Samsung’s 65-inch S85H OLED TV is down to $1,497.99 from $1,997.99, a $500 discount that works out to about 25% off—that marks its lowest price yet, according to price trackers. Samsung offers the S85H in sizes ranging from 48 to 83 inches, with discounts available across the lineup, but the 65-inch model is the one I would look at first for most living rooms because it gives you a large OLED panel without pushing the price past $1,500. The deal also comes with free room-of-choice delivery, which usually costs $19.99, although it does not include unpacking, setup, or hauling away your old TV.

In an OLED screen, each pixel can switch itself off, making dark scenes have deeper blacks and better contrast, which can make movies look more convincing at night. Plus, with Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen2 processor working on lower-resolution content, older shows and HD streams should also look much cleaner. That smoother picture carries over to sports and gaming too, thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate—gamers also get Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium support to help cut down on screen tearing. For everyday streaming, Samsung’s Tizen platform has the usual apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube, while built-in Alexa gives you another way to control the TV without reaching for the remote.

That said, while the S85H looks good in a dimmer room, it may not have the same punch in a bright space as Samsung’s higher-end OLED models. Samsung also skips Dolby Vision in favor of HDR10+, which could be a drawback if you watch a lot of Dolby Vision content. The built-in speakers are another area where you may want more, especially for movies, so a soundbar could end up becoming part of the overall cost. None of those issues make the S85H a bad buy, but they do make it a better fit for someone who cares most about OLED contrast, gaming performance, and a large screen, rather than getting the brightest picture or the most complete home-theater feature set.
