May 29, 2024 – 3 min read

Can you really call yourself a sports fan if you don’t have a TV that’s equally dedicated to your favourite teams? One with a big screen that tracks every air-punching triumph in living, breathing UHD? And with all the non-stop sporting action on offer this year (hello, world-class athletics, Euro footy showdowns and all the riveting at-home footy), there’s never been a better time to step up your viewing with a new superscreen.

Trusted Japanese brand Toshiba is one for the winner’s circle. Their latest range of top-value TVs offers sports diehards a sweep of performance-enhancing perks for less than you’d expect to pay.

“Toshiba has sports lovers firmly in their sights with well-priced TVs that enhance sports content with premium features such as brilliant OLED brightness and best-in-show refresh rates for fluid action every game day,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories.

Keen to make all the sports action jump off the screen with a new TV? We asked John Milonas and Chris Mayer – the top TV experts from The Good Guys and Toshiba – to help you find your best Toshiba smart TV for unforgettable match nights. Plus, we share some handy tips to help you savour every sports highlight on your Toshiba TV.

How To Find Your Best Toshiba TV For Sports

When footy fever strikes, you need a high-performance TV that can go the distance with you, day or night. One that can keep up with even the most frenetic action. Toshiba has your new ultimate sporting companion.

You Want That Big-Stadium Rush

Your star player: Toshiba 85" Z670MP 4K UHD Smart TV 23

Why you want it: A blockbuster 85-inch screen that brings the buzz, an unbeatable refresh rate for ultra-smooth motion, and mighty REGZA Power Audio Pro to hear the roar of the crowd.

The experts say: “When you’re choosing the best TV for sports, motion handling is paramount so you can actually see the ball whiz across your screen,” says John Milonas. “Ideally, look for a TV with a screen refresh rate of 120Hz or above. If you watch a lot of sport, the higher the hertz, the better – and that’s where this Toshiba model really delivers.”

Adds Chris Mayer, Toshiba Australia National Retail Training Manager: “This is Toshiba’s biggest Ultra High Definition screen to date, offering sports fans a vivid, edge-to-edge display that maximises viewing area so your focus stays entirely on the game. Plus, with the highest native display refresh rate capability of 144Hz, all those fast-moving scenes will come alive before your eyes, with unmatched clarity and fluidity.”

When Every Goal Matters

Your star player: Toshiba 65" X9900MP OLED 4K Smart TV 23

Why you want it: Automatic Sports Mode for sharper, clearer movement, OLED brilliance for incredible colour and contrast, two upfiring speakers for stadium-worthy surround sound.

The experts say: “If you regularly get the gang around to watch the big game, an OLED TV is the ideal choice. Their self-luminous pixels light in all directions, so the screen beams accurate and clear pictures wherever you sit,” says John Milonas.

Adds Chris Mayer: “The X9900MP offers Toshiba’s best viewing experience to date with OLED that’s powered by our new REGZA ZRi Engine to enhance the sharpness of any content, including your favourite sports, without you lifting a finger.

“Toshiba’s REGZA ZRi Engine takes care of all the intricate settings for you. When you’re watching sports, for example, the TV will automatically adjust the picture for fast-moving balls and players, as well as restore grass textures and lighting, so you can see every game in realistic detail, as if you were there in person.”

When Game Days Deserve The Blockbuster Treatment

Automated settings that do the hard work for you are a brilliant viewing innovation, but some sports hounds prefer to set the tone themselves. And little-known fact: sports mode isn’t always your best bet!

“A lot of people actually prefer to watch games in cinema mode because they feel it delivers a more natural-looking picture; others love the way sports mode dials up all the brightness and contrasts out on the field, making it supereasy to follow the action,” reveals John Milonas.

“At the end of the day, if it means that you get more enjoyment from your favourite sports, you should definitely explore your TV’s picture settings until your display is just the way you like it.”

How To Change Picture Settings On Your Toshiba Smart TV

Select the HOME button on your Toshiba TV remote.
Select PICTURE from the on-screen menu.
Select MODE, then scroll right to select YES.
Choose from NATURAL, CINEMA, GAME, SPORTS or DYNAMIC.
Press OK on your remote.

How To Optimise Your Audio For Sports Viewing

Premium Toshiba TVs use advanced audio software to create realistic surround sound for sports lovers. But you can also tweak your Toshiba TV’s internal speaker system settings to personalise your listening pleasure.

“If you want to create a lighter or heavier sound for your sports content, try adjusting the dynamic bass setting,” suggests John Milonas. “And play around with the in-built graphic equaliser default setting until you find the specific range of frequencies that best suits you and your ears.”

How To Adjust The Sound Settings On Your Toshiba TV

Select the HOME button on your Toshiba TV remote.
Select SETTINGS >SOUND from the on-screen menu.
Select OK on your remote to view the drop-down menu.
Switch DYNAMIC BASS to off or on, as preferred.
Select EQUALIZER and toggle between MOVIE, SPEECH or CLASSIC setting – or create your own with User mode.
