What better to watch your favourite team go head to head in the latest football season than with a 4K TV to ensure you don’t miss a second of the action? We’ve put together the best 4K TVs for football, just in time for the first kick-off.
We’re the only LED TV brand that still manufactures products in the UK. From our production line in Bishop Auckland, County Durham we make all of our LED TVs from 16″ to 85″. As well as TVs we also offer a wide range of accessories, TV cabinets, soundbars and digital tablets. Cello products are distributed throughout the UK and beyond. Rest assured, we know our TVs, so read on for our picks on the best 4K TV for watching football.
Why 4K TVs for watching football?
Did you know 4K TVs boast four times the resolution of Full HD TVs? This translates to roughly 8 million pixels compared to 2 million pixels. The increased pixel density creates a sharper, more detailed image. You'll see the intricate details of the players' uniforms, the texture of the pitch, and even the blades of grass with greater clarity - making 4K TVs perfect for watching football.
In addition, for the best viewing experience, you’ll want Smooth Motion Handling. Football is a fast-paced sport, and with players dashing all over the pitch and the action happening in microseconds, ensure you don’t miss a second of the action. Traditional TVs can struggle to keep up, resulting in motion blur and judder. 4K TVs often have higher refresh rates (usually 120Hz or higher) compared to Full HD TVs (typically 60Hz). This higher refresh rate allows the TV to display rapidly changing images more smoothly, keeping up with the action on the field without blurring.
Furthermore, 4K TVs often come in larger sizes to improve your immersive viewing experience. This is also ideal for group viewings of games. Our Ultra 4K TVs, manufactured in the UK, go all the way up to 65”, making you feel like you’re right there on the pitch with the players. While you can certainly enjoy football on a regular TV, a 4K TV elevates the viewing experience. The sharper visuals, smoother motion handling, and potential for a larger screen size all come together to create a more lifelike and exciting way to watch the beautiful game.

Optimising Your Viewing Experience for Football
Having a great 4K TV is just the first step to experiencing the beautiful game at its best. Here are some tips to optimise your TV setup specifically for football:
Finding the Perfect Viewing Distance:
-
The Sweet Spot: The ideal viewing distance depends on your screen size. Generally, for a more immersive experience, you want to sit close enough to perceive the full picture without straining your eyes. However, sitting too close can be overwhelming.
-
The Rule of Thumb: A common rule of thumb is to sit 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen's diagonal measurement away from the TV. For example, for a 55-inch TV, the ideal viewing distance would be between 82.5 inches (6.8 feet) and 137.5 inches (11.5 feet).
-
Adjusting for Comfort: This is just a guideline. Ultimately, the best distance is what feels comfortable for you. Experiment and find the sweet spot where you can see the entire picture clearly without feeling overwhelmed.
Fine-Tuning Your Picture Settings:
-
Motion Enhancement: Most 4K TVs offer motion enhancement features. These can be helpful for sports viewing by reducing motion blur and judder during fast-paced action. However, be careful not to overdo it. Excessive motion enhancement can create a "soap opera effect" that makes the picture look unnatural.
-
Sharpness: Adjusting the sharpness setting can enhance detail, but be careful not to overdo it. Too much sharpness can create unwanted noise and artifacts in the picture.
-
Sports Mode: Many TVs have a dedicated "Sports Mode" preset that optimizes picture settings for sports viewing. This mode typically adjusts brightness, contrast, sharpness, and motion enhancement to create a more vibrant and dynamic picture ideal for fast-paced action.
Controlling the Room Lighting:
-
Dim the Lights: For the most immersive viewing experience, especially in a larger room, dim the lights in the room where you're watching the game. This will reduce glare and enhance the contrast of the picture on your TV.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: If possible, position your TV to avoid direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause glare and wash out the picture, making it difficult to see details.
Bonus Tip: Consider calibrating your TV for the best possible picture quality. While professional calibration is ideal, some TVs offer user-friendly calibration tools you can use yourself.
By following these tips and experimenting with your TV's settings, you can optimise your viewing experience and ensure you catch every heart-stopping moment.
