The holiday season is the best time of year to buy a new TV. I've been tracking TV deals for over a decade and the next few weeks are historically when I see the lowest prices on OLED TVs, Mini-LEDs, and just about any type of 4K TV.

The holiday season typically starts in November, but October Prime Day is now underway and for the past few years it's been the new unofficial start to the holidays. All the big retailers — Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target — are running limited time sales this week and you guessed it — TV deals are front and center.

One of the best TV deals you'll find today is the Hisense 65-inch U6 Pro Mini-LED 4K TV for just $649. The U6 Pro is one of the best budget TVs we tested this year. It has a Mini-LED panel that produces vibrant colors and its 144Hz display is great for watching sports or playing games as it produces little to no motion blur.

Another great Prime Day TV deal is the TCL 65-inch QM7L SQD-Mini LED 4K TV for just $897. This TV won the Tom's Guide Award for Best Mini-LED TV and it's currently at its lowest price ever. It's an amazing Mini-LED TV that punches way higher than its price tag suggests.

There are plenty more TV deals I recommend and I'll be highlighting them all in our live blog. So make sure to check back frequently and also check out our October Prime Day live blog for deals on all other categories.

The best OLED you can buy in 2026 is on sale...

Buying an OLED TV has been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. My OLED TV provides images that are sharp and realistic. This is especially true when watching dark, k-dramas like My Mister and Lost (both of which I recommend 100%).

If you're looking to buy your first OLED, the LG C6 is one of the best OLED TVs of 2026. It offers spectacular OLED performance (including ample brightness) for far less than what you'd have to pay for a flagship-level model. It also comes with a full slate of four HDMI 2.1 inputs, Dolby Vision support, and just about every gaming-related feature a dedicated gamer could ask for. This is the cheapest it's ever been.

This TCL QM7L discount is my top TV deal of the day...

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm Louis, deals editor-in-chief at Tom's Guide. I've been covering deals and retail holidays for over 15 years, so when it comes to saving money — I'm your guy. I used to recommend people wait till Black Friday/Cyber Monday to make their TV purchases, but these days I don't.

October Prime Day has become the unofficial start to the holidays and for the next few days we'll be seeing some amazing TV deals. My top deal right now is this discount on the TCL QM7L. This TV won a Tom's Guide Editor's Choice Award and it also got the coveted Tom's Guide Award for Best Mini-LED TV. It's TCL's first Super Quantum Dot (SQD) TV and it offers better contrast and color than rival Mini-LED TVs. All sizes are selling at an all-time price low right now.
