If you've been wanting to upgrade to a 4K TV for some time, your patience is about to be rewarded. We found a sweet deal on a great 4K Ultra HD TV, with a nice little freebie.
For a limited time, Amazon is slashing the price on the Samsung 55-inch UN55JS8500 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV. This is the 2015 release, so you're getting this year's model -- but definitely not at this year's price. The TV is currently listed for $1,997.99, which is actually $1,002 (33 percent!) off the list price. That cost also includes free shipping right to your front door.
This 4K TV is actually one of Samsung's SUHD TVs, so in addition to 4K, it also has Precision Black for better darkness levels. It even includes Samsung's 2015 Smart TV platform, known as Tizen. This web-based experience promises a more intuitive user interface, better navigation, and the Quick Connect feature. The latter allows users to link the TV with select mobile devices for second-screen viewing.
Other features include a quad-core processor, 3D support, built-in WiFi, four HDMI inputs, and three USB ports. It even comes with one pair of 3D active glasses (SSG-5150GB) for viewing right out of the box.
Of course, image is only half of the experience. Amazon wants to make sure that you don't skimp on the sound, so they are actually throwing in a FREE soundbar with this purchase. It's the Samsung HW-J550, a 2.1 soundbar package with a wireless subwoofer and a total of 320 watts of power. It's important to note that you will need to add this soundbar to your shopping cart, in order to get the freebie. Don't worry, though; the cost will come off before you check out.
This offer is only good through Saturday, August 15, 2015, or while supplies last -- so you'd better start shopping. Also know that it's only available through Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Besides the discount and the free soundbar, other Amazon perks include free Super-Saver shipping (if you're not a Prime customer), Enhanced Delivery, and Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee. The guarantee means that if you find this exact set for a lower price within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund you on the difference. And finally, Enhanced Delivery will ensure that the TV arrives safely, since the shipper will unpack it, inspect it for damage, power it on, and dispose of any packing materials.
