10 things you need to throw an amazing Super Bowl 2023 party

We tune in for it all — the football, the halftime show, and the commercials (we especially love the car commercials). Whether you’re enjoying the game alone or with a huge party, a good setup will elevate the viewing experience. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite things to pair with pizza, beer, and wings for a super Super Bowl 2023 viewing party.

TVs

When purchasing a TV, it’s good to consider what you’ll be using it for so you can select the technical specs that will best support your needs. Sports, like football, have a lot of movement. To help reduce motion blur (you can’t eliminate it) you’ll want a TV for your Super Bowl party with a higher refresh rate (60 to 120 Hz) anything higher (240Hz or more) isn’t worth the huge price markup.

SAMSUNG 65-Inch Class QLED Q80B Series - $1,197.99 (14% off)

This QLED from Samsung has a refresh rate of 120Hz. It’s expensive, but if you’re looking for a high-end option the Samsung QLED series is near the top of the mountain. If you’re looking to make the leap to 8K be prepared to pay even more.

Sony 65 Inch 4K Ultra HD TV X80K Series - $698.00 (30% off)

Not “cheap” but certainly a more affordable option at under $700, this 65-inch Sony has great reviews. It has a 60Hz refresh rate, so it won’t be as good as the Samsung at reducing motion blur, but most viewers likely won’t even notice.

Amazon Fire TV 50" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV - $319.99 (32% off)

You’ll sacrifice a little bit on size, but this 50-inch Amazon Fire TV is one of the better deals currently on Amazon.

Sound bars

Most TVs offer a fine out-of-the-box sound for most viewers, but to really add dimension to your Super Bowl parties you’ll want a dedicated sound system. From a full-on surround sound system with subwoofer, amp, and six speakers to one simple bluetooth-enabled sound bar, there are a ton of ways to create a more complete audio-visual experience.

JBL Bar 2.1 - Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer - $239.95 (33% off)

There’s no use in spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a TV if you’re going to experience the game through the TV's tiny built-in speakers. That’s where a sound bar, or better yet, surround sound system comes in. This 2.1 option from JBL isn’t cheap, but half of watching TV is the sound, so why skimp on quality?

VIZIO M-Series 5.1 Premium Sound Bar - $328.00

While having a subwoofer and a sound bar is much better than what your TV comes with, 5.1 surround sound will make you feel like you should be wearing cleats.
