There’s Still Time to Score a Deal Before the Big Game on TVs, Soundbars, More

Word on the street is that there’s some kind of big sports happening this Sunday, perhaps so big that like the elder god Cthulhu we dare not speak its name out loud? And you might be having some people over to watch it? Time is short, but we have some incredible tech deals to make entertaining that much easier, including TVs, projectors, soundbars and more.

It’s not like you really need an excuse to pick up a new TV, but all the stars are aligning right now on the Hisense U6HF. When we reviewed it, we were impressed enough to give it an Editors’ Choice award, saying that the screen delivers “excellent color performance thanks to its use of quantum dots and a local-dimming backlight LCD.” And that praise came when considering the full retail price, so chopping over a hundred bucks off makes it even more impressive. This model comes with Amazon’s robust Fire TV platform built in for Alexa voice control and easy access to all of your favorite content.

If you want to hear every thudding tackle and agonized grunt in crystal-clear audio, it might be time to invest in a soundbar for your TV. There’s only so much that your onboard speakers can handle, and this Sony model is an incredible performer for the price. It connects via Bluetooth or HDMI ARC to any sound source and delivers full-spectrum sound with optional voice enhancement to make dialogue really pop. It’s unobtrusive and can even be mounted on a wall.

And here’s a few more soundbar deals just in case this one isn’t for you.

There comes a point when your TV just seems too small, no matter how big it actually is. If the time has come for you to trade up to something a little bigger, this Walmart deal is unbeatable right now. A 70″ LG panel with $150 savings doesn’t come around often, and this 4K display comes with a plethora of attractive features. The WebOS system is easy to use, and it’s great for gaming with ALLM, eARC and HGiG support and a Game Dashboard to adjust options. Fans love the Sports Alert feature which gives you pop-up updates on your teams in real time.

A big-screen TV is all well and good, but if the party gets too big you’re going to have to get big in response. Having a projector on hand can absolutely transform your sports-watching experience, and it’s great for movies as well. This is Epson’s flagship model, with some incredibly cool features like three-chip LCD image processing, which eliminates rainbow haloing on images. We reviewed it and had nice things to say about its 4,000-lumen brightness rating, sharp focus and native 1080p. There are cheaper projectors out there, but you get you what you pay for.

And are more projector deals sure to make you light up.

It’s not a big game party without refreshments, and if you’re sick of going to the store for bags of ice, it might be time to invest in a dedicated icemaker. This model fits neatly under a standard counter and produces ice at a rapid clip, well able to keep up with even the thirstiest function. It can create 66 pieces of ice in as little as five minutes, and you can even adjust the cube thickness. Check the coupon box on the page to get the $200 discount.
