What Should You Look For In The Right TV?
When you’re planning to watch the Olympics from home, you’ll want a TV that can display everything in its full glory. As such, you’ll want a display with an excellent resolution, backed up by HDR support. Many of the biggest events at the Olympics are broadcast in full 4K, with support for HDR. A compatible display will allow you to see every single detail. From sweat dripping down an athlete’s head, to the individual colours on every single flag.
To make the most of the Olympics, you should aim to have a TV with a great screen size and a great resolution. For fast-paced events, a high refresh rate is also highly recommended, something like 120Hz
You’ll also want a display with a high refresh rate. This will ensure that all motion is rendered as smoothly as possible. A high refresh rate is especially important when it comes to track-and-field events, and so look for 120Hz or even 144Hz. A TV that’s equally as fast as the world’s best runners will let you witness every single step as the athletes rocket across the course!
