Samsung QN90C 55-inch 4K mini-LED TV: was $1,499.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy
Samsung's top mini-LED TV is getting a nice $500 price cut in Best Buy's Memorial Day sale. The QN90C is about as bright as TVs get, and its anti-glare screen makes it a fantastic option for daytime sports viewing. In our Samsung QN90C review we admired not just its bright, refined picture, but also its gaming features, which include 4 HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support and Samsung’s Gaming Hub for cloud-based gaming. This is a big deal on a big-screen TV.
TCL QM8 Class 65-inch 4K mini-LED TV: was $1,199.99 now $899.99 at Best Buy
TCL's flagship TV has hit a near-record-low price in this Memorial Day TV deal. The QM8 Class is a high-brightness mini-LED model packed with features such as an anti-glare screen and both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support. We admired its handling of sports, games, and movies in our TCL QM8 Class review, and would strongly suggest you grab this great deal on the 65-inch model.
Hisense U8K 65-inch 4K mini-LED TV: was $999.99 now $899.99 at Best Buy
Hisense's U8K series is a budget-friendly alternative to pricier mini-LED-backlit QLED TVs from Samsung and Sony, and this deal on the 65-inch model lops $100 off the already discounted price. In our Hisense U8K review we praised its bright picture and impressive black levels, and also found it to be a great gaming option with 4K 144Hz, VRR, and FreeSync Premium Pro support.
Samsung Q80C 65-inch QLED 4K TV: was $1,299.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy
Samsung's QLED 4K TV may have been easily overlooked because of all the great mini-LED and QD-OLED sets launched this year, but at this low price, it's hard to ignore. The Q80C has steadily dropped in price since launching but this deal brings it close to its record low price. Don't delay jumping on this savings.
