A trip back in time shows how the cost and performance of the
home theater experience has improved over last year as fans gear up
to watch the Patriots battle the Seahawks on Feb. 1.

The last time the Patriots won the Big Game – 2005 – a 50-inch
RCA DLP Projection HDTV at Best Buy cost $2,799. Now? You can get a
50-inch Insignia HDTV for just $399.
The Seahawks won it all just last year, when a Samsung 55-inch
4K UHD TV cost $2,299. This year, a 55-inch Samsung 4K UHD TV for
the Big Game is just $1,199.
“January is an important month for TV deals because
manufacturers just announced their new 2015 lineups at the Consumer
Electronics Show,” said Mark LoCastro at leading deal site
DealNews. “Anyone who is considering a premium TV purchase should
look for deals on 2014's top models now and throughout the next few
months.”
UHD vs. HDTV?Also known as 4K, Ultra High Definition – or
simply UHD – is the new wave of TV technology offering four-times
the resolution of 1080p HDTVs. Customers can expect more than
double the 4K UHD TV options at Best Buy compared to the last time
Seattle was in the Big Game just 12 months ago.
UHD TVs have eight million pixels compared to HDTVs, which have
two million pixels. And while this year’s game will not be
broadcast in UHD, an Ultra HD TV will upscale the picture, boosting
the quality to make it sharper, clearer and dramatically better
than an HDTV.
Check Out These Viewing SpecsIndustry experts advise that
TVs 50 inches or larger are the best for watching the game with
your party guests. Given that, an LG 55-inch HDTV is on sale for
$499 and the LG 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV is down to $1,199.
And to complement your big screen TV, sound bars can
aesthetically span the width of your TV and also provide the audio
necessary to make you feel as if you are at the game.
LG offers a great sound bar and woofer for $199, and
Samsung’s curved sound bar seamlessly fits a new curved UHD TV for
just $699. One of the best parts of these sound bars and
woofers is you do not get tangled up in wires – many of them are
wireless. And do not forget Bose’s CineMate 15 for $539.
If you are in the market for a new TV but short on time or
energy, this year Best Buy’s Geek Squad guarantees delivery and
installation of your system by game time if it is purchased by 11
a.m. local time on Jan. 28. Delivery includes free haul-away
and recycling of your old clunker TV, giving you more room for
guests and that taco bar.
