Best 4K TV deals
We named the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money on the market in in 2023 and right now you can snag this 65-inch model for hundreds off. It features a stunning 4K OLED display with Dolby Vision, and a fourth-gen A9 processor to automatically upscale content. It's also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync and FreeSync Premium for optimized gaming, and it comes with Google Assistant and Alexa built in.
Vizio's V-Series won our 2023 budget TV shootout by delivering better picture quality than the others, including the TCL 4-Series Roku TV above. We liked its Roku smart TV system better than Vizio's SmartCast, however, so the one you choose comes down to your priorities. The 4-Series lacks the Dolby Vision, Bluetooth connectivity and AMD FreeSync with a variable refresh rate, all of which the Vizio offers.
With a massive 85-inch display, this Samsung Q60B is the largest TV you'll find on this list. It features a stunning 4K ultra HD display, and is equipped with dual LED backlighting for vibrant colors and sharp contrast. It even has a processor with 4K upscaling to improve the look of your HD content.
The Fire TV 4 Series is definitely a basic 4K TV, but that doesn't mean it should be dismissed out of hand. It landed a spot on our best budget TV list, which means it has a lot to offer.
There are some trade-offs when you opt for a budget set, but it might still be worth it at the much lower price, especially while it's discounted by 42%. It lacks some higher-end specs like Dolby Vision and gaming features such as AMD FreeSync, but this TV does deliver a brilliantly bright image, which makes it one of the best pictures on any entry-level model, and it's a great fit for those who are already using the Amazon ecosystem.
This 4K TV has excellent image quality thanks to the bright QLED screen that delivers realistic contrast. It has 4K upscaling, an anti-glare design, Dolby Atmos and object tracking sound and a built-in game hub.
The Toshiba C350 is packed full of features, including AirPlay support, a hands-free Alexa voice remote and a low-latency gaming mode. It's equipped with a Regza Engine 4K for an impressive picture, as well as support for Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 Plus. And with DTS Virtual: X technology, it should be capable of pushing out immersive audio.

This 4K UHD Insignia might not have made it onto our list of the best TVs for this year, but it still boasts impressive specs that make it a highly competitive model and a solid deal if you're after a bigger screen. It runs Amazon's Fire TV OS, so you can instantly access all your favorite streaming content, and it also supports Apple AirPlay (though not Chromecast). It's equipped with an HDMI eARC port so it's easy to run the audio through a soundbar or surround-sound system, and the Alexa voice remote allows for easy hands-free browsing.
Featured on both our list of the best 4K TVs and the best TVs overall for 2023, the TCL 4-Series is our favorite budget-friendly option on the market right now. Even at full price, the TCL 4-Series is one of the best value TVs we've seen. This 55-inch TV boasts a 4K picture with HDR. And it comes with Roku built in, so you can access all of your favorite streaming apps right out of the box.
What should you look for in a 4K TV deal?
With hundreds of different 4K TV deals from a variety of brands to choose from, it can be hard to know exactly what to be on the lookout for. The size of your space will likely dictate which 4K TV deals are appropriate for you and the number of devices you want to plug in will also rule out any 4K TVs with very few HDMI ports. Since most new TVs are smart these days, you'll also want to consider which platform a 4K TV you're eyeing up runs, such as Amazon's Fire OS, Google TV or Roku, as well as any smart home integrations you'll want to make the most off -- like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple's HomeKit and AirPlay tech.
Price is a determining factor for a lot of folks, so scoring a steep 4K TV discount is never a bad thing. Often, TV-makers release new models each which can prompt previous-gen TVs to go on sale with large price cuts despite relatively minor changes, so it's often worth considering a TV set from a year or two ago if you don't need the cutting-edge tech.
When are the best 4K TV deals available?
Like most consumer electronics, the best 4K TV deals will be found around major sale events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. These annual events offer some of the best prices of the year and see multiple retailers competing for shoppers' cash, which is good news for your wallet. That's not to say you can't find a good 4K TV deal all year round, though. We keep tabs on TV pricing throughout the year and any surprise, out-of-season sales will be listed above.
Which retailers usually offer the best 4K TV deals?
When you think of nabbing a 4K TV deal, you should start at the big box retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart. These stores tend to offer some of the biggest sales on 4K TVs, both in store and online, with online-only retailers like Amazon often matching prices -- especially during the fall sale season.
