Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4 Recap: Is Daenerys Losing Her Grip? | 4k Television

Models ranging from 40 inches to 86 inches are on sale this weekend, from brands like Vizio, LG, and Sony — but our favorite deals come in the form of Samsung’s The Frame TV. Through May 12, the 55-inch model will be on sale for $900 off, while you can save $1,100 on the 65-inch model. Do not miss this, y’all.

Full-array local dimming technology is the state of the art for LCD TVs. Rather than illuminate a display from edge lighting (LCDs don’t give off light but they’ll pass through any light coming through),  LEDs behind the LCD screen provide illumination in zones that can be illuminated and dimmed separately, resulting in deeper blacks than a basic LCD panel. Sony uses the umbrella term Sony Backlight Master Drive. It gives you much of the image quality of an OLED TV without the cost, in the case of Sony’s top 75- to 77-inch TVs, half the cost, FALD 4K vs. OLED 4K.

Samsung and LG are also fighting over territory in the highly competitive smartphone market: both manufacture Android phones, though we won’t be comparing their handsets in this particular guide.

The TV also comes with a well-designed 12-key Bluetooth voice remote control that allows you to remotely control your TV with no need to target accurately. Independent voice button, one-button wake-up call to the voice assistant XiaoAI, as well as the AI TV system PatchWall makes it more intelligent.

Sony’s TVs also use an Acoustic Surface Audio technology that, in the company’s words, “creates sound from the entire screen, providing pictures and sound in perfect harmony … a perfect unification of picture and sound that conventional TVs cannot deliver.” That or you could buy a decent soundbar. If you’re buying this much TV, you really should invest $1,000 to $2,500 in a 5.1 surround system — three front speakers, two rears, and one subwoofer that is the dot-one part — either on or in the walls. You could also spend $50,000 on something like this.

Sony 85-inch BRAVIA X850F Series 4K Ultra HD HDR Android LED TV (XBR85X850F) — $2,998 (list price $3,998)

Sony calls the technology "Crystal LED", which is its brand name for micro-LED display tech. Samsung is also experimenting with the format.

Otherwise, the GZ2000 has all of the trimmings we’ve come to expect from a 4K OLED display, including lovely deep blacks and wide viewing angles, although its omission of the HDMI 2.1 standard is really unfortunate.

Meanwhile, the TV’s robust quad-core processor reduces video noise and maintains color accuracy for an impressively lifelike display. Support for the multi-format 4K high dynamic range is offered so that every scene is optimized to look its best.

Another unique example of LG digital signage displays at the NAB Show were six 86-inch LG “Ultra Stretch” displays (86BH5C) configured in double-sided vertical pillars in the Las Vegas Convention Center lobby and North Hall. Each display measures just over seven feet tall and about two feet wide for amazing eye catching displays.

Here’s the kicker: Walmart has teamed up with Affirm to offer customers the chance to take that $600 (including a little interest) and divide it into twelve more manageable chunks of $59, and it’s throwing in $25 statement credit for those who do.
