Things are looking bright for those who want to nab a great TV in 2023 at a substantial discount. Although some new models announced during CES 2023 have recently arrived, not all are receiving frequent or significant discounts. However, you don’t have to wait to land a great deal on a mid- or high-end TV from LG, TCL, Hisense, or Amazon’s own Fire TV brand, as many of the flagship models from this year and last are currently selling for hundreds of dollars less than their original list price. Right now, there are a number of discounted 4K TVs to choose from, spanning a wide variety of prices, size configurations, and feature sets. 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 some common categories.
The best 4K TV deals for most people
TCL 6-Series Mini LED
The TCL 6-Series R646 model has a Mini LED QLED panel with HDR10 Plus support and 4K gaming at 120Hz via HDMI 2.1 as well as hands-free Google Assistant voice commands and the Google TV interface that offers all major streaming apps. It’s a good option if you are looking to balance price and performance, and the 55-inch model is currently on sale at Amazon for $549.99 ($100 off), which is the lowest price on the popular 6-Series model.

TCL’s R646 6-Series Google TV features Mini LED backlighting for an impactful, bright picture. The TV’s performance and frequent improvements via software updates make it among the best values on the market.
Hisense U8H
The Hisense U8H is another great value for a moderately priced Mini LED. The 4K TV can render some impressive peak levels of brightness and offers up to 120Hz for your gaming needs; it also supports HDMI 2.1 on two of its four ports. Plus, it supports Google TV. All of this originally started at $1,099.99, but the 55-inch model can now be had for $649.99 ($50 off) at Best Buy. Also, the 65-inch Hisense U8H is selling for around $799 ($150 off) at Amazon and Best Buy.
While we haven’t officially reviewed the Hisense U8H, our own TV reviewer, Chris Welch, liked it enough to buy one for himself, and if that’s not a real recommendation, I don’t know what is.
Hisense’s U8H Mini LED 4K TV can hit some truly impressive brightness levels and produce mesmerizing HDR. The TV also supports 4K 120Hz, Wi-Fi 6, and runs Google TV software.

TCL 4-Series (Roku TV model)
Like its predecessor, TCL’s latest 4-Series remains one of the more affordable options on the market. The 2022 model with Roku interface (the S455 variant) offers four HDMI ports — one of which supports eARC for an optional soundbar. At the same time, the LED TV continues to support HDR10, all the major streaming apps, and a standard 60Hz refresh rate.
The 4-Series comes in a variety of sizes, and right now, you have your choice from small to big at modest discounts. Best Buy is selling the 50-inch for $269.99 ($30 off), the 55-inch for $279.99 ($40 off), the 65-inch for $359.99 ($70 off), and the jumbo 75-inch for $599.99 (a paltry $20 off). While the 4-Series may not have the most coveted specs or highest-quality LED panel, it’s hard to deny how good of a value it offers, regardless of which size panel you choose — with the current deal on the 65-inch offering the best value right now.

Amazon Fire TV Omni (2021)
The older 2021 model of the Amazon Fire TV Omni, the precursor to the newer QLED version, is seeing some solid sales. Amazon is discounting the 55-inch Fire TV Omni to $469.99 ($80 off) while the 65-inch version is $599.99 ($160 off). Lastly, the bigger 75-inch model gets the biggest discount at Amazon, as it’s currently $859.99 ($190 off).
The 2021 Fire TV Omni didn’t wow us with its picture quality, but its aggressive pricing and deep Alexa integration, which allows for voice control even when it’s turned off, helped make up for that a bit. If you’re on a budget and aren’t allergic to Amazon pushing its own content, the Omni, at these prices, is worth a look.
Amazon’s 2021 Fire TV Omni features built-in microphones for Alexa commands, low input lag, and support for two-way video calling. It also provides access to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and most major streaming services. Only the 65-inch and 75-inch models support Dolby Vision, however.
Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED
Amazon’s newer Fire TV Omni QLED launched in late 2022, and we’re seeing frequent, sizable discounts. The 65-inch model debuted at $799.99 but is currently discounted to $599.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. We haven’t tested the new QLEDs, but it seems to build on the last-gen model with a better design. It supports Dolby Vision IQ for HDR — allowing it to adjust itself depending on the amount of ambient light — along with the same hands-free Alexa perks offered by the previous model and local dimming for more realistic lighting in scenes. Our colleague Chris Welch has all the major details in his announcement post.

The best deals on 4K TVs for the PS5 and Xbox Series X
Sony’s PlayStation 5 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 the models below. Note that, for the best experience, you’ll want a TV that supports HDMI 2.1.
LG C2 OLED
If you’re looking for an impressive TV, we recommend turning your attention to LG’s 2022 C2 model. The 4K TV touts support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate tech along with a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag. It also boasts a settings pane dubbed “Game Optimizer,” which conveniently brings together a host of game-centric settings — refresh rate, latency, etc. — for quicker access.
The C2 is slowly on its way out now that the newer C3 is here to replace it, but in the meantime, the C2 is receiving frequent discounts across a variety of sizes. One of the best deals right now is on the 55-inch version, which is on sale at Amazon for $1,196.99 (about $300 off), as well as the 65-inch version, which is down to $1,596.99 ($300 off) at both Amazon and B&H Photo.
LG’s C2 is a jack-of-all-trades 4K OLED TV. It offers beautiful picture with perfect blacks, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and a ton of software features, including support for Apple HomeKit and AirPlay 2.
LG C3 OLED
If you can spend a bit more and want an OLED with a little more futureproofing, the newer LG C3 is now receiving some occasional discounts. The new model may not be head and shoulders better than the last-gen C2 in every way, but it’s both faster and brighter. The TV’s new processing power should make it a good TV for the long haul, as it’s less likely to slow down over the years as new updates come out, and it’s also got some nifty new picture modes to guide you through getting the look you want.
Right now, you can get the 55-inch LG C3 for $1,496.99 ($300 off) at B&H Photo or for $1,499.99 at Best Buy. However, the best deal around is on the 65-inch C3, which you can get through August 6th for $1,757.59 (around $740 off the MSRP) from BuyDig through eBay when you use the 20 percent off code SAVE4SCHOOL at checkout.
The LG C3 offers more processing power than its predecessor and several new picture modes. It continues to offer a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag as well, along with support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate tech.
