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.

  6. I love the 8K upscaling whoa factor.
    I would love to gift it to my mom – her TV was stolen in broad daylight and the replacement TV is tiny and she has problems seeing it – she loves to have family over to watch travel and other such shows so this would make the experience for her so much more pleasurable. I tweeted and talked at with my ch-workers about the ambient and 8K features.

    Thank you Best Buy for another awesome contest! Someday I might win but for now I can dream.

  23. I love the Ambient Mode which means the TV won’t dominate the living room unless we want it to. I told my husband and co-workers and they were amazed that the TV could act like a chameleon and blend into the background.

  25. Love the “Intelligence Mode” that senses lighting and audio in the room to adjust brightness and volume. Shared on FB.

  29. I told my coworkers about the Ambient Mode and we all agree how cool it is! What a very Batman TV.

  30. I like the idea of a crisper image. the TV we have right now is kind of small and a little older (I don’t think it’s even 4k). I talked to my husband about this one and he got very excited… if we win.

  31. I like the intelligent feature of this TV. I like the idea that it can adjust the light and volume based on what it senses in the room. I can’t wait to watch Avengers End game on it, and Captain Marvel (I haven’t seen either yet).
    I talked to a few of my friends at work about this and they seemed pretty excited about the intelligent feature as well. Though some of them were a bit concerned that it might automatically adjust the brightness to a level they don’t want.

  33. So far nothing negative all pluses for such a spectacular TV feature packed. When only the best will do here it is.
    texted a buddy and emailed a friend to take a look.

  35. My favourite feature of the Samsung 65″ 8K UHD HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV is the ‘dynamic quantum HDR 32X technology’. I told others about this feature of the new TV on my Facebook page, as a public post on April 23, 2019 at 10:43pm PST.

  36. Talked to my parents about a giant TV that could fade into the background with its Ambient mode. Pretty amazing.

  38. I told my whole family about Ambient Mode. This is something that I always thought that tv should do. It allows you to have a great tv in a room without dominating it.

  41. I emailed my wife how Ambient mode would be the perfect way to add some art to the living room.

  42. I told 2 of my neighbours and my girlfriend about this incredible TV and its 8K upscaling feature. It would be amazing to watch movies and sports on this incredible tv

  44. 8K upscaling is my favorite feature, would love to see the huge difference in colours from my LCD screen. Sports, Harry Potter, Star Wars, even Avatar…can only imagine. Sent an email to a buddy, James, to get his thoughts.

  46. My favourite features in the Samsung QLED 8K TV are 8K upscaling, built-in intelligence, and Ambient Mode. I had a converstaion with a coworker today and I told him about the 8K upscaling, built-in intelligence Ambient Mode in an article on the Best Buy Blog.”

    I also told him how he could enter this exciting contest as well as another friend by email.

  47. I think the Tizen operating system to get Netflix instead of streaming it from my laptop would bring me to the 21 century! I am going to email my spouse the details of this TV so it is on our radar to buy.

  49. I told my wife about Ambient Mode in person while watching news on our old boring TV. I also emailed my friend about it who is also looking into buy a new TV.

  50. Bluetooth connectivity, multi-platform voice control compatibility, upscaling for lower resolutions, and ambient mode already make this TV amazing. But actively adjusting light and sound with the use of “intelligence mode” brings a new standard of immersion to pair with the crisp resolution of the Samsung QLED 8k display.
