Walmart drops a great deal on a 43-inch Samsung 4K HDR TV

Walmart is holding a flash sale on one of Samsung’s most reliable 4K Smart TVs, dropping the price of the 43-inch beauty down to $280 — a total savings of $220. Better still, those who order by the end of the day can arrange to have it delivered on Friday, leaving just enough time to set it up before Game of Thrones* airs on Sunday.

What’s more, Walmart is offering customers the option to take that $280 and slice it into twelve more digestible chunks of $28, which can be paid over a twelve-month period. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s also offering a $25 rebate in the form of statement credit to those who take advantage of the monthly payment arrangement.

Prerequisites aside, the TV on offer is a 43-inch 4K Smart TV. It’s a member of the NU7100 Series, bundling a crisp LED screen, three HDMI slots, two USB ports and built-in Wi-Fi — so it’s armed with all the tools you’ll need to hook up entertainment accessories, like gaming consoles, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.

You shouldn’t need to use the latter, though, as the NU7100 Series is a smart TV, meaning it can be used to tap into a suite of streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies, Hulu, Netflix and YouTube, as well as a number of miscellaneous streams of entertainment, like WRC and WWE Network.

The 43-inch Samsung UN43NU7100 can run both native 4K and standard Full HD content in an upscaled 4K resolution. It also benefits from HDR, which can be toggled to extract additional detail from low-light scenes — but it’s a bit hit and miss, sometimes appearing over-saturated.

Still, at a touch under $300 it’s an absolute steal, offering an immersive, lifelike viewing experience for both native and upscaled 4K content — something most budget 4K TVs around the same price point fail to achieve — and when you factor in Walmart’s offer to split the cost over a twelve-month period, it’s a killer deal.

Not sold? Check out our buying guide to find out what makes a fantastic TV, then you’ll see that the 43-inch Samsung UN43NU7100 checks all the boxes. But if you’re looking for something a little bigger, head over to our list of other TV deals — there’s a top-of-the-range 75-inch QLED for a smidgen less than half price.

* You won’t be able to watch it in 4K, though. Sigh.

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.
