Best Samsung TV Deals

How To Shop and Save on Samsung TVs

Samsung is known as one of the top TV brands, a fact confirmed by sites like Consumer Affairs and Digital Trends . The brand’s stellar reputation can mean premium prices (making those no-name, cheaper brands quite appealing), but studies from Consumer Reports find that the major TV brands typically outperform smaller, less expensive brands when tested.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t get a Samsung TV on sale for a great price. Here at DealNews, we find the best deals on Samsung TVs, so you can get a quality set at a price you can afford. This guide will cover information on selecting your Samsung TV, and finding some savings in the process.

Types of Samsung TVs

Samsung sells the following types of TVs:

QLED

This stands for Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode. These are LCD TVs with quantum dot technology that “delivers over a billion shades of color that stay true-to-life without washing out at any level of brightness,” according to Samsung.

  • QLED 8K : 4320p resolution with 8K AI upscaling
  • QLED 4K : 2160p resolution

Specialty QLED models

  • The Frame : Designed to look like a framed art, and turns into art when the TV is off via Art Mode
  • The Terrace : Intended for use in outdoor spaces with resistance to water and dust
  • The Serif : Includes an easel floor stand and features an I-shaped design and Ambient Mode
  • The Sero : Mobile-friendly TV with a rotating screen for landscape or portrait mode

4K UHD

  • Crystal UHD : Utilizes a Crystal Processor 4K that upscales everything watched to 4K and features a more vivid display compared to conventional Samsung sets
  • UHD : 2160p resolution sets with 4K UHD processors

HD TVs

  • Full HD 1080p resolution models
  • HD 720p resolution models

Choosing a Samsung TV

These are the main TV specifications to consider:

Size

Besides personal preferences for the TV size you want, keep budget in mind, as well as where the TV will be used. Samsung offers a guide to picking the right size TV for more assistance.

Resolution

This is the number of pixels the TV will display in width x height. Larger numbers generally mean a sharper and clearer picture. Samsung TVs feature the following:

  • 8K (7,680 x 4,320)
  • 4K (3,840 x 2,160)
  • 1080p (1,920 x 1,080)
  • 720p (1,366 x 1,768)

Anything above 720p is considered high definition. Going higher in resolution tends to matter more if the TV is larger. It also matters whether what you watch is available in that resolution. For instance, there isn’t much 8K content available yet, so it relies more on the TV upscaling 4K or HD at this time.

HDR

This stands for High Dynamic Range. This feature affects the contrast between the light and dark colors that the TV screen produces. You can find out more details in our What Is HDR? Blog article. Samsung TVs feature Quantum or standard HDR in many of their models.

Smart Capabilities

You’d be hard-pressed to find a Samsung TV that isn’t smart. Compatible Samsung Smart TVs work with SmartThings to utilize connected devices around the home. Voice control is available through Samsung’s virtual assistant, Bixby . With Smart Hub, you can access content and apps, including Samsung TV Plus . This ad-supported video service is available on most 2016 or later models and features over 120 live TV channels for free (no credit card, additional device, or download required).

Inputs

One of the major considerations when buying a TV is how many HDMI inputs you’ll need, as well as the number of USB ports.

Flat or Curved

Most Samsungs are flat TVs , but there are also curved models to choose from if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there coupon codes for Samsung TVs?

Some of the stores that sell Samsung TVs either do not offer coupon codes, or their codes don’t apply to this item type. So, it’s more about locating the best Samsung TV sale prices.

That said, it’s always worth a quick check before making a purchase. We’ve seen coupon codes work for Samsung TVs at stores like eBay, Rakuten, BuyDig, and World Wide Stereo. These only apply to very specific models in some cases.

How do I know I’m getting a deal on my Samsung TV?

These are price lows we’ve found for Samsung TVs in common sizes. This information can be used as a point of reference if getting the lowest price is the main factor in your purchase.

The lowest prices we’ve seen don’t represent deals on the higher-end models Samsung offers, and they aren’t always available. For instance, some deals may be more readily available around Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.

For a wider variety of price points, be sure to check all of the best Samsung TV deals here at DealNews. We do the research to ensure it’s the lowest current price for the model featured in the deal.

Can I finance my Samsung TV?

Samsung offers TV special financing of 0% for 36 months with equal payments for qualifying customers. Plus, the Samsung TV Upgrade Program allows for getting the latest model after 24 months. With the new TV purchase, you’ll get an upgrade credit (a maximum of 33% of the initial financed amount) and you can keep the current set as well.
