Best Documentaries To Watch In The Lead-Up To The Soccer World Cup

Best Big-Screen TVs

Sport documentaries, whether they’re soccer documentaries, NBA docos or docos on sporting legends, are all best watched on big-screen TVs. Why? Because big screens immerse you in the athlete or team’s world, in all the brilliant colour and sound.

“Big screens are only getting bigger,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions & Accessories. “Most Aussie households are opting for 75- and 85-inch TVs now to really take their streaming to the next level.“And these are great-looking TVs. The sleek designs work in any living room, and when you consider the 4K and 8K technologies that deliver pictures like never before, these TVs are a feast for the senses.”

Best Projectors

Want to go even bigger and bring a cinematic experience to your home? Then let’s talk projectors. They bring an even bigger screen to your lounge, and with 4K picture technology, the quality is amazing. If you’ve got a large blank wall to work with or a home theatre, then a projector will take your viewing experience to the next level.

“Top brands, including Samsung and Hisense, make projectors with advanced technologies, including 4K and Triple Laser, delivering experiences on a grand scale with over 100 inches of amazing viewing,” says John.
