How to save up to $2,000 on Samsung's 85-inch 8K smart TV
Need a large, fancy TV to catch your favorite Hallmark Christmas movies this year? There is no need to wait for a great deal thanks to Discover Samsung Week, who is offering up to $2,000 off a powerful 8K TV. The Samsung Neo QN900B QLED 8K Smart TV dropped to $5,499, saving you 30% off the typical $7,499 retail price.
This 2022 85-inch QLED display comes with an Infinity Screen and an almost invisible bezel, and is imbued with Samsung's Quantum Matrix Technology Pro, a grid of specialized LEDs to display a billion colors with precision, improving colors and contrast. The tech giant has also implemented an AI-backed processor, managing 20 neural networks, to develop a display far more immersive than 4K builds.

Display sizes range from 65-inches to a massive 85-inches -- with prices to match. While an 85" television is likely overkill for many of us, and 4K is currently the typical resolution new smart TVs are offered with, 8K is the future of television. 8K TVs feature crisp, vibrant colors, clarity, and improved depth. While they are, indeed, expensive, with the upscaling millions of pixels offers, a purchase now will future-proof your viewing for years to come.
This TV is arguably one of the best TVs on the market right now -- and was our top pick for our list of best 8K TVs. Not only did we take into account its surround-sound, room-filling Dolby Atmos software integration, but we also really liked the 144Hz refresh rate for gaming and streaming.
If this sounds like the TV for you, be sure to add it to your cart today. We can't guarantee that this sale will last for very long, as $2,000 in savings is a great deal for one of the best TVs out there right now.
