Back in October ESPN started broadcasting college football in 4K, and now it’s time for the National Championship Game. For tonight’s matchup between LSU and Clemson the network will present a Samsung-sponsored feed from the Field Pass view — with “free flowing commentary of the game” and SkyCam angle in Ultra HD. There’s still no HDR in the broadcast yet, but viewers with appropriate setups from Comcast, DirecTV and Altice can tune in.

Hopefully the broadcast won’t suffer from any glitches, as Awful Announcing pointed out the the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day ran into numerous “technical difficulties” for DirecTV viewers.

Even if you don’t think upgrading to Super Hi-Vision is necessary, other innovations present in this year’s broadcast include Pylon Cam, virtual reality graphics, RefCams mounted to the official’s hats and an “AllCam” that covers the entire field for zooming in to any individual player at any time.

You can also crack open the ESPN App to watch RefCam, SkyCast (i.e. Madden-style) and All-22 views. Finally, the app will even have a TechCast feed with up to 12 angles on-screen simultaneously. The National Championship Game braodcast starts tonight at 8 PM ET.

TCL only recently introduced its new 6-Series and 8-Series 4K TVs for 2019, but their predecessors were among the most well-reviewed and highly rated TVs last year. The new 6-Series TVs add quantum dots to the mix, and start at $599 for a 55-inch version. However, there’s still some of the 2018-era TVs to clear out, and TCL has announced that Best Buy will sell the 55-inch version for just $399.

The sale starts at 2 AM ET on Friday morning and will run through Sunday night, or as long as supplies last. These 4K TVs bring excellent picture quality, Dolby Vision HDR and the Roku smart TV platform, however as The Wirecutter noted in a recent updates, there have been some complaints about color uniformity and lip sync issues when using HDMI-ARC. Still, it’s hard to find a TV this good at that price, so think hard — the sale starts in just a few hours.

By now we’ve seen Ultra HD TV broadcasts of sports and other content, but for the first time ESPN is getting into the game. The network just confirmed that Saturday night’s college football matchup between Florida and LSU will be the first one it ever broadcasts live in native 4K resolution.

The only problem now is that the only way to watch this broadcast is via DirecTV with the right equipment. ESPN’s 4K productions in the future may be available via more distributors, but so far only the one satellite broadcaster has signed on.

The broadcast is the first of six planned college football 4K events this year under the “Samsung QLED 4K Game of the Week” banner, which will include a 4K feed of the National Championship BCS game on January 13th, 2020. Unlike Fox’s recent (upscaled from 1080p) NFL broadcasts, there won’t be any use of HDR, but it is high resolution.

Also unlike Fox, ESPN isn’t using its apps — or even Samsung’s apps — to stream the game in 4K, which seems like an unfortunate missed opportunity when the network has been preparing to handle 4K for many years now. Hopefully all goes well, and this doesn’t end up like its 3D push that shut down after a couple of years due to a lack of adoption.
