Forget the Final Four: The best part of March Madness are these TV deals

The Hisense U75QG is a great option for folks looking to upgrade their living room on a budget. It's a better-performing TV than most entry-level TVs thanks to its Mini-LED backlighting, and it offers many of the same features as higher-end Mini-LED TVs. Gamers are likely to squeeze the most value out of the U75QG, as it's loaded with gaming-related enhancements.

Samsung's most affordable OLED TV of 2025 may not be as much of a showstopper as the brand's flagship-level S95F, but it's priced well for a 65-inch OLED TV. It also comes with a useful array of gaming enhancements and streaming features. It's gone up a bit since Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but is still under $1,000, making it a hard bargain to beat.

The B5 is LG's most affordable OLED of 2025, but don't let that fool you into thinking that it's not a terrific TV for folks looking to save money on an OLED. In addition to supporting 4K gaming at 120Hz, the B5 also supports Dolby Vision HDR and costs significantly less than its higher-end counterparts.

The Panasonic Z85A offers the built-in benefits of OLED display technology in a stylish package. It's packed with features for gaming, streaming, and more. Folks with Alexa-centric smart home devices are set to make the most out of the Z85A's built-in Fire TV features. Despite being two years old now, the Z85A is still a budget OLED powerhouse.

The Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV is a stellar 2024 TV that sits perfectly well between Sony's Bravia 9 and the A95L OLED. It corrals a 120Hz refresh rate on an OLED panel built for entertainment. As for HDR support, it comes equipped with Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10, and a 50W 2.1 speaker is quite the added touch. In our Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV review, we said it offers the perfect blacks OLED is known for, plus the wide off-center viewing angles that customers tend to appreciate about OLED technology.

Part of LG's 2025 TV lineup, the LG C5 OLED is here as the value pick of the year. Offering a slew of features, like a range of HDR certifications and gaming specs for the PS5 Pro crowd, the C5 proves a major improvement over its predecessor. We called it "nearly flawless" and gave it a 5-star rating in our LG C5 OLED TV review.

The Toshiba C350 4K Fire TV packs a lot of features for its price. It supports Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG content and it also houses Amazon's Fire TV OS, so you can browse through dozens of streaming apps and even control your TV via the included voice remote.

This 43-inch Roku TV (2025) is an excellent TV for small spaces. It provides a bright 4K picture, Apple AirPlay support, Apple HomeKit/Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant support, and three HDMI ports. Made by Roku, this TV also features Roku's platform for all your streaming needs.

The QM5K has built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting, which is difficult to find at this price point. If you're going to shop in this price range, I recommend going with the QM5K over a super-cheap TV from a brand like Insignia or Onn.

The TCL T7 is a 4K QLED TV with a 144Hz refresh rate, 288Hz variable gaming refresh rate, bezel-less design, and four HDMI ports. The TV also supports Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG and Dolby Atmos. This is the cheapest price I've seen for this size.

Add to that one serious sound system in its 2.1.2-channel speaker and you've got a powerhouse of a TV with tons of flare.

Full disclosure: we've not yet tested the QN70F, one of Samsung's mid-range TVs for 2025. That said, we've seen it up close and personal, and for this price, it's well worth considering. Like the rest of the brand's Neo QLED lineup, the QN70F blends quantum dots and Mini-LED backlighting for a punchy presentation. The QN70F is also packed with gaming features, like four HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs and support for 4K gaming at 120Hz. That's fantastic for the price point.

It's not everyday you see a 2025 TV getting a major discount, but the U8QG is an icon in this regard (and many more). It's among our favorite gaming TVs thanks to its slew of gaming features built on a 165Hz refresh rate. It's also got the best brightness in the TV game, owing to its Hisense lineage.

If you want a big-screen TV, but don't want to spend too much — this is the TV deal for you. Walmart has its Onn 65-inch 4K Roku TV on sale for $278.

For several months, the TCL QM6K has been one of my go-to recommendations for folks looking for a quality screen on a budget. It's a budget-friendly, 65-inch Mini-LED TV that's perfect for those who want to upgrade to a dependable, good-looking TV without spending too much.

Sony's Bravia 2 II (read as "mark two") launched in 2025, offering budget pricing on an LED screen. While it may not boast sophisticated display technology, it is equipped with special PS5 features that enhance visuals for gamers, and it's kitted with Google TV, so you have access to all your favorite content, plus tons of free channels.

The TCL QM6K has been one of my go-to recommendations during major sales events. The QM6K is a budget-friendly Mini-LED TV that is perfect for folks who want to upgrade to a truly impressive TV without spending too much. It's also a great TV for gamers on a budget, thanks to an above-average set of enhancements, such as a native 144Hz refresh rate, which you can access from the two HDMI 2.1 inputs. In our TCL QM6K Mini-LED TV review, we said it won't replace an OLED TV, but it gives you excellent Mini-LED performance in an affordable package.

The newest version of Amazon's Fire TV Omni series comes with built-in Fire TV streaming capabilities and built-in Alexa functionality. It taps an array of LED backlights with local dimming for improved contrast over TVs with edge-lit displays.

The Bravia 5 is Sony's cheapest Mini-LED TV, offering stellar 120Hz visuals with some incredible motion processing thanks to Sony's XR processor. It's built with AI, so expect some upscaling chops and serious performance in color. As with all Sony TVs, the Bravia 5 also has some exclusive PS5 features that make it a surefire bet if you're a PlayStation gamer.

Samsung's entry-level QLED TV improves upon its predecessors from previous years with a direct-LED display rather than a garden-variety, edge-lit panel. This means it has better overall contrast than previous Samsung QLEDs at this price range. I still recommend one of the Mini-LED TVs on this list over the Q7F, but if the name of the game is "Save Money," this one might be the ticket.

Here's a Mini-LED TV that's good for watching games and playing them. Built on a 165Hz refresh rate with a Game Mode Ultra mode, the Hisense U7QG is ideal for PS5, Xbox Series X, and even PC gamers. Add to that one serious sound system in its 2.1.2-channel speaker and you've got a powerhouse of a TV with tons of flare.

Make your TV the centerpiece of your living room with Samsung's massive 98-inch TV. As part of the company's budget Crystal line, this 98-inch TV is priced aggressively, yet includes plenty of features Samsung is known for. That includes a 120Hz display, HDR10 support, and Samsung's Tizen OS.

This large soundbar is packed with epic features, along with some great bass reproduction for that epic feel. You can expect great spoken word clarity as well, so you'll hear every word of commentary over the sound of screaming crowds. This soundbar has next-day delivery with an Amazon Prime account.

This is my favorite mid-range soundbar. With a fantastic 3.1.2 channel arrangement, the Samsung Q600F has expansive sound both horizontally and vertically, and it offers crystal-clear dialogue. Although it doesn't have any smart home features like AirPlay, if you're after a soundbar and subwoofer that does everything to earn its place on your TV stand, then this is it.

This monster soundbar doesn't just have a standard bar — it's also packing some physical surround speakers for extra soundstage. The subwoofer will bring the bass; you're in for the best game-day sound you've ever heard.
