With Super Bowl LIII fast approaching, TV makers and electornics retailers are slashing the prices
We’re just a couple of days from the kickoff of Super Bowl LIII, where the Patriots and Rams will take the field. Watching the game is fun, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to eat, so it’s the optimal time to upgrade your TV.
Depending on shipping and model availability, it might not arrive for the game, but you’ll be set with a crystal clear picture that uses the latest technology and plenty of smart features. However, with a plethora of models to choose from, ranging from 60HZ to 120HZ and 1080p going head-to-head with 4K, and even 8K, it’s tough to pick.
Fear not, though. We’ll walk you through how to choose a TV that’s perfect for your needs and your budget. Plus, see below for our favorite Super Bowl TV deals.
4K has been around for a few years, with almost all the leading TV manufacturers offering several models. However, has 4K really taken off? Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video offer 4K content, but chances are your cable provider isn’t broadcasting in ultra high definition.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since many TV models like Samsung and LG, offering 4K upscaling, which uses AI and software algorithms to make your 720p or 1080p content look sharper and more vibrant. Once 4K truly takes off and cable providers begin to broadcast, your 4K TV will be ready to go.
It might cost a bit more than a 1080pHD panel, but you’re future proofing yourself and getting a more recent model.
Besides 4K vs. 1080p, and counting the number of HDMI ports, you’ll probably see either a 60HZ or 120HZ refresh rate. Essentially these rates are how often in a second that your image panel refreshes. If you’re big into sports, action movies with car chases and gaming, 120HZ is definitely the way to go. Especially if you want to pick up on the little details. Plus, like opting for a 4K panel (or even an 8K one!), you’ll be setting yourself up for a longer life of the TV.
