Hurry! This 50-inch Samsung 4K TV is on sale for just $280 at Walmart right now

Tracking down a reliable, well-rounded 50-inch 4K TV from a big-brand manufacturer for less than $300 is difficult, but not impossible. Far from it, in fact. The trick is to rummage through the discount bin. There, you can find a new, smart-infused television being sold for a fraction of its usual price. Just look at this 50-inch Samsung NU6900. Usually $430, the 4K TV is on sale right now at Walmart for just $280 — a total savings of $150.

The 50-inch Samsung NU6900 hasn’t been discounted because its days are numbered, though. First launched in 2018, it’s equipped with the latest version of the company’s TizenOS smart software, offering one-click access to all of the leading streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, and even supports HDR10+, the current take on Samsung’s HDR standard, which can be called upon to draw additional detail from the scene at hand.

There isn’t much more to it. This is because the 50-inch Samsung NU6900 was designed with the average consumer in mind, appealing to the average consumer looking for a television that can tune into the latest must-see show through a streaming service out of the box — no additional hardware required. Being a Samsung, it’s also built with endurance in mind, so it’s bound to stand the test of time, surviving for at least the next half-decade.

Of course, with Christmas set to arrive next week, there’s a good chance you’re a little strapped for cash. That’s where Walmart comes in. The retailer is offering the 50-inch Samsung NU6900 through its flexible 12-month installment scheme, which can see it at the center of your home entertainment setup for as little as $28 per month. Have a bit more to spare? You have the choice to increase the payment to clear the balance faster.

Not sold? Here’s what one satisfied customer had to say:

I’ve had this TV for several months now. I thought my previous TV had died so I bought this. Turns out the cable box from Comcast died and I didn’t even need a new TV but this one is so nice, I kept it instead of returning it. The picture is amazing. The sound is excellent. Setup was easy as could be.

If you’re after something a bit different, there are several other 4K TV deals available, including a 55-inch Toshiba Fire TV Edition for $350, a 65-inch Samsung NU6900 for $480, a 65-inch curved Samsung RU7300 for $620, a 70-inch Vizio V-Series for $700, a 75-inch LG UM7970PUB for $750, a 65-inch Samsung Q60R QLED for $1,000, a 75-inch Sony X800G for $1,400, and a 65-inch Sony Master Series A9G OLED for $3,300.

Samsung shows off the first two 77-inch QD-OLED 4K TVs at CES 2023
Samsung S95C QD-OLED 4K TV.

Samsung was the first company to show off a 4K TV based on QD-OLED technology at CES 2022, and now, at CES 2023 it has unveiled two new QD-OLED models -- the S95C Samsung OLED and S90C Samsung OLED -- and each will be available as 77-inch models. Both will also be offered in 55- and 65-inch sizes.  The news came one day after Samsung Display confirmed it would show its next-gen "QD-OLED 2023" panel at the show in a 77-inch size.

When QD-OLED-based TVs debuted in 2022, Samsung and Sony revealed the first two 4K TVs models within hours of each other: the Samsung S95B and the Sony A95K. Both TVs proved to be absolutely stunning in terms of picture quality, leaving our reviewer no choice but to award them a rare 10/10 rating. But the TVs themselves weren't especially large; only 55- and 65-inch sizes were introduced.

Samsung’s CES 2023 TVs get thinner, brighter, healthier, and better for gaming
Samsung 2022 QN900B 8K Neo QLED TV.

On display at CES 2023, Samsung's 2023 TV lineup is getting a wide variety of upgrades, including thinner designs, better sound systems, 4K cloud-based gaming, and some interesting health applications that the company is borrowing from its mobile division. Here's everything you need to know.
MicroLED gets smaller, more affordable
Samsung was an early promoter of microLED display tech, which uses tiny LED lights as individual pixels instead of using them as the backlight on an LCD-based TV (LED TV, mini-LED TV). Unfortunately, microLED TVs have tended to be huge (starting at 110 inches), expensive, and somewhat limited in resolution at smaller sizes.

The company's new Micro LED CX, at 76 inches, is its smallest yet, and Samsung promises it will also be the most affordable microLED TV ever released.

YouTube TV did 4K sports right — so maybe it’s time to cancel it
World Cup in 4K on YouTube TV.

Let us stipulate a few things: When it comes to video, higher resolution is better. Sure, there are diminishing returns — I wouldn't go out and buy an 8K television just yet. But going from 720p to 1080p is a huge leap in quality. Maybe a little less so when you go from 1080p to 4K, but that's also very much going to depend on your circumstances — television size, what room you're in, etc.

And one more stipulation: 4K for World Cup 2022 was pretty much a necessity. If you've ever watched live sports in 4K, you probably already knew that. FuboTV has had some live sports for years now, and YouTube TV — which is the most popular live service in the U.S., and more than five times larger than FuboTV with more than 5 million subscribers at last count — has had it as an option since the summer of 2021. You also could watch in 4K via the Fox Sports app, provided that you already had a subscription to a cable, satellite, or streaming service.
