Tracking down a reliable, well-rounded 50-inch 4K TV from a big-brand manufacturer for less than $300 is difficult, but not impossible. Far from it, in fact. The trick is to rummage through the discount bin. There, you can find a new, smart-infused television being sold for a fraction of its usual price. Just look at this 50-inch Samsung NU6900. Usually $430, the 4K TV is on sale right now at Walmart for just $280 — a total savings of $150.

The 50-inch Samsung NU6900 hasn’t been discounted because its days are numbered, though. First launched in 2018, it’s equipped with the latest version of the company’s TizenOS smart software, offering one-click access to all of the leading streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, and even supports HDR10+, the current take on Samsung’s HDR standard, which can be called upon to draw additional detail from the scene at hand.

There isn’t much more to it. This is because the 50-inch Samsung NU6900 was designed with the average consumer in mind, appealing to the average consumer looking for a television that can tune into the latest must-see show through a streaming service out of the box — no additional hardware required. Being a Samsung, it’s also built with endurance in mind, so it’s bound to stand the test of time, surviving for at least the next half-decade.

Of course, with Christmas set to arrive next week, there’s a good chance you’re a little strapped for cash. That’s where Walmart comes in. The retailer is offering the 50-inch Samsung NU6900 through its flexible 12-month installment scheme, which can see it at the center of your home entertainment setup for as little as $28 per month. Have a bit more to spare? You have the choice to increase the payment to clear the balance faster.

Not sold? Here’s what one satisfied customer had to say:

I’ve had this TV for several months now. I thought my previous TV had died so I bought this. Turns out the cable box from Comcast died and I didn’t even need a new TV but this one is so nice, I kept it instead of returning it. The picture is amazing. The sound is excellent. Setup was easy as could be.

If you’re after something a bit different, there are several other 4K TV deals available, including a 55-inch Toshiba Fire TV Edition for $350, a 65-inch Samsung NU6900 for $480, a 65-inch curved Samsung RU7300 for $620, a 70-inch Vizio V-Series for $700, a 75-inch LG UM7970PUB for $750, a 65-inch Samsung Q60R QLED for $1,000, a 75-inch Sony X800G for $1,400, and a 65-inch Sony Master Series A9G OLED for $3,300.

Google TV Streamer vs. Onn 4K Pro
Google TV Streamer alongside Onn 4K Pro and Chromecast With Google TV.

We now have two new contenders in 2024 to take the top spot for the best Google TV device you can buy. (You Nvidia Shield folks pipe down over there -- that thing’s almost as old as I am.) Google TV Streamer -- which replaces Chromecast with Google TV -- and the Walmart-exclusive Onn 4K Pro.

These are very similar devices. Both run the Google TV operating system, which means they basically do the exact same thing in the exact same way.

Should you upgrade to tvOS 18 right away?
The rear of Apple TV 4K.

Another year has come and gone, and that means we’re getting new major versions of Apple’s operating systems. Enter: tvOS 18. It’s probably not what you’d consider to be a huge update. I’ve been using it in its various beta forms for a while now, and you’re not going to see it and feel out of place or anything. But there are some new features.

But that brings up a good question, which is something worth asking anytime there’s a major update: Should up go ahead and update to tvOS 18? There are two camps on this sort of thing.
The case against updating
There are some folks who exercise a good deal of patience when it comes to updates. They hold off and see what other folks experience first. They’re not in a hurry for the latest and greatest features. They don’t see a software update and feel compelled by some invisible hand to click that install button just as quickly as possible.

8K TV: everything you need to know about television’s future
A Samsung 85-inch 8K hangs on a living room wall.

You've undoubtedly heard of 8K TV. It's been around for a while, but when it first appeared to consumers it was billed as the next mind-blowing resolution that makes 4K look like child's play. Well, it still is, but as it continues making its way to more widespread use, you still might have some questions about it.

8K TVs pack a whopping amount of pixels (more than 30 million!), much more than regular HD TVs and the best 4K TVs on the market. Major brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and TCL continue to roll out 8K TV models that feature backlighting tech like mini-LED for insane brightness and contrast. Prices are finally becoming affordable, too, with some 65-inch 8K TVs coming in at under $2,000.
