I've spent the last couple of days scouring through Prime Day deals for the best TVs going – I've even been live-blogging for the most up-to-date 4K, 8K and FHD TV discounts – and have landed upon the one which, for me, is the very best buy in Amazon's annual sale for 2022.
I am talking about Samsung's 2021 flagship, the QN90A, which is the company's Neo QLED panel type, delivering next-generation brightness that's well beyond its OLED competition and will make for great daytime and nighttime viewing, whatever your room's lighting conditions.
It's not the cheapest model in Amazon's sale, but this level of discount makes for a great purchase if you want a set that's up there among the very best, without paying through the nose for the privilege.
Samsung QN90A Neo QLED 55-inch: was £1499, now £799 at Amazon (save £700)
If you want bright, colourful and the best design all wrapped into one then you want a Samsung QLED.
This one, 2021's flagship QN90A, is a stellar set which ticks all the top-end boxes for your TV needs.
The 55-inch model is almost half price this Prime Day, too, which makes it a killer buy in this year's Amazon sale.
Yes, I know, it's last year's flagship model, rather than the QN90B (or QN95B) that headlines the 2022 lineup (see that all-important B in the product name there?).
But, really, the generational jump between one and the next, while certainly apparent when it comes to anti-reflection and some processing tech, just isn't going to be big enough for most people to warrant not making the big savings that come with buying the older panel.
What's assured in buying the flagship model is that you're future-proofed; protected when it comes to compatibility with the latest formats, including VRR and ALLM for next-gen gaming and the like.
