4K TV DEALS

For some, their TV is just as important as what console they’re playing. And while just about every retailer on the planet is going to have a deal for a multitude of TVs, we’d love to give you our honest advice on two worthwhile choices.

For a full list recommendations, check out our 4K TV deals post.

• The Samsung KS8000 is one of our top picks for a 4K TV. Without getting too technical, the KS8000 excels in Game Mode in 1080p and its frame rate in 4K and HDR mode is nearly as good. The built in app support and ability to use universal remotes are huge pluses. It retails for around $899 on Amazon.
• The 2016 Vizio P (C1) is also a stunning TV worth considering. While it uses Dolby Vision, not HDR, it still is impressive. It has incredibly low lag in both 1080p and 4K mode, which makes it perfect for gaming. What really sets it apart is the small tablet it comes with, instead of a remote. It sells for about $799 at Best Buy.

If we find even better deals, we’ll update this list.
