When it comes to TV deals, most of us know that Black Friday and Super Bowl season are the two best times to find a great discount on a new TV. Rounding out the top three, however, is Prime Day. Even though the Amazon-centric buying event hasn't been formally announced, we’re already seeing strong deals on TVs you can grab now.
As usual, we expect to see big savings on Amazon Fire TVs as well as Fire TV streaming sticks. But now that Roku is manufacturing its own TVs as well, expect to see it get in on the savings alongside usual TV makers like LG, Samsung, and Hisense. No matter what size of screen you’re looking for, expect to see savings across the board. Last year we saw sales on screens as big as 85 inches, but most of the deals will probably be in the 32- to 65-inch ranges.

No matter what size screen you buy, you’ll probably want to make sure that it’s in a 4K resolution (1080p screens are still out there, but you might as well get the sharpest one worth watching). OLED screens will be pricier thanks to their stronger, sharper colors and high contrast ratios but mini-LED or QLED still offer great picture clarity at a more approachable price point. Gamers will want to make sure a high refresh rate is built in as well, ideally 120Hz if it’s available.
Since Prime Day deals are restricted to Prime members, it’s also worth noting that a major perk of a Prime account is Prime Video, which is home to thousands of shows as well as an increasing amount of live sports like Thursday Night Football. Whatever screen you buy, make sure the Prime TV app is an early download.
