Why we love it

Of the handful of 85-inch Samsung TVs on sale this week, we think the deal on the Q80C is the best bang for your buck — now with an extra $200 discount on top of its sale price from last week, bringing the price cut to over $1,000. The Q80C is Samsung's most advanced QLED (before meeting the Neo QLED side of the family), packing 96 precisely-lit local dimming zones for the meticulous brightness necessary for watching sports in the daylight. Also present are advanced gaming features like a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR support.

LG TV deals

Why we love it

LG's OLED models got a glow-up in 2023, and the B3 model is the most affordable one — and with Best Buy's huge $900 discount on the 65-inch model, it's basically begging to be in your living room.

The B3's lower price point can mostly be attributed to its less-advanced a7 processor compared to the C3 and G3's Alpha a9. However, the B3 runs laps around the cheapest-of-the-cheap 4K TVs with Dolby Vision and next-gen gaming features like a 120 Hz refresh rate, both of which help to push those 8.3 million self-lit pixels to their fullest potential.

Sony TV deals

Why we love it

A cheap OLED to Sony and a cheap OLED to the rest of us mean two very different things, but this sale price makes Sony's lowest-tier OLED from the 2023 TV lineup look far more approachable. The A80L is bright and starkly contrasted with flawless black uniformity — a rare combination that makes this TV pop in both bright and dark rooms. Even as the baseline OLED, the A80L is still armed with the same Cognitivie Processor XR that the pricier 2023 Sony OLEDs are, making it a perfectionist when it comes to upscaling low-res content.

Did Best Buy hike the price to make the sale look better? They sure did — according to Sony's website, at least, where the original price of this TV is $2,199.99 instead of $2,599.99. However, that doesn't discount the bottom line, which is the fact that a big size of one of the latest Sony OLEDs is going for $1,799.99.

Why we love it

Almost every 2023 TCL TV is seeing a further discount on already-good sale prices that they were at for weeks, but this model in particular deserves a special shout-out. In what seems to be a Best Buy exclusive situation, TCL's Q5 series recently became available and knocked the Q6 Series out of its spot as the brand's most affordable QLED. And with Best Buy's $120 discount, it easily becomes the cheapest 55-inch QLED on our list — a quick scroll up to our mid-size QLED picks from Samsung, Sony, and LG make the rarity of a 55-inch QLED TV under $350 palpable.

The Q5 has most of the same specs as the Q6 including HDR PRO+ with Dolby Vision, Motion Rate 240 motion smoothing technology (a win for gamers on a budget), three HDMI ports, and built-in Google Assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions


The higher the refresh rate, the less lag you'll notice while watching a fast-paced game.

Refresh rate essentially dictates how fast the screen updates the image to keep up with whatever you're watching. Officially, this is measured in Hertz (Hz), with the number preceding Hz referring to the number of times per second the screen refreshes the image.

60 Hz is the number you'll come across in most budget and mid-range TVs, while premium models usually jump to 120 Hz.
