We’ve gotten to see Samsung’s Neo QLED QN90F 100-inch TV up close.

Cinema-sized TVs have gained a small but dedicated following since brands like Samsung and Hisense unveiled their super-sized models earlier this year. And if you’ve been on the fence about buying one for your own home theater, Samsung is offering a free 65-inch Crystal UHD U8000F TV when you purchase either a 98-inch QN90F or 100-inch QN80F directly from their website.
The Samsung QN90F is the latest update to the brand’s flagship Neo QLED TV lineup, with an anti-glare display, AI-assisted picture processing, and a dedicated gaming hub with cloud gaming support. If you love live sports or are a console gamer, you’ll appreciate the 144Hz refresh rate and VRR support for smoother motion and to prevent annoying screen tearing and stuttering. The QLED panel is also Pantone Validated for color accuracy, so you’ll get more lifelike images as well as bolder colors and sharp contrast. And with Dolby Atmos support, you’ll get virtual surround sound to support Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound+ technology for audio that follows the on-screen action.

The Samsung QN80F is also part of the flagship Neo QLED lineup, offering many of the same features as its sister, the QN90F, but opting for the brand’s Object Tracking Sound Lite technology to work in tandem with Dolby Atmos. You’ll still get virtual surround sound and 3D audio, but it won’t be as robust as the QN90F. The QN80F also features adaptive audio that works with integrated microphones and the AI-assisted processor to analyze the acoustics of your space and automatically amplify dialogue and optimize audio to your room.

The Samsung Crystal UHD U8000F is a budget-friendly model that provides a host of smart features and decent audio and picture quality that make it perfect for a second screen. It’s built with a Samsung Knox security chip for enhanced data protection and digital privacy, and it also supports the Samsung TV+ app, which provides access to thousands of free, live TV channels so you can keep up with local news and sports, watch movies on demand, or rediscover classic shows.

To take advantage of this deal, you have to add both the Crystal UHD U8000F and QN90F or QN80F to your cart, and the Samsung website will automatically apply the discount. Samsung is offering this BOGO deal through Sept. 7, but you’ll have to hurry because stock may sell out before the official end date.
Of course, this deal won’t appeal to everyone. But if you’ve been in the market for a 98-inch TV, it’s a great option to get one on sale alongside a second free screen.

How I rated this deal
Everyone loves a free TV, and getting a free 65-inch Samsung is a great value for anyone who is looking to upgrade multiple screens at once or add a second screen to their bedroom, den, or kids’ playroom. While the 98- and 100-inch Samsung TVs are quite expensive, there are financing options available as well as a $620 discount on both the QN90F and QN80F to help ease the sting of that high price tag.
Samsung is offering a free 65-inch Crystal UHD U8000F with the purchase of an eligible 98- or 100-inch Neo QLED TV through Sept. 7, 2025. However, Samsung may end the deal early if it sells out of units.
