This 40% off 75-Inch Hisense 4K TV will steal the show at your next family gathering

The Hisense 75-inch U6HF ULED 4K TV on a white background.

When it comes to getting a new TV, there's a mantra that many of us like to follow: bigger is better. 75-inch and over TVs usually have a price tag to match their large size, but thanks to Best Buy's post-Prime Day sales, that doesn't have to be the case. This is currently on-sale for only $750 -- which is roughly 38% off -- meaning you can grab this behemoth that'll dominate your living room for less than $1,000.

Why This $750 TV Is A Steal
This HiSense Class U6 Mini-Led might be budget friendly, but it doesn't skimp in the feature department. It offers 4K resolution with mini-LED backlighting, which means that it has better contrast and brightness than a lot of other LED TVs in its price range, especially in a dark room. Like many modern sets, it also has an AI chip for improving visuals of base content on the fly, as well as a game mode that supports variable refresh rates and lowers input latency.
