The best TV deals during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event

Black Friday may only be weeks away but Amazon is getting in on the best TV deals action early with its Prime Big Deal Days event.

It’s the retail giant’s third deals event of the year following the Amazon Spring Sale in March and Amazon Prime Day in July and runs from midnight on Monday, 9 October until midnight on Wednesday, 11 October.

Despite a new name – last year’s equivalent event was called the Prime Early Access Sale – Prime Big Deal Days are business as usual regarding discounts and offers on televisions. Prices have been slashed on a wide range of TVs from various manufacturers, meaning that whatever your budget and needs, there should be a deal for you. 

We’ve been sifting through the best TV deals available during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days and below you’ll find a list of our favourites. It’s important to note that many of these deals require you to be a paid-up Amazon Prime member. A monthly membership to Prime typically costs £8.99, while an annual subscription will set you back £95. However, if you’re new to the service, you can sign up for a 30-day trial for free to take advantage of the discounts on offer.

Prime membership comes with various other benefits, including unlimited free premium delivery on millions of products, access to Prime Video and Amazon Music and a handful of playable titles via the Amazon Luna video game streaming service.

Now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way, let’s take a look at the best TV deals Amazon currently has to offer.

The best TV deals during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

1. 55in LG B3 (was £1,196; now £1,100)

The B3 may be LG’s entry-level OLED but is kitted out with plenty of bells and whistles. It’s a particularly good choice for gamers thanks to 4K@120Hz support across its four HDMI 2.1 ports but an extensive range of streaming services and apps make it an equally appealing option for TV and film lovers.

2. 50in Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED (was £650; now £400)

We awarded the Omni QLED five stars upon review, praising its picture accuracy, features and competitive price. The 50in model and above all use Mini LED panels with local dimming – something you rarely see at this price point and that helps elevate it above most of its similarly priced rivals.

3. 50in Samsung CU7110 (was £429; now £379)

Samsung doesn’t market its entry-level 4K TVs as hard as its more premium options but that doesn’t mean you should discount the CU7110. Its Crystal Processor 4K helps deliver vivid colours, there’s Adaptive Sound and an in-built gaming hub, and Samsung’s Tizen OS is one of the best smart platforms around.

4. 65in Sony A80L (was £2,199; now £1,999)

Another Expert Reviews award-winner, the Sony A80L is an OLED that delivers great picture and audio quality in a stylish package. Peerless processing, next-gen gaming support, Acoustic Surface Audio and a stand that can be positioned in three ways make this one of the best TVs available during Amazon’s latest sales event.

5. 55in TCL C741K (was £649; now £549)

Part of the same series as our favourite affordable gaming TV, the TCL C745, the C741 is a supremely well-specced gaming television. It supports variable refresh rates up to 144Hz, features TCL’s Game Master Pro, and uses quantum dots and full-array local dimming to deliver wonderful picture quality for the money.

6. 22in RCA RB22HT5 (was £120; now £102)

This TV from RCA is minuscule by modern television standards but size isn’t everything and small sets have their uses. Its compact frame and light weight means you can move it from room to room if necessary and enjoy 1080p content in any room in your house.

6. 50in Philips PUS8507/12 (was £469; now £429)

Ambilight may divide opinion but we’re big fans of it and the PUS8507/12 – also known as “The One” – comes with it built into three sides of its panel. The LED lighting adds real immersion to your viewing experience and can also help alleviate eye strain when watching TV in dark rooms.

7. 50in Sharp EQ3 (was £500; now £400)

We described the Sharp EQ3 as “feature-packed and affordable” in our review of it and were particularly impressed by its SDR picture quality and Harman Kardon sound system. It’s also one of the better-looking TVs available for under £500 and runs the popular and easily navigated Android TV OS.

8. 65in Panasonic MX610B (was £579; now £500)

You’re getting a lot of bang for your buck with this Linux-powered TV. Size aside, there’s support for numerous streaming apps, Dolby Vision audio and voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. There’s a Game mode too, but the MX610B’s refresh rate is only 60Hz so sadly you won’t be able to play games in 4K@120Hz.

9. 32in Toshiba WK3C (was £180; now £142)

This Amazon exclusive is a regular fixture on this roundup during deals events and is a great option for those looking for a small TV for their kitchen or bedroom. It’s limited to 720p resolution but has Alexa built-in, supports a variety of popular streaming services and features audio enhancement courtesy of DTS Virtual:X support.

10. 55in Hisense E77K (was £479; now £429)

There was once a time when you’d be paying close to £1,000 for a 55in QLED TV but technology has advanced to the point where you can now pick one up for under £500. The E7K doesn’t just have a quantum dot filter on its side, however, there’s also Dolby Vision and Atmos support, support for VRR when gaming, and handy “Share to TV” functionality.

11. 55in TCL CF630K (was £429; now £389)

Another Fire TV-powered option, the 55in CF630K has fallen to its lowest price since Black Friday last year. As well as a quantum dot panel, it comes equipped with Alexa built-in, support for all the major HDR formats, and an Auto Low-Latency Mode for gaming. 

12. 55in Amazon Fire TV 4-Series (was £550; now £380) 

Like its cheaper sibling the 2-Series, the Amazon 4-Series offers access to a huge range of content via the Fire TV OS but has the big advantage of a 4K resolution panel meaning its images are significantly more detailed and nuanced. The Omni QLED is a superior choice owing to its Mini LED backlight but the 4-Series is most accessible for those on a budget.
