Samsung 8K UHDTV Big Screen
Once upon a time, televisions were a 50-pound, 18’’ by 18’’ cube placed in the centre of the living room, and occasionally needed to be smacked on the side to get a better signal. There was just as much frame as there was screen, and they were, to put it bluntly, a serious eyesore. We’ve come a long way since then; TVs are no longer the clunky boxes they once were. Now they come thin and sleek and built to bring a room together.

You could say TVs display the greatest 21st century art form; video. And, yes, although your television may also secretly display an unhealthy amount of trashy reality stars and celebrity chefs, it does the job by letting you see everything you (secretly) want to watch.

Since we’ve established televisions as a vessel for fine or not-so-fine art, the one you choose should display artwork the way it deserves—on a big screen. Like a Jackson Pollock painting, the bigger the better. BestBuy.ca has the perfect big screen TV for your media room or home theatre ready to ship, so let’s go over just a few of your options.
