It depends on the technology, because not all televisions are the same. Although Netflix runs excellently on one device, there are problems with sports broadcasts, because completely different aspects are important with football than with streaming. Incidentally, flat screen TVs that are mainly suitable for sports broadcasts are usually also very good for gaming.
Some aspects are essential for smooth sports broadcasting in your own World Cup arena. A high refresh rate is very importantbecause nothing is worse than experiencing a long pass forward and the ball only to see the third or fourth frame.
The problem is exacerbated in even faster sports like ice hockey. A good television for sports broadcasts should therefore have a display with 100 or 120 Hertz.
Good peak brightness is also important when watching football – the World Cup and many Bundesliga matches take place during the day. If you then sit in front of a dark flat screen TV, you will hardly enjoy it. For this, the television screen must be very well anti-glare and have good viewing angle stabilityso that several people can enjoy a good and undisturbed view of what is happening.
Last but not least, the TV of your choice should support the popular streaming apps. 48 of the 64 World Cup matches are broadcast on the public broadcaster. The media libraries of ARD and ZDF are therefore almost mandatory. If you can do without the commenters and moderators and want the complete package, you should buy the MagentaTV app, which shows all 64 games.
The Samsung Q95T fulfills all the above aspects for smooth football broadcasting with ease. The display has up to 120 Hertz for smooth image sequences. Thanks to the QLED technology, the brightness is absolutely top class. If you stream sports via the PS5 or Xbox Series X, you have the full 120 Hertz at your disposal thanks to the HDMI 2.1 connection.
The QLED technology also helps the Samsung Q95T to achieve surprisingly good viewing angle stability and an excellent anti-reflective coating. There is also an incredibly large choice of apps. You can’t go wrong with the Q95T when it comes to sports broadcasting.
As part of Prime Days, three sizes of the Q95T are currently on sale at rock bottom prices. The 55-inch version costs € 749. At 65 inches, the 4K TV costs € 899 and at 75 inches € 1555.
In the run-up to Prime Day, we had already introduced you to 3 top TVs for your watch list. Unfortunately, Amazon has not lowered any of the devices further. Nevertheless, the LG OLED G2 with 55 inches for €1699 is a great offer!
The LG TV is ultra-slim and equipped with an almost perfect display that radiates with a high peak brightness and 120 Hertz. In addition, there is excellent upscaling of Full HD content to 4K, which can help enormously in sports broadcasts to get the TV image even sharper.
