TV buying tips and how to find the best TV deals

  • Don't buy a TV with less than 4K resolution. 4K is the standard these days, so unless you see a very cheap 720p or 1080p set, try to stick with 4K.
  • Likewise, don't buy a TV without "smart" capabilities. This makes it easy to stream content from apps like Roku, Hulu, and Prime Video. If you don't like the idea of owning a smart TV, you can always leave it disconnected from your network (which essentially strips all of its smart features). 
  • Look for HDR compatible sets. They offer more realistic colors and better contrast. There are 5 HDR formats, but the main ones you want are HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision. 
  • Avoid paying for extended warranties. New TVs include a 1-year warranty and your credit card company usually provides additional protection. 
  • Stay away from refurbished TVs (unless the savings are massive). The problem with refurbished TVs is that if your TV has more dents and scratches than you anticipated, return shipping is usually on you, and shipping a large TV can get expensive very quickly. 
  • Look for bargains on older sets: Many 2022 TVs are still on the market. Usually the differences aren't that noticeable to the average buyer, so when possible stick to the previous year's model. You'll find cheaper TV deals that way.

1. TCL 6-Series Roku TV (R655)

Best budget TV of 2023

Available Screen Sizes: 55, 65, 75, 85 inches | Screen Type: QLED | Refresh Rate: 120 Hz | HDMI ports: 4 HDMI, 1 USB | Size: 32.8 x 56.9 x 2.7 inches | Weight: 50.7 pounds

Terrific brightness levels
Strong gaming performance, features
Roku TV offers a huge app selection and easy interface
Improved Roku remote
Mediocre sound
Limited HDMI 2.1 ports

The TCL 6 Series Roku TV sits at the top of our list of the best budget TVs of 2023. In our testing, we found it offers superior brightness and gaming capabilities for less than the cost of competing premium TVs. We also like that it has the super-easy-to-use Roku TV interface.  

The TV's outstanding color and brightness come from its use of both mini LED and QLED technologies combined with so-called "Contrast Control Zones" (aka dimming zones). That makes colors pop attractively and balance well with blacks in nearly all situations. For example, the crisp contrast between the azure skies and the parched landscapes that constitute so many of Top Gun: Maverick’s aerial chase and fight scenes came through beautifully.

In The Batman, where dark is more prominent still, the inky shades of the Caped Crusader's costume were pointedly visible even against the disintegrating backdrop of Gotham City, while the rainy-fiery Penguin car chase maintained the maximum amount of what suffocating tension it has. 

Gamers will also be happy to know that the TV has an Auto Game Mode, which activates as soon as you fire up a game. We also measured the set’s input lag using a Leo Bodnar 4K Video Signal Lag Tester connected to one of the 4K144Hz HDMI ports. It measured lag at 10.1ms; we consider anything below 20ms good for gaming and anything at or below 10ms to be exceptional, so this marks the 65R655 as one of the best gaming TVs out there as well.

2. TCL 6-Series Roku TV (R635)

The 6-Series R635 is a top budget TV contender

Available Screen Sizes: 55, 65, 75 inches | Screen Type: QLED | Refresh Rate: 120 Hz | HDMI ports: 4 HDMI, 1 USB | Size: 48.3 x 28.1 x 2.8 inches | Weight: 41.9 pounds

Excellent QLED and mini-LED display
Great gaming performance
Roku TV offers a huge app selection and easy interface
Improved Roku remote
Sound is a little weak
Roku is missing some of the latest apps

When it comes to value, the TCL 6-Series Roku TV (R635) is our top pick. The Editor's Choice TV offers premium picture quality and a great smart TV experience for less than its competition. The R635 also ups the ante with mini-LED backlighting in addition to QLED. The result is impressive color and brightness, with some of the best HDR performance we've seen on anything this side of an OLED display.

Features like THX Certified Game Mode also help make the 6-Series one of the best gaming TVs available. From the design's smart touches, like cable management in the stand, to the always-solid Roku TV platform, the TCL R635 is one of the best TV deals you'll find right now.

Toshiba C350 Fire TV review

3. Toshiba 55-Inch 4K Fire TV Edition

The most affordable TV with Amazon Alexa inside

Screen size: 55 inches | HDMI ports: 3 | Refresh rate: 60 Hz | HDR Support: HDR10 | Dimensions (without stand): 28.7 x 49.1 x 3.7 inches

Amazon's Fire TV OS is easy to navigate
Built-in Alexa
HDR support
Aggressive advertising
Confusing app store
Mediocre picture and sound

The Toshiba C350 4K Fire TV Edition is one of Amazon's budget smart TVs, which have one big selling point: Amazon’s Prime Video and Alexa voice controls are baked right in. In addition to Prime Video’s extensive catalogue of movies and shows, you’ve got one of the best voice assistants on the market as close as your remote. And it’s not some half-measure – the Alexa on your TV can do everything Alexa can do on the Amazon Echo, with skills for smart home control, looking up weather and restaurants and much more. All of this is built into the 55-inch Toshiba 4K TV, which sells for an affordable sub-$500 price.

The switch from last year’s Westinghouse models to Toshiba bring all sorts of improvements, like improved display quality, HDR support and a more refined user experience, but it’s held back by mediocre picture quality and middling audio. Edge-lit backlighting and limited HDR support just drive home the most frustrating thing about most of Amazon’s TV’s — no matter how good Amazon’s Fire TV is as a smart TV platform, the TV also has to stand  on its own merits.

In our tests, the C350 produces a good enough picture that you can enjoy what’s on screen without getting annoyed by quality issues. It’s bright enough to watch during the day and the set produces good color.
