Best Buy slashes the price of a TCL 8-Series Roku TV by 50 percent

Best Buy has an exclusive deal on the 65-inch TCL 8-series Roku TV that drops the price to $1,000. That’s 50 percent off its normal price of $2,000. TCL began selling the 8-series last fall, so this is some of the newest TV tech that you can buy.

The 8-series uses quantum-dot LED technology for better color performance, as well as mini LED tech. It has more than 25,000 individual lights for “highly precise local dimming” and “smooth, uniform and bright illumination.” It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and Dolby Atmos, and you can use certified devices, like Pixels and iPhones, to calibrate your TVs colors with a high-level of accuracy.

The 8-series supports Alexa and Google Assistant, as well as Roku’s built-in virtual TV assistant, Roku Voice. It comes with a Roku voice remote, and it includes an Auto Game Mode, which recognizes when you’re playing a PC or console game and optimizes low latency and picture settings.
