It’s time for big football and basketball games, which is the perfect excuse to gather family and friends, eat seven-layer dip, and cheer on your favorite team!

The Viewing Experience

Watching the game from home may not be as exciting as watching from the stands, but the right TV can help really immerse you in the big game, even from your couch!

With its brighter image, popping colors, deep black levels, and wider viewing angle, the LG OLED Evo is one of the best sports TVs available.
Featuring better off-angle viewing than most OLEDs, Sony’s XR Motion Clarity technology on this 77-inch TV results in nearly blur-free action.
