SAVE $900: As of May 27, the 65-inch Samsung S85D OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,199.99. That’s more than 40% off its retail price of $2,099.99.

April product releases bring May price drops. That’s the mantra to remember if you’re ever looking for a TV on sale after Black Friday and football-related sales have passed.

Take the current situation at Samsung, for example: As the 2025 version of the brand’s budget-friendly OLED, the S85F, gets comfy after its April release, the 2024 S85D has received a giant price cut — $900 off the 65-inch model. Once $2,099.99, the 65-inch Samsung OLED is now up for grabs for just $1,199.99. That’s $700 cheaper than the sale price of the 2025 65-inch S85F TV.

If you’ve never experienced the magic of self-lighting OLED pixels IRL, this is your chance to see why so many people generally prefer OLED over QLED.

Opting for the 2024 version of Samsung’s entry level OLED would mean settling for slightly less vibrant color performance. (Samsung had to make upgrades somewhere.) But the S85D still holds its own in bright rooms, where it’s able to retain its deep black levels just as well — if not better than — the more expensive S85F. Daytime viewing is typically the one scenario where QLED wins, so any OLED that performs decently in ambient lighting gets extra points.

The Samsung S85D is also a solid contender for a budget gaming TV with a 120Hz refresh rate and four HDMI 2.1 ports.
