Super Bowl 50: Don’t Buy A New TV, CBS Not Offering Ultra HD

According to industry analysts Parks Associates, 330 million 4K UHD TVs will have been sold worldwide by the end of 2019. By 2020, almost every TV set in California and New York will be 4K compatible.

So why haven’t CBS and the NFL done something to enhance the viewer coverage? It’s baffling, to say the least. The 2014 FIFA World Cup set a benchmark with Ultra HD coverage. In fact, even NBA TV and the NFL Network caters to Ultra HD coverage (when streamed from a device to the TV).
