It's no secret that in the weeks leading up to Superbowl Sunday, television sales skyrocket. It's by far the single largest sporting event in the US and everyone wants to have the biggest, baddest TV for their Superbowl party. But what kind of HDTV will make a big difference for the big game? Here's the guide for your ultimate sports HDTV.

The Vizio VW32L (approx. $389) is an inexpensive 720p LCD HDTV. It's certainly not going to wow you with its looks or performance, but this little TV had a few pleasant surprises for an entry-level set.

The LG LE9500 certainly has some nice features working in its favor. It's got local dimming, 480Hz TruMotion, NetCast (online features), DLNA, wireless broadband ready capability, wireless HD ready, 2 USB ports, and it's 3D ready. Sadly, there isn't any info available yet about pricing or release dates.

The 60PK950 is LG's top-of-the-line plasma TV for early 2010. While more attention seems to have been paid to their LED televisions, the PK950 series features a robust internet package and (most likely) 3D display. We're not expecting them to be cheap, but they sure are appealing.

The Sony KDL-32EX308 is an unusual display. Priced at about $530 and available in March, it's one of the few displays at this size and price that offers internet connectivity. So, it will probably appeal to gadget fans on a budget; it has the useful features (such as internet streaming) of its larger cousins, but without the budget-busting price tag.

The KDL-60NX800 is one of Sony's new models for 2010, which was announced at CES. It will be available in February and will be priced at about $4000. That's a little higher than a typical price for a TV of this size, but this HDTV does have a pretty broad feature set: 240Hz motion processing, support for streaming video and audio, and a good selection of connections.
