Conventional wisdom says that if you want the very lowest prices on a 4K TV you wait until Black Friday / Cyber Monday in November, but Amazon’s Prime Day can offer some solid discounts during the dog days of summer.
And what you plug into your TV is just as important, especially since many modern TVs have terrible built-in audio that sounds tinny or leaves spoken dialogue difficult to hear, and app interfaces that are slow and annoying to use. Thankfully, some of these shortcomings can be countered by a decent soundbar or a streaming device from the likes of Amazon, Roku, and others.
So if you’re in the market right now for a big and flashy new TV, something modestly sized for a kitchen or bedroom, or some of the accessories that pull down your streaming content in the best picture and sound quality we’ve got you covered.
The best Prime Day deals on 4K TVs
Amazon’s Fire TV Omni features built-in microphones for Alexa commands and low input lag. It also provides access to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and most major streaming services. Only the 65-inch and 75-inch models support Dolby Vision, however. Read our review.
The Sony Bravia X90L is one of Sony’s most affordable QLED sets. Its excellent XR image processor makes the most of a full-array local dimming panel that produces great picture quality for the money. It also works nicely with consoles like the PS5 thanks to its 120Hz variable refresh rate and game-specific picture optimization.
The LG G3 is a high-end TV with the brightest picture of any OLED that the company has ever produced. Combine that with perfect blacks, superb viewing angles, and top-notch gaming specs, and the G3 makes for a compelling package. Read our LG G3 first impressions.
The best Prime Day deals on 1080p TVs
LG’s StanbyME Go is a fun 27-inch panel nestled within a briefcase. The basic 1080p display doesn’t offer high-end specs, though it does come with a selection of preloaded games, versatile viewing options, and a wide selection of streaming apps. Read our review.
- A projector isn’t technically a TV, but we should give a nod to the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro that’s selling for $369 (around $130 off) at Amazon. This take-anywhere projector has a built-in Bluetooth speaker and surprisingly nice 1080p picture if you’re not in too bright of a space. Read our review.
The best Prime Day deals on streaming devices
The hybrid Echo and Fire TV is faster than its predecessor with extensive hands-free voice control capabilities, support for Wi-Fi 6E, and excellent performance. Read our review.
Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K maintains its simple interface that puts your apps front and center and adds support for Dolby Vision HDR. Read our review.
The best Prime Day deals on soundbars
The Ray is Sonos’ entry-level soundbar that’s best for bedrooms and smaller apartments. It only connects to TVs via optical cable, thus missing out on HDMI-CEC functionality. It also produces balanced, dynamic sound despite its small size, easily besting built-in TV speakers. Read our review.
- Amazon is selling its Fire TV Soundbar for $89.99 ($30 off) for Prime members. The compact, 24-inch soundbar sounds bigger than it looks and also has Fire TV streaming content built in. Read our initial hands-on.
It can’t fully match the loudness and sheer power of the flagship Sonos Sub, but the more compact Sub Mini still kicks out plenty of boom that will make you feel the low-end bass from your couch. Read our review.
