Dead set on ignoring our advice and common sense by pulling the trigger on getting an 8K TV this Black Friday? Then this deal on the 75-inch Samsung QN700C is the best, and only, one we’ve spotted that’s worth your attention.
The deal is live on the Samsung Store right now and lets you grab the giant 75-inch QN700C Neo QLED for £2999, a hefty £900 saving on its regular £3899 price.
And if you want an 8K TV, this is one of the healthiest deals we’ve seen – especially considering the fact the QN700C is Samsung’s latest “entry” option to the resolution, having been unveiled alongside the Samsung S95C at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas in January.
So why aren’t we singing from the rooftops to get your wallet out and buy it? There are two reasons.
First, we haven’t reviewed it yet, so we can’t personally attest to its picture quality. Second, and more importantly, we don’t recommend anyone but the most enthusiastic of early adopters invest in 8K yet. There is next to no content mastered in 8K so the majority of the time you’ll be relying on the TV’s upscaling powers.
With wi-fi 7 on the horizon, which focuses in part on 8K streaming, that could change at some point, but not soon enough for us to wholeheartedly shift our advice.
That’s especially true considering the fact it’s Black Friday and for a modest £300 more you can get your hands on a Panasonic TX-77LZ2000B. The Panasonic TX-77LZ2000B is available on Currys now with a hefty £300 discount, letting you grab it for £3299.
This is the 77-inch version of the Panasonic LZ2000 we gave five stars to last year. Though it has since been superseded by the MZ2000 as Panasonic's flagship, which features next-generation MLA tech, the 2022 set is still a class leader when it comes to picture authenticity. At this price, that means, to our minds, that the LZ2000 is still a much better purchase for cinema fans after an “as the director intended” experience. As noted by our testers in our Panasonic LZ2000 review:
“Its dedication to picture authenticity and consistency combines with that spacious and atmospheric sound to create one of the most cinematic all-in-one solutions that money can buy.”
