Update 10/10/24: Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days has come to an end, but that’s no reason to give up on a Prime Day discount. There are some Prime Day deals still hanging around, and if you’re in the market for a QLED TV we’ve gotten all of the best Prime Day QLED TV deals updated to reflect what’s available now that the official sales event has ended.

Prime Big Deal Days has ended and the sales available in its immediate wake are likely your last chance to pick up Prime Day deals on things like QLED TVs.

As such, we’ve collected some of the best Prime Day TV deals with QLED panels, although if you’re looking to take your TV set up even further, these OLED TV Prime Day deals are also worth checking out.

This TV is, in the words of Caleb Denison in our 2023 Samsung QN90C review, “what premium TV looks like.” Why then, did it get only 4 stars? In part because our reviewer doesn’t like the Tizen OS, which this TV uses, and in another part because the TV is so expensive by default. While the first is at least somewhat subjective, there’s no doubt that the second one is mitigated by this $400 discount.

How to Choose a QLED TV on Prime Day

The decisions that go into buying QLED TVs are similar to the thought processes you’d take when trying to consider what is the best overall TV to buy. That means that it primarily comes down to cost and whether you want to pay the extra premium for better contrast and brightness. So, if you’re the sort of person who doesn’t really watch HDR content or already has a pretty high-end TV, then making the change to QLED TVs may not exactly be worth it for you. On the other hand, if you’re upgrading your TV to something newer or buying something bigger, then it absolutely makes sense to go to QLED, and some of the best QLED TVs out there are pretty amazing.

Besides that aspect, you’ll also want to consider things like what size TV you should buy for the space that you have so you aren’t spending money on a bigger TV that you don’t need. Also, if you tend to game on a console or PC, then getting something with a base refresh rate of 120 Hz is a great idea. That also applies to action-packed movies and shows, as well as sports, and for the latter, you’ll also want to look for a TV that supports HLG HDR. Quite a lot do, so you shouldn’t be locked out of many TVs.

How We Chose These QLED TV Prime Day Deals

Given that QLED technology is relatively new, it’s a bit more straightforward to recommend QLED TVs, especially during Prime Day, one of the best sales periods for TVs. That means that pretty much all the best TV brands, and a few other brands, have some form of QLED TV on sale. As such, we do our best to pick and choose the deals that will give you a really good return on your investment, especially when looking at things like historical pricing and whether the discount is actually a discount or if the retailer or brand just temporarily raised the prices outside of these big sales event to make the discount look bigger.

We also look at things like other sort of QLED TVs within the same price bracket and what they offer to the consumer. After all, there’s no point in spending, say, $500 on one TV when you can spend $450 on a similar TV with all the same features. Of course, TV preferences tend to be quite personal and specific to the space they are needed for, so we try not to make any assumptions and provide you with a wide selection of deals.

The best Sonos alternatives

We have recommended Sonos wireless speakers and components for years. We still think the company makes a fantastic product. But the absolute fiasco caused by the May 7 Sonos app redesign broke almost every aspect of the Sonos experience -- and we’re still waiting for fixes that were promised weeks ago.

If you’re a Sonos owner, we share your frustration. If your investment in the company’s ecosystem is significant, your best bet is to wait and ride out this storm. Eventually things will return to normal and, hopefully, the Sonos experience will be better than before.
