Bring on the pitch-perfect viewing thanks to the latest tech
If you’re a sports fan, there’s never been a better time to upgrade your TV. John Lewis’ extensive range of the latest designs includes the new Hisense 100” as well as options for every budget. Find your perfect fit and get ready to feel as if you’re in the stadium.
What makes a TV great for sport?
The latest tech includes AI motion-blur elimination, essential for tracking a fast-moving ball, and high-peak brightness from Mini-LED (Light-Emitting Diode) to combat glare during sunny daytime kick-offs. For night-time games, look for OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) models which deliver cinematic viewing for night-time matches. Don’t forget the all-important refresh rate; higher numbers reduce choppiness, which is perfect for fast action.
Best overall sports TV: Sony Bravia 8 II
Sony’s AI-powered Bravia 8 II has a sleek QD-OLED design, with the brand’s widest-ever colour palette, thanks to XR Triluminos Max technology. Plus, Acoustic Surface Audio+ tech harmonises sound with screen for exceptionally accurate audio – enjoy all that at a fantastic price.
Best TV for big screen immersion: Hisense100UR8STUK
With four times the number of pixels than full HD TVs, Hisense’s 100” beauty delivers stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail. Thanks to RGB MiniLED’s perfect contrast, the fine detail of 4K and the smooth 180Hz refresh rate, prepare to feel like you’re pitch-side.
Best TV for bright rooms: Samsung MRE65R95H
Micro RGB Technology uses the world’s first micro-sized red, green, and blue LED backlight to deliver Samsung’s widest-ever TV colour spectrum. Glare-free technology reduces light from windows and lamps, so every game looks true to life without any distracting shine or reflections.
Best value TV: LG OLED55C64LA
LG’s new 4K OLED screen produces impeccable colours, supreme contrast and crystal clear volume, powered by an α11 AI Processor. With pixel-perfect details from any angle, in any light environment there’s no bad seat in the house - and it's an extremely thin and light design.
Best TV for accuracy: Hisense 65UR9STUK
The high 170Hz refresh rate gives super sharpness and smoothness, meaning you’ll live every second of France’s goal machine Kylian Mbappé’s lightning touches. You’ll also enjoy exceptional contrast thanks to MiniLED, and intelligent tech for a heightened viewing experience.
How to prep your TV for sports viewing
Get your TV ready for kick off with these simple tweaks in ‘Settings’…
-
Turn off Vivid Mode, which is high-contrast and best for gaming or watching animation, and instead choose Standard/Normal (or Sports Mode, if you have it).
-
Adjust your contrast ratio to mid-level (40-70%) to deliver deep blacks while keeping bright elements, such as floodlights, from looking washed out.
-
Choose the correct brightness depending on the light in the room, mid-level (40-70%) is usually the best bet, as long as there isn’t sunshine beaming onto your screen.
Next-level sound
Once you’ve chosen your TV, invest in a soundbar and you’ll never look back; replicate the stadium experience with a sleek design that offers clear, deep and balanced surround sound.
