We’re just days away from Amazon’s second major sales event of the year, Prime Big Day Deals (otherwise known as October Prime Day). But if you know where to look, you can already get yourself a Prime Day-level deal on some excellent TVs — many of which are some of the best TVs of the year.
As senior TV editor here at Tom’s Guide, this is where I step in to help. I spend most of the year testing, reviewing and otherwise tinkering with the most popular TVs from the biggest brands in the game. When a sale like October Prime Day is imminent, I turn my attention to price tags.
To that end, I’ve put together a list of the best mini-LED and OLED TV deals you can get ahead of Prime Day. Everything from ultra-affordable QLEDs to high-performing OLEDs are represented, and all of them are picks that I’d stand by.
Quick List
- TCL 55" Q6 4K QLED TV: was $379 now $278 @ Walmart
- LG 48" B5 4K OLED TV: was $1,299 now $699 @ Best Buy
- TCL 75" QM6K 4K Mini-LED TV: was $1,299 now $749 @ Best Buy
- Hisense 65" U75QG 4K Mini-LED TV: was $1,139 now $879 @ Amazon
- LG 65" C5 4K OLED TV: was $2,696 now $,1696 @ Amazon
- Samsung 65" QN90F Mini-LED TV: was $2,499 now $1,699 @ Best Buy
- Hisense 85" U8QG Mini-LED TV: was $3,498 now $2,297 @ Amazon
TCL Q6
The TCL Q6 is a perfect fit for viewers who are upgrading to 4K for the first time, or for the crowd who doesn't necessarily need bells and whistles on their next TV to walk away happy.
It's one of the better TV deals in the $250 to $300 price range, as it offers an overall better software experience (built around the Google TV platform) along with decent out-of-the-box performance.
If you just need a new TV and don't want to stress about the cost, I recommend taking a closer look at the Q6 before you consider ultra-cheap options from lesser-known brands.
LG B5
If you're in the market for a 42- to 50-inch TV that looks fantastic, the heavily discounted B5 is a great place to start. It's not the cheapest price this TV has ever been, but Best Buy is holding it at $699 ahead of October Prime Day.
As LG's most recent entry-level OLED, the B5 isn't as bright or as colorful as higher-end OLED TVs, but it still comes with all of the built-in benefits of OLED technology, like perfect black levels, super-wide viewing angles and pixel-level dimming.
If you're planning on doing some gaming on your next TV, the B5 has you covered, too, as it offers a full slate of four HDMI 2.1 ports that all support 4K gaming at 120Hz.
Don't expect this TV to go on sale at Amazon once October Prime Day officially starts, as the 48-inch version of the B5 is currently exclusive to Best Buy.
TCL QM6K
If you're looking for a sensibly priced, 75-inch Mini-LED TV during October Prime Day, this one might be for you. The QM6K gets much brighter than entry-level sets limited by standard-sized LEDs, like the aforementioned TCL Q6.
Excellent contrast for the price is just one upside. The QM6K also comes with a decent spread of gaming features compared to most entry-level sets.
Right now, the 75-inch version of the QM6K is just $749 at Best Buy, which is a full $550 off its usual asking price. If you want to learn more about TCL's mid-range Mini-LED TV for 2025, head over to our TCL QM6K review.
Hisense U75QG
Hisense TVs tend to fluctuate in price when sales events roll around, and October Prime Day is shaping up to be no different for the brand's 2025 TV lineup.
Right smack-dab in the middle of this lineup is the impressive U75QG Mini-LED TV, which punches well above its weight thanks to an impressively bright picture and a fantastic spread of features.
Amazon has already knocked about $260 off the 65-inch model, which is the second-lowest price it's ever been, according to my research.
LG C5
The LG C5 is one of the best TVs of the year, and probably one of the best OLED TVs you'll come across this week during October Prime Day. That said, given that it's already a full $1,000 off its original price on Amazon, I'd say it's worth pouncing on this deal today.
The C5 is like the TV equivalent of a Swiss army knife. Everything from games to HDR Blu-rays look phenomenal on this TV, and it's stuffed with just as many features as you'll find on much pricier, flagship models.
Samsung QN90F
Samsung's newest Neo QLED flagship might be the best 4K Mini-LED TV the brand has ever made. Ahead of Amazon's big sale this week, it's on sale at Best Buy for $600 off its original price.
Yes, the QN90F will set you back more than most of the Mini-LED TVs on this list. However, it more than makes up for that with its fantastic backlight control, its searing highlights and its boat load of extra features.
I was lucky enough to spend an entire day evaluating this TV earlier this year, and I can stand behind its excellent performance (particularly at this price).
Hisense U8QG
Looking for something big, bright and loaded with features? The 85-inch Hisense U8QG Mini-LED TV is all of those things, and still cheaper than many 85-inch TVs, too.
You can read all about it in our Hisense U8QG review, but the first thing you ought to know about this set is that it's one of the brightest TVs we've tested all year. That fact alone will make it a reliable option for people with brighter-than-average living spaces.
But my favorite aspect of this TV is its relatively low price compared to other 85-inch models. This pre-Prime Day deal brings the price down even further.
