At 100 inches, this is the closest you can get to the Hard Rock Stadium Jumbotron. Or as one buyer writes, “I’ve researched a LOT of TVs. This is by far the best deal for the money. It’s such a great picture. It is the perfect gaming TV for PS5.”

Recreating the Stadium Roar

The atmosphere in Miami will be electric. To truly feel the crowd noise, your audio needs to fire from multiple directions.
