You Can Save $1,300 on a Samsung TV on Amazon Right Now (2024)

In the thick of summer heat waves, Amazon is giving us a reason to stay cool inside. Prime Day 2024 kicks off on July 16 and 17, with the 48-hour whirlwind event having some of the steepest price cuts of the year. But you don’t have to wait weeks to save—early savings are happening now, offering up to 45 percent off TVs from Samsung, Sony, and more.

Not sure how to find the right screen for you? The biggest thing to consider is the amount of natural light in your viewing room. An OLED screen (like this pick from LG) is ideal for rooms with minimal natural light, such as basem*nts or rooms with only one or two windows.

If your TV room gets a lot of natural light throughout the day, go for a QLED pick (like a Samsung or Amazon Fire TV). They're better at maintaining color contrast, regardless of interfering brightness.

Official Prime Day TV deals are on the horizon, but for now, we’ll leave you with these deals to shop in advance.

55-Inch Samsung The Frame Series QLED Smart TV is $1,198 (20% off; $300 off)

Frame TVs have taken the internet by storm, with the Samsung Frame leading the charge. We’ve seen consistent deals on this anti-glare, QLED smart TV around events like Prime Day, so we’re excited to see it drop in price weeks before the sale. While you get a stellar viewing experience for TV shows, movies, sports games, and more, you can also turn the TV on Art Mode: It displays whatever work of art you choose and seamlessly blend into your home decor.

65-Inch Samsung S95C Series OLED Smart TV is $1,998 (39% off; $1,300 off)

One of the biggest deals we’re seeing on TVs ahead of Prime Day, this screen is a whopping $1,300 off. In our testing, this Samsung pick was the best OLED for gaming, thanks to the exceptional brightness, color volume, and high-quality contrast and motion response. You'll have access to the Samsung Game Hub, which our editors found intuitive to navigate.

55-Inch Samsung QN90C Series Neo QLED Smart TV is $1,098 (45% off; $900 off)

Another one of the steepest price cuts we’re seeing before Prime Day, this QLED pick was one of our best-tested 65-inch screens. The 55-inch pick has the best sale price but is still packed with the same high-tech features. It’s a Neo Quantum HDR+ TV, which is TV-talk for a realistic and surreal-like picture quality that places you right in the action. The anti-glare screen means you can enjoy the TV no matter how much light is shining around it.

Sony 75-Inch X93L Series Bravia XR Mini LED Smart Google TV is $2,498 (11% off; $300 off)

In our testing, the X93L from Sony was the best 4K TV for watching sports, due in part to the bright picture and vibrant color spectrum. It has a high level of standard dynamic range (SDR) contrast, which sharpens images that typically don’t get 4K HDR contrast improvements. Plus, the screen is good at reducing reflections and overcoming room glares, so you don’t miss a moment of action.

Sony 65-Inch X90L Series Full Array LED Smart Google TV is $1,098 (16% off; $200 off)

Finding a newer Sony TV for less than $2,000 can be a bit of a challenge, but the X90L is a great place to start, especially now that it’s below $1,100. The Full Array LED screen creates an immersive viewing experience, and the Google TV interface gives you quick access to your top-used streaming services and apps. The TV also features Acoustic Multi-Audio and support for Dolby Atmos.

Sony 75-Inch X80K Series LED Smart Google TV is $1,746 (20% off; $454 off)

This TV is bundled with a Dolby Atmos soundbar for a full multimedia room upgrade. The TV is a slightly older model (according to TV aging, that is), but it still packs Sony’s 4K HDR Processor X1 for pictures that are smooth, clear, and full of color. The Google TV interface is easy to navigate and the TV features 4K upscaling so you can watch all your favorite shows in 4K, even if they weren't filmed that way.

LG 55-Inch C2 Series OLED Smart TV is $1,247 (31% off; $553 off)

This OLED pick from LG is an “older” model (respective to TV technology) that you shouldn’t write off for being a couple of years old. After testing, we ranked this LG TV as the best for PC gaming. The OLED panel offers excellent colors and contrast, and the TV’s impressive response time makes high-motion gaming blur-free and seamless. That translates into action movies, sports, and more when you're not gaming.

LG 65-Inch QNED85T Series LED Smart TV is $997 (23% off; $303 off)

If you’re a fan of LG’s technology and TV interface but don’t want to overspend on a screen upgrade, this QNED85T Series is under $1,000 right now, and packed with tech specs. It’s a 2024 model, with an a8 AI Processor that reads the pictures you’re watching and automatically adjusts the screen to the optimal settings for an enhanced viewing experience. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate for blur-free motion whether you’re watching a high-speed chase or the big game.

LG 55-Inch C4 Series OLED Smart TV is $1,597 (20% off; $403 off)

Another 2024 model seeing a solid price cut, you’ll get the most out of this OLED screen in a dimly lit room, or at least one that doesn’t get much sunlight throughout the day. The screen is comprised of over 8 million self-lit pixels that work together to create deep, inky blacks and rich contrast for enhanced picture and color quality. You’ll notice the 144Hz refresh rate if you’re upgrading from a 60Hz or 120Hz rate. Fast motion and gaming will look more crisp and blur-free.

55-Inch Amazon Omni QLED Series Smart Fire TV is $450 (25% off; $150 off)

When it comes to Fire TVs, this screen proved to be our best premium pick. It’s not packed with the top-of-the-line tech as a Sony or Samsung QLED, but it also won’t cost you more than $1,100, even at the largest screen size. The 55-inch model strikes the right balance between size and screen quality. The 4K screen has a quality panel boosted by Amazon Fire tech, plus Alexa capability that eliminates the need for a remote.

50-Inch Amazon Omni Series Smart Fire TV is $350 (27% off; $130 off)

The Omni Series is our best overall Fire TV. The TV offers excellent value for money, remote-free Alexa control, and the 4K HDR screen has solid enough picture quality if you're not a cinephile. There are 3 HDMI ports and an HDMI eARC port, letting you hook up gaming consoles and sound bars with ease. Our editors are fans of the minimalist design and simple remote design that’s easy to use.

50-Inch Amazon 4-Series UHD Smart Fire TV is $330 (27% off; $120 off)

A budget-friendly find, the 4-Series Fire TV makes a smart choice for kids’ rooms or college dorms. It’s easy to plug gaming equipment into thanks to the four HDMI ports, plus the Fire TV interface gives quick access to streaming services and apps. You can use the remote to access voice control over the TV at the press of a button. It’s not the best screen on the market, but for under $500, it’s a solid pick.

Yes, Prime Day is arguably one of the best times of year to buy a TV. Last year, we saw deals for up to $900 off TVs, with some smaller screens (think: 32- to 40-inch picks) even dropping under $100. In the 6+ years we’ve been covering Prime Day, our editors have found the prices during Amaozn’s annual event to rival those of holiday sales, like Black Friday.
