Verizon is now using Samsung's smart TVs as leverage to enhance its 5G Home Internet offers. Samsung's Crystal UHD TV (U7900F) is now part of a fantastic deal from Verizon in the USA, where new subscribers can get the TV for free. Here's how it works.

New 5G Home Internet customers who sign up for a 5G Home Plus plan from Verizon can claim the 43-inch Crystal UHD TV for free or pay only $100 extra to upgrade the freebie TV to the larger 55-inch Crystal UHD variant.

The offer from Verizon is valid through April 30. For the free Samsung TV to be claimable, new Verizon customers are required to activate and maintain eligible Verizon 5G Home Plus internet services in good standing for 65 days.

Verizon customers also need to redeem the free Samsung TV offer within 60 days of achieving good standing status with Verizon and no later than October 2.

Samsung's 43-inch Crystal UHD TV is valued at $329. The 55-inch model, available through the Verizon Home Plus Internet deal as an upgrade for an extra $100, costs $429.

The Verizon 5G Home Plus plan starts at $55 per month and offers Verizon's fastest speeds and Ultra HD 4K video streaming capabilities. It's a perfect match for the Samsung Crystal UHD TV, particularly for customers who are interested in 4K content or playing video games without spending extra on gaming consoles or PCs.

2022 and later Samsung Crystal UHD TVs support the Gaming Hub platform, which allows users to play video games through cloud streaming via providers such as Xbox Game Pass, Nvidia GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, and others. No other hardware is required.

If you want to play games on your Crystal UHD TV via cloud gaming on Verizon's network, you will need a physical gaming controller for the best experience. Alternatively, you can use your Galaxy smartphone as a touchscreen-based virtual gamepad for Gaming Hub.
