While you can check out our picks for best TVs, below you'll find our picks for a great Super Bowl picture. Choose the Samsung QN90B if you're looking for a TV for a bright living room with life-like picture. 

Otherwise, the Sony OLED panel listed below is a solid choice for those that want vivid colors in the picture for the Half Time Show.

You're playing music or you're using it to catch the ref's calls during the game, and if you haven't upgraded your sound in a while, perhaps it's time to jump from a 2.1 soundbar to perhaps a 5.1 or even 9.1 surround sound speaker system?

Set the mood thanks to these smart lights

If you're hosting the Super Bowl party, you need the ambience to match, and that's where smart lights come in. You can use your phone or smart home system to adjust the lights and set the mood, and some even play along to music beats. I use smart lights in my home and love how they can set the mood for a spooky movie or can set the mood for any party you're hosting with holiday-themed mood scenes.

If you're a cord cutter, you can still catch the game live on a plethora of streaming services. There are plenty of streaming devices out there that can help you get top-notch picture on your TV, too. If you're into the Amazon smart home system, you should opt for the Fire Stick for synchronizing up your space. However, if you're able to shop around, you can instead pick up the Chromecast stick or the Roku 4K device.
