Amazon’s Big Spring Sale Pushes TV Prices to Record Lows as Best Buy Counters

Clearance pricing tied to 2026 model rollouts is pushing TV prices to rare lows.

Overview

  • Editors flagged record-low prices Friday on sets like Samsung’s 65-inch Q8F at $597.99, Samsung’s S95F OLED $800 off, and TCL’s 65-inch QM8 under $1,000 as Amazon’s sale runs through March 31.
  • Best Buy is matching with its own markdowns and exclusives, including the 48-inch LG B5 at $599 and a 65-inch Samsung S84F OLED at $899.99, with steadier stock on many 2025 models.
  • Premium OLED and Mini‑LED flagships are hundreds to thousands below 2025 launch prices, with Samsung OLEDs up to $2,800 off according to 9to5Toys.
  • Reviewers are steering shoppers to value picks that balance performance and price, calling out LG C5, TCL QM8, Samsung S95F and S85F, and Hisense U7 and U6 for bright rooms and gaming features like HDMI 2.1 and VRR.
  • Coverage notes fast-moving inventory and warns these deals may not return soon, with some outlets citing rising parts costs, including memory demand from AI data centers, as a risk to later-year pricing.
