What Are The Best HDTV's For Your Super Bowl Sunday Party?

The trend is to buy a 1080p HDTV these days, but for Super Bowl Sunday, every broadcaster will be sending a signal that maxes out at 720p or 1080i so 720p sets should suffice. However, 120 Hz refresh rates that reduce motion blur, a much needed feature for sports viewing, is almost always found in 1080p sets. So what should you do? It's really up to you. Pick a 720p set for dollar value or go for a 1080p set that includes all the trimmings such as 120 Hz refresh rates, response times of around 8 ms, and motion estimation motion compensation (MEMC) chips that all play a big part in reducing motion blur typically found in, what else, football games.

Although plasmas offer a bit of a better sports viewing experience, especially if you're in a dark room, LCD's are pretty comparable these days. The LCD TV Association says that right now the best HDTV values are found in 37-inch 720p sets, an important detail if you're looking for the best bang for your buck.

Electronics search engine Retrevo has gone through their own database to come up with the best HDTV's for the Super Bowl and we agree with their recommendations. So, here are some of the best sets you can buy for the Super Bowl:
