Best Holiday Deals on TVs - Consumer Reports
There are plenty of holiday TV sales at great low prices on all sizes, as well as deals on soundbars and streaming devices.
www.consumerreports.orgHere are the latest notable TV deals and where to find them right now.
- Cyber Week and post-Cyber Week sales remain strong for big-brand TVs. You’ll find substantial discounts on LG, Samsung, Sony, and TCL models across major retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, Samsung Store, LG Store) with price cuts often ranging from 15% to 40% for popular sizes like 55–65 inches. This window typically represents some of the lowest prices of the year for new models. For example, mid-range 65-inch 4K TVs frequently dip into the $500–$800 range during deep promotions.
- OLED and QLED flagships often see deeper markdowns during holiday or event-driven sales (Black Friday, Cyber Week) but may have limited stock as promotions wrap up. If you’re eyeing OLEDs, watch for bundles or retailer-exclusive offers that include accessories or extended warranties.
- Budget-friendly picks (around 50–55 inches) continue to offer strong value, with many 4K TVs under $400–$500 during ongoing sales. These are good options if you’re prioritizing features over cutting-edge image tech.
- Gaming-focused deals are common, with HDMI 2.1 support and higher refresh rates on models from Samsung, LG, and Sony. If you’re a console gamer, look for deals on sets with 120 Hz input, low input lag, and VRR.
Tips to maximize savings
- Time promotions: check weekly circulars and retailer “Deals” hubs, as many price drops recur in weekly cycles or around new model introductions.
- Compare across retailers: use price trackers or browser extensions to monitor price history and confirm you’re getting a true deal (watch for price fluctuations that revert after sales).
- Bundles and warranties: sometimes a smaller discount plus a free soundbar, wall mount, or extended warranty yields better value than a larger discount without extras.
- Model year strategy: 2025–2026 models often carry steep discounts as newer inventories arrive; if you’re content with last year’s generation, you can save significantly.
Where to look now
- Major retailers’ TV deal pages (Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Target) typically list daily promos and flash sales.
- Manufacturer stores (LG, Samsung, Sony) often run site-wide promotions with model-specific bundles.
- Tech publications and deal trackers publish curated roundups during active sale periods and can help you spot the best value across sizes.
