Retailers ramp up TV sales before Super Bowl, expert breaks down new features

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Super Bowl week is about more than football. Of course there are commercials, food and plenty of sales for TVs.

If you’re looking for a top-notch TV for Super Bowl Sunday, there are a few main things you need to consider as retailers roll out their big game deals this week.

A Samsung expert at Best Buy says there are some new features that could make your Super Bowl party even better.

“One TV might not be the fix-all solution,” said Best Buy Samsung expert Brandon Berio.

Picking out a TV can be tough. Berio breaks things down and shares some of the must-haves when buying a new TV.

“You’re definitely going to want the 4K resolution. So that’s going to be eight million pixels, as opposed to just a regular HD television, which is two million,” said Berio. “That’s going to be your clarity and your resolution. You’re also going to want to look for HDR. That stands for high dynamic range. So that’s going to be your upscale of colors.”

Berio says these new features will make your viewing experience top notch. But not all programs are being shown in 4K resolution yet.

Picture quality is not the only thing to look out for though.

“With these TVs getting so thin, the speakers are getting thinner as well. So the sound quality with televisions nowadays are not that great,” said Berio.

Berio says you can buy a sound bar. He says the add-on can step up the sound sound quality big time.

Whatever TV you choose, Berio says every customer is different.

Berio also says a bigger TV is not always the better choice. He says it all depends on the size of the room.

So if you’re taking advantage of these early Super Bowl sales, you have a lot to consider. So do your research or talk to an expert.
