How to find the best TV for sports

[_J.G.M_]

With the Tour de France racing across Europe, and Wimbledon in full swing, it really is the season of sports! If you want to feel like you’re at the event itself, you’re going to need a TV that’s made for sports, as our BRAVIA XR X95L, BRAVIA XR X90L, and BRAVIA X85L are. In this article, we’ll show you the technologies to look out for to keep sports scenes smooth, crisp, and clear, so you can see and hear everything in full glory inside your living room.

Cognitive Processor XR

The driving force behind many of our best TVs, the Cognitive Processor XR understands how humans see and hear in real-life. For instance, it understands that you’ll be focusing on the footballer with the ball, or that you need to hear the tennis ball fly overhead. The Cognitive Processor XR then recreates scenes that are so realistic, you’ll see them unfold in front of your eyes and hear the action all around you.

Our latest XR Triluminos Pro™ display is infused with over a billion different shades and hues, straight out of the real-world. From the colour of your team's shirt to the grass on the pitch, when colours are bright and true-to-life like this, there are no distractions, allowing you to be fully immersed in every sporting victory.

Mini LED

Mini LED delivers a supreme viewing experience due to its ultra-realistic brightness and contrast. Our XR Backlight Master Drive™ controls the thousands of Mini LEDs with absolute precision and independence (in real-time) to capture the dazzling highlights, deep blacks, and natural mid tones inside the stadium. It’s like being at the game!

XR Motion Clarity™

Essential for the speed enthusiasts, XR Motion Clarity™ ensures fast-moving objects stay smooth, bright, and blur-free. The human eye sees a slight judder when frames don't quite match up or when the brightness drops, but our XR Motion Clarity™ technology uses intelligent motion processing for speeding objects across frames and keeps everything bright. This means you can see every sprint or cycle without blur - just how you would in-person.

X-Anti Reflection™

Whether it’s a day or night kick-off, our X-Anti Reflection™ technology ensures sunlight and lamps don’t ruin the picture, so you can sit back and enjoy the match with less reflections and glare.

X-Wide Angle™

One for big families or when you’ve got friends over to watch the game, X-Wide Angle™ ensures the picture quality and colour stays consistent, even when viewing from the sides. Now everyone can claim the best seat in the house, and never miss a shot!

XR Sound

Of course, all this immersive picture technology would mean nothing without immersive sound to match! On conventional TVs, sound often only comes from the bottom of the screen; on our TVs, sound appears to come from directly where it’s happening on-screen. From the tennis ball smashing against the racket to the crowds cheering from the side, this multi-faceted, dynamic audio experience makes you feel like you’re amongst the action.
