    Although Amazon Prime Day is now in the rear-view mirror, we’re finding that many of the deals on TVs and soundbars are still available. That’s especially true from the price cuts we also found at Walmart and Best Buy this week, and included in this article.

    These include discounts on some of the best TVs from major brands such as LG, Samsung, and Sony. (And, of course, there are price cuts on Amazon’s own Fire TVs.)

    Each year, Consumer Reports tests hundreds of TVs to help you find the best picture quality and performance for your budget. We also track the prices of all the sets that perform well in our tests. Below, you’ll find the top options available now in a wide range of sizes and prices. When you buy online, make sure to consider the shipping options so that you can get your new set with plenty of time to set it up before a big event. Some retailers offer expedited shipping and others will have in-store pickup or even same-day delivery.

    Jumbo TVs (75 Inches and Larger)

    The 75-inch Amazon B08T6JZTH4, a step-up model in the company’s own line of Fire TVs, did well for overall picture quality, though it had only limited HDR effectiveness. Compared to the entry-level 4-series Amazon sets, it has a slimmer design and support for Dolby Vision HDR, plus built-in far-field microphones for hands-free operation. The TV usually sells for a little over $1,000, so it’s about $300 cheaper during the sale.

    Vizio M75Q6M-K03

    This 75-inch mid-tier M-series set, the Vizio M75Q6m-K03, is getting hard to find, which is why it’s no longer in our ratings. But we tested this set, and it had very good overall picture quality, though subpar HDR. It has Vizio’s SmartCast smart TV system, which will work with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri HomeKit devices if you have any. It’s cheaper at Best Buy than Walmart right now.

    Hisense 85A76H

    We didn’t test the 85-inch Hisense 85A76H, but we have tested other A-series sets, which have done decently, but not exceptionally well, in our ratings. Still this is a nice price for set this size, which uses the Google TV smart TV platform, so it has Chromecast and Google Assistant built in.

    TCL 85Q650G

    The Q6 models, such as 85-inch TCL 85Q650G, are the entry into TCL’s new Q Class. They’re 60Hz models, but have a Game Accelerator feature that lets them double the refresh rate (120Hz VRR) for gaming. They also have ALLM, which puts the TV into a setting for the lowest input lag. The TCL Q6 sets support the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats in addition to HDR10 and HLG, and include Dolby Atmos sound, plus DTS Virtual: X audio, which attempts to create a 3D sound effect using just the TV’s speakers.

    Samsung QN85Q60C

    We didn’t test this 85-inch set, in Samsung’s most affordable QLED series for 2023, but we dids test its 75-inch sibling the Samsung QN75Q60C, and it did very well for overall picture quality, though not great for HDR. It’s now at the same price at several retailers.

    Samsung UN85CU7000FXZA

    We didn’t test this 85-inch Crystal TV from Samsung, in an entry-level 4K series, but we did test the 70-inch version—the Samsung UN70CU7000—and it does very well for all aspects of picture quality except for HDR performance. (It also has very good sound.) This set is well-priced for a TV this size, especially if it does as well in terms of overall picture quality as its 75-inch sibling.

    Large TVs (65 to 70 Inches)

    This 65-inch 4K set, the Amazon B08T6J1HG8, is a step-up model in the company’s own line of Fire TVs, did well for overall picture quality, though it had only limited HDR effectiveness. Compared to the entry-level 4-series Amazon sets, it has a slimmer design and support for Dolby Vision HDR, plus built-in far-field microphones for hands-free operation. It’s a good deal, since the set usually sells for about $200 more.

    TCL 65Q750G

    The TCL 65Q750G set is a 65-inch mid-tier model in its step-up Q-class sets. We haven’t yet tested this model, but it has a few features—such as native 120Hz panels, full-array LED backlights with local dimming, and higher peak brightness—not found in the Q6-series sets below it. TCL is also targeting the Q7 sets at gamers with a number of features, including a new faster processor and Game Accelerator tech that can bump up the TV’s variable refresh rate (VRR).

    Those looking to spend a bit less for a 65-inch OLED TV should consider the LG OLED65B2PUA, one of LG’s entry-level OLED TVs from 2022. It has top-notch overall picture quality and very good sound, but doesn’t get as bright as the C2 sets, so its HDR performance isn’t as good. The set was about the same price at Amazon but no longer.

    TCL 65QM850G

    We’re just about to test these new flagship QM8-series TVs from TCL, which seem pretty impressive on paper. This year they’re the only TCL TVs to get Mini LED backlights, with up to 2,300 local dimming zones. The company also claims the sets can exceed 2,000 nits of peak brightness, which would make them among the brightest sets we’ve ever tested. (We’ll do our own brightness measurements when we get the TVs in our labs.) In addition, QM8 sets have an enhanced audio system with a built-in subwoofer, and get the latest version of WiFi (Wi-Fi 6) for better connectivity.

    The Samsung QN65S95B, one of last year’s QD OLED sets that use quantum dots instead of color filters, is among the best TVs you can buy. It delivers top-notch overall picture quality, plus a very effective HDR performance, among the best we’ve ever tested. (Samsung TVs support HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG HDR formats.) It also has very good sound, with a 2.2.2-channel speaker system and support for Dolby Atmos. We noticed the price was actually about $100 cheaper yesterday than today, so keep a lookout for any additional price changes.

    This 65-inch 4K TV, the Samsung QN65QN90C, a high-end LED/LCD TV in the company’s Neo QLED lineup, delivers top-notch overall picture quality and impressive HDR performance thanks to very high peak brightness. It also has very good sound, and support for many gaming features. It’s just below the company’s flagship model for 2023.

    Midsized TVs (48 to 58 Inches)

    The Samsung QN55QN90B is a 2022 Neo QLED TV from Samsung—which combines quantum dots with Mini LED backlights—is among the very best 55-inch TVs you can buy thanks to top-notch overall picture quality and very effective HDR performance, among the best we’ve seen. It also has a wider-than-average viewing angle for an LCD-based set. We saw the price drop recently, but this is at its lowest level so far. It’s still available at Best Buy, though it costs $100 more than earlier.

    TCL 55Q650G

    The Q6 models, such as 65-inch TCL 55Q650G, are the entry into TCL’s new Q Class. We didn’t test this model yet, but it’s a 60Hz TV that has a Game Accelerator feature that lets them double the refresh rate (120Hz VRR) for gaming. They also have ALLM, which puts the TV into a setting for the lowest input lag. The TCL Q6 sets support the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats in addition to HDR10 and HLG, and include Dolby Atmos sound, plus DTS Virtual: X audio, which attempts to create a 3D sound effect using just the TV’s speakers.

    Hisense 58U6HF

    We didn’t test this particular model, but the Hisense 55U6H had very good overall picture quality, though its HDR and sound weren’t so hot. Hisense supports several different smart TV platforms, but this set is an Amazon Fire TV. (The 55U6H is a Google TV.) It’s at a good price for a 4K smart TV this size.

    Smaller TVs Under 50 Inches

    The Toshiba 32V35KU is a 720p TV, so you get HD, not 4K, resolution. Its picture quality is decent, if unexciting, but it’s at a low price for that second or third set for a smaller room of the house. One good thing is it has the Amazon Fire TV smart TV system, so you have access to streaming services, plus the Alexa digital voice assistant built in. It’s $10 more now than earlier this week.

    This 4K set from Insignia, Best Buy’s house brand, offers very good overall picture quality for a nice price, though its HDR is ineffective. The Insignia NS-43F301NA22 uses the Amazon Fire TV smart TV system, so it has the Alexa digital voice assistant built in.

    Though still pricey, even at the sale price, the 43-inch Samsung QN43QN90B delivers top-notch picture quality and impressive HDR performance. It’s in a series just below the flagship 2022 Neo QLED TVs from Samsung, which combine quantum dots with Mini LED backlights. The set has been selling for close to $1,200 recently, and its price at Amazon is now $13 cheaper than during Prime Day.

    Soundbars

    The Roku Streambar is an inexpensive, versatile two-in-one solution that combines built-in Roku 4K HDR (HDR10) streaming with a compact sound bar speaker that can be added to any TV. However, its sound is only fair, so it’s not the best choice for those looking for a higher-quality speaker for playing of music and soundtracks.

    The LG S65Q is a fairly basic 3.1-channel soundbar in LG’s 2022 lineup that delivers impressive overall sound quality. It can connect to a TV using either an HDMI or an optical audio connection, and if you have a compatible LG TV, it can use LG’s Sound Sync feature to connect via Bluetooth.

    The Samsung HW-Q600B his 3.1.2-channel soundbar system from Samsung, which supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D audio, delivers decent overall sound quality, so more casual listeners will probably find it sufficient for music and movie soundtrack playback. The main enclosure has two upfiring drivers for height. Like other Samsung Q-series soundbars and TVs, it can sync the soundbar and TV speakers to work together to produce a fuller soundstage. Note its price is now $10 higher than it was this morning.

    Stepping up to the 3.1.2-channel LG S75Q in LG’s lineup gets you support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive sound, although it actually didn’t do quite as well for sound as the LG S65Q model below it. The main enclosure has two upfiring drivers to add the element of height, and like the S65Q model the LG Sound Sync feature lets you connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to compatible LG TVs.

    The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 is a smaller all-in-one soundbar speaker that lacks a separate wireless subwoofer. Nonetheless, it delivers decent overall sound quality, though it lacks deep bass. Also, it can function as a smart speaker when used with the Bose Music companion app, which is also needed for some audio adjustments. Bose audio products don’t always go on sale, so this is a good deal, and it’s actually a few dollars cheaper than During Prime Day

    The Vizio Elevate P514a-H6 is a 5.1.4-channel sound bar system from Vizio—which comes with rear satellite speakers and a large wireless subwoofer—that offers very good overall sound, among the better models in our tests. It also has some unique features, most notably motorized speakers at either end of the enclosure that rotate upwards as height channels when the system detects a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X signal. (The speakers return to a front-firing configuration for all other types of content.) It also has Chromecast built in. Note that this soundbar was about $70 cheaper yesterday.

    The Roku Express 4K+ replaced the Roku Premiere in the company’s lineup. Like that model, it’s a small set-top box that offers 4K picture quality, plus support for both HDR10 and HDR10+ high dynamic range formats, though not Dolby Vision, which is found in some pricier models. The included WiFi voice remote control has TV controls that let you turn the TV on, adjust the set’s volume, and use Roku Voice to launch channels, search for content, and control streaming services.
