I've been tracking TV deals for over a decade and if you're shopping for a new TV, the next few days will be the perfect time to hit that buy button. While it's true that Black Friday has historically been the best time to buy a new TV, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days has pushed the holiday season up by a month, so you no longer have to wait till November.

Currently, there are hundreds of TV deals at Amazon and while there are plenty of great discounts to take advantage of, I want to instead focus on TV deals you won't see at Amazon. For example, my favorite OLED TV deal is the LG 48-inch B6 4K OLED TV for $799 at Best Buy. Although Amazon carries the LG B6, the 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive.

Likewise, right now Best Buy has the Hisense 55-inch UR8 RGB Mini-LED 4K TV on sale for $899. We haven't tested the UR8 yet, but the brand is known for being a disruptor with its competitive prices and reliable performance. It's already the cheapest RGB Mini-LED TV I've seen. RGB Mini-LED TVs — which are currently sold via Best Buy only — use a new LED-based display technology that trades traditional white LEDs for red-, green- and blue-colored LEDs. As a result, you get better color volume from your TV.

Those are just a few of the TV deals exclusive to Best Buy. Below are the five deals you won't find on Amazon now or next week. For more discounts, make sure to checkout my roundup of the best Prime Day TV deals.

The TV also supports Dolby Vision, the most popular enhanced HDR format on the market. In our LG B6 OLED review, we said the Editor's Choice TV is nearly as good as the pricier C6, but for a fraction of the price. This 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive.
