Earlier this week, Samsung unveiled official pricing for its 2024 TVs, opening the floodgates for entertainment enthusiasts and long-awaited upgraders to put their money where their mouths were for the latest home displays. Like LG and TCL, AI is at the center of this year’s Samsung TVs, from anti-glare OLED model S95D to the increasingly popular television frame to the humble QLED 4K that most people will probably end up buying. Oh, and Samsung will launch a 65-inch 4K TV, the 2022 model TU690T, with any of your televisions you pre-order so it’s great.
Not to be left behind, Amazon Big spring sale This weekend coincides with Samsung’s free TV offer. and with $100 off each model, making it the destination for Prime members to upgrade to the latest QLED, OLED, 8K and lifestyle sets.
Without a doubt, the highlight of Samsung’s 2024 TV lineup is the S95D OLED, which ZDNET’s Jason Hiner and I first saw at CES in January. The previous model, the S95C OLED, was already fantastic when we tested it, and the newest model improves things with an anti-glare display that solves one of the biggest problems with current OLED panels: neutralizing distracting reflections from ambient light to produce greater contrast and, in some ways, greater color intensity.
There is also the cheapest one. model S90D That loses the anti-glare treatment but still gets an updated AI processor to improve depth, boost the refresh rate up to 144Hz, and upscale 4K. Note that the S90D doesn’t come in sizes smaller than 55 inches, compared to, say, LG’s new C4 OLED which is available in 42 and 48 inches.

The big update with this year’s. television frame is its ability to drop to a 60Hz refresh rate to reduce power consumption. As for the 8K models, expensive but more accessible than ever (QN800D and QN900D), Samsung hopes its new motion-enhancing and artificial intelligence features will be enough to attract potential buyers, in case the additional 65-inch TV doesn’t work out.
Finally, let’s talk about “free TV.” It is the TU690T model, released in 2022, with a decent 4K Crystal UHD processor (for expansion) and two HDMI ports. The exact display technology, called “direct-lit LED,” isn’t local dimming like the best mini LED arrays we’ve tested at ZDNET, but according to Amazon buyers, it should be bright enough in most conditions. of lighting.
Ultimately, the free 65-inch TV, which typically sells for $449, shouldn’t be the main reason to buy one of Samsung’s 2024 models. But if you were already considering getting one of them, whether it’s a Frame TV, OLED, or 8K QLED, having an extra set for the basement, guest room, or just as a backup isn’t the worst idea. And Amazon will even deduct an additional $100 if you’re a Prime member.
Amazon’s Spring 2024 Sale will run from March 20 to 25 on the retail giant’s website.
