1. Samsung S95F OLED TV

I got the chance to try out the Samsung S95F OLED at the ZDNET lab and was very impressed with how much powerful tech Samsung managed to pack into such a thin TV. The updated OLED panel delivers rich, bold colors and deep contrast, while HDR10 enhances details for everything from Hollywood classics to the latest blockbusters. The integrated gaming dashboard adds cloud‑gaming support, VRR to prevent screen tearing, and an automatic low‑latency picture mode.

2. Sony Bravia 8 II OLED TV

The Sony Bravia 8 II is an updated version of the brand’s flagship OLED, offering a brighter picture than its predecessors and extensive fine‑tuning options. Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ turns the entire screen into a speaker for 3‑D audio that follows on‑screen action, delivering near‑perfect audio‑video sync. It also includes exclusive VRR support for PS5 gaming.

6. TCL T7

If you need a big‑screen TV on a budget, the TCL T7 is a solid pick. It offers Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound, a 144 Hz refresh rate for console gaming, integrated voice controls via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, and screen‑sharing via AirPlay or Chromecast.

7. Insignia F20 (32‑inch)

A great secondary screen for a bedroom, workshop, or kids’ playroom. The 720p panel delivers decent picture quality for streaming, while DTS Virtual:X audio provides cleaner sound. Pre‑loaded apps include Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+, and parental controls let you restrict inappropriate content.

This almost‑perfect option creates a truly theatrical experience at home. The 98‑inch screen delivers crisp 4K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate for ultra‑smooth motion—ideal for movie nights and gaming marathons.

How did we choose these Presidents’ Day deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals that capture our own interest—devices and products we want, need, or would recommend not only to our readers but also to friends and family. Our experts look for deals at least 20 % off (or rarely on sale), using established price‑comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually worth your time.

We also examine customer reviews and rely on our own hands‑on experience with new tech to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products we recommend. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice and to make you aware of price drops so you can shop smarter.
