Amazon’s October Prime Day sale is here, and it includes some great price drops on popular TVs. Not everyone is exclusive to this two-day event, and it’s possible that things will slow down as we get closer to Black Friday. For now, however, we’re seeing low (or at least nearly low) prices on recommended sets from LG, Samsung, Sony, Hisense and more. Below we’ve rounded up the best Prime Day TV deals we can find. We will update this post as we find out more; not only that you need to be a Prime subscriber to access other discounts.
The best Prime Day TV deals
-
LG C4 (55”) OLED TV for $1,297 ($703 off): LG’s midrange OLED isn’t as bright or as rich in color as high-end alternatives, but it still delivers an excellent picture with deep black tones, high contrast, clear motion and wide viewing angles. There is support for Dolby Vision and 4K/144Hz as well. This drop has been around for a few weeks, but it’s the lowest price we’ve found. A 65-inch set is available for $400 more, but that’s not a deal based on recent street prices.
-
LG B4 (55”) OLED TV for $997 ($300 off): The B4 is the entry-level model in LG’s 2024 OLED lineup. It gets many of the same features as the C4, but it’s a little brighter across the board, so it’ll work better away from glare. If you’re just looking to save another $100 or so, this deal is also the best price we’ve seen for the 55-inch model.
-
Samsung The Frame TV (55”) + bezel for $1,198 ($402 off): Samsung’s The Frame series has always been for people who care about their televisions beauty in addition to its photographic quality, as it is designed to resemble a framed piece of wall art. It’s still pretty expensive for a TV without local dimming or Dolby Vision HDR, but this deal nonetheless ties the best price we’ve seen for a bunch that includes colored bezel covers. Other sizes are also on sale.
-
Hisense U7N (65”) QLED TV for $748 ($352 off): The Hisense U7N looks to be one of the better values among this year’s crop of TVs. According to various reviews on the web, it emits amazing brightness and contrast, and can play in 4K with a refresh rate of 144Hz. Its image can be washed out when viewed from the side, however, and for gamers, it’s limited to two HDMI 2.1 ports. We saw this deal a few times over the summer, but it’s still the lowest price so far in the 65-inch variant.
-
Sony Bravia 7 (75”) QLED TV for $1,998 ($501 off): The Bravia 7 is a premium non-OLED TV with a small LED backlight to improve contrast and quantum dots to improve colors. If Sony’s other TVs are any indication, they should deliver solid color accuracy out of the box and good image processing for low-resolution content. It has only two HDMI 2.1 ports, its viewing angles are small, and it cannot provide the deep black tones of a good OLED set, but it is getting brighter. This deal marks a new low for the 75-inch set.
-
TCL QM8 (65”) QLED TV for $998 ($502 off): The latest TCL QM8 seems to be a decent alternative to the Hisense U8N – the step-up model from the U7N available at the same price but not significantly reduced at this writing – if you’re looking for a very bright TV. , although it has the worst disparity in terms of reviews. This is another lowest price binding discount that we have tracked.
-
TCL QM7 (55”) QLED TV for $498 ($301 off): The QM7, on the other hand, is a serious competitor to the Hisense U7N. It’s still worth looking at that first 55-inch set, as it should work better in well-lit rooms. But if the U7N is more expensive, this is like the lowest price we can find for a TCL model.
-
TCL S5 (55”) LED TV for $265 ($65 off): The S5 is an even rarer set with a 60Hz refresh rate, no spatial dimming and no HDMI 2.1 ports, but it should be OK if all you need is a usable second (or third) set for the basement or back room. This deal for the 55-inch version is very low and beats the normal price of the street set by $15 or more. It’s one that ships with the Fire TV interface as usual.
-
Roku Select Series (55”) LED TV for $260 ($70 off): The Roku Select Series has a similar budget-level image as the TCL S5, but may be worth a look if you’d like your cheap TV to run Roku’s OS instead. This one is low, and other sizes are also on sale.
Prime Day streaming device deals are the best
-
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 ($25 off): All Fire TV devices tend to promote Prime Video and other Amazon services above all else, but if you can live with that, 4K Max works fast, works with large HDR formats and supports all the necessary applications. It also works wonderfully as a retro gaming device. This deal is at an all-time low.
-
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for $25 ($25 off): If you really want to save $10, the regular Fire TV Stick 4K offers the same basic experience as the Max, just with a slower processor, half the internal storage (8GB) and Wi-Fi 6 instead of 6E. This is another mix-down.
-
Roku Ultra (2024) for $79 ($20 off): Roku streamers have a more neutral connection than rivals like the Fire TV Stick; the company’s newest set-top box includes a faster processor, a backlit voice remote and Wi-Fi 6 support on top. This discount represents an all-time low.
