Samsung 43-inch TU69OT 4K Smart TV — $260, was $280
At a price point that makes it a clear rival to all of the best TVs under $1,000, this Samsung TV offers a premium view and smooth colors. One of the words that you should notice in this TV’s name is “crystal” which denotes a couple of things. First, its crystal processor, which is the TV’s 4K upscaler, a by-now expected quality of a 4K TV. Next is what is referred to as the TV’s “PurColor Crystal Display”. This display technology creates smoothness in the represented colors, reducing artifacts in the upscaling process and other problems associated with sub-4K content. You’ll also appreciate this TV’s recommendations, which give appropriate suggestions to you based on your viewing history from both streaming services and live TV. The Samsung TU69OT works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple AirPlay2.
TCL 55-inch S5 4K Google TV — $280, was $330
Value is front and center with almost all of TCL’s TV models, and with the S5 you’re getting one of its most recent releases. It’s a nice balance of affordability and feature, delivering impressive 4K picture quality with four times the resolution of HD. You’ll also get access to seemingly endless entertainment with your favorite streaming services built right into the TV’s software. Google Chromecast is there as well, along with features such as Apple AirPlay 2, Dolby Atmos Audio, Game Accelerator 120, and HDR Pro+ with Dolby Vision.
Samsung 55-inch CU7000 4K Smart TV — $352, was $370
One of the most affordable large-screen TVs on the market is the Samsung 70-inch CU7000, and it’s made even more affordable with this deal. It delivers amazing 4K picture quality with Crystal UHD technology, and it’s able to upscale older content into 4K resolution as you watch. Its smart capabilities are powered by Tizen, which gives you instant access to many of the most popular streaming platforms. This TV also works with Alexa, making it easy to integrate your Alexa-enabled devices and expand your smart home setup. It also works with Google Assistant, which allows you to change channels, adjust volume, and control playback with just your voice, as well as Apple AirPlay 2, which allows you to share content from Apple devices on the TV.
Insignia 70-inch F30 LED 4K Smart TV — $400, was $500
Insignia makes some great budget TVs and the popular F30 model is even cheaper with this deal. It’s got the standard LED display that you’re probably used to if you last bought a TV some years ago, but also has a 4K resolution and smart capabilities. In other words, this is a fantastic way to upgrade or replace your aging TV for about the same cost (or less) than you paid for it. If you’re wanting a TV, but don’t want to pay too much, this is a no-brainer.
Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K Fire TV — $500, was $650
If you’ve been thinking about getting a Fire device for streaming from your TV but also just want a new, nice TV, you should consider this one. The big things that make this TV stand out from others that are adjacent to it in quality and capabilities are; its large 75-inch screen, Apple Airplay support, its Alexa voice remote, and its affordability.
TCL 85-inch Class S5 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV — $850, was $1,000
A large TV, fantastic real-customer reviews, and a solid discount. Those are the appeals of this TV, which has a 120Hz refresh rate and motion rate 480 with MEMC frame insertion for incredibly low frame tearing and a smooth experience when watching action-packed scenes and sports programming. If you know about HDR, you’ll know that there are many forms of it, and the S5 seems to have access to a ton of them; HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG included alongside Dolby Vision IQ. When combined with deep learning based AI color optimizations, you’re going to love what this TV puts out. And its not just in the visual department that this TV puts out greatness. Modern TVs are known for producing tinny sounds due to their thin structures, but the S5 has a built-in subwoofer, giving it an edge for those of you that don’t want to fool with the wire-laying hassle of setting up surround sound.
Samsung 70-inch Q60C QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,000, was $1,100
The Samsung Q60C is one of the best value QLED TVs on the market, as it has a great balance of affordability and features. As owners of any one of the best QLED TVs can attest, QLED technology produces one of the best 4K images available. It utilizes dual LEDs and Quantum Dot color to create lifelike images, and an overall immersive home theater experience. This Samsung QLED 4K Smart TV is even able to upscale older content into the modern clarity of 4K resolution. Picture quality is heightened with Quantum HDR technology, and smart TV capabilities include compatibility with voice assistants, object tracking for 3D surround sound, and easy access to built-in streaming services.
TCL 65-inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,000, was $1,200
We’ve been enamored with the QM8 ever since we got our hands on it. It’s unique in that it has mini-LED backlighting (think good contrasting), an uncommon feature for TCL TVs. When you combine this with its ability to display in 4K at 144Hz or 1440p at 240Hz, you have an incredibly smooth experience with seductive shadows. One thing nearly every look at the QM8 has praised, though only lightly so in our TCL QM8 review, is the price. Even in normal times, with no discount, the QM8 is highly competitive with much more expensive TVs and the contrast makes it fell more like an OLED than an LED.
Sony 65-inch Bravia XR A80L OLED 4K TV — $1,500, was $2,200
This TV utilizes the Google TV smart platform, which gives you a range of smart features, including hands-free voice controls that allow you to access entertainment, get answers, and control the TV and other smart home devices. Additional smart features include compatibility with Apple AirPlay for streaming pictures, video, or audio directly to the TV from an Apple device. This is also a TV you should consider if you have a PlayStation 5, as it offers extraordinary picture quality and responsive gameplay through features designed exclusively for the Sony PlayStation platforms.
How we chose the best TV deals
TVs are some of the most frequently discounted pieces of tech on the market, and with so many TV deals out there to look at it can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out which among them are the best TV deals. The main thing we look for when selecting the best TV deals is balance. There’s a lot to take into account, such as brand recognition, picture technology, screen size, and even the year the TV was released, and we look at all of these things and make selections that provide a decent balance of them all.
Screen size and picture technology are important, but they can be easily sorted through once you’ve found a brand and price range you like. And while we always include some bargain options among the best TV deals, we try to stay focused on more recognizable brands. Brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony are widely considered to be among the best TV brands, and even they have substantial and frequent discounts going. Brands like TCL, Vizio, and Hisense have become known as great value brands, and their generally low prices are made even better with frequent discounts.
As well, newer TVs tend to get the upper hand when we’re narrowing things down. It’s very easy to find discounts on TV models that are a year or two old, but the discounts they see are often similar to the discounts we see on newer models. It makes little sense to purchase a TV that’s three years old when its newer counterpart is essentially the same price, so we always try to keep more recently released models among our selections for the best TV deals.
