What TV Features Are Best For Watching Sport?

Screen Technology

Whether you choose to watch sport on an OLED or QLED TV, you will experience clean and crisp imagery that makes the best television for sports. OLED and QLED TVs may be very similar in name, yet their technology is actually very different. In simple terms, OLED TVs use self-lighting pixels whereas QLED TVs require a LCD backlight. This means that OLED TVs can be thinner and lighter due to having no backlight, and QLED TVs can typically be cheaper for bigger sizes.
