However, if you’re on the lookout for even more affordable prices, you can check out the best Black Friday TV deals.

If you’re a fan of streaming and watching web content on your TV, this is the 4K TV for you.

50-inch TCL 4 Series 4K TV— $280, was $350

A browser’s dream. When it comes to affordable 4K TVs, the TCL 4 series has developed a dedicated following, and for two very good reasons. The first is its incredible image quality, with its 4K Ultra HD picture clarity. The other is its built-in Roku TV platform (a serious competitor to Apple TV for managing apps and streaming) that gives you access to streaming channels with over half a million movies and TV shows to view. The 4 Series provides visuals in ultra-high definition: This means that you’ll be able to spot even the tiniest details (the space between hairs, for example) in brilliant uninterrupted images. Also, TCL has pumped up this TV with Dolby Digital Plus speakers. And the built-in the Roku is a navigational dream; no lags and just the right amount of info to browse with. All your favorites are here: HBO Max, Huly, Disney +, Netflix, Amazon; you get the picture. And if your Smart Home is wired to Google Assistant or Alexa, this TV will become a navigational tool for your entire home.

This stunning, folding 4K TV now costs 50% less, but you still can’t afford it
C Seed N1 folding 4K MicroLED TV.

MicroLED technology promises to one day give us absolutely huge TV screens at accessible prices. But that day is not today. Instead, it is being used to create some of the most dazzling -- and exorbitantly expensive -- TVs on the planet, like the stunning, folding 4K M1 TV from Austrian brand, C Seed, which will set you back $400,000. But we've got great news for those who simply refuse to spend more than $200,000 on a folding TV: C Seed has just announced the folding 4K N1 TV, which you can add to your home (or superyacht) for the miserly sum of just $190,000.

But just to keep your expectations in check, $190,000 is the starting price for the N1. For that amount, you're looking at the smallest screen size of just 103-inches. It's available in two larger sizes too (137- and 165-inches), but as they say, if you have to ask how much those sizes cost ...

YouTube TV in 4K: Everything you need to know
YouTube TV 4K streams settings and user options.

When it comes to streaming live TV in the United States (or streaming any kind of video anywhere, for that matter), resolution and bit rate remain as important as ever. And you're now able to enjoy YouTube TV in 4K. Some of it, at least. And if it seems like it's taken forever for that to happen, you're not wrong.

The basic fact is that it takes a lot of bandwidth to stream video — and that's even more difficult when you're talking linear TV, (and more so still if it's a live event like sports). So it's not really that much of a surprise to learn that most live channels stream at 720p resolution — or maybe 1080p if you're lucky. (We'll leave frame rate out of the equation for a minute, but it's a thing, too, especially for sports.)
