'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

This Micro RGB TV rivals pricier OLED models - and I'd recommend it, especially on sale
Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.
I recently got to go hands-on with the all-new Samsung R95H at the ZDNET testing lab in Louisville, and I was impressed with the bold, bright colors and deep, inky blacks it produced. With a picture quality that has the potential to rival, or even surpass, OLED models, the R95H is a worthy upgrade to any home theater or living room. And right now at Best Buy, you can save up to $1,000 on one, with the 85-inch version offering the highest discount.
Also: Samsung OLED vs. QLED vs. Micro RGB
The new Micro RGB panel uses much smaller LEDs that include red, green, and blue colors to create up to 100% of the BT.2020 color spectrum. This means you'll get an incredible image with fine details and sharp contrast, similar to what you'll find in a high-end OLED model.
In both standard and high definition testing, color accuracy was fairly consistent, which means you'll spend less time recalibrating your picture settings and more time enjoying your favorite content. The matte display also helps to cut annoying glare and reflections that can distract you and ruin your visibility -- especially at odd viewing angles.
Also: Samsung R95H review
The impressive picture is also backed up by a solid sound system featuring Samsung's Object Tracking Sound+ technology as well as Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound for 3D spatial audio that follows the on-screen action. And if you want even more robust audio, you can easily connect both wired and wireless speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers to the TV for a custom sound system. Console gamers can also take advantage of the FreeSync Premium Pro VRR support that prevents screen tearing and stuttering, as well as the 165Hz native refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for the ultimate gaming screen.
How I rated this deal
The Samsung R95H is an impressive TV with a picture quality that has the potential to rival its premium OLED cousins and competitors. With bold, bright colors, deep contrast, and exceptional details, you can enjoy everything from old Hollywood classics to the latest blockbusters. And with a discount of up to $1,000, you'll have extra cash to round out your home theater upgrade. That's why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor's rating.
