The question of which TV you should buy is always a difficult one. However you look at it, a TV is a big investment and you want to be sure that it will retain its quality and usefulness in the years to come. That said, everyone uses their television a little differently so, in this article, we thoroughly discuss the features that you should be looking for if you love action films or sports.
Action Movies with Great Detail
Action films thrive on the superficial; they live in the moment, they’re often very exciting and have a lot of intense feelings. Sometimes, the overall plot skips over a few gaps or inconsistencies, but we don’t mind because it’s still a very enjoyable film.
When watching an action film, you want to be able to enjoy what makes it great; faced paced car races, fistfights and amazing stunts – it’s the details in those scenes that make them so fun, so you want to buy a TV which can display those moments in all their glory.
The TV you’re looking for needs HDR, which stands for ‘high-dynamic-range’ and allows your screen to achieve brighter highlights, more colour detail, and better levels of contrast. HDR content is supported both by Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and streaming services like Netflix, so if you’re invested in either of these, you can benefit by upgrading your television to HDR.
A TV with HDR will provide you with better images, re-watching your favourite films in HDR can be well worth the time because HDR saturates colours and illuminates the nuances that you might have missed on a normal screen.
If you get HDR with a 4K resolution, then you can be sure that you will be experiencing the best that TV technology has to offer for action film enjoyment. You may also want to ask about a TV with fast response times to ensure that fast-moving objects avoid unintentional blurring on your screen.
For a TV that can keep up with your favourite fast-paced action films, you should prioritise fast response times, HDR and 4K. We have plenty of cheap 4K TVs available both instore and online, so please be sure to browse our goods or contact us for a more specific recommendation.
The Best TV for Sports
Sports and action films share some similarities in their viewing experience; both involve fast-moving objects and therefore need a television with quick response times to offer the best quality entertainment. On the other hand, they differ in that sports fans often want to watch live footage.
What this means for your TV needs is that, for sport alone, you won’t need as much of a focus on the HDR and may instead want to prioritise high-quality audio and OLED screen technology. Investing in great sound will help you to fully immerse yourself in the content, transporting you from your living room to the pitch, court or track.
OLED screens are frequently heralded as a technology that you should want to have on your television however you’re using it. OLED stands for ‘Organic Light-Emitting Diode’, and, in simple terms, is a special type of LED that provides a greater range of colours at more depths; whites are brighter, and blacks are darker – everything is more realistic, especially when paired with 4K or 8K resolution. Your viewing experience will be so much more vibrant when you make the change to OLED – we’re sure that you’ll never look back, so check out our cheap OLED TVs for a wide array of choices.
For watching sports, the size of your screen and the viewing angles may also affect your TV requirements, especially if you like to turn match night into an evening to hang out with your mates. In our infographic “Which TV Type is Best for You?”, we recommended that you look for TVs sized at around 50-inches to encourage the feeling that you’re there, but big TVs are also perfect for party environments and action film nights.
