Save $102: It's way past time to invest in a decent gaming TV. And go beyond decent with the popular Samsung Q80A 55-inch QLED TV now on sale for $897.99 at Amazon. As of May 17, this is the best price ever on this Samsung that was just released in 2021, after about a 10% discount.


That new gaming console you finally still requires a TV that can keep up. Not every 4K TV is cut out for gaming, but there are plenty of options that can match your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X when it comes to performance. And one of the top choices just so happens to come in at a new budget-friendly price.

Gamers will want to check out the sale on the Samsung 55-inch Q80A QLED 4K TV that's now $897.99 at Amazon. This is the lowest price ever on a TV that was released in 2021. While Amazon doesn't list the original price, you're saving about $102 if we go by Best Buy's retail price. Regardless of the real discount amount (which is often hard to find when shopping online), it's still the best price ever for a gaming TV with tons of features.

We'll start with the more essential gaming components. One of the HDMI ports supports the new HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. This allows for higher data transfers over a compatible HDMI 2.1 cable so you can enjoy up to 120Hz refresh rates for exceptionally smooth gameplay. You'll also enjoy super low input lags for responsive gaming and support for variable refresh rates to prevent screen tearing during intensive games.

But it's also good for more than gaming. The Samsung Quantum Processor 4K technology upscales any content to 4K quality and presents over a billion colors in lifelike images. Its Quantum HDR 12x allows for deep details and contrast and offers quality images even at wide viewing angles. You even get great sound every time thanks to dedicated speakers that track objects on the screen for immersive 3D sound.
