Walmart knocks $150 off this incredible 55-inch Samsung 4K TV

By Josh Levenson October 2, 2019

Best reach for your credit card because Walmart has knocked $150 off one of Samsung’s finest 55-inch 4K TVs, dropping it down to just $380. That’s right — we’re looking at a big-brand television equipped with a crystal-clear 4K Ultra HD screen and all the smarts you could ever need for less than $500.

The 55-inch Samsung NU6900 is a must-have for anyone looking to breathe fresh life into their home entertainment setup with a 4K TV that’s suited to routine viewing, and that’s when it’s on the shelves for the usual $530. So at the discounted $380, it’s a tasty treat that’s no doubt selling like hotcakes.

In a nutshell, the Samsung NU6900 was designed for people who want to come home after a long, tiring day at work, crack open a bottle of their favorite alcohol, and fire up Netflix. Granted, it won’t provide the poison, but it does have the streaming service on tap — no streaming stick required.

Of course, that’s not all it’s good for. The 4K Ultra HD screen and UHD Engine also do a fantastic job at taking standard HD and Full HD content and displaying it at a higher 4K Ultra HD resolution when watching an older show or movie, and there’s HDR10+ for extracting additional detail from the scene.

There’s something for everyone here — even those who want to hook up a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One and battle to the end in Fortnite Battle Royale or kick a ball around a field in FIFA 20 — making it the ideal centerpiece for any family room or bedroom alike.

It’s also the perfect size. A 55-inch screen is regarded by many as the sweet spot for home viewing — it’s small enough to fit into most entertainment setups and large enough to immerse. So whether you want to mount it on a wall, rest it on a console table, or drop it into a bed, it should do the trick.

If you’re after something with a bit more heft, there are a number of larger 4K TVs on sale right now, including a 70-inch Vizio V-Series for $700, a 65-inch LG NanoCell for $1,000 and a 70-inch Sony Bravia for $1,100 — the latter of which is just so happens to be one of the best offers we’ve seen lately.

Weekend deal: Save $50 on this popular 4K dash cam at Best Buy

The Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam on a car's windshield.

Whether it's a minor fender bender or a more significant car accident, having a dash cam can be a lifesaver, especially if you're dealing with insurance. Of course, there are a lot of dash cams to pick from with various levels of quality and features. Luckily, one of the better dash cams is on sale right now, the Nextbase 4k Dash Cam, and while it usually goes for $400, you can grab it from Best Buy for just $350. While that may not seem like much, $350 for a 4k-capable dash cam is impressive.

Why you should buy the Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam
The Nexbase 622GW is packed with some impressive features, such as the 4k resolution, which films at 30fps, although it can film at 60fps at 2k and, interestingly, 120fps at 1080p, although we doubt you'll very much run the last mode regularly. More importantly, it comes with some advanced image stabilization to help deal with the vibrations and bumps from your car, plus it comes with some next-level night vision and image polarization to help with sunny conditions that might otherwise cause glare. Even better, it has internal processing capable of helping with misty conditions, making this a great camera for all-weather driving, which is impressive for such a small package.

You can continue working, gaming, or browsing on the main display, while the rest is still visible on the secondary display. To do this, you'll want to check out some of the best monitor deals out there.
Today's best 4K monitor deals
There's a lot to choose from, but if you want to utmost quality and best visual experience you can opt for a 4K ultra-HD monitor. And yes, if you must know, there are 5k monitors available, too. Like a 4K TV, they're designed to display ultra-high-resolution content at a solid framerate, usually 60 frames per second or above -- 120Hz is the sweet spot. To help out a little, and help you sift through the vast selection, we've rounded up the best 4K monitor deals, all in one place.

Are 4K monitors worth it?
You might be wondering is 4K monitors are really worth it? After all, computer media and experiences are mostly different than anything you'll encounter on your average TV. But here's the thing, computers have access to a much larger array of resolutions, including high and ultra-high resolutions. Moreover, computers benefit from much smoother refresh rates, sometimes in excess of 120Hz -- 120 frames per second. That means you get a much smoother picture, a much better experience -- especially while gaming -- and frankly, there's nothing quite like it. Plus, the higher the supported resolution the higher you can crank the quality of your desktop and laptop visuals, provided they support higher resolutions.
What is the best size for a 4K monitor?
It really depends on what you're using the monitor for and what activities you plan to partake in. For example, if you're gaming or watching movies, the larger the display the better. If you're just going to be doing busywork and need enough screen real estate for a couple of browser windows then you can get by with a smaller monitor. For gamers, we always recommend looking at ultra-wide and curved displays because they're more immersive. In regards to size, the sweet spot is really anything about 27-inches or above. Ideally, you want 32-inches or so, that way you can use a single monitor with split windows to have multiple things going on at a time. Things get even better if you decide to expand with an extra monitor or two.
