Which Samsung TV should you buy on Black Friday?

Samsung Q80A

Samsung 2021 QN80A 4K QLED TV

Samsung’s QLED televisions are among the best you can buy that also manage to hit that sweet spot of price, specs, and features. The Q80A is an LED television, which means you’re still talking about dimming zones and not individual pixel dimming like in OLED televisions. But Samsung’s Q80A uses what’s called “Full Array Dimming,” which allows for more targeted dimming — and that results in a better picture while being less expensive than an OLED display.

For color, Samsung uses Quantum Dot technology which is a fancy way of saying “better.”

And Samsung TVs come with their own smart operating system built in, meaning you won’t have to plug in any other devices to get your favorite streaming services and apps.

The Samsung Q80A is available in a smattering of sizes, including 50, 55, 65, 75, and 85 inches, with the price increasing as you go up.

The Frame

Another Samsung TV deal that deserves discussion not just on Black Friday but pretty much any time is The Frame. It’s an awkward name for a TV that’s not just meant to show shows, but to be an artistic focal point no matter where you put it.

The Frame is as much a picture frame as it is a TV — so much so that you’re able to customize the bezel and not be stuck with basic black. And when you’re not watching movies and series, it can be used to show all kinds of artwork.

You’ll pay a premium for this sort of thing, which is why Black Friday is the perfect time to snag a deal on The Frame, which comes in sizes from 32 to 85 inches.

I found 4 excellent soundbar deals hiding in Amazon’s Prime sale
Movie night could sound a whole lot better without costing a fortune.
Wedge, Dynamite, Weapon

A new TV can make movies look fantastic, but I’ve always felt that upgrading the audio can make just as big a difference. Even a great TV can only do so much with the tiny speakers squeezed inside it, and adding a soundbar is one of the easiest ways to make movie nights, games, and even Netflix binges feel considerably more immersive.

The problem is that a proper home theater setup can be expensive, especially once you start looking at Dolby Atmos, wireless subwoofers, and dedicated surround speakers. Amazon’s Prime sale makes that jump a little easier right now. I’ve picked out four soundbar deals that I’d actually consider buying, starting with a Bose upgrade and going all the way up to a JBL system with detachable rear speakers.

Some of my favorite portable speakers just got much cheaper for Prime Big Deal Days
Bose, Marshall, UE, and Sony speakers just dropped to some tempting prices
Prime Big Day Portable Speaker Deals

Bluetooth speakers are one of those categories where spending more can genuinely get you better sound, longer battery life, and tougher hardware. Prime Big Deal Days makes that upgrade considerably easier on the wallet. I’ve picked five deals, from compact speakers you can toss into a backpack to the much larger Bose SoundLink Max. Three of them are also $99 or less, and Sony’s ULT Field 1 is the standout bargain at $68.

Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) — $99 (38% off)
