Get ready for kick off!
This year’s tournament is nearly here, but there’s still time to make sure your home’s match‑ready. The right TV for your space plus essential tech can make the international summer of football come alive. Catch every crunching tackle in sharp detail and feel the roar of the crowd when a goal goes in.
We’ve pulled together some expert advice on how to pick the best TV, fine‑tune your settings and getting stadium sound at home.
RGB TVs are here!
RGB LED TVs are a new generation of LED TVs first shown at CES 2025 and now rolling out from big brands including Hisense, Samsung, LG and TCL.
What makes them different?
Most LED TVs use a white or blue backlight, then filter it to create colour. RGB TVs use red, green and blue LEDs in the backlight itself, creating purer colours before the light even reaches the screen.
You’ll see the tech called RGB Mini LED or Micro RGB depending on the brand, but the idea is the same.
Why it matters
Richer, more realistic colours than traditional LED TVs
Higher brightness without using more power
Better contrast and black levels than standard LED TVs - with fewer “grey halos” around bright objects

For a stadium atmosphere in your front room, go for:

What’s your perfect TV screen size?
Small TVs
24” - 38"
If you want to put an extra TV in your bedroom or kitchen, a smaller TV might be all you need. They’re perfect for winding down with a sitcom before bed, or having the news on in the background while making dinner.
Medium TVs
39” - 54"
These are the most common TV sizes for small-to-medium sized living rooms. And as they’re not too big, they’re a little easier to wall mount.
Large TVs
55” - 79”
If you’ve got a big lounge and want to immerse yourself in blockbuster films and sports, a larger TV is the way to go.
Shop 55” - 64” TVs
Huge TVs
80” and over
If you really want to go all out, a television over 80” is pretty epic. For massive movie nights, it’s hard to beat!
Shop 80”-84” TVs
Types of TV screens explained - what’s the best screen resolution for your TV?
The more pixels your TV has, the higher the resolution — which means more picture quality, depth and detail. Full HD TVs have 1920 pixels, while 8K TVs have about 33 million pixels!
Full HD
Most small TVs under 43” are Full HD (1080p). That’s all they need to deliver a really crisp and detailed picture.
Shop Full HD TVs
4K
4K TVs give you about 8 million pixels – that’s four times the resolution of Full HD - for a picture that’s crystal-clear and vivid. If you’re thinking getting a TV larger than 43”, it’s best to go 4K.
Shop 4K TVs
8K
If you want to futureproof your tech, 8K TV is the highest resolution currently available. That’s four times the number of pixels as 4K TVs have, for the sharpest detail around. It’s an eye-popping option for the largest TVs.

What other TV features should I look for?
Smart TV features
Smart TVs give you a huge choice of catch-up and on-demand streaming services, while cutting out the need for set top boxes or dongles. Cast videos from your phone to the TV screen or find what you want with a voice assistant like Bixby, Alexa and Google.
HDMI and connections
Before you buy a TV, it's always worth checking if it’ll be compatible with other tech like soundbars, Blu-Ray players, or gaming consoles. Gamers especially might want an HDMI 2.1 port, which supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and more.
Refresh rate
Measured in Hz or fps, the refresh rate is how many times your TV refreshes the image on-screen in a second. A low refresh rate like 60 Hz is great for regular shows. But if you're a gamer or sports fan, then a high refresh rate (above 120 Hz) will give you a smoother picture.
Dimming tech
Some LED TVs come with local dimming, where areas of pixels are turned off for deeper blacks and brighter whites. This stops light from bleeding through the screen, which can be a major distraction. The 3 main types to look for are edge-lit, back- lit and full array. Read our article for more info:
Wall mounting
If your old TV was wall mounted, you might want to use the same TV brackets. If so, you’ll need to check whether your old TV had a VESA wall mount size, and then make sure your new TV unit matches it. We’ve written a wall mounting guide to help out:
Serious about sound
Think about whether you’d like a TV with enhanced sound (like Dolby Atmos), or if you’d prefer to invest in a separate sound system. All TVs have their own built-in speakers, but you might want something a bit more punchy.

Tuners
Like watching live TV? A tuner is what lets your TV receive signals, so you can watch TV without being connected to the internet. Just like the good old days! Not all TVs have them anymore, so make sure you get a TV with a tuner if you want access to Freeview or Freesat channels.
AI TV - what features can I expect?
Modern TVs are as much computer as display and they’re using AI to do everything better. Neural networks upscale content and balance shadows on the spot. Faster processors optimise everything from sound to motion. And that’s just the start!
Subtitling
Mumbling movie stars? Dodgy dialogue? No worries. Ai generates spot-on subtitles in real time, meaning you’ll never miss a word. Even when things drop to a hush.
Ai sound
Ai fine-tunes audio to bring voices to the front, and smooth out background noise. Dialogue sounds clearer, so there’s no need to keep reaching for that remote.
Ai picture
Scene-by-scene, frame-by-frame, Ai fine-tunes your picture. It makes everything look cinematic, with colour and details that (almost) leap out of the screen.
Which TV brand is best to buy?
It all depends on the features you’re looking for. Lots of top brands make high-quality TVs featuring some of the best TV tech around. We’ve got top TVs from some of the biggest brands around, including:
