Summary
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.

A VA panel separates Sony's 2021 X85J and X80J series TVs. Compared to the IPS panel of the entry-level X80J, the X85J in today's spotlight takes advantage of a VA panel's surged contrast ratio and refresh rate. Dolby Vision HDR complements with deepened black shades — a great option for horror fans who prefer the dark room theater experience.

Baby's first 4K TV could come in the form of TCL's 4 Series TV. The 2021 version of the popular budget model offers a pretty sound color range and decent picture, which looks even better when you remember that a 50-inch TV was less than $400. Built-in Roku is another nice touch.
