The best early October Prime Day TV deals are on Fire TVs, of course

Don't endure another football and scary movie season with that old, laggy TV.

Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events on the internet and, fortunately for us, it happens twice a year.

October Prime Day in particular is not only a great time to buy a TV on sale, but happens to fall during prime TV watching season. Whether you're a football person, a scary movie person, or a cozy fall show rewatch person, this is your chance to upgrade TVs without waiting until Black Friday.

A quick look at the best early October Prime Day TV deals

Best 55-inch TV deal
Amazon 55-inch 4 Series 4K Fire TV
$339.99 at Amazon (save $180)
Amazon 4 Series Fire TV with blue and purple screensaver

Best 65-inch TV deal

Best 75-inch TV deal

Though Prime Big Deal Days (October Prime Day's official title) doesn't officially start until tomorrow, Oct. 8, Amazon’s got some pretty good deals live already. We've pulled the best ones and organized them by size, and will be refreshing this list daily throughout the sale and the days after — deals tend to stick around for a second after a Prime event ends.

Before you take the plunge on an Amazon TV deal, though, it would be smart to check out Best Buy's Flash Sale that happens to fall on the same two days as Prime Day. Best Buy tends to have a wider selection of TV deals than Amazon, particularly on the more premium end from Samsung, LG, and Sony.

Why we like it

Who says you need to spend a grand to get a nice (and decently-sized) 4K TV? With the early 35% discount that Amazon slapped on the 55-inch version of its most affordable Fire TV, Prime members could actually get one for two different rooms for way less than $1,000.

As Amazon's most basic in-house Fire TV, the 4-Series would be best suited for people who aren't super picky about saturation or brightness levels as long as it's a step up from their old LED TV — and this definitely will be. With the intuitive Fire TV platform built in, the 4-Series can access all of your favorite streaming apps, which you can arrange in whatever layout makes sense to you.
