3 of the best TV deals to shop this weekend: TCL, Hisense, and Samsung at record lows
The days of emptying your wallet to upgrade your TV are long gone. In 2026, there are plenty of premium TV options at reasonable prices — and you can find plenty of last year's models on sale this time of year.
I've rounded up three of the best TV deals I could find from some of our favorite brands heading into this weekend, with savings up to $1,300 (yes, really). Note that Amazon's list prices are often incorrect and we've referred to the original listings from each brand's website for accurate pricing. More often than not, you're actually saving even more money than Amazon lets on.
If a TV is on your tech upgrade list, check out these deals on some of our top picks from TCL, Samsung, and Hisense below.
Best TCL TV deal
TCL's T7 lineup, released in late 2025, is quite the enigma. It's loaded with flagship-tier features, yet it comes with a price tag that won't scare you away. Even better, the 55-inch model is on sale for over $200 off — just one cent away from its all-time low price from Black Friday. With the T7, you'll get a quantum dot display with a native refresh rate of 144Hz, an AI processor that auto-optimizes color, contrast, and clarity for the ultimate picture, modern smart features through Google TV, and integrated Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Digital+ audio processing. Honestly, TCL should be charging a whole lot more for this TV, but we aren't complaining. Note that this discount is a Lightning deal at Amazon, so you'll have to act fast to secure the discount.
Best Hisense TV deal
Hisense's U8 Mini LED TVs from 2025 are among the brightest TVs CNET (Mashable's sister site, also owned by Ziff Davis) reviewer Ty Pendlebury has ever tested. He also noted that their brightness is complemented with excellent contrast and well-saturated colors. In other words, it's a remarkably vibrant and colorful TV — a great choice for watching sports, getting lost in movies, and even immersing yourself in games. It packs a 165Hz native refresh rate, 5000 nits peak brightness, up to 5,600 local dimming zones, smart features and a streamlined interface through Google TV, and support for HDR in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Usually the 65-inch model retails for a steep $2,199, but you can grab it this weekend for under $900.
Best Samsung TV deal
Samsung's TV lineup is vast, but on the budget-friendly side of its QLED models stands the Q8F. It may not be the fanciest QLED, but its features are still pretty impressive. It combines a vibrant quantum dot display with a Q4 AI processor to upscale your content and integrated sensors to monitor ambient sound and auto-adjust for a top-notch listening experience. There's also a dedicated gaming dashboard featuring a 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium VRR, and Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ for a buttery smooth, stutter-free performance. The 65-inch model typically hovers the $1,000 threshold, but it's currently down to its best price ever at Amazon — grab it for only $697.99 this weekend.
