It’s the second and final day of Amazon’s last Prime Day sale, and we’re still keeping an eye out for the best TV deals the event has to offer. As expected, there’s plenty of junk to sift through, but highlights include a nearly $250 discount. LG’s C3 OLED TV$400 off fashionistas Samsung Frame TV and a few all-time lows on well-reviewed budget sets TCL and Hisense. If you need a new media stream, too Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also discounted.
You can find a full roundup of Prime Day TV deals, which are actually deals, updated for the second day of the sale. It’s important to remember that this isn’t the best time to buy a new TV: Most manufacturers have recently released their newest models, and almost all of them will be cheaper around Black Friday. But if you need to upgrade today, you’ll still find some value. If we find better deals before Prime Day ends tonight, we’ll update this guide again; just remember that you must be a Prime member to access most of the discounts.
55 inch version LG’s C3 OLED TV It sells for $1,097. While that’s not necessarily the best price we’ve seen so far, it’s $200-$300 below what the kit typically goes for. It’s a 2023 model, but if you want the deep contrast, wide viewing angles and fast motion response of a quality OLED panel, it’s a nice value for the price. There are four HDMI 2.1 ports capable of playing up to 4K/120Hz with a PlayStation 5 or Xbox, plus it supports Dolby Vision HDR, unlike Samsung’s rival models. Its picture quality isn’t exactly top-notch these days, but if you’re new to OLED, it’ll still feel like a big upgrade.
This is version 2024 of the set LG C4, is now available and offers slightly improved HDR brightness and color volume. It can also play in 4K at up to 144Hz, though that’s only really useful if you’re planning to connect your gaming PC to your TV. Since the 55-inch C4 currently costs several hundred dollars, the C3 is a better value while it’s still on sale.
55 inch version Samsung’s The Frame TV It’s down to $998 for Prime Day. The set has been slightly discounted a few times in the past, but that’s still about $400 below the average street price of recent months, plus it comes with a bonus cover for the TV’s bezels. Other size options were also discounted on Tuesday, but now appear to be out of stock.
You will basically get a Frame TV the aestheticbecause everything is designed to lean and hang on a wall as a work of art. You can even use it to display actual artwork and photos when you’re not looking at something. Its picture quality is still decent, though not at the level of the best LED TVs in this price range, as it lacks a mini-LED backlight or local dimming to improve contrast. This 55-inch model supports a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz.
This deal is for the latest generation Frame TV with model code LS03B. Samsung released revised model (LS03D) is slightly brighter in HDR than earlier this year some of them reviews and can save a little more energy when displaying artwork. Although the older version is cheaper, it’s a better value, but if you must have the latest version, bundles are also available that combine the new kit with the bezel cover. The 50-, 55- and 65 inches the versions there drop to $1,098, $1,198, and $1,698, respectively. These are all new lows, but we will inevitably see them drop further as the year progresses.
Moving on to newer TVs, it was recently released Hisense U7N It’s down again to $748 for the 65-inch model. That’s $52 off the street price we’ve seen over the past few months, technically matching the low end of the set, but it’s almost certain to drop further in the future.
Still, if you want a new TV under $1,000 today, early reviews around internet They called the U7N a strong value. It has a mini-LED backlight with local dimming to help contrast, supports Dolby Vision HDR, and can play in 4K at up to 144Hz. It still won’t match the colors, contrast or brightness control of a good OLED TV, and its image will be more severely washed out when viewed from an angle. It’s also limited to two HDMI 2.1 ports. But it should be brighter than something like the LG C3.
Reviews suggest that the U7N isn’t a huge leap over last year’s Hisense U7K, so if you can get an older model for less, it’s worth picking up if you can find it for a significantly lower price. As of this writing, it does not appear so.
There is also one Hisense U6N, a low-cost model with mini-LEDs and another successor to the well-reviewed TV from last year. It’s also available, but there aren’t many reviews for it yet, so we’re reluctant to highlight it here.
The Hisense U8Nmeanwhile, it’s a step up from the U7N above. Reviews offer that shares many same general strengths and weaknesses, but slightly better with brighter highlights, richer colors and deeper blacks.
Of course, it’s also more expensive, but it’s now down to $950 for the 65-inch model and $1,350 for the single model. 75-inch set and for $1,798 85 inch version. These all represent all-time lows, though Amazon is showing shipping delays at this writing. Regardless, the 85-inch set is $200 off last month’s sale price, while the others are $150 off. Also note that the 75-inch model uses a different panel type (ADS instead of VA), so it should have better viewing angles, but worse contrast than the other size options. Some reviews have noted quirks with the TV being too bright in HDR.
Last year Hisense U8K It would still be a better value if you could find it at a reputable retailer, but it appears to be out of stock as we write this. If you’re in need of a new TV right now, this deal makes the latest model a little cheaper than the day it was released.
For those on a tighter budget 55-inch TCL Q6 It’s down to $300 for Prime Day, which is about $70 below the average street price in recent months. Apart from a very brief drop to $280 in March, this is the lowest price to date. The 65 inch option also marked down to $400, an all-time low.
The Q6 is a low-end LED TV from last year. Most reviews we trust say it’s not the best choice in this price range in terms of contrast, color or brightness. Don’t expect local dimming or any HDMI 2.1 features. Instead, it’s worth highlighting because it supports a 120Hz refresh rate, albeit at 1080p or 1440p instead of 4K. If you just want a cheap TV for gaming in the upstairs bedroom or office, this extra fluidity could make the Q6 a worthy buy. Just keep in mind that this model ships with Amazon’s Fire OS, so if you frequently use Amazon services like Prime Video, it’ll work better.
TCL has already been released new Q6 TVs For 2024, some are currently available for the same price as their predecessors. We haven’t seen any official reviews for them yet, so we’re reluctant to recommend them here, but we’d be surprised if they did any worse.
As the name suggests TCL Q7 It sits just above the Q6 in the company’s lineup, offering up to 4K/144Hz support (on one port), noticeably better contrast, and higher brightness. according to to reviews around the web. It’s still not a premium TV: its viewing angles are narrow, and you’ll likely have to spend time calibrating it to get a decent picture. Hisense U7N should be a better mid-range buy for those who can afford it. But the Q7 is cheaper for Prime Day, with the 65-inch set for $600 and a 75-inch set It sells for $798. These are both all-time lows and about $100 cheaper than usual. Note that these models run Google TV instead of Amazon’s Fire OS, plus they support Apple AirPlay, so you can stream videos directly from your iPhone to them.
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K It’s available for $29, which is $5 more than the lowest price we’ve tracked, but still $10 below the device’s recent average street price. It’s also the best price we’ve seen in 2024.
This is the second of our guide best streaming devices. It supports most major streaming services (except Twitch) and HDR formats, works with Apple AirPlay, and the Roku OS, while aesthetically dull, remains easy to navigate. As with all cheap streaming devices, you’ll have to deal with ads in the UI. If you’re unhappy with your TV’s built-in platform and want to watch shows in 4K HDR, you could do a lot worse.
Roku’s Express 4K+ the dongle also sells for $27, but this device doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR, so most people will have to shell out an extra $2.
The latest Fire TV Stick 4K Max It’s down to a new low of $35 for Prime Day. That’s $5 below the selling price we’ve seen for most of 2024.
As always, you really should included Amazon to really enjoy the Fire TV Stick: Each model is particularly full of ads, and none of them are shy about redirecting you to Amazon-owned services. There is no (native) AirPlay or Google Cast support. But if you have a network of Alexa devices and the 4K Max is still a fast performer that supports all major apps, the Amazon focus might not be the worst thing. I found a nifty little device for that retro game emulationvery recently acquired the ability Stream Xbox games on the cloud.
If you want something cheaper, base Fire TV Stick 4K It’s available for $25, matching the low price we saw during Black Friday. It has a slightly slower processor and half the internal memory (8GB) and supports Wi-Fi 6E (Wi-Fi 6 only) or Amazon’s “Environmental Experience” idle mode. But if you want to save some cash and don’t mind getting something a little less impressive in the future, the broad strokes are the same.
