How to Upgrade Your Home Theater Setup Without Breaking the Bank – Soundbars, Wall Mounts & More in Tempe

Upgrading your home theater setup doesn’t have to mean draining your bank account. Whether you’re creating the ultimate movie night experience or just want better sound and a cleaner look, a few smart additions—like a new soundbar, a well-placed wall mount, or a bigger TV—can make a huge impact without costing a fortune.

If you're in Tempe, AZ, and looking for the best deals on TVs, soundbars, and home theater accessories, you're in luck. Here's how to revamp your entertainment space with high-quality gear on a budget, along with some expert tips from the team at Best Deal in Town, Tempe’s go-to electronics store.

Why Upgrade Your Home Theater in the First Place?

Your living room TV setup might work just fine—but “fine” doesn’t mean immersive. Whether it’s clearer dialogue from your favorite shows or booming bass during game day, upgrading your home theater can completely change the way you experience media.

Here are a few signs it’s time to level up:

• You're still using your TV’s built-in speakers (a major downgrade in sound quality)

• Cords and clutter are everywhere

• Your TV is too small for the space (or too low on the stand)

• You’re hosting more movie nights, sports parties, or game marathons

1. Start with a Budget-Friendly Soundbar

Why Soundbars Are a Smart First Upgrade

A soundbar is hands-down the easiest and most cost-effective way to improve your audio. Even budget soundbars can deliver crystal-clear dialogue, better bass, and overall more dynamic sound than built-in TV speakers.

Common Google question:
“Is a soundbar worth it for a small living room?”
Yes! Many soundbars are compact and perfect for smaller spaces. Models with built-in subwoofers give you that cinematic feel without needing a full surround sound system.

At Best Deal in Town, we carry brand-name soundbars at discount prices—Samsung, LG, Vizio, and more—so you can upgrade your setup without overspending.

2. Mount Your TV for Better Viewing and More Space

Wall Mounts: Clean, Safe, and Stylish

A good wall mount does more than save surface space—it helps you achieve the perfect viewing angle, reduces glare, and keeps your expensive TV safe from accidental bumps or spills.

There are several types:

• Fixed mounts – Great for eye-level viewing

• Tilting mounts – Perfect if your TV is placed higher on the wall

• Full-motion mounts – Let you swivel and angle the screen from different parts of the room

Common Google question:
“Can I mount a TV myself?”
You can, but make sure you know where the studs are and use a quality mount. Our team at Best Deal in Town can recommend the right mount for your TV model, and we’ll even help walk you through how to install it safely.

3. Consider Upgrading to a Bigger or Smarter TV

If your screen is starting to feel small—or your streaming apps are loading slowly—it might be time for a new TV. But don’t worry: buying a 4K Smart TV doesn’t have to break the bank.

At Best Deal in Town, we carry:

• Open box and discounted TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio

• Sizes ranging from 32” to 85” and beyond

• All TVs come with a 90-day warranty, and many are priced well below retail

Common Google question:
“What size TV should I get for my living room?”
As a general rule, multiply your viewing distance (in inches) by 0.84. So if you sit 8 feet (96 inches) away, a 75” TV is ideal.

4. Bonus Upgrades to Complete the Experience

HDMI Cables, Media Players, Streaming Boxes, and More

Don’t overlook the little things! The right accessories can make your setup smoother and faster:

• High-speed HDMI cables for 4K video

• Streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, or Fire Stick

• Power surge protectors to protect your investment

• Universal remotes or smart home integrations
