No one should have to guess what’s going on in that dark scene of The Handmaid’s Tale. Since 2020, TV manufacturers have been pumping out large, affordable 4K panels at a wicked fast pace — which means watching your favorite content with punchy colors, decipherable shadows, and smooth transitions doesn’t have to be reserved for the movie theater. Each weekend, we’ll be compiling a list of our favorite 4K and QLED TV deals from Samsung, LG, Sony, and more.
Samsung
OUR TOP PICK: Samsung 85-inch QN85A Neo QLED Quantum 4K HDR Smart TV (QN85QN85AAFXZA) — $3,497.99 (save $1,002)
Neo QLED technology replaces traditional backlit panels with Quantum Mini LEDs that take up a fraction of the space that the old ones do. The extra room to pack more LEDs creates more nuance and precision, which are customizable (brightness, contrast, and warmth-wise) based on whether you’re watching a movie or something like live sports.
