If you've been craving a TV upgrade, now's a great time to treat yourself — many of the best TVs we've tested are on sale with impressive discounts. For starters, our choice for the the best budget TV has just become even better value for money. You can currently get the TCL 75-inch QM6K 4K Mini-LED TV on sale for $799 at Amazon. This is $200 off and the lowest price I've seen for the TV in this size. Its super-sharp picture, brightness and Google TV OS make it an excellent buy at this price! Or, if you want the best of the best, get the LG 65-inch C5 4K OLED TV on sale for $1,696 at Amazon. This TV makes everything from movies to video games look stunning and it's now on sale for a massive $1,000 off. Check out all my favorite TV deals below. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage and the Crocs deals I'd shop from $5. The TCL QM6K is the perfect deal for a display upgrade. It offers a VRR feature that can push the TV refresh rate to 288Hz and leverages Dolby Vision IQ for sophisticated HDR support. It's a great TV for gamers and comes in a wide range of sizes at incredible prices. We gave it an excellent 4-star rating in our TCL QM6K Mini-LED TV review. The Hisense U8QG Mini-LED TV is one of the brightest TVs we've ever tested, but that's not the only trick up its sleeve. The U8QG is also packed with features for gaming and beyond. And, if you're an A/V enthusiast who values picture accuracy, you're sure to appreciate how well-tuned the U8QG is right out of the box. This is Amazon's first Mini-LED TV. It features a 144Hz refresh rate in tandem with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support to give gamers ample juice for fast-paced games. The TV also has an Ambient Experience feature, so when it's powered off it displays dynamic artwork. This is also the first Amazon Fire TV to support Dolby Atmos audio. Part of LG's 2025 TV lineup, the LG C5 OLED is here as the value pick of the year. Offering a slew of features, like a range of HDR certifications and gaming specs for the PS5 Pro crowd, the C5 proves a major improvement over its predecessor. We called it "nearly flawless" and gave it a 5-star rating in our LG C5 OLED TV review. The Z95 is Panasonic's new premium OLED TV. In our Panasonic Z95 OLED TV review, we called the Editor's Choice TV an utter beast with some of the most advanced features of any TV available right now. It's built on LG Display's second-gen MLA panel, which ensures it vast and vibrant brightness potential. It also comes equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate and a slew of gaming features such as HDMI 2.1, VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. It also supports all HDR formats and comes with hands-free Alexa compatibility.

Going back to school? Here are 5 TVs I wish I had for my dorm room
If you're heading back to school and are looking for a TV for your dorm room or apartment bedroom, I think I've found the best possible sets that meet most needs. Beggars can't be choosers, after all. You don't need the top-of-the-line OLED for back to school, as (honestly) you should be focusing on studying and schoolwork as opposed to getting the best possible picture performance for movies and shows. That's where some of the cheapest TVs come into play. Most of these displays aren't necessarily bottom-of-the-barrel, but they do come cheap and yet still will net you quality performance. I've also listed a few 2024 sets, which will save you some extra dollars while still lasting over four years. Check out the full list below so you can deck out your dorm room and make it the chill spot for every movie night. The Panasonic W95A makes one of the best cases for a budget dorm room TV. It's marked as one of the cheapest Mini-LED TVs on the market right now and though it arrived in 2024, it has some serious picture performance. In my review of the Panasonic W95A Mini-LED TV, I raved about its viewing angles and anti-glare mitigation. These are crucial for back-to-school goers, who often don't have a ton of space in their room and will watch TV from an angle. At just under $500, the W95A is hard to beat. It might not be the most feature-rich set, but it definitely ticks most of the boxes you'd want for general entertainment without diminishing on picture quality. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Released in 2024, the new Panasonic W95A is a real looker. It leverages a 144Hz refresh rate on a design that features two HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync compatibility. It also comes equipped with the range of HDR certifications and it even has an ATSC 3.0 tuner so you're NextGenTV ready. 65" @ $597 I know what you're thinking; "A gaming TV for my dorm room?" You're allowed to have some leisure time, and the TCL QM6K would be my pick to pair up with a PS5 or PC in my dorm. I might have graduated college nearly nine years ago, but I know just how important those late-night gaming sessions are. You're going to want a TV that's a one-two punch in terms of gaming features and price, which the QM6K nails at just under $500. In our review, we raved about just how many features are packed into the TCL QM6K Mini-LED TV. Although it might have a poor speaker and doesn't have the best glare mitigation, its 144Hz refresh rate and picture quality makes up for this. It can also hit 288Hz in 1080p, which no other TVs have on offer, making it perfect for the burgeoning PC gamers still in school right now. The QM6K represents one of the most affordable ways to land a Mini-LED TV at the 65-inch size point. Google TV is available right out of the box, and the TV's relatively modest Mini-LED backlight keeps scenes visually appealing.65" @ $64775" @ $84985" @ $1,297 Although it sits at the bottom of Hisense's 2025 TV lineup, the U6QF is still a remarkable display with tons of value. We don't have a full review of this Mini-LED TV just yet, but it already seems like a tempting budget model built on the back of Hisense's brilliant brightness know-how. Unlike the rest of its lineup, the Hisense U6QF Mini-LED TV is the only set to feature Fire TV over Google TV. That means you'll have access to cloud gaming services, like Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass, which is nice if you're needing a break from the cramming for finals. It is a bit larger in terms of its chassis, which is par for the course when it comes to most Mini-LED TVs. If you have limited space in your dorm room, you might need to find a smaller screen — even in the face of its sub-$600 sticker price. This is the lowest price ever offered for the Hisense 55" Class U6 Series Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV. It's a newer TV (a 2025 model, in fact), which means you'll have all the most current technology and features. Between the Native 144Hz, HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and Amazon's stellar Fire TV OS, you have everything you need for a great entertainment experience.65" @ $64975" @ $900 I couldn't imagine having an OLED TV in my college dorm room, but the best possible way you could get one is with the Sansui OLED TV. I reviewed this budget OLED last year and while it didn't match the same performance against other OLEDs, its appealing price is hard to ignore. The Sansui OLED did stand out with some good color performance, which we measured at 129% of the Rec709 gamut. And it did have some higher brightness metrics for an OLED, measured at 480 nits in standard content and 724 nits in HDR with Brightness Booster enabled. A big letdown for me was its slower interface, but this can be amended with one of the best streaming devices, like the Roku Ultra. Still, if you want those perfect contrasts and wide viewing angles at a perfect price, the Sansui OLED isn't a bad pick at just $800. The Sansui 55-inch OLED TV is your budget ticket to crystalline blacks and gorgeous contrasts. OLED TVs serve as the best ways to game and with the PS5 Pro available (sporting a high premium at that) you can save a bit on an OLED display with this 55-inch beaut that comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports on a 120Hz panel. A 40W speaker system also gives you some serious oomph in entertainment. What more could you ask for? As the top dog among best OLED TVs last year, the LG C4 OLED is a perfect TV for your dorm room. It's got tons of specs and is built on the widest selection of sizes, all of which are set at competitive prices — made all the better now that it's a year old. Don't let its age fool you, though. It's built with some of the best features, like a 144Hz refresh rate and four HDMI 2.1 ports. In our testing, it also had some exceptional color accuracy and coverage. Delta-E measures color accuracy, with lower scores being better, the C4 posted a Delta-E of 1.8. The screen also covers 98.9% of the Rec709 gamut. Movie nights and even all-night gaming sessions will be unbeatable on the LG C4. You could even use it as a PC monitor — last year, in fact, I replaced my PC monitor with the LG C4. While it might be overkill, it's totally worth it. The C4 is LG's flagship OLED TV. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said the content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the new C4 series.48" for $99955" for $1,199 65" for $1,39983" for $3,299

Mini-LED TVs don't have to be expensive — this 55-inch model just went on sale for $379
If you've been keeping your eye out this year for a budget-friendly TV with built-in smart features, you're in luck: One of the best-kept secrets in affordable TVs just got even better. The 55-inch TCL QM5K just crashed to $379 at Best Buy. It's one of the cheapest Mini-LED TVs on shelves this year, and it's a great fit for folks whose number-one priority is saving money, but who'd rather not scrape the bottom of the barrel for a cheap TV. The QM5K arrives with built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting, which is almost unheard of at this price point. If you're going to shop in this price range, I recommend going with the QM5K over a super-cheap TV from a brand like Insignia or Onn. Given its entry-level status, the QM5K sits lower on the performance chart than the step-up TCL QM6K, but it's very handy to have Mini-LED local dimming at this price point — especially if you're trying to avoid buying an edge-lit TV (which I recommend you do). It's very handy to have Mini-LED local dimming at this price point. The QM5K features three HDMI inputs rather than the usual four, but thankfully, its built-in smart platform ought to be robust enough to forgo the use of a dedicated streaming device. It arrives with Google TV baked right into the software, which is one of my preferred smart platforms due to its easy-to-navigate interface and sensational app QM5K isn't a fully-fledged gaming machine, but it'll support 4K gaming up to 60Hz. If you're a casual console gamer, this is pretty much the best you can hope for within the QM5K's price someone who helps people shop for TVs, the QM5K has been a mainstay on my list of ultra-affordable recommendations since its debut last month. It's not a TV whose picture will turn heads, but if you're looking for a reliable 4K TV for everyday use, the QM5K is a better choice than most options in this price range (sorry, Insignia TVs).

The best Amazon Prime Day TV deals from Sony, LG, Samsung and others still available today
Amazon Prime Day is always a great time to consider a TV upgrade (aside from Black Friday, of course). While the prices for big screen TVs have fallen quite a bit over the years, even for coveted tech like OLED, there's always room for additional discounts. July Prime Day may be over now, but we're still seeing prices slashed on Samsung, Sony and LG sets, in addition to several other manufacturers. And as usual, we've also collected a few solid deals on streaming devices and soundbars to upgrade your setup even more. Who needs to shell out for the cinema when you can get an enormous screen and bombastic sound at a huge discount? These are the best Prime Day TV deals you can still get today. Hisense QD6 (55-inch) for $240 (down from $380): Hisense is on a roll delivering tons of TV features at a very low cost, and the QD6 line is a prime example of that. It has Amazon's Fire TV and Alexa support built in, and it also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It can even handle a bit of fast gaming with a 120Hz refresh rate. TCL QM6K (55-inch) for $448 (down from $600): TCL's mid-range sets finally fall below $500 for Prime Day, and that makes the QM6K one of the higher quality options in this price range. It features a bright Mini LED panel, a 144Hz refresh rate for gaming and it even includes an Onkyo speaker setup built-in. While it's technically a budget set at this price, it certainly won't look like a low-grade TV. Roku Smart TV (65-inch) for $348 (down from $450): Roku's basic smart TVs offer most of what you need: A decent 4K screen, a large selection of apps on Roku's platform and a Roku Voice Remote for easy browsing. These sets are ideal as secondary (or tertiary) TVs in rooms where you don't demand the best quality. (There are also some great deals on larger Roku Smart TVs: the 85-inch model is just $800, and the 75-inch version is $700.) LG OLED Evo C5 (65-inch) for $1,797 (down from $2,700): LG has steadily improved its C-series over the years, and the C5 Evo is its best model yet. In addition to the usual benefits of OLED, it also sports a brightness booster that can help it work well in bright rooms, as well as LG's own 'Perfect Color' technology. The C5 Evo also has a fast 144Hz refresh rate for gaming, as well as support for NVIDIA's G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate technology. (If you're looking for something larger, the 77-inch model has also been discounted to $2,800.) Sony Bravia 8 II (65') QD OLED for $2,998 (down from $3,500): Sony's top of the line set has everything you'd want in a high-end TV, like quantum dots for improved color and brightness, as well as the inky dark blacks and infinite contrast of a modern OLED panel. You'll always pay a bit of a premium for Sony TVs, but partially that's due to their world-class image processing – in this case, that's handled by Sony's XR chip. (You can also snag the 55-inch model for $2,500.) TCL QM6K (98-inch) QD Mini LED for $1,800 (down from $3,000 MSRP): The QM6K is one of the best deals we've seen on a 98-inch TV under $2,000, and best of all, it's not just a bargain bin screen. It has a bright Mini LED display with quantum dots for enhanced color, and it sports a fast 144Hz refresh rate for gaming. (If you don't have the wall space for a nearly 100-inch set, the 65-inch model is similarly great and is down to $550, nearly half off its $1,000 MSRP and $100 off its lowest price. The 75-inch model is also a great deal at $800.) TCL QM8K (65-inch) QD Mini LED for $998 (down from $1,800): TCL's QM8 sets feature the company's best and brightest Mini LED screens with Quantum Dots. It has an ultra-thin bezel, 144Hz refresh rate for fast gaming and one of the best contrast ratios you'll see outside of an OLED screen. Basically, it's one of the best screens you'll find that's not an OLED. While we think the 65-inch model is a great deal for most rooms, you can also step up to the 75-inch for $1,500, the 85-inch for $2,199 and the massive 98-inch set for $3,000. Sony Bravia 5 (85-inch) Mini LED for $2,298 (down from $2,800): The Bravia 5 pairs a super bright Mini LED panel with Sony's XR image processing chip. It won't reach the deep dark black levels of OLED, but Mini LED achieves something close, and it can also get much brighter than OLED panels. That makes this model, as well as any Mini LED TV, an excellent option for bright rooms. (You can also scale down to the 65-inch and 75-inch Bravia 5 for $1,300 and $1,800, respectively. And there's also the truly massive 98-inch model, which is now $1,000 off at $5,000.) Samsung The Frame Pro (65-inch) for $1,948 (down from $2,200): New for 2025, Samsung's Frame Pro sets offer brighter and higher-quality Mini LED panels for a superior TV watching experience. The 65-inch Frame Pro is a great option for most living rooms since it's large enough to deliver an immersive viewing experience, and it also comes with Samsung's wireless One Connect box for less cable clutter. Hisense S7N CanvasTV (65-inch) for $898 (down from $1,300): Hisense's spin on Samsung's Frame sets, the CanvasTV, comes in much cheaper and with a boatload of features. The S7N sports an anti-glare display and art mode, as you'd expect, but there's also 144Hz support for a bit of gaming. It also comes with a slim wall mount so you can hang it on your wall like a genuine work of art. (The 55-inch model is also a great deal at $689, and the 77-inch is down to $1,399.) Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 for $998 (down from $1,400): The Bravia Theater Bar 9 is Sony's most capable self-contained soundbar, with 13 speakers and support for virtualized surround sound with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Sony's own 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology. It's the best option if you want to enjoy your favorite movies and music loud, but also don't want to see speakers all over your living room. (The Bravia Theater 8 is also discounted to $698 and very well-equipped, with 11 speakers and the same surround sound support. ) Sony Bravia Theater Quad for $2,000 (down from $2,500): Leave it up to Sony to do something different in the world of home entertainment. The Bravia Theater Quad are a set of four flat modules, containing a total of sixteen speakers, which deliver truly enveloping surround sound. They're the ideal solution for anyone who wants a theatrical experience, but doesn't want to see gigantic tower or bookshelf speakers in their space. They support Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Roku Ultra for $69 (down from $100): Roku's ultimate set-top box is the best streamer for home theater enthusiasts who want to avoid the more expensive Apple TV. It handles every video and audio format you'd want — including Dolby Vision, Atmos and HDR 10+ — and it also comes with Roku's rechargeable Voice Remote Pro. The Roku Ultra is the fastest device from the company, so you can expect to zip around Roku's interface and apps far quicker than the cheaper streaming sticks. Roku Streaming Stick+ for $30 (down from $40): The Roku Streaming Stick+ is the easiest way to bring Roku's robust app selection to any 4K TV. It's a great option for first-generation 4K sets that either had no streaming apps, or are way too slow by now. And it's a great gadgets to bring on trips to maintain access to all of your favorite streaming services. Roku Streaming Stick HD For $20 (down from $30): The basic HD Roku Streaming stick is a solid option for bringing streaming apps to older TVs, which likely don't support 4K or any fancy HDR standards. Sure, it's as no frills as you can get, but for $20 it's worth having a backup streaming device. (or one you won't mind losing during a trip). And if you have an older TV that's still working, it's definitely worth investing a bit to get modern apps.
