With the Prime Day deals ending at midnight EST, there isn't much time to nab a good Prime Day TV deals, but it's worth taking a moment to assess the models discounted at Walmart and Best Buy in their competing sales. 

There are OLED TVs like the Vizio H1 down to just $999, brand-new Samsung Neo QLED screens seeing $300 price cuts, and budget Roku TVs that have inched under $200 in a new discount.
