Samsung's Giant 98-Inch TV Is $1,000 Off At A New Low Price Plus Score A Free TV
by Paul Lilly · HotHardwareNow that we're a week into November, it won't be long before retailers start promoting Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts. Heck, to some extent, it's already starting to happen. Earlier this week, we rounded up several great MacBook Air and Beats deals with discounts up to 50% off. Switching gears, today's focus is on Samsung's really big screen TVs with some sweet savings and a bonus offer.
Shooting straight for the top (in terms of size), check out Samsung's 98-inch DU9000 4K Smart TV that's on sale for $2,499.99 at Best Buy (save $1,000). That's a massive discount an all-time low price at Best Buy. Alternatively, you can get it for slightly less at Amazon, where's it's on sale for $2,497.99.
The reason we'd pay the measly $2 extra at Best Buy is because it's also including a 40-inch Samsung TV valued at $249.99 for free. It's an older 1080p model from 2019, but it could make a decent option for a guest bedroom or a gift for a college-bound student who will be residing in a cramped dorm room.
As for the 98-inch behemoth, the DU9000 is more of an entry-level model, so you don't get advanced bells and whistles like mini LED or OLED, local dimming, quantum dots, and so forth. Still, it's a good TV overall, and obviously very big. It's also powered by Samsung's Tizen OS, it has a Game Bar, and supports HDR. Additionally, Samsung lists the refresh rate at 100Hz, along with FreeSync Premium support.
If a 98-inch TV is too big for your liking and/or is more than what you're wanting to spend, you can score the same free TV bonus offer with Samsung's 85-inch DU7200, which is on sale for $999 at Best Buy (save $100). It's still a very large television and it comes with the same 40-inch 1080p TV as an added bonus, but it is considerably cheaper at a penny shy of a grand.
Here again, the priority is on sheer size, as this is another entry-level model. It features a 4K resolution, HDR support, Tizen OS for smart TV chores, and is compatible with Samsung's Q-Symphony feature, which taps into the built-in speakers when paired with a supported Samsung soundbar.
Yet one more option is Samsung's 85-inch DU8000, which is priced at $1,499.99 at Best Buy. That's not a sale price, but like the other two deals above, it comes with a free 40-inch 1080p TV.
It's another entry-level model, though according to the folks at Rtings, the 85-inch model within the DU8000 series stands out as the size to feature a native 120Hz refresh rate and support VRR (variable refresh rate).
