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. Share it on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit. Tell the world that Samsung has created an amazing new TV and sent one to Best Buy for this contest.

  1. I told my friends about built-in intelligence that senses lighting and audio in the room to adjust brightness and volume.

  2. I told my husband (in person) about the awesome new Samsung QLED 8K TV and the Ambient mode which I thought was pretty genius. He agrees that is a great new feature. Why didn’t anyone think of this before, it makes sense to utilize the screen when it is not in use as a “TV”. He thought the upscale technology would be great since he watches a lot of content that is not even 4K.

  3. Told my riding buddies about the ambient mode, but we all wondered if we really wanted the TV to disappear, or just play the game at 8k!

  4. My favorite feature is the Ambient Mode . I think that in order to get my wife’s approval this feature would help to blend in such a huge tv in our living room.
    I have talked to all my close friends about this feature and they all agree that it would get wife’s approval .

  7. I love the ambient mode. The upscale is great too. Great tv, and this Christmas is probably when we’ll go shopping around for one, but if we won, this would be a great early summer gift that would get a whole lot of use!

  27. Hands down the Ambient Mode on the Samsung 8K television is my favourite feature. I shared with my friends at Easter dinner how cool this feature is and how the TV can blend in with your background when off.

  28. My favourite feature is Ambient Mode! I’m very aware of the aesthetic of a room and ambient mode would definitely improve the aesthetics of our family room – which would make me very happy! We had a discussion about this feature with our extended family at our Easter dinner! Everyone agreed that it was a very cool idea.

  35. I favour Samsung as my preference across their product lines. I own 2 Samsung printers, 1 colour laser, 1 multifunction B/W laser, Samsung S9 plus, monitors, 2 older model flat screens 20″ and 40″ range now.
    Adding QLED 8K big screen TV from Best Buy would be like a wish from my wishlist.
    Often I will share with others through my social media sites such as F B.
    I could not imagine the quality of this QLED 8K big screen TV from Best Buy because I have never owned a tv with this quality.
    Samsung has so many products to choose from, really my confidence comes from experience with product so when I make a purchase Samsung means Quality and Value across all product lines offered by Samsung.
    Their product lines include electronics, semiconductors, aerospace, home appliances plus much more.
    Samsung manufactures product for other brand name manufacturers, with its research and development team always expanding their knowledge while developing new technologies which I believe makes Samsung the “Brand” that gives me confidence.
    It is easy to talk to anyone, especially Friends and Family about Samsung, recommending, well, there is so much in the name “SAMSUNG” to check out electronics such as televisions and phones, laptops, home appliances and much more.
    Samsung, for me, has always inspired confidence with any purchase from their product line. The name Samsung stands for much more than the brand name, synonymous with trust quality service support when I buy a Samsung Product.

  37. I loveee the ambient feature. What a great Idea Samsung always delivers, Definately going to go look at this model at Best Buy. Told my husband about it.

  38. I think the Intelligence Mode is awesome so I do not need to adjust volume all the time. I told my brother about it in person!
