OLED TV prices have dropped in the past few years. However, 8K TVs have generally remained very expensive. But leave it to Best Buy to start the 8K TV price wars.
For a limited time, you can get the 55-inch Samsung QN700B Neo QLED 8K TV for just $999 at Best Buy (Opens in a new tab). That’s $1,000 off and one of the best TV deals right now. Although we’ve seen 8K TVs for $999 before, they’re still a rarity.
It should be noted that there are not many compelling reasons to buy an 8K TV. With little content other than trekking and nature videos, 8K is a somewhat ghostly format. However, if you’re interested in 8K but have been put off by the pricing, this deal might be for you.
First, let’s start by saying that the crown for the best 8K TV on the market currently belongs to the Samsung QN900A Neo QLED. Samsung’s latest QN900C Neo QLED is designed to replace it with multiple upgrades. However, Samsung’s 900 Series TVs have a high asking price, and the Samsung QN700B Neo QLED on sale today is the more affordable alternative.
Using Quantum Dot technology, the Samsung QN700B Neo QLED promises superior brightness and color gamut. Dolby Atmos support was missing from the Samsung QN900A Neo QLED, but this time you don’t have to worry – this time it’s included and offers even more engaging 3D sound. Using the Slim One Connect Box maintains the look of this TV, and makes cable management easier, too.
This TV runs on Tizen OS, and has access to all the best streaming apps, from Disney Plus to Netflix to Prime Video. The downside is that these streaming services don’t offer much in the way of 8K content yet, but this TV’s processor can upscale 4K content to 8K. The QN700B also supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and SmartThings, so you’ll be able to control your TV with your voice and integrate it with your other smart devices.
The Samsung QN700B Neo QLED is now one of the most affordable ways to bring 8K pictures into your home, so now is the time to pick one up if you’re thinking of making the leap to 8K. Are you looking for more options? Be sure to stay tuned for our coverage of 8K TV deals.
