Best Super Bowl 2018 Samsung TV Deals: 4K Smart TV Bargains For The Big Game

Following
This article is more than 6 years old.

The USA’s biggest annual sporting event is upon us once again. On Sunday February 4th, more than 100 million viewers are expected to adopt their preferred positions on their favorite couches to watch the New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles for US sports’ biggest prize.

The question is, what television will all those 100 million sets of eyes be watching the Super Bowl 52 on? The Super Bowl traditionally triggers a huge spike in TV buying by sports fans keen to take their enjoyment of the big game to the next level - and it’s fair to say that TV brands and retailers seem to be falling over themselves even more than usual this year to try and get some of that TV buying action.

In fact, the battle for your Super Bowl cash is so bitter in 2018 that some TVs are already getting discounted to sub-Black Friday prices.

Samsung, in particular, has really hit the ground running with its early price cuts. So below, organized according to screen size, is a list of 19 Samsung TVs (compiled with the assistance of specialist deal finder BestBlackFriday.com) which are all already available with prices as good as or substantially lower than their Black Friday equivalents.

I’ve highlighted my personal favorites from the list with some background information, but in truth any of the models shown here can be considered outstanding value for money at the prices shown.

75 INCHES

1. Samsung QN75Q7FAMFXZA, $3,299.99 (save $2,700 - $200 cheaper than Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 75-inch QLED 4K, HDR TV

Product link

It’s hard to think of a better way to enjoy a huge sporting occasion than this Q7 series TV. As well as providing you with a massive 75 inches of ultra bright, ultra colorful 4K and high dynamic range pictures, its screen is fitted with state of the art anti-reflection technology to ensure that the picture loses none of its dynamism no matter how bright the room you’re watching it in. Touchdown!

2. Samsung UN75MU8000FXZA, $2,299.99 (save $1,500, same price as Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 75-inch Class MU8000 4K UHD TV

Product link

The MU8000’s don’t use Samsung’s QLED technology, and so don’t run as brightly or provide as wide a color range when watching HDR sources such as 4K Blu-rays (the Super Bowl will not be appearing in HDR). They don’t have the same anti-reflection filter as the QLED screens either. They’re still strong performers for their money, though, especially where detail and color vibrancy are concerned. And this is a really great price for such a high quality 75-inch TV.

3. Samsung UN75MU6300FXZA, $1,799.99 (save $1,000, $100 cheaper than Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 75-inch Class MU6300 4K UHD TV

Product link

Despite coming from the the lower end of Samsung’s 2017 4K LCD range, this set is much better than any 75-inch TV costing just $1,800 has any right to be.

65 INCHES

1. Samsung QN65Q9FAMFXZA, $3,299.99 (save $2,700 - same price as Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 65-inch flagship QLED 4K TV

Product link

Samsung’s flagship Q9F TV range for 2017 are the brightest TVs released to date, making them capable of delivering unmatched impact with high dynamic range sources, and a massive color range. They also use the same anti-reflection filter as the Q7 series detailed earlier, making them uniquely easy to watch in a bright room situation.

2. Samsung QN65Q7CAMFXZA, $2,299.99 (save $2,000 - $300 cheaper than Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 65-inch Class Q7C Curved QLED 4K TV

Product link

This is the curved, 65-inch version of the Q7F detailed earlier. If you tend to sit quite close to your TV, the Q7C’s curved screen can add to your immersion in the big game. If you don’t sit especially close, though, you might be better with the flat version.

3. Samsung QN65Q7FAMFXZA,$2,199.99 (save $1,800 - $300 cheaper than Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 65-inch Class Q7F flat QLED 4K TV

Product link

This is the 65-inch version of the Q7 TV at the top of this list.

4. Samsung UN65MU9000FXZA, $1,699.99 (save $1,000, same price as Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 65-inch Class MU9000 4K UHD TV

Product link

A slightly more powerful version of the MU8000 detailed earlier, with a more precise backlight. Though I personally think the MU8000 series pictures look more natural.

5. Samsung UN65MU8500FXZA, $1,399.99 (save $1,000, $100 cheaper than Black Friday 2017)

Screen details: 65-inch Class MU8500 Curved 4K UHD TV

Product link

Curved version of the MU8000 series. The curved screen may look prettier and suit you better if you sit close to your TV, but it does cause some minor backlight clouding you don’t get with the flat version.

Screen details: 49-inch Class Q6F QLED 4K TV

Product link

Although this is still a QLED TV, it’s quite a significant step down in performance terms from the Q7F series. But then again, it’s quite a step up from non-QLED models!
