New Flat Screens Make Football Season Larger than Life

Fall is here and football season is officially upon us! Whether you’re rooting for the 49ers or the Patriots, fans from coast to coast will agree that watching the game on the right TV makes a huge difference. These flat screens may not affect the final score but they’ll certainly amplify the enjoyment factor! Regardless of your budget, feel like you’re stepping into the game with incredible clarity, vivid color and superior sound quality.

Samsung 8 Series LED TVs

Samsung’s newest lineup of LED TVs is pummeling the competition. How are they doing it? 7,000,000:1 to 5,000,000:1 Mega Contrast (depending on the unit you select) provides a dramatic range of brightness and Advanced Color Processing brings out show-stopping color even in the lightest hues. As if that’s not enough, the 8 Series offers the absolute highest level of motion blur protection. Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology tackles distorted images so the quickest plays are captured with ultimate accuracy. All these picture-perfecting features are available in Samsung’s slimmest design yet – a shockingly slender 1.2 to 1.6 inches deep. Prices run from $3,099.99 for a 46 inch model and $4,499.99 for a 55 inch model.

Sony BRAVIA LCD HDTVs

If you’re looking for a mid-priced product but don’t want to skimp on quality (who would!) look no further. There are several high-rated Sony BRAVIA LCD HD TVs well under $2,000 with outstanding features that are guaranteed to leave any sports fan satisfied. The 46 inch BRAVIA S Series LCD HDTV provides 1080p resolution, an Advanced Contrast Enhancer for top-notch clarity and more all for $1,099.99. In addition to Motionflow 120Hz technology for reduced blur and full HD 1080 resolution, be part of team green with the 46 inch BRAVIA VE5 Eco Series LCD HDTV. This TV, priced at $1,599.99, is an excellent buy for eco-friendly fans boasting a high-efficiency HCFL backlight that not only offers exceptional brightness but cuts power consumption in half. Plus this model automatically shuts off when you’ve been away from the game for a while thanks to an integrated Presence Sensor.

Panasonic Veria® X1 Series

This series of plasma flat screens still creates an amazing entertainment experience but the price tag is pint-sized in comparison – less than $1,000 in fact! With a dynamic contrast of 2,000,000:1 and an advanced AR filter that keeps images unbelievably crisp you may complain about the referee but certainly not the picture quality. Another great feature when hosting a Super Bowl party or for the fan that simply can’t sit still when the score is tied the Panasonic Veria® X1 Series’ color viewing angles keep the color intensity the same no matter where you’re sitting…or pacing. Right now the 42 inch TC-P42X1 is priced at only $749.95 and the 50 inch model, TC-P50X1, is $999.95.
