When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Why drop the "bigger"? Bigger and better is the actual expression and it's hardly unusual /But better is definitely not just a colloquial variation of bigger

The "actual" expression is many, which is why I'm merely offering a variation the author might find useful for whatever his purposes are. You are also free to offer your own suggestion as a separate response.

: "Better" is not a synonym of "bigger" and this is a company's advertising motto so you cannot change it to something else

: Better is different to bigger. The phrase is so simple and unambiguous that there's no point in suggesting anything else.

: Depending on the context in which it is being used, 'bigger' may not necessarily mean 'better' (like when "less is more")

My thought:
Formerly they had made good sales and success.
So, they improved the anterior success.
Please explain. It will be interesting to see how you got to that.
I would imagine it means that they had stopped selling TVs for a certain period of time (insolvency, marketing strategy, etc.) but now here they are again with a new range etc.
'Bigger' may as you suggest indicate 'greater', though probably not so much that as either 'selling larger-screen models than they did previously', or possibly 'with a bigger range of models to choose from' — it might in fact not have any real literal sense at all.
This is not exactly an 'idiom' as such, but a common construction with various combinations of qualifiers.
"I think this title is not exactly related to its relevant text, and this seems to be something like an idiom."
We need more context to understand exactly what they mean by "back" and "bigger".
