Now Memorial Day is in full swing, we're here to get you one thing: ludicrous savings on your favorite tech - including quite frankly absurd TV deals on 8K displays.

Case in point, we've found just that in the LG Nanocell 99 - a 65-inch 8K TV that's on sale at Best Buy for just $999. That's literally a third of what you'd usually pay.

At its RRP of $2,999, it bordered on far-too-high territory - you were paying a huge amount for the 8K badge, with inferior tech to OLED thrown in. And then the Memorial Day sales happened.

Thanks to a humungous price cut, the small failings (poorer contrast ratio, a propensity to some light bleed through in the darker scenes) are more than offset by the lower price. You'll get dazzling colors still, as well as a pin-sharp resolution, for far less than a 4K OLED TV.

It's one of a few impressive Memorial Day TV sales this year - check out our full roundup to see if anything else there impresses if you're not sold on the 8K credentials here.

LG 8K Nanocell 99 Series TV: was $2999, now $999 at Best Buy
Save $2,000- The LG Nanocell 99 Series is the best the brand has ever produced. While still technically inferior to its OLED range, the color reproduction and 8K sharpness on offer here will impress (although, remember, it's more about upscaling than playing native 8K footage, as that doesn't readily exist... yet.)

Whether you decide to go for 8K resolution or not is a pretty big one - even at this heavily reduced price point. Even though there's barely any content at this resolution yet, where you really get the benefit with a TV like this is with LG's upscaling providing a picture as slick as possible. In this case, it's handled by the display's a9 Gen 4 AI Processor.

This is a set that you need to know what you watch the most: if you're a cinephile and really care about the performance in the lower-light scenes, then this TV isn't for you.

If it's for more general use, however, then you'll get a lot from this TV - above and beyond the savings.
