I don’t know about you, but when I see an 86-inch TV on sale for just over $1,100, I start mentally rearranging my furniture. Amazon has cut $157 off the LG QNED80T Series, making it a solid pickup for anyone looking to go big (literally) without totally breaking the bank.

If you’ve never heard of QNED, think of it as LG’s way of combining Quantum Dots and NanoCell technology to create richer colors and better contrast. Dimming Pro helps keep black levels deep, so you’re not stuck with those weird grayish shadows cheaper LED TVs tend to have. HDR10 Pro kicks things up a notch, making bright scenes brighter and dark scenes actually dark instead of just murky.

This isn’t an OLED, and the 60Hz refresh rate isn’t going to blow hardcore gamers away. But for movies, sports, and casual gaming, it’s still plenty smooth. The a5 AI Processor Gen 7 helps clean up the picture, upscale lower-resolution content, and even tweak sound quality so dialogue doesn’t get drowned out. Filmmaker Mode is also a nice touch if you’re into watching movies the way directors intended.

Here are the stats that matter:
