Presidents Day sales will be here before you know it. The retail holiday will take place on February 20, 2023. However, the vast majority of Presidents Day sales will start well before that date. In fact, a handful of sales have already started.

As the first major retail holiday of the year, we expect to see extensive deals on 4K TVs, kitchen appliances, laptops, and more.

It offers Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, LG's webOS platform, and built-in Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa.
