Deals: Kick Off Football Season with TV Blowouts

You may have been noticing that TVs have been talking a lot about throwing around a weirdly-shaped ball. They use the word "football" to describe it—which can't possibly be true considering that footballs are black, white, and perfectly spherical.

Wise cracks aside, it's finally football season here in America. After waiting many months for your teams to rest up and reset their ranks, most of the country is ecstatic to see it come back. It's why TVs are excited too. They want to get up and running just like your favorite players, so retailers are selling them at lower prices to help out.

Samsung UN46EH5300

The Samsung EH5300 has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not great for large gatherings (unless you all crowd together on one couch), but the picture quality is above average and it comes with Samsung's excellent smart platform. It's not too big at 46 inches either, so if you're looking for an inexpensive TV that will still give you a clear, accurate picture you might want to check this deal from Dell out. Plus, customers get a $125 promotional gift card that they can use towards a future purchase.

Adorama currently has the TV on sale for $849 with free shipping—down from $1,249. You can also save up to $150 on select home theater speaker systems with a purchase.
