If you're looking for a mind-blowing TV on an excellent deal, may we direct you to none other than the Samsung Q90R – which we currently rate as the best TV you can splash your cash on – because John Lewis is offering a free Samsung soundbar with the TV, worth £299.

In our Samsung Q90R review, we said the TV "takes QLED past OLED with superb HDR dynamics and a host of smart features" – and it won the T3 Award as the best TV of last year!
The Samsung Q90R is a QLED TV with an ultra-bright backlight behind its 4K display, which gives it dazzlingly vibrant HDR colours. But it can also dim areas of the backlight with precision, meaning that dark areas look truly dark, unlike cheaper LCD TVs.
The result is, simply, the most spectacular TV we've seen yet for movies and TV shows – especially because it's adept at upscaling lower-quality footage to look excellent in 4K, and at giving SDR content some of the extra pop and realism of HDR.
And in these times of being stuck indoors with need of distraction, the fact that it's also an excellent display for gaming helps – it has some of the lowest levels of input lag we've ever measured, meaning there's no delay from when you press a button to when you see the result on-screen.
One of its few weaknesses is that the audio quality is merely average, but John Lewis is fixing that by throwing in a Samsung HW-R550 soundbar, worth £299! This soundbar optimises its audio for the type of content you're watching – making sure speech can be heard in quiet scenes, for example – and has a wireless subwoofer for giving actions scenes extra punch.
