Samsung LED Deal: 65-inch UN65D8000 3D 1080p HDTV: $3949.99 Shipped

By Rachel Cericola

The summer is over, which probably means that you won't be spending as much time outdoors. In other words, it's time to reconnect with that couch and watch fall TV and catch up on movies. And why not go for one of the best and biggest flat panel TVs out there... if the price is right, of course.  Instead of staring at the same old set from last year, now is the time to upgrade -- because TigerDirect is offering a giant discount on one giant flat panel HDTV.

The online retailer is currently offering an instant $540 off Samsung's 65-inch UN65D8000 1080p 3D LED TV. However, if you add in coupon code QIT44587, that brings the cost down an additional $910, making the total price $3949.99. That price also includes free shipping, making this a nice deal indeed.

This 65-incher will change the way that you look at TV -- literally. Besides the big 1080p HD image, this set includes support for 3D. Hopefully, you can get those goodies from your existing set-top box or a Blu-ray 3D player (check out our Blu-ray Buyer's Guide for 2011 if you need one of those), because Samsung is throwing in two pairs of 3D glasses with the purchase of this set.  If you don't currently have a 3D source, you can take advantage of Samsung's real-time 2D to 3D conversion option.  It's not as good as native 3D but it can look pretty sweet on movies and sports.  Or you can just enjoy the picture in standard 2D mode, because this set looks just fine without glasses too.

Samsung has also packed the Smart TV platform into the UN65D8000. This handy feature allows you to search for content across your TV, the web, apps, and more. It also includes access to many Samsung Apps, such as Netflix, Blockbuster, Hulu Plus, Explore 3D TV, YouTube, ESPN, Pandora, Facebook, Twitter, and more. Also, because this set is part of Samsung's LED 8000 series, it also has a full web browser. To navigate through all of the goodies, the TV comes with the Qwerty Remote. This is a double-sided controller, with a Qwerty keyboard on one side and a standard remote on the other.  And the remote works via Radio Frequency (RF) so you don't have to worry about pointing it right at the TV.

Other features include built-in Wi-Fi, Real 240Hz refresh rate technology, Clear Motion Rate (CMR), Ultra Clear Panel, DLNA support, and ConnectShare Movie. If the set's 65 inches weren't enough to make this the focus of your AV setup, it has four HDMI inputs so you can add a Blu-ray player, receiver, set-top, and other must-have components.

The above price includes shipping, which is a huge bonus. Plus, the TV comes right to your door! Just remember to use that coupon code (QIT44587) if you want to get the full discount. However, you'd better do it quick! These discounts are only good through Saturday, October 1, 2011, or while supplies last.
