Save $120 on a 40-inch TCL TV, but act fast!

2024 TCL S3 HDTV. — TCL

A 40-inch TV is an excellent size for a bedroom or smaller living room. It’s also a fantastic size option for college students living in space-starved dorms. While most TV brands have one or two of these smaller models in the lineup, one 40-inch set we’re always looking for markdowns on is the TCL 3 Series. As luck would have it, we came across a fantastic Walmart markdown not too long ago, and it’s one of the best TV deals we’ve seen this week:

For a limited time, when you order the TCL 40-inch 3 Series at Best Buy, you’ll spend $110, as opposed to the full retail price of $230.

Why you should buy the TCL 3 Series

While this isn’t a 4K TV, the TCL 3 Series is a terrific entry-level LED that you’ll be able to do a lot with. Delivering up to 1080p resolution at 60Hz, the 3 Series is perfect for watching HD movies and shows. The TV gets nice and bright, and the screen does a decent job standing up against brightly lit rooms. And while the contrast levels can lean toward lackluster, one can chalk that up to there being zero dimming zones on this set.

You’ll have two HDMI inputs to choose from and one of them is an ARC connection. This means you’ll be able to use one HDMI cable to send audio and video between the TCL 3 Series and a soundbar or AV receiver. As for streaming apps, games, and smart home controls, the 3 Series uses the Fire TV OS. The TV can even be controlled using both Alexa and Google Assistant!

It’s hard to say how long this discount is going to hang around, so now might be the best time to buy. Save $120 when you purchase the TCL 40-inch 3 Series at Best Buy. You may also want to check out these other Best Buy deals. And if you’re looking for an audio accessory, we recommend checking out these soundbar deals we found.

Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have retired for another year, we’re back to looking for the best TV deals at some of our favorite retailers. We didn’t have to look long either before stumbling across this great offer. For a limited time, when you purchase the TCL 65-inch S4 Series 4K LED at Walmart, you’ll only pay $230. At full price, this model sells for $378. We’ve reviewed several TCL TVs here at Digital Trends, and resident TV expert Caleb Denison is often a fan of the brand’s budget-friendly pricing and (usually) excellent picture quality.

Why you should buy the TCL 65-inch S4 Series
The 65-inch S4 Series is a 4K LED running the Roku TV OS. The S4 Series delivers a bright and colorful picture that holds up well in brightly lit rooms, and thanks to top-notch HDR support, colors become all the more vivid when watching HDR movies and shows or playing HDR games. And while the TV only has a 60Hz refresh rate, TCL’s Auto Game Mode and ALLM support ensure you’ll get the best frame-to-frame performance for your favorite console and PC games.

Post Cyber Monday savings: Take $1,200 off the Samsung 65-inch QN90D

When it comes to top-selling TVs, a brand you can always trust is Samsung. The company makes exceptional LEDs, QLEDs, OLEDs, and even QD-OLEDs, and we’re always on the lookout for the best Samsung TV deals. And guess what? We came across a fantastic offer on Samsung QLEDs just earlier today. Right now, when you purchase the Samsung 65-inch QN90D, you’ll only spend $1,500. While that still may sound expensive, let us remind you that the list price of this model is $2,700. We actually reviewed the 98-inch version of this Sammy QLED a while ago, and our TV expert, Caleb Denison, said it best: “The QN90D series is excellent, but the 98-inch model fell apart for us.”

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch QN90D
Spec-wise, the 65-inch QN90D is a high-performance QLED with mini-LED lighting. Resolution tops out at 4K, and the native refresh rate is as high as 144Hz, which is excellent for PC gamers. HDMI 2.1, VRR, and ALLM are standard across all inputs, too. That way, you’ll always be getting the best frame-to-frame speeds and the lowest input lag possible. The QN90D also supports all modern HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
