Tomorrow is the big day…well, for most. Because it’s Super Bowl 52. I know some aren’t watching for social/political reasons. Also, many don’t like either team. But in this city and around our computer service shop, we can’t wait! Let’s give you some technology Super Bowl tips.
Of course, we have to start with the TV. In the IT support community, many brag about the 65-inch Sony Bravia 4K OLED smart TV. Most brag about the design. It also helps that it comes easel style: you can angle it on almost any furniture. Furthermore, the jacks and manual make it fairly easy to install, by smart TV standards at least. Then there’s this bonus: the screen is the speaker system! One less expense to cross off. Yes, it’s compatible with Google assistant and Alexa. But this ain’t cheap. If you get this screen at $2,000, then you’re getting it at a good deal.
But you don’t have $2,000 to spend on a TV; but you want good speakers. This is where Sonos comes in. For as little as $150, it works with about every kind of option available, from Spotify to Tidal (wait…they’re still in business?!) Plus, they provide volume all throughout the house, even backyard. Yep, catch every play, even in the bathroom. It works well with voice control too. Now not everyone is happy to see Justin Timberlake perform the halftime show. And you may want to hang out after the Super Bowl (here in Mass., some schools and businesses are opening late Monday, or not at all). This would be a good time for You Tube Red to watch a movie or TV show. It’s also a great time for that retro video game console. Those will run you under $100.
I could go on and on, but I’m sure you have your own game plan. What are some of your technology super bowl tips?
