Article updated on 20/07 - Only the Samsung Q80A at €774 leaves the selection this week. However, it remains available at €999 via an ODR of €100. Finally, note that we are now entering the last week of the Summer Sales. So you only have a few days left to do your shopping.
Shifted by a week by the government, the 2021 Summer Sales were officially launched on Wednesday June 30. The event will last 4 weeks and will end on July 27th. However, we find this edition a bit disappointing overall and we have detected relatively few interesting offers compared to previous years.
There is still enough to find your happiness if you are looking for a good television at a reduced price. There is OLED, LCD, video projector... Here is our selection of the best promotions from these 2021 Summer Sales.
OLED TV
55" Sony Bravia XR55A80J at €1699 instead of 1999 at Darty
93 stars Read the test
Sony Bravia XR-55A80J
Successor of the excellent KD-55A8, the Sony Bravia XR-55A80J is a small update of the previous model which nevertheless brings a useful and long-awaited function: HDMI 2.1. In addition, Sony's 2021 TVs are the first to swap Android TV for its Google TV replacement. Sony therefore offers us an up-to-date model, which combines a rich and efficient system with a beautiful and well-calibrated image, even if the new "cognitive intelligence" processor did not blow us away either. The audio system remains of very good quality too and the brand offers buyers a one-year subscription to its Bravia Core home streaming service. A significant plus. We just regret an average SDR brightness and a few small gaps such as the absence of backlighting on the remote control, the presence of only 2 HDMI 2.1 sockets, out of 4 in total, the absence of VRR (for the moment) or even lack of cable management. However, the A80J is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best televisions of the moment.
65" Philips 65OLED805 at €1574,10 instead of 1749 at Son Vidéo with the code SLD21X
Philips 65OLED805
The Philips OLED805, one of the manufacturer's least expensive 4K OLED TVs, is the worthy successor to last year's excellent OLED804. The image is once again on top, as is the sound. The processor running Android is a little faster and the change of remote control (with backlighting, finally) is a good point even if we would have liked more comfort of use. With wide HDR compatibility (HDR 10, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision), and a high-end P5 processor, this model will be particularly comfortable with cinema, especially since it still features Ambilight dynamic lighting from Phillips. However, its somewhat high input lag and the absence of an HDMI 2.1 socket make it a TV that is not recommended for gamers (the absence of eARC is also unfortunate for users of Atmos soundbars). But if gaming isn't a priority for you, then go for it because the Philips OLED805 is one of the best models around.
65 "LG OLED65CX at 1690€ instead of 1790 at Son-Vidéo
LG OLED65CX
LG's new 2020 Oled TV offers a superb image and top-notch features, thanks in particular to its modern HDMI 2.1 connection. Like its 55-inch sibling, it also offers extremely low latency which will appeal to gamers. Quite simply one of the best TVs on the market.
77" LG OLED77GX6 at €3499 instead of €4499 at Cobra
LG OLED77GX
With its latest OLED TVs, LG once again shows that it dominates the market with quality products. The GX range, like the CX range, benefits from excellent image quality with vivid and very faithful colours. The TV GX is also capable of displaying 4K at 120 Hz and has low input lag, which could appeal to video game enthusiasts. The 65-inch version, like the other two sizes, benefits from 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs, including one ARD / eARC and three USB (among others). But if it is rather well off, it will be necessary to anticipate the installation of new cables before sticking the device to the wall, because the wall bracket leaves no space. A rather design product, and which makes it pay a lot of money, even if its Art Gallery function did not thrill us.
LCD TV
65" Philips The One 65PUS8545 at €799 instead of €999 at Darty
Philips The One 65" (65PUS8545)
If the Dutch firm gave the nickname "The One" ("the good" or "the unique" in Spanish) to its new 8545 series, it is because the latter embeds the most powerful functions and technologies of the manufacturer. for a contained price. Thus, there is a 4K VA LCD panel with Direct LED coupled with the famous P5 in-house processor, wide HDR compatibility (HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision), Android TV and Ambilight 3-sided dynamic lighting, these lights that follow image and which make Philips TVs special. Overall excellent value for money.
70" Philips The One 70PUS8545 + Philips TAB5305 soundbar at €899 instead of €1099 at Darty
Philips The One 70" (70PUS8545)
If the Dutch firm gave the nickname "The One" ("the good" or "the unique" in Spanish) to its new 8545 series, it is because the latter embeds the most powerful functions and technologies of the manufacturer. for a contained price.

Overall excellent value for money.
55" Sony KE55XH9005 at €899 instead of 1090 at Boulanger
Sony KE55XH90
Powered by Android TV and equipped with a 10-bit 100 Hz Triluminos Full LED panel combined with a powerful image processing processor providing excellent HDR performance, the SONY XH90 represents the Japanese manufacturer's top-of-the-range 4K LCD. With HDMI 2.1 ports, this model is also ready to take advantage of the latest console generations. We can just blame him for his price a little high compared to the competition.
55" Sony KD-55XH95 at 989€ instead of 1199 at Cobra
Sony KD-55XH9505
The XH95 is Sony's most premium 4K LCD TV. 4K 10-bit and 100 Hz Full LED panel, Triluminos technology (Sony equivalent of Samsung's QLED), HDR support (HDR 10, HLG, Dolby Vision), X1 Ultimate processor... to be honest, this is a state-of-the-art data sheet for an LCD. Powered by Android, this model should satisfy the most demanding, we simply regret its price that is too high and which places it in front of certain OLEDs.
50 "Samsung The Frame 2021 at 1099€ instead of 1299 at Fnac after ODR
Samsung The Frame 2021 QE50LS03T
Samsung's The Frame is an original 4K QLED screen halfway between a TV and a digital board. It has an "Art Mode" allowing it to display an artwork (or photos) when not in use and, thanks to its motion detection system, to automatically turn off when we leave the room. Detail which is important: it has the OneConnect remote box, which embeds most of the components, allows easier access to the connectors and greater finesse than many other LCD models. Equipped with an elegant frame that can be personalized according to taste and interior, The Frame is undoubtedly the most stylish TV in its category, but even if its image quality has improved since previous versions, it is not not the best on this point at its price level. However, it remains the reference TV for lovers of art and design.
55" Samsung QE55Q80A 2021 at €774,99 instead of €1099 at Cobra after ODR
Samsung QE55Q80A
The Samsung QE55Q80A QLED television has the characteristics of its little brother the Q65A but gains a more powerful processor, Full LED backlighting, a 100 Hz panel and a 2.2.2 OTS, Adaptive Sound + and Q-Symphony audio system. HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG compatible, it also features HDMI 2.1 connectivity which will prove interesting for gamers and those who use eARC audio systems. Of course, the device is still powered by Samsung's Tizen OS. Packed with advanced functions, it only lacks the OneConnect remote box, accessible only on the manufacturer's most high-end models.
Projectors
Xiaomi MI Smart Compact Projector at €449,90 instead of €599,90 at Darty
Xiaomi Mi Smart Compact Projector
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Compact Projector is an LED pico-projector delivering 500 Lumens and a very sharp Full HD image. Although its brightness is a bit tight to take advantage of HDR, the device is HDR10 compatible. It is powered by Android TV 9 and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatible while the audio part is provided by two 5 W speakers. Finally, it has HDMI and USB connectivity. On the other hand, this compact video projector unfortunately does not have a battery. It is still possible to power it with an external battery.
XGIMI Mogo Pro at €479,99 instead of 599,99 at FNAC
XGIMI MOGO PRO
The XGIMI MOGO Pro is a portable LED DLP pico-projector delivering a Full HD image with a brightness of 300 ANSI Lumens. The device is also powered by Android TV which is rare enough to be highlighted. Equipped with a battery ensuring approximately 2h30 of viewing, the MOGO Pro has HDMI and USB connections and two 3W speakers for the sound part. It will mainly be criticized for its limited contrast and its somewhat fair brightness and lower than living room projectors at the same price. The price of portability. The MOGO Pro remains a very good portable model.
