New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
You never need to pay full retail price for a TV. There are just too many sale events during any given year, and Amazon’s Big Deal Days—the fall version of Prime Day—is one of the biggest. Below, I’ve collected the best deals on TVs from Samsung, LG, TCL, and more that you can still get before the sale ends tonight.
The best Prime Day deals on high-end TVs
-
If you’re looking to get the best picture quality for your money, this 65″ LG OLED C5 model is an excellent choice, and is now down to $1,497. The OLED panel offers top-notch black levels and super sharp contrast. It also supports Dolby Vision HDR, and includes 4K upscaling to reduce some of the choppiness when playing older content.
-
For a little bit less money, you can get a lot more TV. Samsung’s 75″ Neo QLED TV uses quantum dot tech and mini LEDs to get sharp contrast and bright images (though not quite as perfect black levels as OLEDs). At $1,396, it’s a bit cheaper than LG’s C5, but if you want a bigger TV and are willing to sacrifice a tiny bit on picture quality, this is a great pick.
The best Prime Day deals on TVs under $1,000
-
If you’d like to stay out of the four-figures range, the Sony 65″ X90L Bravia TV is a great option. It uses full array LED backlighting to get better contrast and comes with Google TV software built in. It supports Dolby Vision HDR and clocks in at $898, which is a solid price for that list of capabilities.
-
For those who would rather pay rent this month, TCL makes some of the best, budget-friendly TVs, like this TCL 55″ QD-Mini LED TV for $570. It uses mini LEDs for better local dimming and has a 144Hz refresh rate—though gamers can swap to lower resolutions with higher frame rates if they want even smoother gameplay.
-
In the under-$500 category, the Hisense 55″ Cinema Series is down to $260. It uses QLED lighting for better color accuracy, and supports Dolby Vision HDR. It also comes with Amazon’s Fire TV software built in, so you don’t need to pick up a streaming stick (unless you want a different platform).
-
Speaking of other platforms, Roku’s own 50″ 4K TV is down to just $258. The main attractions here are Roku’s stellar smart TV platform, with a robust app library and well-designed voice remote; decent picture quality for the money; and, of course, the price.
The best Prime Day deals on TVs for gaming
-
While many of our top picks will also be solid TVs for gaming, there are a few that stand out as worth a little extra expense. Sony’s Bravia XR A95L ($1,998), for example, supports 4K at up to 120fps, for extra smooth fast-paced gaming. Its QD-OLED panel gets perfect black levels as well, so your games should come out crystal clear.
-
LG’s 65″ OLED G5 is one of the pricier options at $2,477, but it pulls its weight with a beautiful OLED panel, 4K/120fps, and support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for smooth, tear-free gaming.
