Walmart knocks $280 off this incredible 55-inch Vizio 4K TV

Walmart has discounted the 55-inch Vizio M-Series by $280, dropping the price of the must-have 4K TV down from $830 to only $550 — a fantastic deal on what’s regarded by many as the next best thing to a Samsung QLED or Sony OLED. Plus, take advantage of the retailer’s 12-month financing plan, and it can be watered down to just $54 per month, including local sales tax.

What’s so fantastic about the Vizio M-Series on offer is that it takes advantage of a little-adopted screen technology called Quantum Dots — similar to that of Samsung’s flagship Q90 QLED 4K TV — to deliver cinema-like visuals. However, in this case, Vizio is using a standard LED screen, rather than a QLED or OLED, to keep the cost down for you.

Working in tandem with the television’s 4K Upscale Engine, which transforms HD and Full HD content into a higher 4K Ultra HD resolution, and multi-format HDR — headlined by both Dolby Vision and HDR10 — for drawing additional detail from supported material, Quantum Dots deliver better contrast (and thus more detail) and more accurate color reproduction.

The result? An incredible 4K TV that’s affordable for most viewers, at least when compared to the $2,000 rival Samsung charges for a comparable QLED model also infused with Quantum Dots. This makes the M-Series perfect for watching the latest must-see Netflix show, tuning into Thursday Night Football, or watching a movie.

You don’t need to hook up a set-top box or streaming stick to immerse yourself in the action, either. The Vizio M-Series is equipped with all the same tools you’d expect to find on a 4K TV worthy of the name, such as smart software. In this case, it’s driven by an integrated Chromecast, which is home to just about every major and minor streaming service out there.

Here’s a quick look at some of the streaming services the M-Series can access right out of the box:

All in all, an awful lot of bang for a 55-inch 4K TV that costs less than $1,000 when it’s not on sale, and a fraction more than half now it is. Seriously — you really can’t go wrong with the oft-raved-about Vizio M-Series. It’s considered second to the likes of ultra-high-end televisions that retail for north of $1,500, with a commendable model sitting on the shelf for around $2,000.

Don’t just take our word for it, though. Here’s what one customer had to say about their M-Series:

We’ve had the TV for about three weeks. The picture is phenomenal! So clear. Take the time to adjust the settings to fine-tune the color. Love that there are buttons for Netflix & Amazon Prime right on the remote control. Great value! Great picture! Can’t go wrong.

If you’re looking to breathe fresh life into your home entertainment setup on a budget, it really doesn’t get better than this. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your credit card, head over to Walmart’s website, and start punching in the long number. And don’t forget: If the reduced $550 is still a little too heavy for your wallet, you always have the option to split the cost over 12 months.

The TCL QM8K is out, so the QM6K is 19% off and the QM7K is 33% off

For those who are on the hunt for TV deals to upgrade their home theater setup, we highly recommend going for TCL. It's made a name as one of the best TV brands with the value that its products provide, and the flagship TCL QM8K, which we gave a score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, is an excellent example of this. However, we'd like to highlight the discounts from Amazon on two other models in the same line: the 65-inch TCL QM6K at 19% off, for a $148 discount that brings it down to $650, and the 65-inch TCL QM7K at 33% off, for a $502 discount that brings it down to $998.

The savings that you can get for the 65-inch TCL QM6K and the 65-inch TCL QM7K aren't going to last forever though. There's no telling how much time is remaining on these savings, or when the stocks that are up for sale will run out. If you're interested in buying either one of these QD-Mini LED TVs, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase as soon as you can.

This premium laptop isn't going to stay on sale for long though, so if you're interested in this bargain, you need to push forward with your purchase as soon as you can to make sure you pocket the savings.

You can save thousands on our favorite 8K TV right now, but there aren’t many left

If you've ever wanted an 8K TV, now is the time. At the very top of our list of the best 8K TVs sits the Samsung QN900D 8K QLED. It's an expensive TV, but right now we're seeing both its 75-inch and 85-inch variations have a huge sale. The 75-inch version is $1,700 off, bringing it to $4,298 from $5,998, and the 85-inch version is $2,200 off, bringing it from $7,498 to $5,298. Unfortunately, the stock is actually dwindling quite quickly, and I'm seeing fewer TVs available now compared to when I first found the deal last night. As I write there are only 7 of the 75-inch and 13 of the 85-inch TVs remaining on sale. So, if you want this TV, you should legitimately hurry up and get it now — this 8K TV deal probably won't last the weekend.
