And as the pass is nearly complete, the end zone in sight, it happens. Nope, not a touchdown. Your old, fuzzy big screen shorts out with a buzz, right at the best part of the game. Let's play some football? Not so much. Your offseason may have just begun.
If you want to avoid a room full of awkward silence save for the sound of munching on burgers and wings, it might be time for a new TV.
And though the words "new tv" are both exciting and horrifying – thanks to improved quality and a high price tag, respectively – it doesn't have to be a bank-breaking decision.
Instead, you can grab a 60-inch or 64-inch smart TV from Walmart for under $500. Touchdown.
Right now, the retailer is offering two different Hisense models for $150 cheaper than their usual price tag.
The Hisense 60-inch UHD Smart DLED TV makes for an optimal viewing experience. It's got four times more pixels (8.3 million) than the standard high-definition TV, meaning it comes equipped with bright colors and rich contrast. The series also features award-winning sound capabilities due to its dbx-tv digital audio technology. It also comes with built-in apps.
Usually, it costs $548, but right now, it's $398.
The Hisense 65-inch UHD Smart DLED TV can do all of the above, but bigger. It has a little bit more width to provide you with an even larger viewing capacity. Smart TV apps, a USB port, three HDMI inputs, and even more resolution all make it a noteworthy binge-viewing essential.
You can choose whether to get the TV shipped or pick it up in a nearby store. Either way, consider your watch parties back on track.
