This 49-inch Sony 4K TV is perfect for a dorm and $250 off at Walmart
TL;DR: This 49-inch Sony 4K Bravia TV is the optimal dorm size and is on sale for $499, a savings of $250.
Back-to-school shopping is (somehow) upon us again. Clothes, a laptop, and dorm supplies are obvious musts for adulting, but there’s another item we think every college student should have: a nice TV.
This 49-inch 4K TV from Sony’s highly-rated X800E line is on sale for $499 — a savings of $250 to $399, depending on which original price you see. (Walmart has it at $898 and Sony has it at $749, but you’re saving a ton regardless.)
Hear us out: If it’s not used as a distraction from homework, a TV is that one item that immediately makes a dorm feel homey, and is the perfect way to make friends via movie nights. When you’re living alone or far from home, a TV can have a serious positive impact on loneliness.
The Sony X800E Bravia Series is praised as one of the best models in countless “best 4K TV” lists on Google. Sony’s Triluminos display maps colors from a 50% wider palette than traditional LCD TVs, heightening vibrancy and color saturation without needing a backlight. If you’re really into the science behind it, check out this deep dive article on the Triluminos display.
This TV being an Android TV makes it hella easy to operate, too. Google Assistant is built-in, it’s compatible with Alexa, and your phone can be used as the remote.
Regularly $749 on Sony’s site, you can save $250 and get it for $499 with free two-day delivery.
