I’m a TV expert and this Samsung QLED Q60 discount is my favourite deal right now

At any one time, you’ll find a LOT of TVs on sale.

My favourite one right now is, without a doubt, the 43-inch Samsung Q60 QLED TV that’s available at Currys.

Currys have reduced the cost of Samsung’s 43-inch Q60 QLED by £80

This modest-sized TV from Samsung’s Q60 line has been reduced by £80 to £499 – and while that’s not a huge price drop, it’s still the most exciting TV deal I’ve seen online this week.

That’s because it’s genuinely exciting to see a QLED television on the right side of £500.

What is QLED TV?

Lots of people probably have no idea what QLED TV means (and fair enough) – but it’s definitely an acronym you should look out if you’re looking for a new TV.

Nearly all TVs now are 4K and offer ‘ultra high-definition’ levels of picture quality – but not all 4K TVs are created equally.

TV manufacturers have developed new forms of screen tech to improve screen quality even further – lots of brands make OLED TVs but Samsung specialises in QLED.

Since I don’t have an engineering degree, I won’t (read: can’t) go into the science behind the layer of ‘quantum dots’ that sits in front of the LED display in QLED televisions.

But can tell you what this innovation does, which is optimise the colour and contrasts levels of whatever you’re watching.

You know how the dark areas of a TV screen can look washed out? QLED fixes that, restoring blacks to the deeper tones they should be.

This can work wonders if you’re watching TV in bright daylight, or with the ceiling lights on.

Also, with QLED tech the TV screen looks the same from every angle: in other words, there’s no scrabbling for the ‘best seat’ in the room.

Samsung’s QLED screen technology offers you a quality above standard 4K

Samsung’s QLED TVs used to be top-of-the-line products – and ones you’d have to pay a pretty penny for.

But since Samsung released its newer line of Neo-QLEDs in 2021, I’ve been watching the QLED start to tumble in cost.

Now all of a sudden, they’ve become – whisper it – affordable, especially smaller sets like this one.

Okay, £499 is still a fair bit of cash to stump up – but I’m calling it a wise investment on a TV that will serve you in good stead for many years to come.

You’ve got the pedigree: it comes the largest-selling manufacturer on the UK TV market.

Oh, and remember that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better: if you have a modest-sized viewing space, a 43-inch screen like this will likely do the perfect job.

Don’t get suckered into buying a big 65- 75-inch beast just because they go for as little as £500 in the sales these days – they’ll simply overwhelm smaller space. And they won’t have a higher-spec screen like this one.

Instead, I suggest you buy tactically and with the long game in mind.
