The Superbowl is meant to be experienced like it would be seen in real life-crisp, clear, and in high definition. Viewing the action from the 50 yard line a row up with one’s buddies is truly a visually stunning experience, so why not bring the same stunning clarity to one’s home? Here one can safely view the action like real life without having to worry about injury or spilling a cold beverage on the person in the next row down. If one wants to seriously treat their friends to a memorable Superbowl experience, then considering purchasing an HD TV for the big day might be the start of a time honored tradition with one’s chums.
What to Buy
Other than being one the biggest day in American sports, the Superbowl is also a giant marketing opportunity for companies to sell to consumers. This means sales and promotions which one should take supreme advantage of when considering purchasing a TV for the big game. Simply put, if you can purchase for cheaper, why not wait until a Superbowl promotion to do so? It is money well saved, and you will be watching that game on a flashy new screen by the time game day rolls around. This will be sure to impress one’s friends, and also ensures that the game is being presented in the best visual clarity possible-right out of the box.
TV as a Display
It is easy to get confused when considering purchasing an HD display in the form of a computer monitor or an HDTV. Both have their respective pros and cons, but it is important to first consider what one primarily uses their computer for before making the investment in viewing the game through one’s computer. If one is primarily using their computer for basic day to day computing needs like writing emails, browsing the net, and using word processing application-basically reading and writing text, then on a HDTV text will often appear fuzzy and misaligned in comparison to highest available resolution computer monitor. On the contrary, if the bulk of one’s computer usage is for entertainment purposes like gaming and watching shows or movies then an HDTV might be the better alternative to an HD computer monitor. As an entertainment system this may take some rearranging of one’s desk and chair(s) for ergonomic purposes, but overall these systems can look and feel great in meeting one’s entertainment needs comfortably. It is crucial that one’s computer can connect to an HDTV cord, which means that one’s computer has the capability of running video out to an HDTV. Here an HDTV is a sure indication that one’s computer has the capacity to do so. An HDMI port also indicates that one’s computer has video to HDTV capabilities. In addition to these adapter requirements, another important technical requirement is if one’s video card can output the resolution required the HDTV in question. Here the cards maximum resolution can be checked by consulting the user’s manual.
