LIVE: Best Prime Day TV deals — $1,000 off OLED TV and more

One of our all-time favorite projectors is Samsung’s The Premiere 4K Laser Projector.

What’s great about this projector is its native 4K resolution and built-in Tizen smart platform that can connect you to all your favorite apps. It’s surprisingly bright at around 2,200 lumens – making it useful even in moderately lit rooms – and, because it uses 30W speakers, fairly loud as well.

Today’s Amazon Early Access deal shaves $1,000 off its regular price of $3,497, so definitely take a look if you plan on creating a true home theater.

As you already know, TVs typically don’t have the best sound right out of the box. Often they’re tuned to enhance dialogue, but don’t output much bass and can’t do justice to any music you might play through your smart TV.

Soundbars, however, can fix that.

There’s a bundle today on Amazon that packs a 43-inch TV – specifically, The Frame from Samsung – along with a five-channel soundbar. The soundbar can output digital Dolby Atmos and supports DTS:X Digital Audio as well.

If you plan on buying both a TV and a soundbar today, this bundle can save you around $500.

I’ve mentioned plenty of big-screen TVs today, but projectors can offer an even bigger screen size at a fraction of the price. Take, for example, the Anker Nebula Cosmos Max 4K that’s on sale for $959, down from its usual price of $1,499. 

This 4K Projector comes loaded with Android TV 9.0 and impressively supports HDR10 and HLG. It only weighs ‎6.6 pounds so it’s easy to carry from place to place and rocks four 10W speakers. 

You shouldn’t buy a projector expecting the exact same performance of an equivalently sized 4K TV, but in darker rooms like a basement, they’re great.

If you’re thinking about cutting the cord, consider picking up a digital HD TV antenna. 

Essentially the modern-day equivalent of rabbit ears, digital antennas pull in your local stations – CBS, ABC, NBC, etc… – over the air in HD quality. That’s great for catching your local football games and nightly news without paying for cable.

This model in particular has great range and comes with an in-line amplifier that helps boost the clarity of the images. At $20, it’s worth picking one up if you don’t have one already.

LIGHTNING DEAL

Looking to upgrade to 8K this year? There’s currently a flash deal on the Samsung QN850A from last year that cuts $400 off the regular price.

Samsung’s 8K TVs use Mini-LED to get better light control and higher peak brightness than the standard QLED or LED-LCD TVs. Inside is the Quantum Neo 8K Processor that can take 4K content or lower and upscale it to 8K – a process we’ve seen before on other 8K Samsung TVs – and uses the slim OneConnect box for all connections.

For an 8K TV, this is a great price.

It might be Amazon’s Early Access sale, but that hasn’t stopped other retailers like Best Buy from getting in on the action. 

Available at Best Buy, the Toshiba M550 is one of our favorite Fire TVs. The feature-packed 2021 display offers a native 120Hz panel, support for HDR10/HDR10 Plus, DTS Virtual: X audio, full array local dimming, and hands-free control with Amazon Alexa. For console gamers, it also supports a variable refresh rate up to 60Hz, which eliminates stuttering and tearing in gameplay. It’s now at its lowest price ever. 

If you want to shop somewhere other than Amazon today, Best Buy has you covered.

QD-OLED is the newest panel type and represents the cutting-edge of what’s new with TVs in 2022. Currently there are only two QD-OLED models available for sale – one made by Sony and one made by Samsung (seen here).

Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, the Samsung S95B QD-OLED uses the company’s Neural Quantum Processor 4K, which is the same flagship CPU inside Samsung’s Neo QLED TVs, alongside the QD-OLED panel to deliver the pixel-perfect illumination with the brightness and life-like color of LCD panels and the better backlight control of OLED.

The Samsung S95B OLED TV runs an updated version of Samsung’s Tizen smart TV platform. Its Media Screen also acts as a unified dashboard for your streaming apps, while Gaming Hub centralizes your game consoles through a cloud-based service so you can jump back into playing right from your TV’s home screen.

It’s the future of TVs, on sale for 27% off the regular price.

Looking for an absolutely massive TV to put underneath the tree this year? This 85-inch Sony X91J is an excellent option. This one’s a 2021 model that sits between last year’s excellent X90J and X95J.
