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.

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. 

TV deals buying advice

Where can I find the best TV deals?

You'll find all the best TV deals from biggest sales on this page. But if you'd rather search the sales yourself, try Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy first: they tend to feature the best TV deals all year round, with good stock levels on both newer releases as well as older favorites. You'll also get a full warranty and support, which isn't always the case if you opt for a cheap TV deal on an auction site like eBay.

Other top retailers to check out include Samsung, Dell, and B&H Photo, all of which offer great price matching, along with excellent warranties. Here's a round up of our favorite retailers, so you can browse the latest TV deals yourself.

When's the best time to get a TV deal?

Cheap TV deals can be found at all the big retailers all year round. Week in and week out, there's always something on sale at the likes of Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart – it's always possible to bag a bargain. 

That said, most retailers bring TV prices down even further during the many seasonal sales events each year. You'll see some of the best TV deals on Black Friday in November and Prime Day in the summer - last year, a number of brand-new releases were discounted, it wasn't just older models that became cheaper. Other holiday sales that offer impressive TV deals include Memorial Day sales and Labor Day sales. 

In the meantime, you'll find all the latest TV deals here.
