Imagine having the newest television, a Samsung 8K television, with a vibrant, amazing 65 inch screen, on a wall in your home. Imagine! After we published an announcement article about this television, one reader quickly commented at the bottom of that page, “Whoa!” That sums it up! I can’t believe that we are able to offer one of these as a contest prize at Best Buy. Samsung is so innovative to create this TV and so generous to send us one to give away on the blog! Read below to learn why I am beyond breathless with excitement about this contest, and to learn how to enter for your chance to win this fantastic television.

My favourite features in the Samsung QLED 8K TV

There are too many marvelous new features in this television to put in a short contest announcement article like this; so, I want to focus on my favourite three features: 8K upscaling, built-in intelligence, and Ambient Mode.

Upscaling technology takes all content to a new level

If I had this television, the first thing I’d watch is the first Harry Potter movie. Seriously. My DVD copy isn’t even widescreen! This would be the ultimate test of the new upscaling technology. Samsung says this television uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to upscale “4K or lower resolution content to appear in stunning near-8K quality for improved details, sharpened edges and reduced noise.” Of course, I also could not wait to see the newest Avengers: Endgame on this huge incredible screen too. What would you watch first to see how different it will be in 8K?

Smart Samsung TV

My current TV is quite dumb. I have to connect multiple steaming boxes for it to mildly resemble a smart TV. In comparison, this Samsung TV is Einstein-like. First of all, it has an “Intelligence Mode” that senses lighting and audio in the room to adjust brightness and volume. So you’ll hear voices over the background without having to touch the remote. Of course, it couldn’t claim to be smart if it wasn’t also flexible: you can control it with the remote, or with Samsung’s voice assistant Bixby, or with a Google Assistant, or with Amazon’s Alexa—even using Airplay 2. Basically everything my streaming boxes—all of them—can do, it can do better!

And the Tizen operating system puts all of your favourite content right where you can most easily access it. That includes the channels that I watch most often, Netflix and Prime Video. Can you see now why I am so excited about this prize?

A television that impresses even when turned off

Walk into my living room, and there on the wall is a big black hole of bleak nothingness. I put up with this unaesthetic, monstrous, peek into the dark recesses of an empty shell for what it can do when turned on. Samsung decided that they can do better. Enter Ambient Mode. This is by far my favourite feature of Samsung’s new televisions. Look at the image on the left for a glimpse of what it can do; see how it blends into the background of the wall behind it! Such a brilliant idea!

With Ambiant Mode, when you turn off your TV it displays an image of the wall behind, or a family photo … Think of the possibilities! No more blackness on a major wall of your room. Put art there; put your child’s baby photo, or a funny pic of your pet. Your TV can now express your personality, your life, even when it’s not entertaining you with a movie.

Samsung 8K televisions are superior

It’s an undeniable fact. Some televisions are better than others. Some televisions deliver a better audio-visual experience simply because they are a better product. And who doesn’t want a better movie experience, better sports experience, and better all-round television in their own homes? Do you? Carefully follow the instructions below and you might have this fabulous Samsung QLED 8K television in your home very soon.

HOW TO ENTER

Entering this contest is easy, but you can only enter once. I told you what my favourite feature is of this television. To enter this contest, you must:

  1. Share (either on social media, in an email, or in person) what your favourite feature of this new Samsung 8K television is, and
  2. Tell us in a comment below this article what your favourite feature is and how you told others about it.

So, a valid entry will have both of those pieces of information. For example, if I was entering this contest I’d put this in a comment below, “I told people about Ambient Mode in an article on the Best Buy Blog.”

WHAT YOU CAN WIN

At the end of this contest, one valid entry will be selected and that person will win a Samsung 65″ 8K UHD HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV.

This contest will run from April 12th until May 5th.

Remember you can only enter once. However, this is a big contest, with a big prize that you really don’t want to keep quiet about. It’s an 8K TV! Tell your friends and family.

  9. The ambient mode is straight out of science fiction! My question is: How much power does the feature use and does it interfere in any way with other equipment (electronically?)

  10. My favourite feature is the upscale any video to 8K as not many 8k content available at this moment. I have shared this on twitter

  11. I shared this article with my husband, the ambient mode is my favourite feature. It will transform our living room with a nice wall art when it’s not in use.

  20. I told my friends in person about how superior this technology is especially with the ambient mode. Fingers are crossed!!

  21. Told my buddy about 8k. I didn’t even know you could get 8K! That is my favorite part about the TV

  22. The ambient mode is a pretty cool feature. Some friends and I, were talking about it the other day, before the Stanley cup playoffs that were on TV.

  26. I wrote about the Intelligent Mode.. love that it can adjust automatically to light and sound in the room.. I wrote a comment on the Best Buy blog. “Samsung 75” tv showcase was the post I commented on”

  28. All my friends at the office agree that Ambient Mode is amazing once I told them all about it.

  30. I told my wife about this TV and we were both very impressed with the Ambient Mode , which turns your TV into a piece of art. What a fantastic idea!

  31. I told my parents about the “Intelligence Mode” that senses lighting and audio in the room to adjust brightness and volume. Both of them are getting older and having a harder time seeing and hearing, this would be great for them.

  32. The built-in intelligence feature is intriguing. I am an IT by profession so I’d like to know more about this feature. Told my wife and she is a fan of the ambient feature. I am not at all surprised coz she is always saying how a big TV ruins her design. Well, I can finally convince her to keep this TV in the living room. I hope we win!

  33. The ambient mode is an amazing feature. My husband is also a fan of the size. He’s the type who into big TVs and this should spoil him. If he’s not spoiled enough already with all the technology coming out. Exciting!

  34. 8K. I’m so excited about this! You have no idea how badly I want this TV and to see what it looks like!

  35. 8k technology! the clear screen when it is turned off. Unbelievable! showed this to my husband and granddaughter.

  40. Told my sister about this TV. She is very fascinated with 8K. She still can not believe that 8K TV is available now.

  43. “Intelligence Mode” really interests myself so that my family doesn’t have to constantly adjust the volume for voices and have the tv automatically account for different volume levels. Thank you for the chance to win a fabulous 8 kK TV!

  44. The Samsung 8K Smart TV, at 65 inches, is a big draw for me because l am at the age where l am happy to experience superior sound and picture at home, rather than trekking to a movie theatre.

    I think that Samsung was brilliant to engineer an audio/visual experience that automatically adjusts light and sound so l am not having to use my remote to hear dialogue masked by background noises , for example, in a scene at a rock concert where the background noise makes it difficult to hear important dialogue, like in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born.

    I also appreciate the Ambient feature because my current TV is like a big black box in my living room when not in use.

    So what is my favourite feature: all of the above plus the fact that it is manufactured by Samsung and sold by the trusted Retailer, Best Buy.

  45. Ambient Mode looks great but I would really like to be in the smart tv world and replace my older Plasma with a clearer and more vibrant picture.
    Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing tv.

  47. I absolutely love the feature ambient mode. What a brilliant idea!! Finally no more giant black hole in the room! Excellent! I shared this link with all of my Facebook friends and coworkers because it’s such a great GIVEAWAY!

  49. I love the Ambient Mode feature. I told my husband about this feature and the 8K upscaling technology with this TV! Fabulous!

  50. I tweeted on twitter about how much I like the upscaling and tagged Best Buy of course! @thetruefinnster.
