Overview
- Retailers and marketplaces have rolled out large promotions and extended financing, with discounts up to about 40–43% and offers of up to 24 interest-free installments to capture pre-World Cup demand.
- Sales of Smart TVs have jumped, driven by buyer interest in larger screens and performance features such as 4K resolution, HDR support and higher refresh rates, while projectors are being promoted as a lower-cost way to get very large images.
- Mexico’s Profeco tested 49 LED and Smart TV models and found most performed well on picture and sound but flagged incomplete warranties and user manuals for several brands, with only three models earning an overall “Excellent” rating.
- Experts recommend tuning TVs for sports by using manufacturer ‘sports’ or AI modes, checking refresh rate (60–120 Hz), keeping viewing distance near 1.5–2.5× the screen diagonal, and adding a soundbar for clearer stadium-like audio.
- Shoppers should read full warranty and instruction documents, confirm service and spare-part support, buy from formal retailers when using aggressive financing, and consider a projector if they want very large viewing without premium TV prices.
