I'm a tech critic and I'd get these Prime Day TV deals before they're gone
Navigating the sheer volume of offers during the four-day event can feel like a full-time job, but, lucky for the savvy shoppers out there, IndyBest's team of tech experts and I are hard at work sifting through the sales and separating the genuine TV deals from the duds so you don't have to. We track prices year-round, so we know a real discount when we see one.
No matter whether you're finally ready to take a leap and upgrade to the 85in 4K OLED cinema screen of your dreams or you just need a cheap new telly for the bedroom, this guide will be updated throughout the week with the very best Prime Day TV deals as they drop.
One of the highlights I've spotted from the sale event is a deal on Amazon's Fire omni 55in (was £749.99, now £459.99, Amazon.co.uk), which tech critic David Phelan selected as the best budget buy in his review of the best 4K TVs. But keep scrolling for more top picks.
This isn't our first rodeo. Our team of shopping experts have been covering Amazon Prime Day for longer than we'd care to admit. The tech team and I track TV prices year-round and know how to spot a good deal from a bad one, and we only recommend discounts on products we've tested and from brands we trust.
With more than 50 per cent off, Amazon's best-selling streaming stick appears in my review of the best streaming devices and is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to upgrade an older television to a smart TV. The 4K dongle plugs into a spare HDMI port to give you instant access to all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.
The best-in-class LG C4 has dropped to its lowest price ever in the Prime Day sale. Launched earlier this year, the 55in 4K TV uses self-lit OLED pixels to deliver perfectly dark blacks, bright highlights and rich colour reproduction. It's one of the best TVs you can buy, and an absolute steal at this price.
Whether you want to take your gaming sessions to the next level with 4K definition or to watch your favourite TV shows with rich surround sound, this 65 in flat screen Sony 4K TV is packed with features. It has a built-in game mode and speaker, Chromecast and more. Now that Amazon has slashed the price by 30 per cent, you can save a massive £600 on the TV this Prime Day.
LG's 55in OLED 4K smart TV price drop means you can save just shy of £200. Plus, right now you can bag a freebie with TV wall mounting and set up at no extra cost. The TV's AI processor chip is said to make watching the screen a more lifelike experience.
A great-value alternative to Amazon's Fire TV Stick, the Roku Express is a simple dongle that plugs into your TV's HDMI port to give you access to thousands of streaming channels, including all the major players like Netflix, Disney+, and BBC iPlayer. Roku's interface is clean and easy to navigate, making this a fantastic budget-friendly upgrade. The 4K version appeared in my round-up of the best streaming devices.
Here's a fantastic deal on a mid-range, 43in LG television, with more than 50 per cent off the original retail price. The LG Nano uses the brand's NanoCell technology for more accurate and vibrant colours than standard LED TVs and runs on LG's excellent WebOS smart platform. At under £200, it's perfect for a bedroom or smaller living room.
Need a cheap TV for the bedroom? Take a look at the 32in Fire TV from Amazon, which has £80 off in the Prime Day sale. The 720p resolution means that the 2-series doesn't have the same sharpness as more expensive sets, but it's less noticeable on the smaller display. You get built-in access to all the main streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.
This deal from TCL brings you premium QLED panel technology without a premium price tag. For less than £300, you get a 50in 4K smart TV with the rich contrast and vibrant colours usually found on more expensive sets. With this Prime Day discount, it's a huge amount of TV for very little money.
This is our best budget 4K TV, with a 'bright and effective' QLED display and 'great colour range' that impressed our tech critic, David Phelan. Vocal tracks are clear, it has an easy-to-use operating system, and it's competitively priced compared to other 4K models. The price of this Amazon Fire model regularly fluctuates, so it's worth checking back on Prime Day to see if it drops even further.
The Samsung neo QLED TV was named the best QLED 4K TV in David Phelan's round-up, so I'm pleased to see reductions across a similar range from the brand ahead of Prime Day. If you mainly play games on your TV, it comes with a handy gaming hub. This means you don't have to tackle a tangle of wires to connect your Xbox console, with it instead being powered by cloud technology.
Benefitting from TCL's mini-LED technology, this ultra-low reflection screen is ideal if you happen to experience glare or sunlight streaming in through your windows, no matter the time of day or weather. If you happen to be on the lookout for a gaming TV, there's a Game Master mode that could elevate your entire gaming experience.
This humble TV takes up the final spot in our guide to the best 4K TVs. It was already our pick for the best budget small-screen 4K TV, and now it's even cheaper, and much cheaper than you'll find it at any other retailer.
Though I think there are better options for more general streaming, if you're a Prime Video subscriber, this is the best way to watch movies and TV. This cube means Amazon TV shows can be streamed in 4K HDR, making for laughably good video and sound quality.
Sonos TV soundbars are notoriously expensive, but this model, our pick for the best budget soundbar, is a little more reasonable. It has 20 per cent off for Amazon Prime Day, saving you £40 on a soundbar we love. Senior tech critic Alex Lee found that 'The ray boosted the clarity of people's speech in films with poor sound mixing, making it easier to understand conversations. This was far better than the speech clarity on our TV's speakers'.
There's an impressive 55 per cent off the Aurzen boom 3 smart projector, which comes equipped with speakers and DoIby 3D audio, 1080p resolution, 4K decoding and built-in streaming apps, including Netflix and Prime Video. So you'll be able to enjoy cinema-quality movie nights at home. It even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and comes with a one-year replacement, three-year repair service and lifetime tech support.

National Lottery to shut down TONIGHT with just hours left for players to buy tickets or claim prizes
THE NATIONAL lottery is shutting down tonight, for a huge technology update. Players have until just hours left to buy tickets, before the service shuts down for over 24 hours. 1 During the shutdown, which is taking place to facilitate the largest upgrade in the game's 31-year history, players will also not be able to check numbers. All draw game sales and prizes will be paused across the entire country from 11pm tonight to "late on Monday morning". During this period, operator Allwyn will transfer and upgrade the National Lottery's gaming and retail systems to new platforms. The update will take place after Saturday's Lotto and Thunderball draws, meaning that some winners will not be able to claim prizes until Monday. Online accounts, the National Lottery website and app will also be impacted until Monday. The news system is set to be up and running before the Set For Life draw on Monday night. Friday's Euromillions draw, which currently sits at £145 million, will not be impacted. Lotto players, should buy tickets. check their results and claim prizes before 11pm tonight, to avoid missing out. You will still be able to buy scratchcards during this period, and can see the latest draws and view the full results for the Saturday draws on the National Lottery's YouTube channel. However, Allwyn warned that a "small proportion" of in-store terminals could see delays if certain upgrade processes are interrupted. I became a millionaire overnight after winning huge National Lottery prize but I celebrated with modest Scottish treat Allwyn revealed that the technology needs to be updated, as it dates back to 2009, "before iPads, Uber and Instagram". The Czech-based group, who took over the 10-year licence to run the lottery from Camelot in February last year said the systems need to be modernised. to deliver on "ambitious" plans for a National Lottery "fit for the future". Allwyn chief executive Andria Vidler said: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver The National Lottery that the UK deserves. How to increase your chances of winning the lottery The odds of picking a winning lottery ticket are pretty slim but there are some ways to improve your chances . Games with small jackpots tend to have better odds, so it's worth taking notice of the difference. For example, EuroMillions is harder to win than UK Lotto. Some lotteries may have bonus numbers or other features which could improve someone's chance of winning. Looking at these additional elements and understanding them can help someone make a more informed decision when choosing their numbers. Each lottery draw is random and balls have the same chance of being drawn. However, there are some balls that statistically have appeared more often than others which could make them seem a better bet. For example, previous research has showed that number 38 was most common, 23 was second most drawn, followed by 31, 11, 45 and 25. There is another easy way of getting more tickets at the same cost and that is by joining a syndicate. Of course, you share the winnings, but the chances of matching the numbers drawn are vastly improved. "We're making unprecedented and much-needed changes, which will move us closer to achieving our vision for The National Lottery. "These major upgrades will mean short-term disruption for players and our retail partners." "But they will allow us to deliver on our promise to bring new, exciting games, a better player experience and our commitment to double returns to Good Causes from £30 million to £60 million every week by the end of the 10-year licence." The switchover has been hampered by delays after Allwyn took over the licence, which has held back the launch of new draw-based games. It was unable to switch to a new technology provider after agreeing to extend the contract for the existing supplier, International Games Technology (IGT). IGT had challenged the Gambling Commission's decision to award Allwyn the 10-year licence in court, but later dropped the legal action.

British Airways owner's profits soar after strong customer demand
British Airways owner IAG has beaten profit expectations amid persistently strong passenger demand and lower fuel costs, despite taking a big hit from Heathrow's one-day closure in March. The airline group, which also owns Vueling, Iberia and Aer Lingus, reported a more than third increase in second-quarter operating profit to €1.7 billion in the three months ended June 30, well ahead of City forecasts of €1.4 billion. Total revenue increased 6.8 per cent to €8.8 billion, driven by a 4.9 per cent rise in passenger revenue to €7.8 billion year-on-year. A bumper performance came despite the group booking a €50 million hit from the closure of Heathrow after the North Hyde substation fire in March. 'We continue to benefit from the trend of a structural shift in consumer spending towards travel,' Luis Gallego, chief executive, said on Friday. Gallego said the results gave him confidence that the FTSE 100 group would be able to create value for 'shareholders through our sustainable dividend and share buyback'. IAG brought back dividends for the first time since the pandemic last year amid a long-running boom in travel demand. It will provide an update for investors on payouts in November. Shares in the group have risen more than 130 per cent over the past 12 months. Before the results, analysts had been concerned about a number of geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds, including jet fuel prices in the wake of Israel's conflict with Iran and the impact of President Trump's tariffs on consumer spending. IAG said the group's airlines had 'all benefited' from lower fuel prices. Fuel costs this year were down €291 million, or 7.6 per cent year-on-year, driven by lower prices and only partially offset by increased flying volumes. IAG said on Friday it had seen strong demand across its core markets in Europe, Latin America and the North Atlantic. It did, however, note some 'softness' in US economy bookings, a warning that sent shares down by about 1.4 per cent amid investor concern over the impact of Trump's trade policy and a more hostile US border on transatlantic travel. IAG said it had partially mitigated tempered US economy bookings via strength in its premium cabin offering, as capacity across the North Atlantic grew by 1.1 per cent over the half year. In May the European Travel Commission warned of 'heightened uncertainty' in the transatlantic market. Trips between the UK and US have remained broadly level this year at Heathrow, British Airways' primary hub, at 9.7 million, although there was a slight dip before the summer. Globally, half-year passenger numbers declined slightly, by 0.7 per cent to 57.8 million, although this was against a record year of demand in 2024. The company recently announced a multibillion-pound order for 53 intercontinental aircraft from Boeing and Airbus as the post-pandemic travel boom shows little sign of a tail-off. IAG's interim results were published hours after Heathrow submitted its long-awaited plans for a third runway, as part of a £50 billion investment in expanding its infrastructure. The hub's main airlines, which include British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, are generally supportive of growing the UK's biggest airport. However, they have backed alternative proposals from the billionaire property developer Surinder Arora for a shorter, 2,800m third strip. The airport's plan, which is entirely privately funded, includes a contentious proposal to divert a huge section of the M25 through a tunnel under the new runway.
