On the occasion of the final cricket match happening, my cousins and I decided to meet and enjoy the match together. We were casually sitting but somehow the comparison of LEDs began and soon it became a hearable argument. We were all pouring our suggestions about the best TV to watch the match on.
Many of us believe that watching sports depends on your personal preferences and the ambience in which you will be watching TV. And it also depends on the budget you have available for it.
Amid all this chaos our match started streaming, another thing to note we had to use VPN to stream beIN Sports in the UK as its streaming service is not currently available in the UK. Otherwise, we would have started debating on sports channels too, let alone the topic of TV.
We all collectively researched it, that includes all the factors mentioned below, which i think everyone must consider before buying a TV.
