Super Bowl!
This is always the time of year when TV manufacturers and sites like Amazon and Best Buy offer up flat-screens and soundbars with Black Friday-level prices, under the assumption that we’re all gonna host a big Super Bowl party and we just totally forgot to upgrade our audio/visual assets until now.
Perhaps they’re right. In any case, now IS a really good time to elevate your home theater setup. Below, five really great deals on 4K TVs and soundbars, perfect for football or the Oscars or any non-event Netflix binges:
For best picture: Vizio P-Series Quantum 65” 4K HDR
Vizio’s brightest and most powerful unit, with 192 local dimming zones for the purest blacks
For the cheap win: TCL 49S325
While it was slightly cheaper a few days back, grabbing a well-reviewed smart TV (that’s a 2019 model!) for just $250 with Prime shipping is amazing. That’s still $50 less than usual.
For people who aren’t scared by refurbished: Samsung Class 4K
At $340, this refurbed 55” screen at Walmart is over half off ($400 cheaper) than a new unit and $250 less than a used unit at any third-party vendor we found.
For a complete game plan: LG 49SK8000
Amazon’s actually hosting a bunch of TV sales (and soundbars, too), but getting an excellent, 2018 LG 49-inch at 34% off might be your winner … and you can save even more if you pair that with a sound bar. For an extra $80, they’ll also do the wall mounting.
BUY IT HERE: $900 $597 (TV only)
For easy audio setup: Sonos
Your flat screen needs a soundbar. We set up our Beam (and accompanying Play One speakers) in about two minutes. Good news: Sonos is hosting a bunch of deals (in the $50-$200 range), both on separate audio components and audio bundles.
