One of Samsung's newest TVs is on sale today. You can get the Samsung 75-inch 4K TU8000 smart TV on sale for $997.99 at Amazon. That's an all-new low for a TV that was selling for as much as $1,280 in February and hadn't dropped below $1,200 until this sale. Today's price puts it within $300 of the 65-inch version of the TU8000, which is huge considering the jump from 65 to 75 is usually hundreds more. You can find this deal or something close to it at other retailers. For example, the same TV is $999.99 at Best Buy .

If you're looking for a huge screen with 4K resolutions, you won't find a better bargain anywhere right now. The TU8000 is perfect when size and resolution are the most important. Not to mention, this is not an older model TV. The TU8000 was released as part of Samsung's 2020 lineup and has only been around since February. That means whatever tech is in this TV is the latest and greatest from Samsung.

Not only do you get 4K resolutions, but the TU8000 also has an ultrafast processor that will transform everything you watch into 4K, including upscaling lower resolutions to Ultra HD-level picture quality. The TV also supports HDR content through the HDR10+ and HLG formats.

Use all the smart features to make watching TV a more convenient experience. The set includes built-in voice assistance from Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or even Samsung's Bixby. Control the TV with your voice. Change the channels, adjust the volume, get relevant information like the weather, and so much more. You can also use the built-in smart platform to find all of your favorite streaming apps.

The TU8000 is one of Samsung's budget models so it does lack some of the more advanced features of the other members in the Samsung 2020 lineup. For example, it has no local dimming, which means it lacks the contrast ratio seen in more advanced models. And while it does support HDR, the TV does not have a very high peak brightness. It also uses a VA panel, which means it lacks the viewing angles and color gamut that would make this a primary centerpiece for your home. However, you're also saving hundreds versus TVs that might hit those marks. So whether the savings are worth it is up to you.

The Samsung QN65Q70TAFXZA 65-inch Q70T Series QLED 4K HDR smart TV is down to $1,097.99 at Amazon. This is the first ever discount on the Q70T since it first released in February. The TV normally sells for around $1,300, so you're saving a good chunk today. Best Buy also has a deal pretty close to this price.

The Q70T series is from Samsung's 2020 QLED lineup. While it is on the lower end of the lineup in terms of features, it's also on the lower end in terms of cost. If you want that beautiful QLED technology, this is a great way to do it. Today's deal puts the Q70T nearly $700 less than the moderate step-up the Q80T , so you're saving hundreds and not losing out on much.

The Q70T series uses a Quantum Processor with deep-learning AI for all your 4K content, which also helps upscale less-than-4K stuff so you always have the best image on your screen. Quantum HDR also gives you an expansive range of colro and detail. It has a 240 Motion Rate, which keeps everything smooth even when there's a ton of action on the screen.

Samsung TVs also have this thing called Ambient Mode. Basically, for your average TV when it's not in use it's just a giant, ugly black box on your wall or sitting uselessly in the corner of the room. Ambient Mode lets you make your TV useful at all times. Either you can display some artwork and neat visuals on the empty screen or actually get relevant info like the weather available to you with a simple glance.

The Q70T has Amazon's Alexa built right in so you can use the smart assistant to control the TV with your voice. She can change the channel, raise and lower the volume, search for movies, and more. Plus you'll be able to control the rest of your smart home, too.

As 4K televisions have hit the market, streaming hardware has been released to pair with them. You've got tons of options at your fingertips, enough so that it can be difficult figuring out where to start. We can help - we'll go over some of the best streaming devices on the market.

• Perfect for PC Gamers: Nvidia Shield TV
• Stream on Android: Chromecast Ultra
• Simple and Powerful: Roku Ultra
• Stream on iOS: Apple TV 4K (64 GB)
• Prime Viewing With Amazon: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
• 4K Streaming Plus Amazon Echo: Amazon Fire TV Cube
• Stream and Game: Xbox One X

Our Personal Recommendations

If you own a desktop PC with an Nvidia graphics card, the Nvidia Shield TV is a no-brainer. It's got the same streaming capabilities as the other devices on the list and augments that with access to Nvidia's huge library of PC games. Better yet, the capacity to stream from your PC to your TV using the game controller included in the box means you can relax on your couch while you game, rather than scrunching up at your desk.

For those of you with an Alexa-enabled smart home (or who are looking to set one up), the Fire TV Cube is the way to go. It combines the functionality of the Fire TV Stick with an Amazon Echo Speaker, for all your Alexa-related needs.

Finally, if you (like most people) own an Android device and use Google Chrome, the Chromecast Ultra won't disappoint. The ability to cast directly from the Google Chrome browser means you can stream a nearly infinite selection of content, and the fact that you can control your TV from your phone (almost) makes up for the lack of remote control.

As soon as Disney+ was announced, there were a lot of questions regarding what the streaming service would offer, other than the lineup of content. The company delivered — Disney+ supports videos with 4K, Ultra HD, or HDR content, providing for a great viewing experience. With that said, we have found some of the best 4K TVs you should consider if you plan on subscribing to Disney+ now that it's available.

• Best overall: Samsung QN55Q60 QLED 4K TV
• Built-in Chromecast: VIZIO M-Series
• Bang for the buck: TCL 55S425 4K Roku TV
• Get Fire TV: Toshiba 4K Ultra HD Fire TV Edition
• Android TV onboard: Hisense 55H8F 4K Ultra HD TV
• Bells and whistles: Samsung Q90 QLED Smart TV
• Nanocell greatness: LG Nano 8 Series TV
• Best TV for Avengers: LG C9 OLED 4K TV
• Flagship specs without the price: TCL 6-series QLED TV

Enjoy the new streaming content

There are so many different televisions available on the market. It can be challenging to find one that has just about everything you could want. With the Samsung QN55Q60 , those concerns can be put to rest. This television offers a QLED 4K panel with HDR10+ for an even better HDR experience than similar products. Samsung also packed plenty of smart home functionality with support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Bixby Voice, and Samsung SmartThings.

For those who want all the bells and whistles, and money is no object, look no further than the Samsung Q90 QLED Smart TV . This television offers enhanced viewing angles, Samsung's Quantum Dots technology for a better viewing experience, and an ultra-slim design that will fit in with any room decor.

Ask any self-respecting nerd/sports fan what they really want, and the answer probably will be this: More sports in 4K resolution. And we're usually not all that picky about it. We'll take a 1080p stream upscaled. Sure, it's not native 4K — but it's better than nothing.

And that's why today's announcement that ESPN will start showing some college football games in native 4K is a little frustrating. Two reasons for that, actually.

Reason No. 1 is because this whole thing is limited to ESPN on DirecTV. That is, the old-school DirecTV owned by AT&T, and not the new AT&T TV Now (which used to be DirecTV Now) — the streaming video version of said platform. That's the big lock-in.

Reason No. 2 is that this little endeavor is billed the "Samsung QLED 4K Game of the Week." And that's going to imply to most folks that if you don't have a Samsung QLED TV, well, you're out of luck. (When, really it's the DirecTV thing that's going to be the bigger roadblock.) But in reality, any 4K TV hooked up to DirecTV's hardware should work just fine.

While that's not to say that encoding and decoding 4K video over AT&T TV Now is the same as encoding and decoding 4K video on DirecTV. It's just not. But regardless, that's two layers of confusion — to say nothing of some oversized Samsung branding — that stands in the way of what we want: More sports in 4K.

But I digress. In any event, the first game is this weekend, when Florida plays LSU at 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN. Some folks will get to watch it in 4K — so long as their TV (and DirecTV hardware) can support it.

The rest of us will just have to make do.

Over the past few years, Hisense has slotted itself as one of the best TV manufacturers you can go with. It offers everything from value-proposition 1080p smart TVs to gaudy $10,000 projectors that deliver gigantic 100-inch content. But it seems the sweet spot for people's preferences of TVs seem to fall somewhere in the middle of that.

We want a solid 4K TV that checks both the quality and affordable checkmarks. It's the best of both worlds that will fill your living room with impressive picture quality.

Hisense answers customer's wishes with the H8F 4K Ultra HD Android TV .

The H8F 4K Ultra HD TV comes in two flavors: a 55-inch version, and a 65-inch version. I suspect most people will be interested in the smaller version as it's more economical and less obtrusive, but I'd suggest just springing for the bigger version as it'll age better with time as TVs become bigger and bigger. (And increasingly less expensive.)

Hisense sent me the 65-inch version to test out, and while at first the outlandish size seemed too big for my apartment, the big size grew on me within a matter of days. Here's why.

The Good

• Really good picture quality
• Android TV interface is clean
• Fantastic price point
• Versatile remote control with Google Assistant

The Bad

• Audio is not great
• Auto-dimming struggles with gaming

A lot of bang for your buck

Hisense H8F 4K TV What I like

The design of the Hisense H8F TV might not stand out because it looks just like most modern TVs—super slim bezels with an expansive display in the middle—but it still looks great. The side and top bezels are basically nonexistent while the bottom one is slightly thicker providing a great place for the Hisense logo.

As someone who comes from an older TV with minimal ports, the rich port selection on the H8F was welcomed with open arms during my testing. It comes with four HDMI ports, two USB ports, an Ethernet port, an antenna/cable plug, AV IN for right, left and video, digital audio and a headphone jack.

Three HDMI ports should be the standard for all TVs. With the number of gaming systems, streaming boxes, cable boxes and other options you have at your disposal, it's best to have more than less. Hisense does a solid and throws in four HDMIs which were perfect for my set-up that includes a DirecTV box, Apple TV and PlayStation 4 with one to spare.

The last piece of the puzzle is the ergonomic remote. It's light and tactile with easy-access buttons for YouTube, Netflix, Vudu and Google Play.

This all leads to the best part of the TV: the picture quality.

Most of the content I consume is in HD, and it came out looking pretty good. The picture quality goes up to 2160p, so it can upscale HD content to a satisfactory level. Detail comes out very crisp while contrast is balanced very well. However, the main reason to get this TV is 4K content. We're at a point where 4K content is easily accessible. Netflix, YouTube, and many other streaming platforms have a healthy dose of 4K content that is vividly brought to life on the ULED panel.

I watched many 4K videos on YouTube to see the dynamic range of the TV, and unsurprisingly, the Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 really make images pop. Additionally, the H8F also offers wide color gamut and refresh rate of 240Hz.

The TV panel is also really good at curving ugly glare from sunlight. It doesn't completely eliminate it, but it did a much better job than my Samsung TV. From a straight vantage point, the TV doesn't get washed out in sunlight even with multiple windows open, but if you turn at an angle and direct sunlight is striking it, then you'll be greeted with ugly washed out parts.

Getting around the TV is done through Android TV, and it takes the experience to the next level. TV OEMs have gotten better at designing unintrusive software for TVs, but it's not good as Google's version via Android. Menus are clear and simple to access while submenus offer exactly what they say they do. Rarely is anything buried under mountains of menus.

I found it quite easy jumping in and out of the picture settings whenever I needed to tweak something.

Another benefit of Android TV is that you get all the perks Google offers. That includes built-in Chromecast support and Google Assistant with a dedicated button on the remote controller. Asking it questions like "turn down the volume," "change input," and "launch Netflix" worked really well.

It also worked seamlessly with the Google Home devices I have around my house.

A major reason to get a big TV is to enjoy sports, and let me tell you, the Hisense H8F has come very handy now that the NFL season has started. Sports has been one of the strong points of the TV, delivering crisp images that really immerse you in the game. The wide color gamut does a fantastic job of getting those bright colors you see on the green field and the colorful uniforms.

Audio is a disappointment

Hisense H8F 4K TV What I don't like

Most of my testing period with the H8F TV was positive, but not all of it was as I ran into two issues. The first major hurdle were the underwhelming speakers. They get plenty loud, however, that's not the mark of good audio. The quality of it leaves a lot to be desired.

Overall audio quality is hurt by the low-frequency that throws everything off. Action scenes in movies don't truly pop while dialogue isn't as full as you'd like.

This lack of audio quality, combined with another ailment hurting most TVs—badly-placed speakers—just bring down the whole audio experience.

The one saving grace for the audio is that it's not the main focus of the TV. Hisense likely knows a large majority of people have a soundbar that is tailor-made to deliver fantastic audio quality. In any case, I'll take image quality over audio quality all day long since you can always buy a soundbar after the fact. You're stuck with the TV.

After making sure I got the proper experience from the TV speakers, I hooked up by Vizio soundbar and erased my first issue.

The second issue I ran into was the Full Array Local Dimming that went berzerk when it came to gaming. Booting up and going through menus on my PlayStation 4 was par for the course. The display looked vibrant and rich. Things changed quickly when I got into gameplay. The TV was dimming to extremely low levels leading to odd discoloration.

This was most evident during gameplay in Madden NFL 20. The washed out colors were a far cry from the experience I got from real-life NFL games.

I figured this might have something to do with the settings, so I adjusted the channel settings to Game Picture Mode, yet the dimming issue persisted. It didn't stop me from gaming on the TV, which I did begrudgingly because I had to complete my Madden franchise, but I lamented the constantly changing dimming levels.

A worthy option

Should you buy the Hisense H8F 4K TV? Yes

Minor issues aside, the Hisense H8F 4K TV is still a fantastic 4K option that I can absolutely recommend. I came away thoroughly impressed by the picture quality and the intuitive Android TV OS. I can't speak for all those that are going to read this review, but I am a bargain hunter and I'll gladly take this sub-$500 TV over pricier options that get near or over $1,000. You don't have to spend a lot to get a great 4K TV; the Hisense H8F 4K TV proves that.

There are countless 4K TVs out there that will take aim at your wallet, but why put yourself through that. We've tested a few of them out , and I won't lie, they're great. But Hisense's option is just as impressive and arguably even more so because of the tremendous value proposition.

This TV is a great entry point into the world of 4K, especially if you're on a limited budget. Hisense makes sure to round out the experience with Android TV and rich port selection that makes other TVs that cost $1,000 look bad.

No, the H8F TV is not perfect, but as long as you understand its shortcomings and make peace with that, you'll see exactly what it does offer: a solid 4K TV experience.

4K, not today

It is unfortunate that HDHomeRun doesn't support 4K streaming or recording on any of its devices. It does support HD content, which is understandable considering it uses over-the-air antenna waves to bring content right to your device. This type of streaming is not available in 4K quite yet, so that's why it's not available on these devices.

Although you can't get that high-quality content, HDHomeRun still offers several channels that you will be able to enjoy thoroughly in HD quality, like NBC, CBS, and PBS, as well as different local channels depending on your area. To check out all that's offered in your area, use the the official website .

Why is 4K not available yet?

4K over-the-air broadcasting is not available yet because of all the coding the goes into producing 4K content. There is a lot that goes into creating this level of brilliance. They have to recode all of that content to get the crisp, beautiful image you see on Netflix shows and 4K YouTube videos.

To compare 4K content and the HD shows you receive through your HDHomeRun tuner, we have to talk about frames per second (FPS) to help compare. The highest quality you can get through over-the-air broadcasting is 30FPS at 1080i, which is a step below 1080p full HD. Most of the shows you see on Netflix are coming it a 60FPS, which is double the frame rate with higher quality images. This explains why many people find 4K so important, but it isn't necessary to still enjoy a good looking show.

What is HDHomeRun all about

HDHomeRun is a streaming tuner that uses over-the-air antenna waves to bring live television right to the comfort of your own home. This helps you cut or limit your payment to the cable company, allowing you to still have access to the TV while saving some money. You can also record shows to watch later with an HDHomeRun Servio for just $35 per month .

With an HDHomeRun tuner, you can take the live TV and send it to almost any device in your home. Whether it's your Android TV or iPhone 10, there are several different devices that can sync with your tuner so anyone can enjoy live TV in your home. Make sure to verify that your device works with the HDHomeRun tuners so you can decide if you want to purchase one or not.
