was sensational. this is the packers team we thought we'd see before the 4 game skid..and the plethora of injuries.

holiday season? we've got good news: screen sizes are bigger than ever, and prices keep falling. consumer reports is out with some helpful tv-buying advice. jenna sachs has the details in this contact 6 report.

he says theres only one way to find the set thats right for you. "lotta research." experts at consumer reports have done their research and expect to see major tv brands like samsung, lg, and sony as part of some holiday deals. in the past, those deals have mostly included only budget brands like tcl, hisense and westinghouse. "some of the lesser brands have been really aggressive both in the 1080p and 4k markets. what thats done is put a lot of pricing pressure on the major brands." that means your for example, for 500 dollars, you should be able to get a 40-inch 4k ultra hd tv from a top-performing brand, something that would have cost you nearly twice as much just a few years ago. "as the tv industry matures, as new features come into the marketplace, at first theyre expensive. then they become less expensive as they, you know, get rolled out into mainstream models." thats why for 750 dollars you should be able to buy a higher tier 50-inch 4k ultra hd set from a major brand, which consistently do better in

brands. spend a little more and youll likely get a larger screen and more of the latest features including better video processing and hdr or high dynamic range which can yield better contrast and more realistic looking images. because most people keep their tvs for 7- 10 years, consumer reports says its worth it to spend that extra hundred or hundred and fifty dollars if it means getting a higher-quality tv. i'm jenna sachs contat partnering with "shielded hearts" to help kids in need this holiday season. shielded hearts is a non-profit organization for police officers' wives and girlfriends. today chief ed flynn joined them for a special news conference. they're "rounding up" new toys, books and stuffed animals for the child advocacy center-- which helps abused and neglected kids in milwaukee county.
