Different Settings for Sports?

If you want to feel as if you’ve been transported to the pitch, then adjusting your TV settings to watch sports – or buying a new set with the intent to watch football – is important.

This is because a game of football differs from a TV drama or documentary. It’s fast-paced and involves objects moving at fast speeds, so you should get a TV with a quick response time if you want to make the most of the sporting event. Many fans also want a television that allows them to watch live sports, so that’s something to keep in mind too.

You’ll want to prioritise high-quality sound and image, which will allow you to feel immersed in the games as if you’re side by side with your favourite players.

Get Your TV Ready

Choose a Good Picture Mode

You may find a menu with several picture modes on your TV, all of which change brightness, sharpness and other features at the click of a button. However, these are pre-sets, so certain modes may not work for you. Play with the settings to find the pre-set that gives you the best image and details, so that you can enjoy sports without any blurriness or overemphasised contrast, for example.

Have the Right Contrast

You may prefer to choose settings individually, since this can give you more control over the picture. For instance, if you want to change the contrast in order to make the image look better, just adjust the levels until you’re happy.

When you fine-tune this feature, you can see all the details of the stadium, the field, the ball and the players. You won’t struggle with washed out images that will stop you from seeing the action properly.

Adjust the Brightness

Brightness is another important consideration, since it will help you to see all details in even the darkest areas. Deep blacks and more vivid whites help to create a better image, so that you can follow everything on the screen without worrying about missing out on a key moment.

Look into the Colour Settings

Football is a colourful sport. The field is often deep green, the uniforms are bright, and the fans are dressed in all colours. You don’t want to miss out on anything – not even the multicoloured banners of the sponsors! So, make sure that you have the right setting on so that you get colours as realistic as possible.

Consider the Viewing Angle

Whether you’re watching alone in your bedroom or in the living room with family and friends, the viewing angle of the screen is crucial. Make sure that you position the TV in the right place so that you can see the screen well and don’t have to strain your neck.

What About When Buying a New TV?

The features above can be adjusted on any television after purchase. However, if you’re on the market for a new TV, there are a few things to consider before making a decision, including:

Size of the Screen

The right size screen will help you to live and re-live all your favourite action, so opt for a larger screen if you don’t want to miss anything. We stock a wide range of TVs of all sizes at Electronic World, including 50-inch screens and over, so browse our selection or get in touch for more information about our graded stock.

Type of Screen

Also make sure to get a TV with a great display. Our cheap OLED TVs can be a great choice, as the technology offers more colours with better depth, and also ensures better motion. For this reason, football games will have smoother action and feel more realistic and vibrant.

You may also want to consider cheap QLED TVs, a Samsung technology that provides a beautiful image with plenty of depth too.

4K or 8K?

The resolution of the TV is equally important, since it will give a sports fan all the details they want to see on screen. We stock many cheap 4K TVs as well as cheap 8K TVs, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking one of them. Both offer fantastic images with great contrast, sharpness and brightness, so you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Frame Rates Matter

However, 8K TVs have a frame rate of up to 120 Hz, while 4K sets tend to be around 50 to 60 Hz. So, you may get an even smoother, more natural image if you opt for an 8K TV. This doesn’t mean you can’t find 4K TVs at 120 Hz; on the contrary, you just need to shop around if you’re interested in a high rate combined with a 4K screen.
