The best 50- to 59-inch TV deals

55-inch is the new 42-inch, so it's no surprise that the majority of TV deals out there are for larger sets in this size range. Whereas a 55-inch 4K set used to cost over $1,000 a few years ago, these days you can get a solid 55-inch 4K set for around $350.

Samsung 55" QN90B Neo 4K QLED : was $1,599 now $1,299 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The Samsung Neo QLED QN90B offers incredible visuals delivering some of the brightest and most detailed pictures we've seen from a TV that's not an OLED. In our Samsung QN90B QLED TV review, we said it delivers potent picture and gaming capabilities with picture quality that stops short of perfection. It also has support for HDR10/HDR10+/HLG, and voice control support for Bixby, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant. Samsung offers the same price (opens in new tab).

60-85 inch TV deals

The best 60- to 86-inch TV deals

If you have the room (and budget) for a giant TV, there are dozens of options to choose from. Here are our favorite cheap TV deals of the moment.

Amazon 65" Omni 4K QLED TV: was $799 now $599 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Released in October, Amazon's new Omni 4K QLED Fire TV is on sale for just $649. Unlike the 2021 model which used LED-LCD technology, this 2022 revamp sports a QLED display, which gives it a wider color gamut and uptick in brightness/contrast. In our Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review, we said the TV is a solid pick for anyone who wants to stick within Amazon’s ecosystem. It features, HDR10/HLG/HDR10+ Adaptive/Dolby Vision IQ support, full array local dimming, and four HDMI ports (one HDMI 2.1 with eARC). You also get Alexa support baked in.

Hisense 75" U6H 4K ULED: was $799 now $699 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Hisense's U6H is an affordable TV that offers great performance. It uses local dimming on its backlit LCD to boost brightness and quantum dots to kick up the color. You also get support for Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos. Gamers take note: There's a Game Mode that supports a lower-end version of variable refresh rate (VRR), but you're limited to a 60Hz panel. Nevertheless, in our Hisense U6H review we said it delivers good brightness, low input lag for gaming, and the intuitive Google TV interface.

OLED TVs

LG A2 55" 4K OLED TV: was $1,299 now $899 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Back in stock! The 55-inch A2 is on sale at Best Buy. It was $799 over Black Friday, which makes this the second-best price we've ever seen for this 55-inch TV. The A2 is LG's entry-level OLED for 2022. In our LG A2 OLED review, we said it offers a wonderfully colorful picture and fairly strong audio. It offers Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, LG's webOS platform, and built-in Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa. Console gamers take note: It's a budget model, so you only get a 60Hz panel and three HDMI ports, with no HDMI 2.1 support. Otherwise, it's great for casual gaming and streaming.

Vizio 65" OLED 4K TV: was $1,499 now $998 @ Walmart (opens in new tab)
Vizio's OLED TV is in stock and on sale. The 65-inch 4K OLED TV packs Vizio's IQ Ultra CPU and the company's ProGaming Engine, which is designed for Xbox and PS5 gameplay. It supports Dolby Vision HDR, DTS Virtual X, Vizio SmartCast, and a host of digital assistants for hands-free control of your TV. In our Vizio OLED TV review, we said it offers more for your money than most competing OLED TVs. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for any 65-inch OLED.

LG 65" B2 4K OLED TV: was $1,499 now $1,296 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
The LG B2 is a more affordable version of LG's award-winning LG C2 OLED. It uses LG's a7 Gen5 AI processor and supports Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG formats. Gamers will appreciate its 120Hz panel as well as LG's Game Optimizer and the inclusion of two HDMI 2.1 ports. It also has built-in Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa with support for Apple HomeKit. In our LG B2 OLED review we said it's a strong mid-range OLED that does a great job balancing price and performance needs. Walmart offers the same price (opens in new tab).

Sony 55" A90J 4K OLED TV: was $1,999 now $1,399 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The A90J is Sony's best OLED TV. It features Sony's powerful Cognitive XR processor, which adjusts brightness on the fly to boost lights and deepen blacks without losing detail. You also get Google TV, HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision support, built-in Alexa/Google Assistant, four HDMI ports, and more. The difference between the A80J and A90J is that the latter comes in a bigger 83-inch size, features a backlit remote, and packs Sony's heatsink tech, which results in brighter HDR pictures.

Samsung 55" 4K OLED TV: was $1,599 now $1,449 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, the Samsung S95B is Samsung's first OLED and the first to combine OLED with quantum dots, resulting in a QD-OLED TV that promises the best of both technologies: superior color, brightness, and contrast in a single package. In our Samsung S95B OLED 4K Smart TV review, we said it largely delivers on its promise though it doesn't provide those perfect black levels of a pure OLED TV (especially if you're in a room with minor ambient light). Nevertheless, it's an amazing TV for movies, gaming, and everything in between. By comparison, Samsung has it on sale for $1,599 (opens in new tab).

LG G2 55" 4K OLED TV: was $1,699 now $1,599 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The new LG G2 is the brightest OLED TV we've tested. In our LG G2 OLED TV review, we called it the ultimate QD-OLED TV rival. It offers about 30% higher brightness than its predecessor and boasts new gaming features, AI-boosted sound quality, and support for just about every HDR format you can think of. LG also claims this panel prevents burn-in, though we haven't put that to the test just yet. When it comes to performance, this TV is currently the king of OLED TVs.

Sony 55" Bravia XR A95K 4K OLED: was $2,999 now $2,298 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Providing incredible visuals, sound, and 4K upscaling, the Sony Bravia XR A95K OLED is a truly impressive TV. There's support for HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision, a 120Hz refresh rate and two HDMI 2.1 ports. In our Sony Bravia XR A95K OLED review, we said the Editor's Choice TV is amazing in every way possible with intuitive and forward-thinking capabilities. We especially like the included Bravia Cam, which can be used to adjust color on the fly or for controlling the TV with gestures.

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

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

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 — Toshiba 55-Inch 4K Fire TV Edition (Image credit: Toshiba)

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.
