Best Prime Day TV deals
This affordable 2024 4K TV comes with a feature called PurColor, which Samsung says guarantees the best picture quality. It also has a motion accelerator function designed to reduce lag. Although Amazon’s list price shows a $22 discount, it launched a few months ago at $330.
Toshiba’s C350 series TV is a great budget option that costs even less, currently discounted by 32%. This is a Fire TV, so it’s best for streaming content, whether it’s Prime Video or Netflix. Thanks to the 4K resolution, you also have a sharp image.
The Fire TV Omni models are solid options, especially for watching streaming services at home. They’re built with 4K, HLG, HDR 10 and Dolby Digital Plus, giving you sharp, immersive visuals and sound. They also have built-in microphones for a hands-free experience via Amazon Alexa. Keep in mind that this deal is only available to Amazon Prime members.
This Sony TV is on the pricier side, but worth the cost without a price break, and even more so now that it’s discounted. This TV has full-array backlighting and 4K resolution, giving you the best possible picture. The TV also has HDR and Dolby Vision support, gaming functions and HDMI 2.1. We saw it go down about $100 from last Black Friday, but this is a pretty good price outside of that shopping window.

How we pick the best Prime Day TV deals
Many of us at CNET have spent years covering retail events like Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless others. In that time, we’ve learned how to find the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams. We only offer the best deals from trusted retailers. When choosing TV deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sale time.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products on sale so we know when there is an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
- Quality assessments and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in a bad product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining selling time is also important. Some offers are only valid for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that is the case, we will let you know in advance so that you do not renege on the deal later and be disappointed.
Are there any TV deals worth shopping before Prime Day?
Amazon’s Prime Day in October may be off for a few days, but there are plenty of deals to shop ahead of the mega sale. If you can afford to wait, we expect even more products to be added to the mix once the sale starts on October 8, and it’s likely that most of the above deals will continue then, so you should have even more choice.
How do October Prime Day TV deals compare to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
In recent years, October Prime Day – or Prime Big Deal Days, as it’s officially called – essentially kicks off the fall shopping season that culminates in Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Because of the proximity, many of the best TV sales start during Prime Day and run through the end of November. That said, if you can wait until Black Friday, you’ll probably see it more deals are totally on TVs as retailers make room for new TV sets that usually arrive in January. The gap in discounts isn’t much to write home about, however, and many of Black Friday’s best TV deals tend to be extremely limited in terms of both time and supply. If you’re looking for a new TV and see something you like and that’s within your budget, get it during the Prime Day sale and avoid the November rush.
