That’s why the electronics wizards at Samsung Australia are bringing their best game with a new line-up of TVs, packed with the transformative power of AI to upscale every moment – and tackle all your most important sports content goals.

“In 2024, we’re entering a new era of Samsung TV across AI picture, AI sound and AI optimisation,” says Simon Howe, Director of Audio Visual, Samsung Electronics Australia. “This year, our focus is on upscaling for more ‘wow’, making 4K and 8K viewing experiences more accessible for Australians, while also using AI to help resolve common issues with sports content.”

So you get more from your sports viewing during the Year of Sport, Samsung’s Simon Howe teams up with The Good Guys TV expert John Milonas to help you find the best Samsung smart TV for sporting glory at home. Plus, we share how Samsung’s top-tier TV tech optimises your screen for gold medal-worthy watching.

Samsung TV for Sports

What Is Samsung’s Best TV For Sports?

Whether you bleed Liverpool red or are a Formula 1 revhead, you’ll want a TV that excels at motion control to keep pace with the fastest action. 

“And if you plan on watching a lot of sport during the day, you’ll also need a bright TV that can cut through any reflections from natural light,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories.

The Samsung QN800D Neo QLED 8K Smart TV range – which includes a blockbuster 85-inch screen – certainly steps up to the plate. As pa of Samsung’s premium range, these TVs feature the incredibly fast and powerful NQ8 AI Gen2 Processor, along with benchmark motion control that means even constantly moving images display smoothly, without any screen tearing or juddering.

“Samsung’s new and mighty AI-powered processor can upscale content up to a pin-sharp 8K resolution and produce remarkably realistic pictures that mirror how the human eye processes depth, so you can enjoy live sports in astonishing detail,” says John Milonas.¹

Adds Simon Howe: “A screen vivid enough for bright Australian living rooms, the QN800D Neo QLED TVs are a feast for the eyes; plus, with barely-there bezels, they are among the slimmest 8K sets on the market, so they’re literally designed to keep your eyes firmly on the action.”

You Want Poetry In Motion Goals

Tired of watching blurs dart across the screen? Thanks to Motion Rate 200 with AI Enhance on the QN800D Neo QLED 8K Smart TV series, even the most action-packed moments will stay smooth and crisp.

“Motion Rate 200 with AI Enhancer automatically detects the type of sport and uses deep learning to apply the proper ball detection mode. This makes fast-moving balls look super sharp and crystal clear – as if you’re in the front row of the game,” says Simon Howe.

How often have you had to reach for the remote when the ads come on, blasting through your TV speakers or soundbar?

“We know viewers get frustrated with varying volume levels when watching sports content. That’s where our Active Voice Amplifier Pro comes in. We use cutting-edge deep learning and our AI dialogue booster to enhance on-screen voices seamlessly so you never struggle to catch another commentator’s call again,” says Simon Howe.

“It can even detect background noises, like your vacuum cleaner, and adjust the volume automatically.”
