Choose a TV with stunning colour
When it comes to watching sport, colour is everything. Well, maybe not everything, but it’s a massive part of it. A lot of the latest TVs have colour settings that truly bring the match to life. Think bold contrast and minimal reflection – so you can watch the footie without having to sit in the part of the room that gives you the least screen glare.
Samsung’s QLED screen technology is super immersive because it absolutely nails the colour. Any distractions around you will fade away once you’re watching the match with a whole spectrum of eye-popping shades, thanks to its 100% colour volume. It’ll feel like you’re sat in the stadium.
Most Smart 4K TVs these days are kitted out with HDR too. This gives all of your content a colour boost as well – making the colour and contrast as vibrant as the real thing. The pitch will appear greener than green, so you’ll feel like you’re watching it live.
Go for an ultra-fast processor
Action-packed sporting events need a powerful TV to keep up with them. And that’s all dependant on the chip that’s inside. Certain processors are so smart that they can detect hundreds of objects in a single frame. This not only boosts the colour, allowing you to watch games that really pop, but also makes all of the motions nice and fluid.
There’s nothing worse than laggy or blurry movements on the TV during your team’s crucial moment. You need a processor that makes the match look smoother than ever before. Following your favourite player will be easy with the perfectly smooth motion, without a glitch or stutter in sight.
Wide-viewing angles on your TV
Seating can be an issue when you’ve got all of your mates over to watch the match. With a TV that offers wide-viewing angles you’ll get a great view from anywhere in the room, whether you’re in the best seat in the house or the awkward chair in the corner (every home has one).
If you have a TV with an ultra-wide viewing angle, everyone will want to come to yours for the Champions League final – and imagine having BBQs in the summer while being able to keep an eye on the tennis from the garden door. What a dream.
