Best TV deals: save on LG, Samsung, Sony and Vizio

Jennifer Allen

Getting a new TV can be overwhelming. It’s an expensive purchase that you’ll likely use every single day, and the options seem endless. You might be surprised at how cheap modern 4K TVs are. As new technologies become the norm, the previous premiere models start getting excellent discounts. However, many of these deals come and go quickly as TVs come in and go out of stock. So if you see a deal which catches your eye, snap it up fast to avoid disappointment. Here we’ve rounded up some of the best TV deals from across the internet.

LG TV deals

70-inch LG NanoCell 75-Series 4K TV — $700, was $900

Why Buy:

  • Big, 70-inch screen size at an affordable price
  • Use your voice to control Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant
  • Support for Apple AirPlay 2, HomeKit
  • Great gaming features

LG’s NanoCell TVs represent a great value, with the kind of color and contrast you’d normally find on more expensive models. The built-in WebOS software has been updated for a clean and simple look that makes it easy to access tons of streaming apps from big names like Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Apple TV, Hulu, and more.

If you own Bluetooth speakers, you can connect them to the NanoCell 75-Series for a quick and easy (and wireless) way to do surround sound without an A/V receiver or a dedicated soundbar. Gamers will appreciate features like auto low-latency mode and TruMotion 120, which improves the refresh rate for a much clearer picture while gaming.

Sony TV deals

55-inch Sony A80K OLED 4K TV — $1,500, was $1,600

Why Buy: 

  • The best picture quality in a 4K OLED TV thanks to Sony’s top-flight image processing
  • Google TV for tons of streaming apps and built-in content recommendations
  • Apple AirPlay and Google Assistant built-in
  • Good sound for a TV

This Sony A80K 4K OLED TV offers the best picture quality you can find. But if there’s one thing that will be offputing about this TV it’s the price, though thanks to this discount it’s now a more affordable option.

The A80K is a dream come true for movie and TV show fanatics, with impeccable color accuracy and support for all major flavors of high-dynamic range (HDR), including Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. And, surprisingly for a flat-screen TV, the built-in speakers sound really good all on their own — largely due to Sony’s unique technology that turns the entire TV screen into a speaker.

The only thing to keep in mind is that this model lacks support for the gaming enhancements of HDMI 2.1. You get HDMI ARC and 4K at 120Hz, but the A80K doesn’t offer variable refresh rate (VRR) or auto low-latency mode (ALLM), both of which are pretty important to PC and console gamers with the latest hardware. They may be added with a future firmware update, but if gaming isn’t a top priority, this TV will absolutely blow you away.

Vizio TV deals

65-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV — $450, was $500

People watching sports on the 50-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV.

Why Buy: 

  • SmartCast smart software for streaming service access out of the box
  • Share content from iPad, iPhone, or Mac via Apple AirPlay 2.0
  • Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for enhancing content
  • Low input lag for gaming

For under $500, this 65-inch Vizio TV gives you a lot of screen for a small price. The television runs Vizio’s own SmartCast smart software, which is a bit like having a Google Chromecast baked into the television, offering instant access to streaming services like Netflix.

Like all high-resolution 4K TVs worth buying, the Vizio V-Series has HDR on board (in this case, we’re looking at two standards: Dolby Vision and HDR10+) for making movies, shows, and live events appear more lifelike, and has low input lag plus Freesync support if you want to use it for gaming.

Samsung TV deals

75-inch Samsung Class 7 4K TV — $680, was $800

The Samsung 70-inch Class 7 Series 4K TV in a living room.

Why Buy: 

  • 75-inch TV for a household name synonymous with quality for under $700
  • One-click access to all the leading streaming services including Disney+
  • 4K Upscale Engine for turning Full HD content into 4K Ultra HD
  • HDR for drawing more detail from the scene at hand

Best Buy’s offer on this 75-inch Samsung TV is a 4K TV deal not to be missed. It’s (of course) a Smart TV, so it can access all the leading streaming services out of the box like Disney+ and has Samsung’s 4K Upscale Engine on board for showing HD content in a 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Our one gripe with the Samsung Class 7 is that it only has two HDMI slots on board, so you’ll want to invest in an HDMI splitter if you’re wanting to hook up a set-top box and other accessories, like a PS5. One of these will set you back around $30 — but that’s a small price to take home 65-inch TV for only $500.

How to choose a TV

The most important thing to consider when shopping for a TV is the size of the television, frame included. You need to know your limit (and stick to it). After all, the last thing you want to do is shell out for new TV only to find it won’t fit through the door, let alone on the wall. Having 60 inches to spare doesn’t mean you can steam in with a 60-inch 4K TV. This measurement is just the size of the screen, which is often enclosed in a frame that adds an extra inch or two to each side. So consult the dimensions.

Once you’ve set a realistic limit, it’s time to start considering the features you need. There’s a lot to choose from, ranging from Roku’s beloved Roku OS smart software on TCL’s 4K TVs to Google Assistant on most Sony and Vizio models. We suggest taking a long think about the tools that will make your life easier. If you hate scrolling and would rather have the option to tell your television what to do, opt for a Sony or Vizio. However, if you’re after the largest selection of streaming services in town, it’s best to go with a TCL.

What size TV do I need?

Don’t fall into the trap of rushing into a deal on a television that’s far too large to fit into the space you have available. Instead, take a second before you start your search to measure the height, width, and depth of your desired location. Make a note of everything, too, as you’re going to compare them to the dimensions of the television itself — as well as the width of the stand if you’re planning on placing it on a console table — to make sure it will fit.

Done? Now use a viewing distance calculator to work out the ideal screen size for how far away you’re going to be sitting. As soon as you have this measurement, compare it to the space available, and decide on a suitable size. For instance, if the calculator recommends an 80-inch display and you only have enough space for a 55-inch, stop there. But if you were eyeing a 50-inch and the calculator suggests a 65-inch, it’s probably best to upsize.

While uncommon, some TVs have speakers on either side that take up extra space.

Remember what we said earlier, though — it isn’t all about screen size. You need to consider the entire footprint of the television to determine whether it will fit into the place you have in mind. It’s not uncommon to find a TV that measures in at 65 inches but has a 60-inch screen at the center. It all depends on how wide the bezel surrounding the display is and whether there are any design features that take up additional living room real estate.

Do I need an OLED TV or a QLED TV?

QLED TV and OLED TV are two terms thrown around a lot, but what do they mean? Put simply, they’re the name of two different screen technologies that are a step up from the LED display on your current HDTV or 4K TV. Both deliver superior brightness, more accurate color reproduction, and deeper black levels (thus greater detail), but which do you need if a regular LED 4K TV — which will go down a treat for most of us — just won’t cut it for you?

In a nutshell, QLED is the better all-rounder excelling in natural light — so if you’re looking for something to watch a movie, a show, or even play a game in broad daylight with the drapes open, opt for one of Samsung’s QLEDs. For everyone else, we’d suggest an LG or Sony OLED (although, it’s the latter that delivers the best home viewing experience). They have a better viewing angle, can reach a more obsidian-like black level, and consume less power.

What is HDR, and do I need it?

Short for High-Dynamic Range, HDR delivers a higher level of contrast between light and dark, while utilizing a wider selection of colors, to create a much more realistic image. This may not sound like the be-all and end-all, but it is — representing a significant step up from standard 4K Ultra HD. So if you’re buying a new television in 2020, you’re going to definitely want to make sure it has HDR on board in the form of HLG,  Dolby Vision, or HDR10.

Do I need a 4K TV or an 8K TV?

For those looking to take their home entertainment setup to the next level, Samsung’s 8K TVs are an attractive proposition. Keep in mind, though, that 8K Ultra HD content is few and far between, so you’ll be betting on networks adopting the standard in the future — and with 4K Ultra HD having only just ventured into the mainstream, there is a lot of work to be done before 8K Ultra HD replaces it, so purchasing an 8K TV right now is outright risky.

Instead, we recommend taking your entire budget and pouring it into the best OLED or QLED you can find, depending on your preference. If you’re after the former, the Sony Master Series A9G is our top pick. For the latter, it’s the Samsung Q90R that wins. Opting for an OLED or QLED will serve you better in the long run. You won’t run the risk of owning an 8K TV that may become obsolete sooner rather than later. Or, at least, before 8K Ultra HD becomes the new broadcasting standard, whenever that may be.
