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.
LG
OUR TOP PICK: LG 65-inch 2021 Nano80 Series 4K LED Smart TV (65NANO80UPA) — $999.99 (save $100)
LG builds on its NanoCell tech, which concentrates on color depth through an extra light filter, in an upgraded line of mid-range 4K TVs for 2021. For the price, the Nano80 series offers impressive viewing angles and active HDR for a crisp experience customized to whatever you’re watching.

Sony
OUR TOP PICK: Sony 55-inch X90J Series 4K LED Smart TV (XR55X90J) — $1,298 (save $201.99)
Another 2021 Sony model in the sale spotlight: Despite a mere one number difference in the model numbers, the Sony X90J is a completely different TV than the budget X80J. Its VA panel supplies heightened contrast ratios versus the X80J’s IPS panel, plus full array local dimming for deepened black shades.
Hisense, Vizio, and more
OUR TOP PICK: TCL 65-inch 6-Series 4K QLED Smart TV (65R635) — $1,080.99 (save $219)
TCL’s 2021 6-Series deserves a shout-out for packing such high quality into such a bargain. Bright colors, sizzling HDR, and Dolby Vision to create powerful imagery that was once reserved for pricier big brands. It’s a reliable content upscaler that makes for a great baby’s first QLED TV.
