Every year, millions of people gather around their televisions for the Big Game. It’s not just football – it’s food, commercials, halftime shows, and a full-on social event. And for many households, that means upgrading the TV before kickoff.
In fact, TV sales spike every January as families look for bigger, better screens to host their watch parties with. The only challenge? Big-screen TVs can be expensive, and not everyone has the budget to pay upfront. That’s where TV financing options come in, helping you enjoy the Big Game without waiting for your bank account to catch up.
Why the big game deserves a big screen
You’re inviting family and friends over, snacks are on the table, and excitement is building. But if your TV is small, outdated, or unclear, the whole experience falls flat.
That’s why so many people upgrade before the Big Game. A bigger, sharper TV means everyone can see the action clearly – whether it’s the touchdown pass or the surprise halftime performance.
Modern TVs offer big improvements:
4K resolution for crisp detail
OLED technology for brighter colors and deeper blacks
Larger screen sizes that bring stadium-level excitement to your living room
Watching the game on a top-notch screen transforms your home into the ultimate viewing spot.
TV upgrade options at different budgets
The good news is there’s a TV for every price range – and with financing, even the bigger models become realistic options.
Modest big screens. At lower price points, you can find 50- to 55-inch smart TVs with 4K resolution. They’re reliable, offer streaming apps, and are perfect for small to medium living rooms.
Mid-range 4K and OLED TVs. Want to wow your guests? These TVs offer better refresh rates, brighter screens, and more advanced technology. Sizes usually run 55-65 inches, making them great for parties to watch the Big Game.
Premium viewing setups. If you want the full experience, premium options include massive 70-85 inch screens, OLED displays, and theater-like picture quality. Perfect for turning your living room into game-day central.
With TV financing options, all these tiers are more accessible – even if paying upfront isn’t possible.
Comparing TV features
Before you buy, here are the key features to look for in a TV:
Size. Measure your wall or stand space and seating distance. A 65-inch TV is ideal for larger living rooms.
Resolution. 4K is standard today, but OLED takes quality up a notch with better brightness and contrast.
Refresh rate. Look for at least 120Hz for smooth motion during fast plays.
Smart features. Built-in apps like Netflix, Hulu, or sports streaming make it easy to watch without extra devices.
The right combination of features makes all the difference for the Big Game and beyond.
