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

If you have a bright room or find that you're too concerned about the possibility of burn-in on the LG B8 OLED, then get the Vizio P Series Quantum X 2019. This LED TV is one of the brightest TVs we've tested and has excellent reflection handling, so it can fight the glare of any room. It can't deliver the perfect blacks found on OLED TVs, but nonetheless, the dark room performance is exceptional thanks to the low contrast ratio and the great local dimming support. It has a fast response time and displays fast-moving content with minimal blur. The input lag is low, and gamers will enjoy responsive gaming sessions. Unfortunately, the image degrades at an angle, and you're better off sitting straight in front.

If you want the best quality TV for watching sports, get the LG; otherwise, if you're too concerned about the risk of burn-in, then the Vizio is an excellent LED alternative.

If you find that the viewing angles on the Sony X950G aren't good enough for watching your favorite games with a group of friends, then consider getting the Sony X850G instead. It's an IPS panel TV and can't deliver the dark room performance found on X950G, as blacks tend to look more like gray in a dark room due to the low contrast ratio and the lack of local dimming. On the upside, this is a good TV overall. The image remains accurate when watching from the side and the TV's a good choice for enjoying the big game with a group of friends. Fast action, like sports, looks crisp thanks to the fast response time and gamers will enjoy a very low input lag, better than any other Sony TV we've tested so far.

If you like to watch movies in a dark room and sit straight in front of the TV, get the X950G; otherwise, if you often watch from the side, the X850G is a better choice.

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 Hisense's fast response time or the peak brightness, 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, 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 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 Hisense H9F's excellent response time, 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; otherwise, if you don't mind compromising on response time, the Vizio is a larger and less expensive alternative with close sports performance, and one of the best TVs for sports.
