With CES 2022 having just wrapped, the future looks bright if you’re looking to nab a great TV deal. At CES, many manufacturers — including LG and Samsung — announced new versions of some of their most popular models, ranging from The Frame to LG’s new C2 lineup. That means we’re probably going to start seeing prices fall on last-gen models as newer models become available throughout the rest of the year.
For those looking to pick up a solid deal before the new models arrive, however, fret not, as retailers will also likely be discounting TVs in the run up to the Super Bowl next month. And if you need one now, there are currently a lot of discounted 4K TVs available to choose from, complete with a wide variety of prices and performance for those who can’t wait. Whether you want a secondary TV for the bedroom or a high-end OLED that’s built for a cinema-like experience, we’ve picked out the best TV deals across four common categories.

The best 4K TV deals for most people
A 55-inch TV is a popular size for good reason. It’s not too big, nor is it too small, making it a safe size if you’re looking to upgrade the TV in a living room or bedroom.
Sony X80J
Sony’s 55-inch X80J TV has Google TV software built-in, so you won’t need to purchase any additional streaming boxes, like an Apple TV or Chromecast. The LED panel also supports HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision HDR, and has four HDMI ports (one of which is HDMI ARC). It’s a relatively low-frills affair, but it seems like a good deal that’s currently available at Best Buy for $649.99. In addition to free delivery, the retailer is also offering six months of Peacock Premium, $50 off a Google Nest Hub smart display with each purchase, and up to $200 off select soundbars. Amazon and B&H Photo are also selling the same TV for roughly the same price but without the added incentives.
TCL 6-Series
The TCL 6-Series R635 model is a good option if you are looking to balance price and performance. The R635 model sports a QLED panel, but it goes a step above with Mini LED backlighting, which brings better brightness and contrast. The 55-inch model is currently on sale at Amazon for $699.50 and Best Buy for $699.99 ($250 off), though, we’ve seen the R635 drop to as low as $650 in the past.
If you prefer a larger model, Best Buy is also offering the 65-inch for $999.99 ($300 off), while selling the 75-inch for $1,299.99 ($500 off). Regardless of which configuration you choose, however, Best Buy will also take $90 off Facebook Portal TV, if you purchase the two together.
Samsung The Frame TV
Samsung’s The Frame blends into your home decor, displaying customizable images that look like a piece of decorative art if its motion sensor detects someone in the room. When turned on, however, it transforms into an HDR-compatible QLED TV with Amazon’s Alexa built-in and support for AirPlay 2. The stylish, 4K TV also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, access to all the popular streaming services, and four HDMI ports.
We saw the 55-inch drop from $1,499.99 to $998, its best price ever, during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Sadly, it’s now only about $100 off, with the 55-inch model going for $1,399.99 at Best Buy and $1,397.99 at B&H Photo. Best Buy is also taking $90 off of Facebook Portal TV with your purchase, as well as up to $300 off on select soundbars.
The best TV deals on a budget
Insignia’s 4K HDR Fire TV Edition
You don’t have to spend a fortune for a 4K TV; spending $500 or less can still net you a TV with good image quality and features. Insignia’s 4K HDR Fire TV Edition model is the perfect case in point, one that supports HDR10, HDMI ARC, and HDMI eArc, among other notable features. Right now, you can pick up the 55-inch model from Best Buy for $369.99, a $180 discount on what is its typical $549.99 price tag. Best Buy will also take $90 off of Facebook Portal TV and offer 30 days of free FuboTV Pro. Amazon is offering the same discount on the TV, too, though it’s shipped and sold by Best Buy.
Toshiba Smart Fire TV Edition
Another Fire TV Edition TV deal happening now is on Toshiba’s 55-inch Smart Fire TV Edition 4K LED, which normally retails for $519.99. As the name might imply, it allows you to stream content from services such as Disney Plus and Netflix, and includes the option to watch live TV. The latest models also tout an Alexa-enabled remote, an easy-to-use interface, and support for both Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10. Right now at Best Buy and Amazon, you can pick up the 55-inch model for $469.99, a modest $50 discount. Best Buy is also throwing in a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV with each purchase (Amazon is not).
TCL Class 4-Series
TCL also has competitively priced televisions, and its 4-Series lineup is one of the more affordable options on the market. The S435 model features a built-in Roku interface, dual-band Wi-Fi, HDR10, and support for all Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. You can currently get the 55-inch model for $379.99 at Best Buy, which is $220 less than the usual retail price. Other sizes are on sale, too, like the 43-inch model, which Best Buy and B&H Photo have for $279.99 instead of $349.99, about $8 shy of the TV’s best price to date. Best Buy also offers new subscribers 30 days of FuboTV Pro and three months of Apple TV Plus with each purchase, along with a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV.
Amazon Omni Fire TV
Amazon’s first TV, the Omni Fire 4K TV, only just launched a few months ago and starts at $370. The self-branded effort features the ability to query Alexa even when the TV is off, as well as a low input lag and support for two-way video calling. We gave it a 7/10 in our review, while noting how the TV shows great promise thanks to its robust Alexa integration and support for Apple’s AirPlay 2, among other things. At the same time, however, TCL and other similarly priced television makers offer better picture quality.
Right now, Amazon is selling the 55-inch model for $419.99 instead of $559.99, which is just $10 more than the discount we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Both the larger and smaller configurations are on sale as well, with the 65-inch going for $599.99 instead of $829.99, nearly matching its lowest price to date. Best Buy is offering comparable sales on various sizes, while throwing in a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV if you purchase the two together. Note, however, only the larger 65-inch and 75-inch models include support for Dolby Vision HDR.
Vizio M7 Series Premium Quantum
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly TV with good picture quality, Vizio’s midrange M7 Series Quantum TV is worthy of consideration, even if it is over $500. The 2021 model sports a 60Hz panel, along with support for Apple’s AirPlay 2, AMD FreeSync, and a variable refresh rate (VRR). It also touts Vizio’s SmartCast system and a built-in Chromecast, allowing you to cast content from your phone and access Netflix, Disney Plus, and all your favorite streaming services. Right now, both Amazon and Best Buy are offering discounts on various size configurations. You can buy the 55-inch, for example, for around $579 ($170 off) at Best Buy and Amazon, or the 50-inch version for $10 less.
The best deals on OLED TVs
OLED televisions offer the best image quality you can get in a mainstream TV, and many were heavily discounted during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed out on those sales, however, you may still have another shot at landing a good deal, as many of the best models are still currently available at a discount.
LG A1 OLED
Right now, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and Amazon are discounting various sizes of the LG’s entry-level A1 OLED, starting at just around $796.99 at Amazon — its lowest price ever — instead of $1,199.99 for the 48-inch. Meanwhile, the $1,299.99 55-inch is selling for $1,196.99 at B&H Photo, and $1,199.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy, $100 shy of its best price to date. Best Buy is also offering up to $200 off on select soundbars, a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV, and 30 days of FuboTV Pro at no additional cost.
The 4K A1 offers support for both Alexa and Google Assistant, as well as an automatic low-latency mode. Unlike more expensive OLEDs, however, it doesn’t come with a slate of advanced gaming features, like those found on LG’s C1 model. It offers a slower 60Hz display and lacks HDMI 2.1, for example, and doesn’t support a variable refresh rate.
LG GX Series OLED
Despite the high price tag, LG’s Gallery Series GX OLED is a good TV for those looking for a more cinematic experience. It includes support for Google Assistant and Alexa, and for those who want to use their TV for gaming, it features Nvidia G-Sync and HDMI 2.1 support, meaning it can take full advantage of the RTX 30-Series cards or next-gen consoles. Right now, you can get the 55-inch model for as low as $1,529.99 ($270 off) at Best Buy in some areas.
Vizio OLED
Normally $1,299.99, Vizio’s 55-inch OLED was recently selling for around $999 – its lowest price ever – but is currently only on sale for $1,085.39 at Walmart, or for $1,199.99 at GameStop and Best Buy. Regardless, the TV is one of the more affordable options if you’re looking for an OLED. Vizio doesn’t have the same kind of experience in the OLED playing field as LG, sure, but it’s a great deal if you want a high-end viewing experience and HDMI 2.1 ports to display high frame rates from your PS5 or Xbox Series X.
Like with other models, Best Buy is also offering a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV with each purchase, in addition to three months of Tidal Premium, HiFi, or Family.
4K TVs for the Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X
Sony’s PS5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X can play 4K games with HDR at up to 120 frames per second. So, naturally, if you don’t have a TV that takes full advantage of your console, it might be time to upgrade to one of our recommendations. For the best experience, you’ll want a TV that supports HDMI 2.1.
LG C1 OLED
If you’re looking for an impressive TV, we recommend turning your attention to LG’s C1 line. Like its predecessor, the CX, the 4K C1 touts support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync technologies, along with a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag. The main difference between the two is that the C1 is available in an 83-inch variant and features a better processor. It also utilizes a newer interface that makes good use of a settings pane dubbed “Game Optimizer,” which conveniently brings together a host of game-centric settings — refresh rate, latency, etc. — for quicker access.
Throughout the holidays, we saw the 55-inch C1 selling for $1,296.99 instead of $1,499.99, its lowest price to date. Sadly, that deal is no longer available. However, there are still some discounts on other configurations. You can, for instance, pick up the smaller, 48-inch model for $1,196.99 at Amazon and B&H Photo, as well as $1,199.99 at Best Buy, instead of $1,299.99. The 65-inch, meanwhile, is also selling for $1,896.99 instead of $2,099.99 at Amazon and B&H Photo. Best Buy also has it for $1,899.99, but is throwing in a $90 discount on Facebook Portal TV as well as 30 days of FuboTV Pro regardless of the configuration.
Samsung Neo QLED QN90A
For a viable OLED alternative, there’s the Neo QLED QN90A. Unlike the LG models above, Samsung’s most recent flagship uses Mini LED backlighting, a technology that allows for better contrast, less “blooming” around white objects on a dark background, and brightness levels that outperform even the best OLED TVs. Like the C1, the QN90A is also built with gamers in mind. The 2021 model features an HDMI 2.1 port and a “Game Bar” that gives you the ability to quickly adjust your screen’s aspect ratio, monitor input lag, and check to ensure settings such as HDR and VRR are active, all of which make for a better gaming experience overall.
During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the 55-inch QN90A sold for as low as $1,299.99. However, Amazon and Best Buy are currently only discounting the $1,799.99 55-inch TV down to $1,497.99 and $1,599.99, respectively. The $3,499.99 75-inch is also on sale for $2,797.99 at Amazon. As usual, Best Buy is also throwing in additional incentives, including up to $300 off soundbars and free delivery.
