LG C4 OLED 4K TV (42-inch): was $1,499 now $1,399.99 at Amazon
A $100 discount may not be the biggest in the world, but this is the first-ever deal we've spotted on the brand-new LG C4 OLED. This OLED TV is so new that we've yet to review it, but it's an easy recommendation from us as we've loved the C-Series OLEDs from LG ever since they were introduced. New upgrades for this iteration include the latest Alpha 9 AI chip, massively boosted brightness, and support for the AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro technologies found on the more premium G4 and M4 models. Overall, the C4 is unlikely to disappoint if you want a premium display capable of a 144hz refresh rate.

Sony X80K 85-inch 4K LED TV: was $1,599.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy
This is a considerably older 4K TV from Sony, but there's no denying that at 85 inches, you get a whole lot of screen real estate for the money. It's an LED display with backlighting, so it won't offer the same level of contrast and brightness as an OLED or QLED TV, but with ultra-HD support, you will still get great picture quality. It's one to buy if you aren't interested in all the fanciest TV tech and want a huge, good-quality display for your everyday viewing that won't break the bank.
Hisense 75-Inch U8 Series mini-LED ULED 4K TV: was $1,599.99 now $1,198 at Walmart

TCL 55-Inch Q7 QLED 4K Smart TV (2023): was $599.99 now $499.99 at Amazon
A QLED display under $500 is unheard of, which is why the TCL QLED 7-Series is a fantastic steal, with the 65-inch model on sale for just $499.99. The QLED TV delivers a cinema-like picture experience thanks to the Quantum Dot technology, plus HDR PRO+ with Dolby Vision, Game Accelerator 240, and smart capabilities with the Google Assistant make this an excellent buy.

How we select the best TV deals
We take our deal selection process very seriously. It's our job to help you find the very best TV offers available online, and to help you navigate the different options to find exactly the set you want, at the lowest price possible.
We scour all the leading retailers for the biggest TV bargains daily, including Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. We thoroughly update our TV deals page once a week, but if we find an incredible bargain before that, we add it straight away, so you'll always see the biggest offers here.
The TechRadar team has been hunting for TV bargains for 15 years, so we know a good (or bad) deal when we see one. Checking the price history of a product is our first step in determining the quality of a discount. In our deal description, we let you know how good the deal is: we tell you if it's the lowest price we've seen, or whether we saw a better discount last month - or if we expect the price to drop further in the near future. And we tell you if we recommend one TV deal over another, too, to help you get the most bang for your buck.
We also leverage our in-house product expertise to help you find the right TV for your needs. Often the sets listed on this page have been reviewed by the TechRadar team and featured in our best TV buying guide - so where we've tested a TV, we'll share our findings. If we haven't been hands-on with a product, we'll give you our expert opinion based on its specs, price and our industry knowledge.
