One of the best times to buy a new TV is the week or two before the Super Bowl, when manufacturers offer up both new and months-old models at deep discounts. What’s more, brands are now putting soundbars, projectors and speakers on sale as well, so consumers can put together an entire home theater package for a decent price.
“Now is a great time to invest if you are in the market for a new TV,” says John Couling, senior vice president of entertainment at Dolby. “Over the past decade, tremendous advancements in panel technology and supply chain have made getting a great TV much more affordable.”
And when it comes time to set up your new TV, the optimal distance can make your viewing experience a lot more enjoyable. “As a rule of thumb,” Couling says, “images will start to lose detail if the distance between your couch and TV is greater than three times your TV’s vertical picture height.”
If you want to get the most out of your TV’s built-in speakers, Couling explains you’ll want to “make sure your TV is placed or mounted above a table, as most new TVs have downward-facing speakers placed behind the panel.” For using a soundbar, meantime, Couling advises mounting it or setting it “on the edge of your entertainment center instead of sitting flush with the wall.”
