LG OLED TV

It has more than 8 million pixels in its screen, so you couldn’t have a clearer picture if you tried! Best of all, the screen is so thin, it doesn’t feel like it’s over-facing your living space.

5.0 SONOS SURROUND SET

Rather than wrapping around the TV, two of the speakers can go either side of your couch, making you feel like you’re actually there.You can even change the sound quality depending on what room you’re watching the game in. Just point your speakers towards the edge of your room and Sonos will gauge the rough size and layout to make sure it’s giving the best sound possible to fill the space.

PHILIPS HUE SMART LIGHTS

They let you program your lighting to match your mood so you can have white for daytime, blue for evenings and red for game time. You can also set timers on the lights, brightening the room for half time and dipping darker automatically when the game’s about to start. The lights have internet capability, so you can even change your lights to match the weather outside.

GOOGLE NEST HUB

The last thing you're going to want to do is waste time wandering around, setting everything up - and that's where the Google Nest Hub comes in. You can control everything without even having to leave the couch! Whether it's turning off the volume, dimming the lights, or playing your 'Superbowl playlist', the Nest Hub has your back.

FIZZICS WAYTAP BEER DISPENSER
