Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is in full swing this week, offering massive savings on everything from AirPods to MacBook Air and much more. We've been keeping an eye on these Apple-related Prime Day discounts all week, but now we're also tracking great sales on other categories, including TVs.

Below we've collected some of the best TV deals you can find during Prime Day, including those from Samsung, Sony, Hisense, LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, and more. Shoppers should remember that Prime Day sales are typically time sensitive, so purchase quickly if you're interested.



It's also worth noting that some deals require an Amazon Prime membership to get Prime Day deals. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime on Amazon if you're a new customer; afterwards the service runs for $14.99/month or $139/year.

Special for 2025, Amazon is also offering a free six month trial to Prime for Young Adults right now. Prime for Young Adults is a discounted Prime membership for anyone age 18-24 that offers all of the Prime benefits at $69.00 per year, half of the price of regular Prime.

Whatever you do, don't buy a FireTV.

It's shocking what a garbage OS that is.

Tried to help a relative with one they bought and we just dumped it on Facebook Marketplace and bought a normal LG.

How bad is it in terms of "overriding" what comes in over HDMI?
In otherwise words, if I just plug in an Apple TV into HDMI 1, do I ever have to interact with the OS again?

If other companies can sell TVs with their OS built-in, why can't Apple?
Some of these other TVs are affordable and of decent quality.
Is Apple fearful of losing control?

I honestly can't help as we got so frustrated with it and pitched it before using it much.
Sorry 😕

Answer the question!
If what I said is correct, then Apple doesn't NEED to sell the TV.
You might want them to do so, but you can buy an LG C class, get about Apple-level screen quality, and just plug in an Apple TV...

This only fails to work IF the TV somehow overrides HDMI 1 or is otherwise obnoxious. That's what I'm trying to understand, because my CX is just delightful in this way. I simply never have to interact with webOS (good or bad, don't know, don't care) ever after the first setup.

Could be compelling though.

ATV & HomePod stereo tech built in, along with a camera for Facetime and whole thing is a home hub also.

I'm sure there are other aspects I'm not even thinking of.

Didn't realize you were asking a question. Sorry.
We have a Vizio TV with legacy connections. A non-smart TV. HD only.
Not looking forward to replacing it with something smarter than me.
I'm guessing you don't need to attach the LG TV, or whatever, to the Internet.
Your OS and apps won't update, but who cares if you're not using them.
My brother has a costly Vizio 65 inch.
It updates while he is using it and some other oddities.
If Apple made the TV as well, you could trust the quality.
I wonder if Amazon, Roku, etc. TVs are any good.
You get what you pay for, right?

The deals listed are junk t.v.'s and are geared mainly towards people only looking at price.

Maybe so, I'm not disputing that. I can well believe that the Fire TV is terrible in terms of what it looks like and how it sounds.
But the specific claims made were about Fire OS, and I am trying to figure out WHY that matters if you are simply going to plug an Apple TV into the device anyway.

Given all the strong opinions on this site, it feels like there's an awful lot of sheep-based hatred here; people who feel they need to speak up about why they hate their favorite smart TV while making ZERO FSCKING EFFORT to learn how to avoid this thing they claim to hate.

An Apple TV will work fine with a Fire TV. It would be best to turn off all the data collecting (Fire TV) pitfalls during setup.

I once dealt with a Roku "SmartTV" that would not let us change the channel or input source until we'd connected to the internet and signed into a Roku account.
Pure anti-consumer garbage.
It saddens me that "dumb" TVs are getting increasingly hard to find.

Yeah, and the way it advertises to you even with paying for it is just ridiculous

Yes, I know other platforms like Roku, Samsung, and others do the same, but I feel like those are less in your face compared to what Amazon does with their Fire TVs/Fire sticks

Yeah, it's a crying shame that it has come to this point

These TVs are getting cheaper mainly because of the advertising that all these companies are force-feeding us (some more than others)

I remember some years ago I got a small TV (27") while still being a smart one in a way, isn't quite in your face as others are

I don't even use the built-in "smarts" of it as it's so laughably laggy, and instead I just use an older Chromecast on it and will continue to do so until somehow those somehow aren't able to be used anymore

I'd like to see an article on the best dumb TV's for Prime Day. I use the Apple TV and have no use for an operating system on a TV which tends to be cumbersome, gets in the way at times, is slow, and may add cost to the TV for licensing fees to the manufacturer.
