The 7 Best 4k TVs For Watching Sports - Fall 2019
Reviews

If the possibility of burn-in with the LG B8 OLED concerns you or you have a bright room, the Vizio P Series Quantum 2018 is the best, brightest LED alternative. This TV can get extremely bright and has outstanding reflection handling, so you should have no issues even if your living room is surrounded by windows. Like the LG, this TV has an outstanding response time, with very little blur trail and good gray uniformity. Unfortunately, just like most VA panel TVs, the image loses accuracy when viewed from the side. This means it isn't as well-suited for watching the big game with a large group of friends if some people will be watching at an angle.

Overall, if you want the best quality TV for watching sports, get the LG B8; otherwise, if the risk of burn-in concerns you and you want the next best thing, then the Vizio PQ65-F1 is an excellent LED alternative.

If you often watch sports with a group of friends and you find the viewing angles on the Sony X950G limiting, then check out the LG SM9000 instead. You won't get the same gray uniformity of the Sony, and its upscaling features don't offer the same level of control, but neither of these are very noticeable. On the upside, this TV delivers a great sports experience, with wide viewing angles, a fast response time, and great peak brightness. 

If you sit straight in front of the TV, get the Sony X950G; otherwise, if you're okay with not having the gray uniformity and want better image accuracy from the side, get the LG SM9000.

If you have a wide seating arrangement and the viewing angles on the Hisense H9F don't make you happy, then check out the LG UM7300. You won't get the fast response time or the peak brightness of the Hisense, but you'll be getting a good overall TV that maintains an accurate image when viewed from the side. It has very good sports performance thanks to its fast response time and excellent reflection handling that allows you to place it a room with many light sources without issue. Also, its gray uniformity is good with just minimal dirty screen effect.

If you sit straight in front of the TV, get the Hisense H9F, which will give you better picture quality and overall performance. However, if you need wide viewing angles and don't mind missing out on peak brightness, the LG UM7300 is a good alternative.

If you want a larger TV in the budget category without overspending, consider getting the Vizio E Series 2018. You won't get the excellent response time or of the Hisense H9F, and upscaling to 720p might be more of an issue. On the upside, this is a TV with decent picture quality, low input lag, and good motion that will perform well in most uses, including sports.

If you want the best budget TV for watching sports, get the Hisense H9F; otherwise, if you don't mind compromising on response time, the Vizio E Series is a larger and less expensive alternative with close sports performance.
