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 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) — $3,597.99 (save $902)
Neo QLED is a new, smaller type of QLED introduced by Samsung in early 2021. The traditional backlit panel has been traded for Quantum Mini LEDs that take up about .025% of the size — offering room for extra LEDs to create more nuance, precision, and customization of warmth and contrast based on what you're watching. Samsung's Quantum HDR 24X also helps to saturate colors without the spectrum getting muddied or losing its luminance.
