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.

  2. I told my wife about the Upscaling technology. We also want to watch the first Harry Potter movie on it too 🙂

  3. I told my husband about the Ambient, Auto Game, Game Motion Plus, Dynamic Black EQ, and Game Enhancer modes automatically optimize the display so you can enjoy all your content to its fullest potential since he is a gamer and also tweeted @prettyblissful

  4. I told my family about how wonderful Ambient Mode would be as we don’t have any way to hide the tv in our room!

  5. I have told my mom and entire family about the ambient mode in person! I tell anyone about this new TV whenever technology comes up! all three features are amazing and this is definitely an amazing prize!

  6. I Really Love the new ambient mode I love how this new feature changes the setting of a living room
    As soon as I saw this Tv I was amazed and called up my buddies and told them immediately about this news feature

  7. I’m really impressed with the new features, especially the Ambient Mode. My cat likes to hide behind the TV. I would be able to see her then? My son is looking for a big-screen and I told him about this one.

  8. My favourite feature is that it has “Intelligence Mode”. I think that is so cool!! I shared on Twitter with my followers!

  9. I told my family and friends to check out this blog about the Samsung 65″ 8K UHD HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV!! I told them about my favourite feature, Ambiant Mode, how when you turn off your TV it displays an image of the wall behind, or anything their heart desires, like a photo of our recent 80th Birthday party for Mom! I tweeted too @AlayneLangford thank you so much for the chance!! 🙂

  10. Told my best friend about it. We are both excited at the thought of a television that can look like a background or look like art. What a great idea!

  11. My favorite feature is Ambient Mode. If the TV is turned off, it will be the same colour as the wall behind it or you can display art, photos or family photos . There is not just a+ big black screen.

  13. wowwee what an interesting design, I mean 65 Inch , with an intelligence mode, wowee , and it blends into the background wall, how amazing is that, I would so LOVE to own it

  14. Wow! I can’t believe it can display the wall or a picture even when it is turned off. This really is a work of art!!!

  17. Wow what is not to like about this TV? The ambiant mode is great but also not having cords to every add on box, plus the auto adjustment of sound and brightness. I told my husband to add it to my wish list for my birthday raving about all it can do

  18. Since I am an older person with some hearing issues, I am impressed that the Samsung QLED 8K tv optimizes sound for each scene. I told my daughters this when they were visiting last week in case they want to surprise me with a gift.

  22. I think the most striking design feature of Samsung 65″ 8K UHD HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV is the new Ambient Mode, it lets you fill the screen with either a pre-loaded artwork or one of your own photographs, so that you can see this rather than a black screen when you’re not actively watching the TV, so cool. Shared on twitter @bestbuycanada @theturnermother.

  24. The Direct Full Array 16X with concentrated LED zones draws out every detail from even the darkest scenes. I told my father about it, in person.

  25. Wow! I told my hubby about the upscaling feature! I want to play ALL my classic Star Wars immediately!

  26. I told all my friends and family in person plus on Facebook about how awesome this TV is!! It’s a Samsung after all!! My favorite feature is that it’s HUGE And I can put a beautiful painting behind it and it will be a BEAUTIFUL picture frame when it’s not in use(which will be rarely since I LOVE watching tv!) Hahaha!! Please pick me because my other Samsung was broken during a move and I need a new one!!

  27. That is amazing!!!! Looks great on the wall even when it’s turned off! I shared this with my mom and will copy the link to share it on Facebook. Really, any tv is better than what we have, 32 inch not even a smart tv because I’m a single mom of 5 and that’s all I could afford but the light feature while it’s off and blends in with the wall, blows my mind.

  28. I told my other half that this is my new wish item mainly because it has all of the tech features for me and the design appeal for her! (ambient mode) I think she’s actually considering it but sure would be a nice win!

  30. I texted my brother to say I loved this TV especially ambient mode. I want a new TV but something smart looking.

  32. I told people in person about the Tizen smart technology in Samsung’s QLED TVs. It offers incredible soft ware to enhance the picture and sound of anything played. Whether it is 4K video or old clips, the system works to give you the best viewing experience possible.

  33. I love the idea for it to have the ability to upscale 4K or lower resolution content to appear in stunning near-8K quality for improved details, sharpened edges and reduced noise as of now I and most people don’t have a tv to do this. My wife and I have be trying to get better quality out of our 4k tv since I showed her this page yesterday. It’s just not possible on ours to even get what I would call 4k and our first show would be to watch the Game of Thrones series shared with my wife and on facebook

  34. I am learning about ambient mode it is the coolest feature, I told my grandchildren about it and they are so tech smart saying they can show me how to use the wonderful new features from Samsung.

  35. The thing I love most about the Samsung Ambient Mode TV is the Ambient Mode.Then everything else after that. This would be an awesome win !!.
    I shared on Facebook.

  36. The thing I love most about the Ambient Mode TV is that it is a Samsung. Than everything else after that. This would be an awesome win !!.
    I shared on Facebook.

  37. New technology, improved details, sharpened edges and reduced noise;just like the the ad says. and 8K is better then 4K. Of course the large 65″ size and the fact that is a smart TV also matters. don’t know nothing about the ambient mode or the intelligent mode.

  38. I like the upscale “4K or lower resolution content to appear in stunning near-8K quality for improved details, sharpened edges” component.
    I shared this in email to friends.

  39. I’m so excited for “Intelligence Mode” what a great concept can’t wait to see it in action. I’ve emailed 2 family members this article!

  46. upscaling technology would be the best for GOT watching! Told my colleagues about the TV, one of them might actually buy it to watch GOT lol

  47. I can’t just puck one reason I’d love to win this but I would like to enjoy the smart technology perhaps remove my cable subscription.. the Ambiant Mode is an interesting feature. I’ll definitely tell my friends via Twitter, instagram and massager. Good luck everyone

  48. MY friend and I watch movies at home at all the time, I like the idea of 8K and he does too!
