Television specifications and product pages use a dense mix of abbreviations, technology names and marketing terms, from contrast ratio and peak brightness to VRR, ALLM and eARC. This glossary collects that vocabulary from A to Z in one place, with a short, plain explanation for each term.
Use it whenever you come across an unfamiliar word on this site or on a product listing elsewhere. Each entry links back to the overview page or guide where the term is discussed in more practical depth, so the glossary works both as a quick lookup while you are comparing televisions and as a starting point for exploring a topic further, such as moving from a short definition of HDR straight into our full HDR guide.
