SAVE $120: As of Oct. 28, the 50-inch Pioneer 4K Xumo TV is on sale for $129.99 at Best Buy, down from its usual $249.99. That's almost 50% off.

We've been clocking late October as one of the best times of year to find a TV on sale for a while now — the lead up to Black Friday is no joke. Best Buy's Deal of the Day on Oct. 28 is one of the best examples so far this year: A 50-inch 4K TV from Pioneer is on sale for $129.99, slashing nearly 50% off its $249.99 MSRP.

For reference, $129.99 was the sale price of the smaller 43-inch version of this same exact TV during Best Buy's Black Friday sale last year. And the cheapest 50-inch TV we saw during October Prime Day at Amazon was $189.99. If you've been waiting in the wings for a good budget-friendly TV deal this year, this is the one to make a move on.

No one's expecting a cheap 4K TV to match the brightness of QLED or the shadow depth of OLED. But nearly 2,000 customers who already bought this TV at Best Buy are impressed by its picture quality for the price.

With your purchase, you'll also unlock a free month of FuboTV if you're a new subscriber (clutch for watching live sports) and two free months of Apple TV+ for new and some returning subscribers (catch up on Severance or end horror season with a bang).
