If you missed your chance to take home a 4K TV on the cheap on Black Friday 2019, you’re in luck: Walmart has revived one of the best deals we saw on the shopping bonanza, knocking $170 off the massive 65-inch LG UM6950. This sees it in the discount bin for just $480 — or as little as $47 per month through the retailer’s flexible 12-month financing scheme.

Frankly, the LG UM6950 has it all, offering access to everything you could ever need right out of the box. There’s an enormous 65-inch screen (4K Ultra HD, no less) on the front; multi-format HDR, which can be called upon to draw more detail from supported content; and LG’s intuitive webOS smart software for instant streaming through the likes of Disney+ and Netflix.

The television can even be hooked up to an Amazon Echo or Google Home for hands-free navigation. Decide to do this and you will be able to mumble all sorts of voice commands its way, such as telling it to turn on and off, switch to a different input method, and even track down and start playing specific content — all without having to reach for the remote control.

Let’s not forget this is a 4K TV, so it’s armed with the one feature that all reputable 4K TVs have: A 4K Upscale Engine. This is used to transform standard HD and Full HD content into a higher 4K Ultra HD resolution. You don’t have to do anything to activate it, either — the process takes place in the background, with the LG UM6950 activating it as and when required.

So all in all, the 65-inch LG UM6950 is a television aimed at the average viewer looking for a portal into the streaming-fueled future without all of the set-top boxes and streaming sticks that come with it, and with support for all the leading services, it will cater to the whole family. Not to mention the fact it’s large enough to sit at the center of any home entertainment setup.

Still not sure? Here’s what a customer, who also bought it on sale, had to say:

Great quality and awesome picture too! I was a bit wary because of the price but it blew me away. I love the Smart TV because it’s so simple to get to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. Just push one button and you’re there. Definitely would purchase again.

How is this possible? Sansui’s 55-inch 4K OLED TV is only $600
Sansui 55-inch OLED TV

You're going to have to give me a minute to pick my jaw up off the floor. See, my colleague Caleb Denison just sent me a message and I'm still in disbelief: "Guys, Walmart has the Sansui OLED at $600 right now -- which is just bonkers." And he's right on all counts. Walmart (and Amazon) do indeed have Sansui's new 55-inch 4K OLED TV, and it is currently selling for $600, and yes, this is bonkers.

What is 4K? Everything you need to know about 4K Ultra HD
LG G4 OLED

If you’ve shopped for a new TV, monitor, laptop, or game console over the last decade or so, you’ve probably seen the phrase “4K UHD” on most web pages, ads, and product boxes you’ve come across. Quite simply, this refers to a specific screen resolution -- 3840 x 2160 -- which is four times (hence the “4”) the amount of pixels you’d find on a non-4K display.

At this point in time, 4K displays have been mainstream for quite a while, to the point that most new televisions use 4K panels instead of 1080p (or 720p) ones. But this is merely scratching the surface. There’s a lot more to a 4K TV than just a boatload of pixels though, so let’s strap on the scuba gear and dive a little deeper, shall we? We may even learn a thing or two about 8K TVs as we swim toward the bottom.
What is 4K Ultra HD?
4K Ultra HD is the name assigned to a screen with a resolution that's four times that of a Full HD (1080p) TV. That translates to 8 million pixels being crammed into the same space in which a Full HD TV fits just 2 million -- achieved by making each pixel four times smaller. The result for the average viewer? A clearer image, more accurate color, and with most new TV sets, High Dynamic Range, or HDR (more on that in a bit).
