At a price point that makes it a clear rival to all of the best TVs under $1,000, this Samsung TV offers a premium view and smooth colors. One of the words that you should notice in this TV’s name is “crystal” which denotes a couple of things. First, its crystal processor, which is the TV’s 4K upscaler, a by-now expected quality of a 4K TV. Next is what is referred to as the TV’s “PurColor Crystal Display”. This display technology creates smoothness in the represented colors, reducing artifacts in the upscaling process and other problems associated with sub-4K content. You’ll also appreciate this TV’s recommendations, which give appropriate suggestions to you based on your viewing history from both streaming services and live TV. The Samsung TU69OT works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple AirPlay2.

Insignia makes some great budget TVs and the popular F30 model is even cheaper with this deal.

TCL

A large TV, fantastic real-customer reviews, and a solid discount. Those are the appeals of this TV, which has a 120Hz refresh rate and motion rate 480 with MEMC frame insertion for incredibly low frame tearing and a smooth experience when watching action-packed scenes and sports programming. If you know about HDR, you’ll know that there are many forms of it, and the S5 seems to have access to a ton of them; HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG included alongside Dolby Vision IQ. When combined with deep learning based AI color optimizations, you’re going to love what this TV puts out. And its not just in the visual department that this TV puts out greatness. Modern TVs are known for producing tinny sounds due to their thin structures, but the S5 has a built-in subwoofer, giving it an edge for those of you that don’t want to fool with the wire-laying hassle of setting up surround sound.

The Sony X85K 4K Smart TV is a great way to get immersive with your favorite content. It has HDR technology and Dolby Vision, both of which enhance the TV’s already impressive 4K picture. Because it has Google TV built in, it’s able to organize your favorite content all in one place, and it even has access to Google Assistant. It also has built-in access to Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, HBO Max, Peacock, and many other streaming services, which makes it a great TV to break in with the best new movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Vide, Max (HBO), and more.

TCL 65-inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,000, was $1,200

TCL 2024 QM8 4K mini-LED TV.

We’ve been enamored with the QM8 ever since we got our hands on it. It’s unique in that it has mini-LED backlighting (think good contrasting), an uncommon feature for TCL TVs. When you combine this with its ability to display in 4K at 144Hz or 1440p at 240Hz, you have an incredibly smooth experience with seductive shadows. One thing nearly every look at the QM8 has praised, though only lightly so in our TCL QM8 review, is the price. Even in normal times, with no discount, the QM8 is highly competitive with much more expensive TVs and the contrast makes it fell more like an OLED than an LED.

Samsung 75-inch Q60C QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,148, was $1,397

The Samsung Q60C is one of the best value QLED TVs on the market, as it has a great balance of affordability and features. As owners of any one of the best QLED TVs can attest, QLED technology produces one of the best 4K images available. It utilizes dual LEDs and Quantum Dot color to create lifelike images, and an overall immersive home theater experience. This Samsung QLED 4K Smart TV is even able to upscale older content into the modern clarity of 4K resolution. Picture quality is heightened with Quantum HDR technology, and smart TV capabilities include compatibility with voice assistants, object tracking for 3D surround sound, and easy access to built-in streaming services.

How we chose the best TV deals

TVs are some of the most frequently discounted pieces of tech on the market, and with so many TV deals out there to look at it can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out which among them are the best TV deals. The main thing we look for when selecting the best TV deals is balance. There’s a lot to take into account, such as brand recognition, picture technology, screen size, and even the year the TV was released, and we look at all of these things and make selections that provide a decent balance of them all.

Screen size and picture technology are important, but they can be easily sorted through once you’ve found a brand and price range you like. And while we always include some bargain options among the best TV deals, we try to stay focused on more recognizable brands. Brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony are widely considered to be among the best TV brands, and even they have substantial and frequent discounts going. Brands like TCL, Vizio, and Hisense have become known as great value brands, and their generally low prices are made even better with frequent discounts.

As well, newer TVs tend to get the upper hand when we’re narrowing things down. It’s very easy to find discounts on TV models that are a year or two old, but the discounts they see are often similar to the discounts we see on newer models. It makes little sense to purchase a TV that’s three years old when its newer counterpart is essentially the same price, so we always try to keep more recently released models among our selections for the best TV deals.
