Best cheap TV deals in May 2026 - Tom's Guide
Cheap TV deals from every retailer
www.tomsguide.comHere are the latest TV-deal updates I can share now, based on current publications and ongoing sale cycles.
Direct answer
- Cyber Week and spring/summer sale windows are typically the best times to snag big TV discounts, with frequent price cuts on 4K LCD, QLED, and OLED models from LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, and Hisense. Expect deeper savings on larger sizes (65"–85") and on midrange features like 120 Hz panels and HDR support during major sales events.
Recent highlights from reputable outlets
- Major retailers frequently run substantial deals on 4K TVs around Black Friday/Cantik periods and Cyber Week, including significant markdowns on LG, Samsung, and Sony models, with discounts often ranging from 20% to 50% depending on size and model. These events are repeatedly cited as prime opportunities to save, especially on larger screens.[1]
- Tom’s Guide and TechRadar regularly compile current cheap-TV roundups and retailer-specific promos (Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, etc.), spotlighting best-value 65"–75" sets and gaming-oriented models with features like HDMI 2.1 and high refresh rates, which are common focus areas in ongoing deals.[2][4]
- Consumer-oriented outlets such as CNET, IGN, and Consumer Reports maintain updated lists of “the best TV sales right now,” often aggregating merchant promos and highlighting standout discounts on OLEDs and QLEDs from top brands.[3][5][9]
How to navigate deals now ( Prague, CZ context )
- European retailers and marketplaces frequently mirror US sale cycles but with local currency and shipping considerations. Check major regional electronics outlets and local promotions around public holidays (e.g., May/June sales, autumn tech events) for competing discounts.
- Verify total cost of ownership: include shipping, VAT, potential import duties, and any extended warranty or B-Pack offers in your region to compare apples-to-apples.
- Look for models with future-proof features for gaming and streaming, such as HDMI 2.1, VRR, low input lag, and decent HDR performance, as these tend to retain value across flash sales.
