We're not too heavily into sports but I am imagining the pixel quality would be stupendous for sports! There's even a video input in the settings for sports- it's called the Motion Rate... some TVs are MR120 but ours is MR240; which means when you're watching say a baseball game and it's a ground ball... the ball hits the turf and sometimes you can see the fuzzy spots where the ball skips on the turf... well this MR240 eliminates that fuzzy turf... still have to test it out at home; although we did watch it happen on the TV in the store while watching the Detroit Tigers ball game.
