OLED TV Deals
This model stands as a top-tier OLED option this year. While we haven’t tested this exact unit, previous C-series models have consistently offered a perfect balance of brightness and color, making them excellent for gaming and fast-moving sports. The perfect black levels of OLED panels are the real draw here, making cinematic scenes in space or your favorite horror movies more immersive than ever.
The Samsung S95F features a refined matte screen that eliminates glare with minimal sacrifice to image depth. Its QD-OLED panel delivers a dazzling picture with crystal-clear processing, vibrant color, and brightness that rivals the best OLEDs. This highly versatile TV includes four HDMI 2.1 ports for 165-Hz gaming. While the Tizen interface can be sluggish and it lacks Dolby Vision, these are minor quibbles given its knockout performance in any lighting.
As LG’s flagship OLED, the G5 is arguably the most stunning display we’ve encountered. At this sale price, it’s an obvious upgrade for anyone building a serious home theater.
Sony commands a premium price due to its industry-leading image processing, which often results in a perceptibly sharper and more refined picture than competing models.
This is LG’s entry-point into OLED technology, representing a fantastic value for a high-quality TV priced below $1,000.
The Samsung S90D remains a top-tier TV, offering incredible contrast with deep blacks and impressive OLED brightness. Its quantum dot technology delivers intense, natural color. With a 144-Hz refresh rate, VRR, and built-in cloud gaming, it’s our top choice for gamers. While it lacks Dolby Vision, it is a premium screen now priced below many midrange competitors.
LED TV Deals
Topping our best TVs guide, this is an excellent choice for the average viewer. This TV delivers vibrant color accuracy, superior image processing, and access to almost every streaming app. Its Mini LED backlight provides deep contrast and performs well in well-lit spaces, and TCL’s anti-glare coating handles direct sunlight effectively.
The Hisense U7 series is exceptionally bright for its class, offering vibrant quantum dot color and strong contrast with minimal blooming. It supports all major HDR formats and includes premium gaming features like HDMI 2.1 across all four ports—a rare find. While it has some minor drawbacks, its performance and features are unmatched for the price.
This premium TCL model is ideal for brightly lit environments and sports viewing, largely due to its exceptional peak brightness levels.
Cheap TV Deals
The Roku Pro Series is bright and easy to use, performing well for both movies and gaming. Reviewer Adrienne So’s test of the 65-inch model showed no haloing on dark scenes, and its 120-Hz refresh rate ensures smooth gameplay.

This incredibly affordable Vizio TV supports Dolby Vision and has a simple interface for seamless casting from both Android and iOS. A 55-inch model costs around $250, a steal for these features and one of the best budget TVs we’ve tested. Sizes range from 48 inches to a large 85 inches.
