2021 Samsung and Sony TVs are on sale so you can catch (most of) the Olympics in 4K

No one should have to guess what's going on in that dark scene of The Handmaid's Tale. Since 2020, TV manufacturers have been pumping out large, affordable 4K panels at a wicked fast pace — which means watching your favorite content with punchy colors, decipherable shadows, and smooth transitions doesn't have to be reserved for the movie theater. Each weekend, we'll be compiling a list of our favorite 4K and QLED TV deals from Samsung, LG, Sony, and more.

Samsung

OUR TOP PICK: Samsung 85-inch Q60A QLED 4K Smart TV (QN85Q60AAFXZA) — $2,197.99 (save $600 through a free Amazon credit)

Officially, this gigantic 2021 Samsung QLED TV has never dropped below its list price of $2,797.99 at Amazon. But buying it can still save you a serious wad of cash. Instead of a straightforward price cut, Amazon will toss a $600 credit in (just use code HVTQORPEW66C) that can be used on future Amazon purchases.

In a roundabout way, that's over 20% off one of Samsung's newest QLED creations with some of its juiciest colors and brightest HDR to date.

A VA panel separates Sony's 2021 X85J and X80J series TVs. Compared to the IPS panel of the entry-level X80J, the X85J in today's spotlight takes advantage of a VA panel's surged contrast ratio and refresh rate. Dolby Vision HDR complements with deepened black shades — a great option for horror fans who prefer the dark room theater experience.

OUR TOP PICK: Toshiba 2021 43-inch C350 Series 4K UHD Smart Fire TV (43C350KU) — $269.99 (save $100)

One of the latest entries in the smart-TV-but-actually-a-Fire-TV family is the Toshiba C350. Brightness and color are the only obvious upgrades over the 2020 models, but it's a nice view with Dolby Vision for the budget-conscious. The Fire TV interface still doesn't play nicely with Peacock, but casting is easier now that Amazon has given the green light to AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit on this model.
