Are you looking to create the perfect home setup to view all the best Formula 1 action? Catching all the nail biting action of F1 starts with an exceptional TV that’ll provide the right colour depth, contrast, brightness, and resolution that’ll make you feel like you're almost there in the stands.
Today we’ll be looking at what TVs are best for F1 in the UK.
What to look for in a TV for Formula 1
When looking to buy a new TV, you’ll need to consider a wide host of specifications and features (which can be daunting if you don’t know much about TVs!). While you want to prioritise your F1 viewing experience, you’ll also need to consider other uses such as games consoles, regular TV broadcasts, streaming services, and all kinds of uses too.
However, that said, the following areas are super important no matter what other uses your TV will have besides viewing F1 TV. Buying a TV based on these factors will give you a great viewing experience, no matter what you are viewing:
-
Resolution. This is one of the most important things to consider. Resolution will define how clear the picture is. For F1 this could make the difference between seeing the sparks of metal against tarmac, or rubber smoke on the tight turns and not! These are things that will keep you on the edge of your seat and define your enjoyment of the sport. For F1, you’ll want to go for 4K ultra high definition to have a truly mesmerising viewing experience.
-
High dynamic range. The dynamic range is all about the range of colours and contrast a TV is capable of displaying. Having a high dynamic range will mean more vivid colours, better contrast, and an overall better image. We won’t get too technical, but a TV capable of HDR is a must when watching F1 (or any kind of sports).
-
Refresh Rate. For sports that are fast paced, having a high refresh rate is super important. Refresh rate, avoiding tech jargon, is how quickly your TV will refresh its image. High refresh rates will make the image seem smoother and less jittery. For sports like F1 where a blink of the eye can cause you to miss the action, having a smoother image makes the viewing experience exponentially better.
-
Screen size. The screen size is different from resolution! We won’t bore you with the details but the bigger the screen, the more details you’ll be able to catch. Generally, you’ll want to go for a larger TV (around 40-50 inches) but this vastly depends on the space you have at home and the budget you are working with. Thankfully, at Cello Electronics, we have a range of financing options available if budget is something steering your decision.
Best UK TVs for F1
Most folks that’ll be looking to get a new TV will be buying for the main living room. When buying for such an important room in the home, you’ll need to consider the different viewing angles you’ll have and how best to position your new TV after you buy it. You’ll want to ensure that you have a TV that can be seen from a variety of angles, so that when you do have the F1 on with some friends over, everyone can take part in the fun!
Do keep in mind that at Cello Electronics we can provide a comprehensive selection of both TV options and wall mounts to fit them; making sure that you can get the perfect viewing experience no matter the room you are buying for.
