Overview
- Deal trackers and roundups published Friday flagged standout drops, including Samsung’s 65-inch QLED Q8F at $597.99 and TCL’s 98-inch QM8K at about $2,997 on Amazon.
- Reviewers point to Hisense and TCL for the best value, with Mini‑LED sets like the TCL QM8K 65-inch falling under $1,000 and Hisense’s U7 series hitting new lows at 65 and 75 inches.
- Premium screens are discounted too, with Samsung’s S95F OLED 65-inch $800 off at Amazon and LG’s C5 OLED 65-inch marked down by $1,300 at Best Buy.
- Retail competition is shaping prices, as Best Buy offers exclusives such as the 48-inch LG B5 OLED for $599 and keeps recent Samsung OLEDs like the 65-inch S84F at $899.99.
- Analysts tie the drops to new flagship launches in January that push down prior-year models, and price data from camelcamelcamel shows many listings at or below past lows, with experts urging buyers to weigh features like refresh rate, HDR formats, and VRR over the absolute cheapest tag.
