    Is It Worth It?:聽Not long ago the thought of owning a 60" TV was out of the question for most of us. Today, with many 60" sets comfortably under $1,000, it's not completely impossible and the 60" Vizio E601i-A3 is a prime example. Large in everything except price,聽聽calls it a "great choice for a big HDTV," despite its modest black levels. Features include built-in WiFi with support for VIZIO Internet Apps, a 120Hz refresh rate, LED backlighting, and four HDMI ports.

    Is It Worth It?:聽The Super Bowl won't be shown in 4K, but for early adopters who still want the latest in TV technology, Seiki's 55" SE55UY04 is $700 cheaper than competing 4K TVs. It lacks the streaming capabilities found in most TVs this size, but it boasts a 3840x2160 native resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, LED backlighting, and three HDMI ports.


  3. Store:聽Best Buy

    Is It Worth It?:聽The 65" Samsung UN65FH6001FXZA is a dream TV for any Super Bowl party. It may lack WiFi and Smart TV capabilities, but by forgoing those features it comes in at a price that won't leave you with an equally-sized credit card bill. The TV features 1080p resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, LED backlighting, and two HDMI ports.


  4. Store:聽Best Buy
    Price:聽$349.99聽with聽free shipping

    Is It Worth It?:聽Name-brand 42" TVs rarely get cheaper than this. Featuring 1080p resolution and LED backlighting, this Editors' Choice TV is back for its third consecutive week. It packs all the basics you could want in a 42" TV including a 120Hz refresh rate, USB connectivity, and three HDMI ports.


  5. Store:听奥补濒尘补谤迟

    Is It Worth It?:聽Traditionally off-brand TVs cost less than their name-brand counterparts, and this Sanyo is indeed $1 cheaper than the above-mentioned Sharp. However, it lacks LED backlighting. Otherwise, it offers 1080p resolution and three HDMI ports.
