Why this is the best time to buy a new TV

Super Bowl is the perfect time to upgrade to a better screen

by Kurt Knutsson

Super Bowl is known for two winning things for certain: the best Football Team and the most ideal time to buy a new television.

Sports have always been the driving force for upgrading TVs, and nothing more influential than the big football finale of Super Bowl.

Here’s why.  The vast majority of new TVs announced at CES in January won’t be introduced until later in spring in March and April.

This is the moment retailers drive deep discounts in the name of Super Bowl to make room for the newer inventory of TVs.

Sure there are other sales throughout the year like Black Friday, but Super Bowl is the one time per year where you can get the best quality TV for the least amount.  How you shop makes all the difference.

 

What to look for in a new TV

  1. First off, forget all the marketing spin and buzzwords.  They won’t matter as much as what I am about to share with you.
  2. The best bang for your buck right now in 2022 is a 4K HDR TV
  3. The sweet spot is to target a new TV introduced over the last year – not older.  Forget what was just announced from the consumer electronics show, those are the most expensive until they become next year’s best TV value around SuperBowl again.
  4. Bigger is better. Time to go big or go home since manufacturers have their best and biggest screens yet on sale   The biggest mistake for a post-sale TV buyer is that they did not get a larger screen.
  5. Shop accessories later can often save you.  Bundling extras like the HDMI cable, a wall mount or stand at the time of sale can often be more expensive than shopping them later online separately.
  6. Deals are found when you shop every big name retailer with some of the very best deals involving a manufacturer exclusive deal with a single retailer.

That said, this first pick is an amazing example deal that I just found at Walmart that hits that perfect sweet spot.

Before you hit the purchase button

No matter what new TV you narrow down to selecting, make sure to price compare and calculate the cost of delivery in the math.   If you are a do-it-yourselfer, good for you, but for others budget in the cost of installation.   Above all, make sure you have a good understanding of the return policy in case, well, you realize you need a bigger TV than the one you purchased!

Is the Samsung Frame TV a good purchase? I want the artwork. My husband wants the amazing screen.

Hi Susannah – I was mesmerized when I first saw the Samsung Frame TV in person. It is gorgeous for the two reasons you both have. It looks like a piece of art on the wall and allows many frame choices to match your interior decor. The picture is remarkable. At the moment, the 65 inch model just got a $500 discount. Of the two friends who I know bought one, they love the Frame TV.
