and beautiful contrasts that look natural are all within reach. Mini LED offers a feast for your eyes.
Step Your Sound Up With A Sound Bar
Thin Mini LED TVs don’t have much room for speakers. For the full home theatre experience, simply hook up a sound bar. Then you’ll be able to enjoy crisp, jaw dropping sound.

Screen burn is when an image is left on screen too long, causing the pixels to struggle to change colour. Mini LED TVs prevent this permanent defect due to their size.
