Amazon Prime Day brings out the worst in me. Most days, I'm mild-mannered and logical. If I can save $25 at a Costco, I'm happy to make the effort to get over there.

But during Prime Day, I become a cost-saving Terminator, dead-set on finding maximum value. 10% off a new TV? Pass. You'd better throw in a soundbar or take an extra 30% off, otherwise I'm moving on.

Incremental savings are for the rest of the year. Today, I'm all about the best Prime Day TV deals, and I've rounded up the cheapest — and most premium — TVs on sale with discounts up to 50%.

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.
