Making the choice
Size the screen to the room
Measure from where you sit to where the screen will be. For a 4K set, a diagonal of roughly two-thirds of that distance is comfortable: about 55 inches at 2 metres, rising to 75 inches at 3 metres. OLED gives the inkiest blacks for darker rooms, while Mini LED is brighter for sunny ones. Our TVs page goes through every panel type.
What soundbar numbers mean
The figures count the speaker channels inside: main channels come first, then any subwoofer, then upward-firing speakers. So 2.0 is plain stereo, 3.1 adds a centre for clearer speech and a sub for bass, and 5.1.2 brings in surround and height.
Is Dolby Atmos worth it?
Atmos adds a sense of height, so a helicopter seems to pass overhead. Many soundbars do it by bouncing sound off the ceiling, which works best with a flat ceiling of normal height. The big streaming services offer plenty of films and series in Atmos.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
Wi-Fi speakers stream at better quality, often support AirPlay and Chromecast, and can be grouped across the house. Bluetooth is the simple option: pair your phone and press play. Most portable speakers use it.
Built-in speakers
Ceiling and wall speakers sit flush behind a grille you can paint. Kitchens, bathrooms and dedicated cinema rooms suit them well, and weatherproof versions carry music out to the patio. Because they're passive, they need an amplifier or AV receiver.
Before you order
- Measure the unit and the way in. Make sure the TV's feet sit on your furniture, and that a big boxed set can be carried through your hall and up to the room.
- Check the sockets. HDMI eARC sends Dolby Atmos from TV to soundbar; current games consoles want HDMI 2.1 on the TV.
- Plan power and signal. Each wireless speaker still needs a mains socket, streaming needs good Wi-Fi, and live TV needs an aerial or broadband.
- Wall mounting. Check the TV's VESA size and that the wall can carry its weight.
- Built-in speakers are best installed by an electrician or installer, ideally before plastering or decorating.

TV & Audio: your questions answered
How big a TV should I get?
Take the distance from sofa to screen and multiply by two-thirds; for 4K that gives a comfortable diagonal. In practice that's roughly 55 inches at 2 metres, 65 at 2.5 metres and 75 at 3 metres.
Do I really need a soundbar?
Not always. But a thin TV leaves its makers little space for speakers, and a soundbar fixes that with clearer voices and fuller sound, usually over one HDMI cable.
What does 5.1.2 mean on a soundbar?
It counts the speakers: five main channels, one subwoofer and two upward-firing height channels for Dolby Atmos.
What is HDMI eARC?
A TV socket that passes sound back to a soundbar or receiver, Dolby Atmos included. With it, the TV remote normally controls the volume.
Can wireless speakers play my TV's sound?
Yes, as long as the speakers offer an optical or HDMI ARC input that matches a socket on your TV. The product page lists the connections.
Do ceiling speakers need an amplifier?
Yes. Ceiling and wall speakers are passive, so an amplifier or AV receiver has to drive them.
Do I need a TV licence?
Yes, if you watch or record programmes as they're broadcast, on any channel, or use BBC iPlayer. That applies in the UK whatever TV you own.
