You settle down on the sofa for a night in, flick on the telly, and... it just looks a bit dull. The picture isn't as sharp as you'd like, and the blacks appear a bit grey. You've seen your mate's new one, and it's in a different league.
Then you start browsing, and the sheer number of acronyms (OLED, QLED, 8K, HDR!) is baffling. The only thing that is clear is the price.
But here's the thing, you should almost never have to pay that full, eye-watering price. We're always on the hunt for the latest coupon codes, cashback offers, and deals from all the biggest UK retailers. We'll help you get that cinema-at-home feeling without the blockbuster cost.
Appliances Direct
You might know them for cookers or washing machines, but Appliances Direct is also a powerhouse for TVs. They're a massive online warehouse, which means they stock just about every brand imaginable. Because their overheads are low, their prices are often razor-sharp. This is the place to look for a brilliant deal on last year's (still fantastic) model, or check out their "graded" stock for a real bargain.
Samsung
Samsung is the king of the bright, vibrant living room. Their QLED and Neo QLED TVs are perfect for watching the match on a Saturday afternoon. They're also the creative minds behind "The Frame," the TV that cleverly disguises itself as a piece of art. Samsung loves a promotion, and we're constantly tracking their cashback offers, trade-in deals, and multi-buy promotions.
Currys
Currys is the high-street classic for a reason. You can actually go in and compare the LG side by side with the Samsung. Their "Price Promise" is a huge plus, as they'll match other retailers. We hunt for their discount codes, which can often be for a set amount off larger purchases, making a new TV much more affordable.
LG
If you're a proper film buff or a serious gamer, you're probably dreaming of an LG OLED. They are the masters of "perfect black" and cinematic contrast; the picture quality is just breathtaking. Their newer models are also packed with features such as Dolby Vision for the PS5 and Xbox. A new OLED is a big-ticket item, so we're always on the lookout for discount codes or bundle deals that can save you a few quid.
Marks Electrical
Marks Electrical has become a huge online player, and their secret weapon is fantastic customer service and super-fast delivery. They're competing directly with the big boys, so their prices have to be keen. We often spot deals on their site that aren't available elsewhere, or a specific discount code that makes them the cheapest place to buy the new TV you've been eyeing.
