Amazon Prime Day has arrived, and we're seeing excellent discounts on some of our favorite TVs from brands like Samsung, Hisense, and TCL. Below, our tech experts have curated a running list of all the best Prime Day TV deals so far, and we've compiled even more savings across all categories in our full Prime Day deals roundup.
Some of the best Prime Day TV deals available right now include big price drops on several big-screen TVs. TCL's massive 98-inch QM7 QLED TV is a whopping $1,000 off its regular price of $4,000. Meanwhile, one of our picks for the best 4K TV, the 65-inch LG C3 OLED, is down to an all-time low price. And the Hisense U6HF, our pick for the best 50-inch TV on a budget, is on sale for only $280.
The best Prime Day TV deals are expected to remain active through July 17 while supplies last. Our deal hunters are keeping this page updated with all the latest discounts throughout the sale, so be sure to check back for more chances to save.
This Prime Day, we're seeing some nice price drops on several of Amazon's entry-level Fire TVs in smaller screen sizes, with options as low as $100. These sets only offer basic image quality, but they're a good buy for secondary rooms and small spaces where all you need is a cheap, compact smart TV.
Some of our favorite 50-inch TVs are on sale for Prime Day, including low prices on QLED models from Hisense, Vizio, and Samsung. The Hisense U6HF is an especially great value at its limited-time deal price, with picture quality we don't typically see on TVs this affordable.
Several great 55- and 58-inch TVs are on sale for Prime Day, including an excellent deal on LG's C3 OLED, which is our pick for the best 55-inch TV you can buy. TCL's Q7 is also seeing an excellent $100 price drop, which makes it a steal for anyone who wants a midrange gaming QLED on a budget.
We think 65 inches is the sweet spot for buyers who want an immersive display that can still fit into most living rooms, and we're seeing fantastic prices in this class. Deals include the lowest prices we've seen yet on high-end OLEDs like the LG G3 and Samsung S95C.
Shoppers who want an extra-large TV should check out these incredible discounts on 75, 77, 83, and 85-inch TVs. Samsung's Frame QLED is up to $1,900 off with a teak bezel, which matches the lowest price we've seen.
Several gigantic 98-inch TVs are up to $3,000 off their full retail prices for Prime Day. The sale includes the first big deals we've seen on TCL's brand-new QM7 and QM8 models, which deliver nearly unmatched picture quality at this size and price.
Our tech experts have reviewed many TVs across brands to select the top models for different needs and budgets. On the high end, we recommend premium QLED and OLED models from brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. But if you're on a tighter budget, we suggest considering a midrange QLED from TCL, Hisense, Vizio, or Roku to get the best value for your dollar. And if you're just after a cheap smart TV and don't care about advanced image quality, you can't go wrong with basic LED options from TCL, Amazon, Toshiba, and Insignia.
Many of the best Prime Day TV deals we've highlighted above include discounts on display models we've selected as picks in our various buying guides. For more details on our top recommendations, check out our TV guides:
When shopping for a new TV you'll need to decide between three main display types: OLED, QLED, and LED.
LED TVs are the cheapest and use LCD (liquid crystal display) panels with LED (light-emitting diode) backlights. These types of displays are fine for casual viewing, but they can't offer the color, contrast, or brightness performance that you can get on pricier TVs. Most notably, LED TVs typically have poor black levels, which causes dark scenes to look washed out and flat, especially when watching TV with the lights off.
Meanwhile, QLED TVs can be thought of as an upgraded version of an LED TV. These models also use LCD panels with LED backlights, but they add a filter of quantum dots, which is where the "Q" comes from in QLED. Quantum dots enable a wider and brighter range of colors. Some QLED TVs also incorporate a technology called local dimming, which lets the display brighten and darken specific areas of its screen to achieve better contrast control and deeper black levels.
Finally, there are OLED TVs, which use an entirely different kind of panel technology that has some big perks over LCD. OLED, which stands for organic light-emitting diode, is an emissive display type, which means that each pixel creates its own light. As a result, OLED TVs don't use backlights at all. Instead, they deliver an infinite contrast ratio with perfect black levels and wide viewing angles. This gives OLEDs a big advantage in overall image quality, especially if you like to watch movies in a dark home theater setting.
On the downside, even the most advanced OLEDs can't get quite as bright as high-end QLED TVs. They also tend to cost much more than QLEDs, especially if you're shopping for a large screen size. Check out our full QLED vs. OLED comparison for more details.
Yes, the best Prime Day TV deals are well worth considering. Many of our top display recommendations are at all-time low prices. We don't expect to see such a wide range of TV discounts again until the holiday shipping season rolls around later this year.
