March Madness is just two weeks away. Is your TV ready to handle one of the biggest sporting events of the year?

If your answer isn’t an enthusiastic “yes,” not to worry — we’ve got you covered. We’re seeing serious markdowns on lots of truly awesome TVs, so you don’t have to miss any of the high-flying action or slam dunks.

Even if you’re not into college basketball, now is a great time to buy a new TV. Many Samsung models are seriously marked down— the Samsung Flat 65-inch 4K 8 Series Ultra HD Smart TV is nearly $70 cheaper than it was in January (it’s currently $730, originally $1,400) and the Samsung Curved 55-inch 4K UHD 7 Series Ultra HD Smart TV is priced at an all-time low at $478. Newer models are coming later this spring, so retailers have marked existing options down to make room for new inventory.

Whether you’re on Team Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, Vizio or otherwise, you can get a beautiful brand new TV—with prices starting at just $86. No need to comb through pages of deals; we did all the work for you.
