Broadly speaking, the two best times to shop for a TV are as follows: Black Friday weekend and right now. Many of the most popular TV brands and the biggest retailers are slashing prices on inventory ahead of the release of new models. This is why I've been recommending folks shop for a TV in early spring for my entire career.

For folks on the hunt for a bright, impressive-looking TV that won't cost an arm and a leg, I've yet to see a better deal this week than this: The 65-inch TCL QM7K is just $777 at Amazon. The limited-time deal brings this bright, vibrant Mini-LED TV down to its all-time lowest price.

Since its debut, I've been recommending the QM7K to friends and family on account of its bright, colorful picture, its built-in Google TV software (which makes streaming a breeze) and its nifty, contrast-enhancing Mini-LED backlighting. This is the one to get if you want to save money on a dependable, impressive-looking TV.

While ultra-affordable TVs typically make use of basic LED backlighting, the QM7K uses Mini-LEDs. These are smaller-sized LEDs that offer better backlight control due to their tiny size. But improved backlight control is only part of the story. Mini-LEDs are also why the QM7K delivers a bright, cinematic picture.

According to the performance tests we conducted for our TCL QM7K review, this set can deliver over 1,700 nits of highlight brightness in HDR. For context, TCL's entry-level model — the TCL QM6K — tops out at around 700 nits.

Its bright, colorful picture is supported by an impressive slate of features. The QM7K comes with Google TV's robust, easy-to-use smart platform pre-installed. Google TV is my second-favorite smart platform (behind Roku), and most people will feel comfortable using it as a daily driver.

Gamers stand to wring even more value out of the QM7K due to its thorough array of gaming features. It comes with a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K gaming up to 144Hz, which means the QM7K can take full advantage of newer titles on the Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro.

When this TV made its debut, you had to shell out a full $1,499 for the 65-inch model. This deal drops that price all the way down to $777. I wouldn't sleep on it, though — Amazon has slapped its limited-time deal label on this listing.
