Samsung’s 65-inch S90D OLED TV is $300 off at Best Buy, and I’m very tempted

SAVE $300: As of March 17, Samsung 65-inch S90D OLED 4K Smart TV is available for $1,399.99 at Best Buy. That’s $300 off its regular price of $1,699.99.

A good OLED TV is like a PSA 10 Shadowless 1st Edition Charizard: Stunning, legendary, and way out of my price range. Sorry, but the Pokémon FOMO is real. But Best Buy just knocked $300 off the Samsung 65-inch S90D OLED, bringing it down to $1,399.99. That’s still a chunk of change, but considering Samsung’s S90D is one of the best OLEDs of 2024, this deal is actually pretty generous.

Samsung’s OLED HDR+ technology makes every detail pop, with deep blacks, bright highlights, and colors validated by Pantone. The NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor takes the picture up a notch, upscaling everything to 4K and optimizing each scene with Real Depth Enhancer. Even if you’re watching old home videos, they’ll somehow look crisper and more cinematic.

This is a great screen for gaming on too. Motion Xcelerator Turbo+4 delivers smooth 4K gameplay at 120Hz with virtually no lag. The Gaming Hub lets you stream games straight from the TV, with no console required. If you do have a console, the four HDMI 2.1 ports mean no more cable-swapping drama.

Sound is just as impressive. Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Lite make audio feel like it’s moving with the action, so those intense car chases or dramatic monologues hit even harder. If you have a Samsung soundbar, the Q-Symphony feature syncs the TV speakers and soundbar for an even fuller experience.

Samsung’s Tizen OS keeps all your apps in one place, while AI Customization Mode tweaks picture settings based on what you’re watching. The TV even analyzes ambient lighting to reduce energy use. Not sure how much electricity that actually saves, but hey, every little bit counts.

If you’ve been waiting for a solid OLED TV deal, this might be the time to make a move. $1,399.99 for a high-end Samsung OLED? I’ve seen worse ways to spend money.
