Samsung 75″ Neo QLED 8K (QN900C) smart TV: $3,999 (save $2,300)
Snag this 2023 version of the 65-inch, 8K resolution TV for $4,000 (reduced from $6,300).
You’re probably thinking, what could you possibly do with an 8K resolution TV when there’s basically zero native 8K programming you can watch on it? Yes, this QLED television from Samsung is somewhat ahead of its time. But, through AI, it will take 4K resolution content and do a really nice job upscaling it to near 8K quality. You’ll see more detail than ever when watching your favorite shows, movies or pro sports.
The QN900C offers decent quality built in speakers and a subwoofer, so even without a soundbar or surround sound system, the audio this TV generates sounds really good.
What sets this 8K resolution TV apart from 4K models is that it offers 7,680 x 4,320 pixel resolution, featuring 100% color volume thanks to Samsung’s Quantum Dot and Neo Quantum HDR 8K+ technology. And no matter where someone is sitting, they’ll see a clear picture, even from an angle. If you consider yourself an early adopter when it comes to the latest technology and you have the budget to invest in an 8K TV, the 2023 version of the Samsung 65 inch Neo 8K QN900C Series 9 offers a viewing experience that very few competitors can rival.
Now’s the best time to upgrade to an 8K resolution TV, since this one is on sale for a whopping $2,300 off.

House Ethics Committee quietly voted to release Matt Gaetz ethics report
Washington — The House Ethics Committee has quietly voted to release its report on the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and obstruction, two sources familiar with the matter said, reversing course after Republicans originally blocked its release.
The report will likely be unveiled in the coming days, after the final votes of the 118th Congress, the sources said. Lawmakers face a Friday deadline to approve new government funding and avoid a shutdown before heading home for the holidays. CNN first reported on Thursday that the committee voted behind closed doors to release the report earlier this month.
House Republicans recently blocked two Democratic resolutions that would have compelled the Ethics Committee to release the potentially damaging report on its investigation into Gaetz, voting to refer the matter back to the committee.
Gaetz resigned from Congress shortly after President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to nominate Gaetz to be attorney general in November. But Gaetz soon withdrew from consideration, facing a likely contentious confirmation process. Gaetz has said he does not intend to take the oath of office for the same seat in the 119th Congress, and is launching a new show on the pro-Trump One America News Network in January.
It’s highly unusual, but not unprecedented, for the House Ethics Committee to release a report on a member who is no longer in office. Congressional leaders, including some Democrats, have expressed concerns about the precedent set by unveiling the Gaetz report.
In June, the committee released a statement saying it was investigating allegations against Gaetz that included sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and bribery.
Multiple sources at the time told CBS News that four women had informed the Ethics Committee that they had been paid to go to parties that included sex and drugs, and that Gaetz had also attended. The committee has Gaetz’s Venmo transactions that allegedly show payments for the women.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and has called the committee’s investigation a “frivolous” smear campaign.
Some of the sexual misconduct allegations under review by the committee were the subject of a previous Department of Justice probe into Gaetz. Federal investigators sought to determine if Gaetz violated sex trafficking and obstruction of justice laws, but no charges were filed.
