Samsung announced pricing and availability details for its 2024 TV lineup on Thursday, and launched a rather unique deal to entice pre-orders: If you order one of his latest sets from now until April 11, it will add a bonus 65-inch 4K TV at no extra cost. The offer applies to the company’s new OLED TVs (the S90D and S95D)4K LED TVs ( QN85D and QN90D), 8K LED TVs ( QN800D and QN900D) and Frame TVs. Available at several retailers including Samsung.comalthough you can get an extra $100 off each set on Amazon if you’re a Prime member or Best buy if you subscribe to this store’s My Best Buy Plus service. With the former, the deal comes as part of the retailer’s wider Big Spring Sale event.
Samsung is offering a bonus 65-inch 4K TV when you pre-order one of its new 2024 TVs until April 11. If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you’ll see an additional $100 off at checkout.
As for what’s new with these kits, Samsung says The high-end S95D OLED TV uses anti-glare technology to perform better in brightly lit rooms, while the diminutive S90D can reach higher brightness levels than last year’s model. The aesthetics-focused Frame TV can now drop to a lower 60Hz refresh rate to save power while displaying artwork, and the QN90D has an updated processor. And while most people shouldn’t spend money on an 8K TV, both the QN800D and the top-of-the-line QN900D promise several AI-based zoom and motion enhancement features.
It’s an attractive promotion, but there are some caveats to keep in mind before you buy. The bonus TV in question is the Samsung TU690T, a base model from 2022. Although we haven’t tested it ourselves, other reviews say that it can’t get too bright and provides a basic main image. It lacks a local dimming feature to improve contrast, is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and has only two HDMI ports, neither of which HDMI 2.1. At the time of writing, the 65-inch model is available for $480 at Best Buy.
It’s also worth recalling how the pricing cycle in the TV market typically works. We’ll have to wait for reviews to see how much Samsung’s latest TVs have improved, but for the most part, they don’t seem to massive improvements over their predecessors from last year. The S95D’s anti-glare technology might be the most significant change in practice.
Meanwhile, most of these 2023 TVs are still available at significantly lower prices. Last year’s excellent S90C OLEDfor example, it now costs $1,298, which is $700 less than his 2024 equivalent. The new Frame TVs are exception right now, though we’ve seen a slew of discounts on last year’s model in recent months. In general, the best time to buy a TV is still the holiday sales period and right now when new models are introduced and still great older TVs drop in price until they are discontinued.
We highlight last year’s S90C and QN90C TVs in our gaming TV buying guide and have previously recommended the Frame TV for those willing to trade a little picture quality for a more classic design.
With all that said, free TV is free TV. If you’re dead set on getting one of Samsung’s latest and just want a big screen for, say, a guest room or office, this deal should sweeten the pot.
