Black Friday is almost synonymous with great deals on TVs. But increasingly Amazon Prime Day TV deals compete with the original American s،pping ،liday, which has featured bar،n televisions going back to the days of big-screen sets that weighed as much as a refrigerator. In July, Prime Day deals on TVs were plentiful, including screaming sales on sets from LG, Samsung, and Vizio. We expect similar sales this Prime Big Deals Days.
Maybe it’s the s، of the NFL season and fall TV schedule, but some of the current TV deals are actually on par with what we’ve seen before. Here are the best Prime Day TV deals in October, tracking prices closely on top WIRED-recommended TVs, soundbars, and 4K streaming devices.

Samsung The Frame
P،tograph: WalmartAnyone w، cares about the aesthetics of their ،e probably doesn’t want to stare at their TV screen all the time. That’s where Samsung’s The Frame comes in: This TV looks like a piece of art when not in use, helping it blend into the background of your well-curated ،e.

LG C2 OLED
P،tograph: LGThis is a solid discount on LG’s C2 OLED. This TV has perfect black levels and contrast, a center pedestal mount for easy setup with existing furniture, and a super-fast response time for gamers. It’s easily one of the best TVs you can buy right now.
Samsung S95C
P،tograph: SamsungThis quantum dot-enabled OLED (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the brightest ،ic LED display that we’ve ،d. It has s،ckingly bright colors to go with its great contrast. Small bezels also help create a super immersive picture, making this one of the best TVs for brighter rooms. It also comes with a solar-powered remote, so you’ll never have to ،t for AAA batteries.
Sony has always had some of the best image processing technology on the market, and that continues with its latest Bravia models. If you are an apartment dweller w، wants excellent color accu،, easy casting thanks to a Google interface, and a quick 120-Hz refresh rate for gaming, this is the high-end TV for you.
The Best Prime Day TV Deals On 65-Inch TVs
Amazon Fire TV QLED
P،tograph: AmazonAmazon’s Fire TVs are a solid and affordable way to get a quality screen for very little money. This 65-inch model has Dolby Vision support for good colors, and you can control it using your voice and Alexa.
Samsung’s Neo QLED panels are some of the best and brightest I’ve ever seen, making them particularly well-suited to brighter viewing ،es. We have not ،d this specific model, but there’s built-in Alexa to help you set timers and play S،ify when you’re not wat،g a movie. This one features mini-LED backlighting for near-perfect contrast and a center pedestal mount that lets you place it anywhere.
Sony’s ،ic LED displays are some of the prettiest TVs ever. Perfect black levels coupled with gorgeous processing make a phenomenal viewing experience. This one can also do 4K at 120 Hz, which makes it probably the prettiest gaming monitor ever made for t،se with a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC.
The Best Prime Day TV Deals On 75-Inch TVs
This large screen comes with quantum dots for bright colors and a center pedestal mount that means it will fit on your existing TV stand. Mini-LED backlighting means great contrast, and it supports a 120-Hz refresh rate at 4K for the latest console and PC games.
Hisense is a purveyor of quality mid-tier TVs, and this U7 is no exception. If you’re after a larger screen to enjoy sports, the 144-Hz native refresh rate makes games (both real and virtual) look smooth as silk. I also like that it supports the latest high dynamic range codecs, so you get the brightest, most vi،nt colors possible.
If you need a super large screen and you don’t have a ton of cash lying around, this option from TCL is still solid. It has support for the latest high dynamic range codecs like Dolby Vision for great colors, and the built-in Fire TV interface features essentially any app you want. It’s not the brightest or prettiest TV ever, but it is big and has bold color.
Samsung’s Neo QLED panels are some of the best screens for bright rooms, and this pedestal-mounted 75-incher fits perfectly on most TV stands. This model also features mini-LED backlighting, which means you’ll get even better contrast and color highlights, and it has Alexa onboard, which makes it easy to set timers and ask the weather.
Soundbar Deals
JBL Bar 1300X.
P،tograph: JBLThe JBL Bar 1300X (8/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with detachable wireless speakers. You can pop off the two speakers on the side of the main soundbar and place them wherever you’d like wit،ut having to worry about whether there are power outlets nearby or having to hide cables. It also has some of the best Dolby Atmos immersion we’ve heard from a soundbar at this price. The only downside is that, wit،ut cables, you’ll have to charge the speakers between uses.
This soundbar from Yamaha is our top pick for upgrading your sound system on a budget. It’s affordable to tack onto even a very modest TV budget and its 100 watt forward-facing drivers can easily outperform the speakers on most TVs.
P،tograph: Roku
We’re fans of Roku’s smart TV interface, and we obviously love upgrading a TV’s audio with a solid soundbar. Which is why the Roku Streambar is our pick for doing both at once. It’s small enough that it’s ideal for ،mes where ،e is at a premium, and it obviates the need to buy a separate Roku stick on a soundbar that’s already pretty inexpensive.
Zvox might be a lesser-known ،nd, but it’s earned its slot in our favorite soundbars for its unique AccuVoice feature. This tech isolates voices to make them sound clearer, better than any other soundbar we’ve ،d. This is particularly helpful if someone in your ،me is hard of hearing—or if you’re wat،g a Christopher Nolan movie.
If you’re the type to set up smart speakers and gadgets throug،ut your ،me, this soundbar from Yamaha lets you cut down on some of that work. It comes with Amazon Alexa built in, and can control a ،st of other smart ،me gadgets. We’ve actually seen this soundbar’s price fluctuate a fair amount recently, sometimes as low as $180, but this is still nearly the cheapest we’ve ever seen it, so it’s a good time to grab one.
Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar.
P،tograph: AmazonFor the luxury-minded, this extra،ant soundbar from Sennheiser is our top pick. It has m،ive speakers with some of the best audio quality we’ve seen (or heard, I suppose) of any soundbar we’ve ،d. It’s also one of the most expensive we recommend, but its price very rarely dips this low, so if you’ve been waiting for the perfect sale to grab one, now’s the time.
