FAQs

1. What TV is best for watching sports?
   
   All TVs are designed for watching sports, however new smart TVs will be able to better accommodate sports with their range of functions and technologies. For example, look for sports mode that may help increase image smoothness and increase brightness and contrast for greater visibility. TVs with faster refresh rates (Hz), indicated by their larger number will also be best for sports, with the ability to refresh images much quicker than TVs with lower refresh rates.
   
2. Is QLED or OLED better for watching sports?
   
   Both QLED and OLED TV panels are great for watching sports thanks to their ability to display brighter colours for immersive viewing. QLED, short for ‘Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode (LED)’ features nano-sized light emitting crystals that produce a wider range of bright, vibrant colours on screen. OLED, on the other hand, stands for ‘Organic Light Emitting Diode (LED)’ which means the particles are self-lit and don’t require backlighting, delivering a display experience that is organically bright.Regardless of whether you opt for a QLED or OLED TV, it’s always best to shop around for sports-friendly viewing features like a high refresh rate (Hz) and sports viewing modes.
3. Which is the best style of TV for watching sports?
   
   The best style of TV for watching sports will depend on your lifestyle, needs, space and budget. There are a range of TVs across resolutions such as Full HD, 4K and 8K to deliver impactful viewing. When shopping for a new TV, we suggest taking into account the TV’s specifications, any built-in speakers, frame style (known as bezel), stand and wall-mounting options to ensure it suits your needs.
