Best Buy’s deal of the day is an 8K TV for less than you’d think
A Samsung 85-inch 8K hangs on a living room wall.

While there isn't a lot, if any, 8k content floating around, the resolution still has its uses, especially when talking about larger screens where pixel density decreases rapidly as the screen becomes bigger. For example, this 65-inch 8k TV from Samsung is probably at the limit where pixel density starts being a problem, with larger screens above that certainly having an issue. Of course, 8k doesn't come cheap, and while it will still cost you over $1,000, this deal from Best Buy brings the Samsung QN800 down to $1,600 from the usual $2,700 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch QN800 8K TV
This may surprise you, but the Samsung QN800 comes in second on our list of best 8k TVs, only beaten out by Samsung's higher-end QN900, so you're getting some of the best features on the market. For example, if you're worried about watching content at 8k resolution, the QN800 comes with a neural quantum processor that can upscale most content up to 8k, although the outcome will vary a lot depending on the source resolution, with lower resolutions, such as HD, not upscaling as well. Of course, it's also a QLED TV, so it has much richer colors and better color reproduction and clarity than typical screens. Since this is Samsung's own technology, the implementation is stellar.
