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.

  2. I told all my followers on twitter about this TV (@BooFA1010)
    The Tizen OS operating system is by far the best feature, along with the incredible 8K resolution screen

  3. I’ve seen TV’s with the 240 motion rate….incredible picture. And my son is a gamer, so he might even let me watch some tv, if I win.

  5. Ambient Mode is my favorite. What a cool idea! I have emailed my friends and family to share the contest and details of Samsung’s 8K technology.

  6. Ambient Mode is my favorite feature that was identified and I have made it known on this blog and also on my twitter account.

  7. I appreciate the “Intelligence Mode” that senses lighting and audio in the room as well as the superior quality of the picture.

  9. We have a hole of bleak nothingness. Glad it’s not black.
    So we would be able to fillthis hole with an illustration of whatever our is our favorite @ the moment using Ambient Mode when we win this Samsung 8K TV.
    Thank you for the chance!

  10. The Ambient Mode of this 8K is awesome and shared this with my hubby and would love to win!!

  16. I like the “Intelligence Mode” that senses lighting and audio in the room to adjust brightness and volume. I always hate having to turn the volume up and down to be able to hear certain voices. I also like that I can use
    voice commands with Google home.
    I am telling everyone about this on the Best Buy Blog .

  17. I told my followers on twitter about. It has so many great features which makes it so hard to choose a favourite.
    That said…the “Intelligence Mode” is otherworldly and great for people who are take a while to adjust to new tech which makes it great for all ages.

  20. That Ambient Mode looks awesome – I shared this article on facebook, twitter, and linkedin. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  24. Intelligence Mode is my favourite feature. Ability to use voice commands would be great to have. I have shared the infromation on facebook.

    Can’t wait to see what 8K does to my favourite films.

  27. I like the Intelligence Mode that can sense the lighting and thee audio and that i can also use one remote. I emailed some of my friends about the neat features.

  33. I love the Smart TV feature. So many time when watching a program the background noise drowns out the TV audio. With the capability of this TV to adjust to the atmosphere in the room not only would the viewing pleasure be enhanced but now the audio as well. I have sent a link via email to my friends to inform them of this phenomenal offer

  34. My favourite feature is the Intelligence Mode. Having the TV automatically adjust to the surroundings would be great.

  35. I love the Intelligence mode and the ability to hear voices more clearly. So many actors today let their voices drop at the end of a sentence so they are hard to hear. This addresses my hearing issues.

    I told my friends about this tv and it’s features on Facebook.

  37. I absolutely love the Ambient Mode feature, instead of a blank screen in the wall, this tv can be a piece of art on the wall. I just told my partner about this fantastic television and have shared it on Facebook. Thanks for this opportunity!

  39. My fave feature of the Samsung QLED 8K TV is the spectacular mind blowing 8K HDR (7680 x 4320) resolution & Smart Intelligence Mode!!! I sent an e-mail to my hubby to ensure that he sees the features of this amazing tv, plus also posted on Facebook.

  40. I love the ambient mode. Wondering if there’s a way I can turn it into a mirror or use the cam to act like a window somehow…

  41. I love the ambient mode, no more blank black when tv is not on, I have shared this on my twitter @dolli7

  44. What’s not to like about this tv I’m a huge fan of the intelligence and will be showing my wife pictures of our dream tv. Can’t wait I to put this in our home. Would def be a center price to talk around

  47. I told my girlfriend about this Amazing Tv by Samsung and how it has these great features and 65 inch screen size I mentioned to her my favorite feature was the Smart intelligence Mode and how it adjusts to the sou d’s and light I g in a room

  48. I emailed my daughter about this Tv having the Intelligence Mode. The way it can automatically adjust to lighting and noise changes in the room sounds so convenient.
