Best Buy’s Tech Fest sale ends when the weekend does, meaning you only have a precious few days left to snag an awesome TV as part of the back to school TV deals happening at the moment. In particular, we’ve focused on some reliable brands that have had 55-inch models heavily discounted below. That includes TVs from Best Buy exclusive brand, Insignia, as well as Toshiba and Samsung. These come just ahead of the Labor Day TV sales, but we’d be surprised if things got cheaper next week. For now, here’s a look at some of the best TV deals available today. Each TV is the kind of TV we’d be happy to have in our home: a cheap, mid-sized display from a reputable brand.
Insignia 55-inch F30 Series 4K TV — $230, was $350
Insignia
The Insignia 55-inch F30 Series 4K TV is a good basic TV for anyone who simply wants a 4K TV without paying much. Besides the 55-inch 4K panel, the Insignia 55-inch F30 Series 4K TV has High Dynamic Range (HDR), so you get a wide range of color details and sharper contrast. It means it looks surprisingly good for the price. It also has support for DTS Studio Sound so that you can enjoy a more immersive audio experience across the two-speaker playback. On a practical level, it’s also pretty smart. There’s Fire TV built-in so you can easily access pretty much every streaming app you can think of. There’s also Alexa voice controls to save you from needing to use the remote so often. Instead, you can speak and switch inputs or adjust the volume, among many other things.
Toshiba 55-inch C350 Series 4K TV — $260, was $370
Toshiba
Toshiba isn’t a name synonymous with the best TVs, but it’s still a reliable option and certainly very affordable. With the Toshiba 55-inch C350 Series 4K TV you get access to Toshiba’s Regza Engine 4K which helps upscale non-4K content well, so whatever you watch will look good. It also has Color Remaster which helps restore the original color of the movie you’re watching so it looks more natural. The TV also has support for Dolby VisionHDR and HDR10 so you get a more cinematic and more realistic experience, while sound is bolstered by Dolby Atmos support. For gamers, there’s an auto low latency game mode which improves input lag and ensures you get a better experience while you play. There’s also Fire TV and Alexa built-in for easy access to all your favorite streaming services.
Samsung is one of the best TV brands out there, and that extends to its more budget-friendly models as well as its premium TVs. If you can afford it, stretch to the Samsung 55-inch DU7200 4K TV. It has some great features, such as PurColor, which provides a wider spectrum of colors than typical 4K TVs, and Motion Xcelerator, which helps cut down on motion blur and lag regardless of how fast-moving the action is on screen. There’s also Mega Contrast which automatically adjusts the brightness and contrast as needed, while HDR does its regular glorious thing of making everything look nicer. If you have a Q or S Series soundbar, you can also get far improved sound through Q-Symphony support.
This 83-inch Samsung OLED TV is $900 cheaper right now
If you've always wanted to bring a massive TV into your living room but the prices have been too expensive, even with the savings from TV deals, this offer from Best Buy may be what you've been waiting for. The 83-inch Samsung S90C 4K OLED TV is available with a $900 discount, which slashes its price from $3,500 to $2,600. That's a pretty reasonable price for this fantastic and massive screen for your home theater setup, but if you want to take advantage of this bargain, you're going to have to hurry because there's no telling when it ends.
Why you should buy the 83-inch Samsung S90C 4K OLED TV
First and foremost -- are you sure that you can handle such a gigantic screen? We highly recommend consulting our guide on what size TV to buy, as you need the appropriate amount of space to fully enjoy the 83-inch Samsung S90C 4K OLED TV. Its 4K Ultra HD resolution promises sharp details and vivid colors, with Samsung's Neural Quantum Processor with 4K Upscaling upgrading all the content that you watch. The OLED TV also runs on the Tizen platform for access to all of the popular streaming services, and integration with your smart home system.
If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.
Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.
The 65-inch Samsung The Frame TV is $400 off, but not for long
Samsung's The Frame QLED 4K TV rarely appears in the TV deals at Best Buy, so you don't want to miss this chance at savings from the retailer's Samsung Savings Event. The unique TV's 65-inch model is currently $400 off, which brings its price down to $1,600 from $2,000. There's also a bundle that combines the 65-inch Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV with the Samsung HW-Q930D 9.1.4-channel soundbar, and that is $800 off, for a package price of $2,600 instead of $3,400. If you're interested in making either purchase, you better hurry as the sale ends on October 20, and there's no assurance that stocks will still be available by then.
