What makes this TV so special? First off, the price—down from $300 to just $200. It features a brilliant 40-inch LED display with Full HD resolution. Simply put, colors are vivid and black levels are dark—instead of murky and dull. Meanwhile, there’s a built-in Roku (no need to hook up a separate box or stick), so you get over 500,000 video streaming channels, including Netflix, Disney+, HBO, Prime Video, Hulu and more. And Amazon shoppers love its included remote.

“This smart TV has endless viewing capabilities,” shared a five-star reviewer. “Picture quality is excellent and configurations are user friendly. What my family and I like the most is the TV’s remote. It fits perfectly in all our hands. And you can actually reach every single button with your thumb.”

A 50-inch TV on sale for an itty-bitty $298? Yep, the Vizio 50-inch M-Series Quantum 4K Ultra HD Smart TV delivers brilliant picture quality with modern streaming features, and it’s at an irresistible price right now. What really sets this 4K TV apart? It delivers more colors than standard models—thanks to its Quantum color technology. This is in part due to a light source behind the LED screen that brightens or dims automatically, based on what you’re watching. The upshot? Whether you’re watching a movie or a football game, the images are more detailed and colors more vivid.

“I really like the quality of the picture and that you can easily change the contrast...very happy with the whole deal,” reported a shopper.

On sale for just $450, down from $700, this 65-inch RCA 4K TV model is a steal. With its massive display, it’s more than suitable for video streaming, playing video games and watching live sports, while its true 4K Ultra HD resolution is ideal for the clarity and detailed picture quality you need to get you through the winter.

The audio is so stellar, you might not even need a soundbar. But if you do, it has three HDMI ports for a Blu-ray player, gaming console and more. And Walmart shoppers say this 4K TV is just as good (if not better) than the competition.

“Excellent sound and beautiful picture,” raved a delighted five-star reviewer. “I have five smart big screen televisions. One Sharp, two Samsungs, one LG. The RCA 65-inch QLED is as good as the others at more than half the price.”

One of the best deals in this roundup is on the Sceptre 75-inch Class 4K Ultra HD LED TV. This is not a typo: It’s just $648, or a whopping $1,152 off at Walmart. This guy doesn’t flaunt a ton of bells and whistles like video streaming or smart home access; its sheer size is the big selling point. Oh, and the fact that it’s incredibly vivid—and top-notch quality.

“Perfection in a TV,” raved a delighted five-star Walmart reviewer. “Besides the clearest, brightest, sharpest, prettiest picture we have ever seen, this TV has every feature you could want and none of the forced-upon-you features that you don't want (no snooping) or need, yet pay for...U.S. made quality!”
