The SuperRugby season has already kicked off, but do you have everything that you need? Yes, you may have the jersey, cap and all the braai essentials, but what about your TV and audio? It’s time to invest in an awesome entertainment centre! With dynamic colour and floor-shaking sound, you won’t just be watching rugby, you’ll experience it!<\/p>\n

The Smart TV<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is literally going to be the centre of the entertainment and so we suggest that for an enhanced viewing experience, you invest in a Smart TV with a great resolution \u2013 we\u2019d suggest Ultra HD (4K). This is currently the highest resolution available for commercial TVs (3840 X 2160 pixels) \u2013 4x the picture quality of a Full HD (FHD) TV.<\/p>\n

The majority of brands employ Ultra Dimming and High Dynamic range technology, making darker black and purer white (contrast) \u2013 essentially this means that the images are going to be far more detailed. You\u2019ll also have the choice of a flat or curved panel; the latter offers a more immersive viewing experience.<\/p>\n

Also, please make sure that the TV does have a Smart Hub; this is the gateway through which lies the essential Wi-Fi capability as well as apps such as YouTube.<\/p>\n

Wireless speaker or sound bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audio peripherals have come a long way in the past few years. The sound quality from speakers and sound bars is sensational and will without a doubt, kick up your entertainment centre to a new level. We suggest wireless options because it will clear the clutter and make your hub more aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>A Blu-ray or DVD player<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t throw away your DVDs; they are definitely not obsolete. One of the drawbacks to an online-streaming service is that it may not have your \u201call-time favourite\u201d movie and\/or series available. So, it\u2019s definitely worth keeping your Blu-ray or DVD player around \u2013 you\u2019ll regret it if you don\u2019t! Also, if for some terrible reason you aren’t able to watch the whole game, you can record the game!<\/p>\n

Note* Only certain DVD and Blu-ray players have this functionality.<\/p>\n

BONUS: Subscription to an online video-streaming service<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like VHS before it, DVDs are being phased out with online streaming taking its place. The popularity of VoD platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and Showmax is growing exponentially and why it wouldn\u2019t: it\u2019s cheaper (flat-rate monthly subscription), a large library of shows, content is being added constantly and the picture quality is better than DVDs. So, once the game is over, you can sit back, relax and watch your favourite shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
