This 2023 version of the Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K smart TV offers a bigger-than-big screen size -- a whopping 85 inches. It's also packed with tech that makes Sony a leader in high-end TVs. But just because this TV is big doesn't mean the price needs to be. Walmart has slashed the price of this normally $4,500 TV down to just $3,400.

This TV runs using the GoogleTV OS. The 4K UHD mini-LED display has a 120Hz refresh rate and uses Sony's proprietary Cognitive Processor XR to deliver a picture with wide dynamic contrast, deep blacks, natural colors and high peak brightness. In other words, it nicely replicates how we see the real world. 

If you're looking for a name-brand TV that's big in size and bigger on features and picture quality, we recommend the Sony Bravia XR X93L, especially now that it's on sale.

Beyond the cinematic visuals, Dolby Atmos support provides spatial audio to help you feel like you're actually "there" with whatever you're watching. Gamers will love the game dashboard and game optimizer mode as well, with G-Sync/FreeSync Premium support for smoother gameplay. 

You won't find many better TVs at this price point, and Walmart has maintained this sale for a while, but that doesn't mean it'll last forever.


Samsung 77" S90C OLED: $2,300 ($1,300 off)

This massive 77-inch TV is a sight to behold with its bold, gorgeous OLED display. But it's not unwieldy, if you can believe that. Its LaserSlim profile keeps it skinny and versatile, so you can put it in any room without too much trouble. 

Vibrant, true-to-life colors pop thanks to the deep blacks and bright whites. You'll be wowed by the spectacular contrast and crisp detail on the ultra-bright screen, and that makes it a good choice for your living room.

But one of its most impressive features is the Neural Quantum Processor's 4K upscaling. Using AI, it enhances older content scene-by-scene so you can enjoy modern 4K picture quality on any show or movie. That's good news for anyone who loves retro content. 

With its show-stopping OLED visuals and brilliant 4K upscaling, this TV is guaranteed to wow as the new centerpiece of your living space – especially if you're someone who has folks over to watch big events. 

You can get this TV right now for just $2,300, which is $1,300 down from its usual price of $3,600. That's a great deal for this massive unit with a fantastic picture. 


What size TV should you buy?

Samsung recommends a 5.5 foot viewing distance for 55-inch TVs. Go bigger for further distances: For instance, 65-inch at 6.5 feet, 75-inch at 7.5 feet. Match the size to your room layout for the best experience and you'll be feeling confident in your home setup. 

What's the difference between 4K and 8K TVs?

It all comes down to resolution. Put simply, 4K is 3840x2160 pixels while 8K doubles that to 7680x4320. More pixels equal sharper images, with richer color and serious detail that pops off the screen. And 8K takes it to the next level. But most content isn't available in 8K just yet, but you'll be future-proofing your display for when such shows and movies are more readily available. 

What TVs are the best for sports?

For the ultimate game day, OLED and QLED tech both offer stunning visuals. You could do well with either one, if we're being completely honest. But OLED's individually lit pixels create amazingly vivid, dynamic images perfect for sports. Velvety blacks and precise highlights immerse you in the action – so that's our suggestion if you need a push in one way or the other. 

When you pair OLED with 4K imagery, you can get some of the clearest details, making you feel like you're on the field. When you can't score a front row seat, these TVs can make things a bit easier by giving you a blockbuster experience that makes you feel like you're really there, cheering your favorite team on.
