The Samsung Q8F is a great midrange TV – especially at this price

The Samsung Q8F is a solid midrange TV that would work just as well as your main screen in your living room or home theater as it would as a second screen. Along with great picture and audio quality, you’ll get a few premium-grade features like adaptive sound technology and integrated Samsung Knox security to keep your browsing history and personal data safe from prying eyes. 

Right now at Best Buy, you can save $500 on the 75-inch Samsung Q8F, bringing the price to $898 — which means you can get a big-screen TV just in time for holiday movie marathons without breaking the bank. All other sizes are on sale as well.

The Samsung Q8F features integrated sensors that monitor ambient sound and automatically adjust volume and audio settings, so you get the best listening experience in just about any environment. It also supports Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound Lite technology for audio that follows the on-screen action of your favorite movies, shows, and video games.

A dedicated gaming dashboard supports a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother motion as well as AMD FreeSync Premium VRR to help prevent annoying screen tearing and stuttering. And if you have Philips Hue smart lights, you can sync your Samsung Q8F with them for dynamic RGB lighting that reacts to in-game sounds for a bit of visual flair for your gaming space.

If your TV is more than just a device for streaming or gaming and has become the central information hub in your home, you can take advantage of the Daily Board feature, which is a collection of customizable widgets to keep you up-to-date on weather and news headlines. You can also create personalized art slideshows with pieces from famous galleries and artists to add a touch of class to your space when your TV isn’t in use.

How I rated this deal 

While it’s not the steepest discount I’ve seen on a TV so far, it’s still a decent markdown on a solid midrange TV from a well-known brand. If you need a new TV and can’t wait for Black Friday deals to properly start, the Samsung Q8F is a great option at this price. With adaptive sound technology, integrated Samsung Knox security for online data protection, and a 144Hz refresh rate, you’re getting a host of premium features at a much more affordable price. That’s why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor’s rating.
