Samsung is once again proving the theory that Black Friday might not always be the best time to buy some flagship TVs on sale. Often, it's actually a few months later — right after CES.

Usually, we see the previous year's TVs match their Black Friday prices right after a brand announces the latest version of a certain model at CES, like we did in early January with The Frame. But the post-CES deal we found today is the rarity that beatsBlack Friday pricing: The 65-inch Samsung S85D OLED 4K TV has dropped below $1,000 for the first time ever according to Amazon price tracker Camelcamelcamel, shaving more than 50% off of its original price of $2,099.99. (Amazon's price of $997.99 on the same TV technically beats Samsung's by $2, but note that that one is from a third party seller.)

Samsung hasn't given much detail on its 2025 OLEDs past a name for the fanciest one (S95F), so clowning Black Friday prices like this is kind of a bold move. We'll take it, though.

Even as the entry level model from the 2024 OLED line, Samsung's S85D doesn't skimp on too many specs. It upscales with the same zippy NQ4 AI Gen 2 processor as the more premium 2024 OLEDs, and still has Object Tracking sound as well as Dolby Atmos. It doesn't officially have Samsung's glare-free technology, but it's still said to rock at handling glare in bright rooms. (Its pricier sibling, the 2024 S95D, was Samsung's first glare-free OLED.)

Adding to its watchability in the daytime is better-than-usual SDR brightness (compared to other budget OLEDs) — and for nighttime, its black levels and vast contrast ratio are chef's kiss for watching movies or gaming in a dark room. Other features to note include a 120Hz refresh rate (compared to 144Hz on more expensive models), Pantone-validated color, and quick phone-to-TV casting.
