Okay, let’s discuss something that many people don’t understand they are lacking.
We all know there’s cricket on television.
You’ve watched countless sixes by now, but the fact is unless you have watched them on a high refresh rate Mini LED screen, you have never truly experienced them.
Does this sound too exaggerated? Just wait until I share the rest of the story.
A Six Is Not Just a Shot. It’s a Moment
In India, a six is more than just six runs. It’s a whole vibe.
The split second the bat connects. The flick of the wrist. The ball flying into the stands. The crowd exploded. That slow motion replay where the ball disappears into the sky.
And this entire experience? It becomes ten times more thrilling when you’re watching it on a TV that doesn’t stutter, blur, or mess with the frame.
That’s where high refresh rate displays quietly steal the show.
What Even Is a Refresh Rate? (And Why Should You Care?)
The term refresh rate uses tech speak so let’s break it down without giving you a headache.
Your TV transforms images 60 or more times every second. That update happens at a frequency known as refresh rate which is measured in Hertz. A 120Hz refresh improves motion 120 times in a second.
the greater the refresh rate the more smooth the movements seem on your screen.
Not just gamers or nerds care about smooth effortless running. It actually transforms the way you consume other content such as cricket, movies, OTT shows, and let’s not forget your kid’s birthday celebrations.
Cricket Hits Different at 120Hz or 144Hz
Today, everything is racing, including cricket. The pace of both T20 and ODIs has become lightning quick.
However, because many of us are still using older televisions, we are forced to view things in slow motion. This is the reason why some sixes seem jumpy or blurry.
Your television’s high refresh rate display would allow every frame of the sixes to be delivered separately and vividly. Each bat and ball connection, the follow through, and the crowd reaction can be viewed without annoying blur.
For cricket fans, this is an unbelievable change.
The Secret Sauce: Mini LED + High Refresh Rate
Everything is possible thanks to two advancements:
Mini LED technology which enhances contrast, resulting in deeper blacks and brighter whites, even more sharper and clearer visuals.
High-refresh rate panels (120 Hz and 144 Hz), which smoothen fast movements.
The combination gives people the kind of reaction where they feel, “Yar, this looks better than in the stadium.”
What About Normal Daily Viewing? Still Worth It?
Many people assume high refresh rate features are exclusive for sports and gaming, which is untrue.
Here is how it improves even basic content:
- TV serials: Emotional close-ups are clearer and smoother camera pans enhance the visuals.
- Movies: Action sequences are immersive, cinematic, blur-free, and lag-free.
- YouTube vlogs: No jitter occurs when the camera moves.
- Family videos: Those wedding and birthday clips are more vivid and lifelike.
In essence, every TV watching activity receives a visual boost. Even scrolling through Netflix looks smoother.
Gaming is a totally different world with 144 Hz refresh rate
If you enjoy gaming, even at a casual level, you understand that there’s nothing worse than lag.
With a 144Hz screen, games become much quicker. Button presses become effortless. Movements are more fluid. Spotting enemies is easier and your skill level rises.
This is especially true for:
- First person shooters like Call of Duty or Apex legends.
- F1 and Forza racing games.
- FIFA and other sports games.
- Assassin’s Creed and other highly mobile adventure games.
If you recently purchased a ps5 or Xbox Series X and are still using a 60hz television, you are certainly not reaping the benefits of your console’s full potential.
How High Refresh Rate TVs Could Make You a Better Gamer (or Movie Enthusiast)
Imagine you watching a thriller movie and there is a chase scene. On an average TV, it’ll look choppy. But with a 120Hz display, you ‘ll be running alongside the character.
It is the same with gaming as well. A headshot in PUBG seems to register instantly. A turn in Need for Speed appears sharper. Your response time improves. It is as if the TV is in sync with you.
After experiencing this once, it is impossible to go back to the old way.
Real Talk: How Indian Homes Can Benefit from this
To be honest, most of us are seated in spacious living rooms that are well-lit and equipped with ceiling fans as children run about.
Unlike Western countries, we don’t have perfect viewing conditions, but high refresh rate Mini LED TVs actually enhance content in these real-world scenarios.
- They are brighter: Sunlight exposure won’t affect the screen.
- They are Better at Handling Motion: No blur when children jump in front of the TV.
- They have Better Sound Quality: Many models come with KEF or Dolby Audio speakers built into the TV.
To summarize, they are specifically designed for Indian living rooms.
Eye Strain? No Such Thing for Us
One of the underrated benefits of high refresh rate televisions is how comfortable they are for the eyes.
Have you ever watched a long cricket match or a series and felt a little tired or dizzy? More often than not, that’s due to flicker or motion blur on the screen.
With better frame transitions, relaxation happens. That means strain-free eyes which permits you to enjoy longer viewing sessions without any headaches.

Don’t Fall for “Fake” High Refresh TVs
One last thing right before we finish up.
Some TVs offer “motion smoothing” or “refresh rate boost” but these are not true 120Hz or 144Hz panels. Always verify the native refresh rate, as that’s the real speed of the panel, not some software nonsense.
Brands like Haier make this information clear, so you cannot be misled.
