The UK is renowned for its love of sport and what a summer of sporting events we have ahead of us making armchair viewing a necessity over the next few months.
The first major sporting event takes place in just over a week’s time as the British & Irish Lions head down under to tackle the ‘Wallabies’ in three tests, followed by Wimbledon, the Tour de France, The Ashes and golf’s British Open, all leading up to the return of the Premier League in August.
This makes it the ideal time for any fanatic follower of sport, of which there are many at Greenway, to invest in a brand new television and there are several options available:
3D TV
Keen to feel and experience every tackle, putt and shot made this summer? A 3D TV will take you and your family right into the heart of the action. Slip on your 3D glasses and prepare for the ultimate viewing experience. When 3D TV’s first came on the market they cost upwards of four figures but nowadays you can find a good-sized model for around the 500 pounds mark.
Smart TV
You won’t miss a thing when you buy a Smart TV as it has the internet built-in so that you can catch-up on any action, basically being a combination of TV and computer. Though the first Smart TV was patented back in 1994 they have only just started to be rolled out worldwide and are therefore expensive but widely expected to become commonplace in homes and reduce in price over the coming years.
Plasma TV
The slimness of a Plasma TV is hugely beneficial if you would prefer to have it wall-mounted to avoid it taking up valuable floor space. From pretty much any vantage point you can expect crystal clear vision and a lifespan of anything up to 60,000 hours. It also gives a much clearer picture than an LCD screen when incorporated into a 3D design.
LCD TV
One of the best things about an LCD TV is its affordability. You can buy a 32inch LCD TV for as little as £200 nowadays. In terms of size, you can get anything from between a 13 to 65inch version. If you were to put it inside a conservatory then you won’t have to worry about the brightness affecting what you can see as it can produce a naturally brighter image than most models.
HD TV
4K and Ultra HD are also due to be rolled-out this year and the launch of a glasses-free 3D TV isn’t far away if you fancy holding on for the very latest TV innovation. Ready yourself for a sporting extravaganza.
