iPad Air 4 vs. iPad Pro 11

With the release of the iPad Air 4, Apple blurred the line between its midrange tablet offering and the more expensive and feature-rich iPad Pro 11. At one time, the two models of iPad looked quite different. Yet, with the iPad Air 4 and iPad Pro 11 (second generation) now sporting nearly identically-sized displays with Apple’s Liquid Retina technology, at first glance, they might appear to be the same product. However, under the surface, the two tablets provide their varied offerings. We take a look at both models in this comprehensive roundup.

Best Super Bowl TV deals 2021: Cheap 4K TVs, QLED TVs, and OLED TVs
Super Bowl 2020 TVs.

Super Bowl 2021 is right around the corner, and although you might have heard that this year's big game isn't being broadcast in 4K, there are still good reasons to get a 4K TV for the event. Many 4K TVs have the ability to upscale content, where video which arrives at a lower resolution is processed by the TV so it can be displayed in 4K -- and all this happens in real time! So even when you receive a signal in Full HD, you can still enjoy the appearance of a 4K picture, as long as your TV supports upscaling. Make the game look even better with the newest TV technology!

For the best experience, you'll want a TV that supports 4K and which comes with a powerful processor for that upscaling. The good news is, there are plenty of options on the market that meet these criteria, like our top pick for a Super Bowl TV deal: The 65-inch LG NanoCell 4K TV, available at Walmart for over $300 off, bringing the price down to $897. It has a beautiful, colorful display, support for 4K, smart software, and an Alpha7 Gen 3 Processor for that all-important 4K upscaling.
