Super Bowl LVIII is coming up fast, with less than a week until the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

What is the best TV to watch the Super Bowl?
Here are a few important things to consider, and you can use these same guidelines the next time you go out and pick up another new TV – which hopefully won't have to be anytime soon, for your wallet's sake.
Screen size: A larger screen will give you a more immersive experience, but it should be balanced with how far you'll be sitting from the screen. Be sure you have the space for it.
Resolution: Look for a TV with at least 4K resolution for sharp, detailed images. These TVs offer four times the resolution of a standard 1080p HD TV, which makes them perfect for large screens and close viewing distances. That way you can see everything that's going on during the game.
Refresh rate: The refresh rate measures how many times per second the image is re-loaded on the screen. A higher refresh rate (such as 120Hz) means much smoother motion, which is best for fast-paced sports. This reduces motion blur and makes the game easier to follow.
HDR (High Dynamic Range): HDR TVs offer better contrast, brightness, and colors compared with non-HDR TVs. This means you'll get a more vivid and realistic picture, making the Super Bowl broadcast look and feel better than it would otherwise when viewing from home. Look for TVs supporting HDR10 or Dolby Vision for the best HDR.
Smart features: Make sure your TV supports the app or service broadcasting what you want to see, whether it's a network app, cable provider app, or a streaming service like Hulu or YouTube TV. Beyond the Super Bowl, you can watch your favorite shows and movies without having to buy a separate streaming device.
Sound quality: Sound plays a big part in the overall experience. Consider a TV with good built-in speakers, or plan to invest in a soundbar or surround-sound system to make the game sound as great as it looks.
