It’s that time again, when the Chiefs somehow back their way into another Super Bowl and even your famous 13-layer dip won’t be enough to spice up your get-together. You need a plan. The best solution for a better show is a better screen, and with a new TV release cycle on the horizon, now’s a great time to save big on the best TVs still on the shelf. Not every sale is worthy, so we’ve dug through the muck to find the best deals around. Whether you’re after a mondo-size budget buy or a baller OLED with all the fixings, these are the best Super Bowl TV deals around.
Hisense’s U7N is our favorite TV for most folks thanks to its punchy, well-rounded performance. While not without a few flaws, this value-packed TV provides an ultra-bright screen with quantum dots for vivid colors and excellent backlight control to keep light bleed to a minimum. Gamers will love its dual HDMI 2.1 inputs for a variable refresh rate (VRR) of up to 144 Hz, while the Google TV interface makes setup and streaming simple and swift. The 65-inch model I tested will cost you around $700 on sale, but this 75-inch model is an even better relative deal, offering a bigger screen for the “big game.” You can find out more in our full Hisense U7N Review.
Roku’s Pro Series (7/10, WIRED Recommends) steps up from the solid Plus Series to prove that the brand known for its sweet software can hold its own with the best midrange TVs in the biz. You’ll get all the hits, including deep black levels, solid brightness, and quantum dots for lifelike colors, as well as a 120-Hz refresh primed for fast-paced content and gaming features like VRR. The best reason to grab the Pro Series is its usability, led by our favorite smart interface, Roku OS, and conveniences like a button on the side of the screen that calls your remote when it falls between the seat cushions. Like nearly all LED TVs, there are a few flaws like middling off-axis viewing, but this is a great screen for its price, especially on sale, and its loads of features make it a joy to use.
Perhaps the best deal on our list is a TV I reviewed back in 2023, but it’s still one of the top screens you can buy. As LG’s mid-tier OLED, the C-series melds premium performance with serious value, especially on a good sale. This 77-inch model provides miles of gorgeous OLED real estate marked by perfect black levels, natural yet entrancing colors, and impressive brightness for thrilling contrast that draws you in. You’ll also get the top gaming features across all four HDMI 2.1 inputs and LG’s Magic Remote for simplified Wii-style control. This is a luxury screen in every sense of the word that will leave you mesmerized by every image, from the top plays on the field to the dumbest commercials. At this price, it’s a serious deal that’s hard to pass up.
If you’re looking for a premium picture that’s especially primed for bright-room viewing, look no further than Samsung’s QN90D (8/10, WIRED Recommends). This screen beams with brightness, alongside impressive quantum dot colors, crystal clear picture processing, and tight backlight control for a dynamic viewing experience. Compared to the more budget-forward LED TVs on our list, the QN90D offers improved screen uniformity and off-axis viewing for a more balanced performance that better competes with OLED. The TV’s backlight control can be a little sluggish and Samsung (annoyingly) doesn’t support Dolby Vision, but as I said in my review, this is one of my favorite screens for wasting a perfectly good Sunday watching football. It’s kismet!
We couldn’t create this list without pulling out at least one ultra-big screen. Enter TCL’s QM7 (6/10, WIRED Reviewed), which is now offered in a nutty 98-inch size for just under two grand. That’s projector-like real estate in a screen that provides rich black levels, burstingly bright quantum dot colors, and impressive overall punch. I had an issue in my review unit where the SDR picture settings were affecting HDR, hence the lower score. It doesn’t seem to be widespread, however, and otherwise the QM7 is one of the best TVs I’ve tested in its class, offering a mix of great features, surprisingly good screen uniformity, and great 4K detail for the money. If you’re willing to take a chance on the software, this could be the big-budget buy you’ve been after.
