Why You Should Buy the 50-inch Amazon 4 Series 4K TV

Perhaps somewhat expected, Amazon did start building its own TVs, and one of the most significant changes between its TVs and other brands, is that it includes Amazon’s own Fire TV streaming platform built-in, complete with Alexa support. That means you can use both your Fire TV remote and Alexa to search for content, control playback, and interact with smart home devices connected through Alexa. You can also check the weather, sports scores, and much more. Think of the TV as more of an entertainment and smart information hub, as opposed to just a panel you can watch shows and movies on.

Speaking of entertainment, it’s a brilliant 4K ultra-HD panel with support for HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus standards. You get a clearer, more vibrant picture that’s  better tailored to the high resolution panel. There are three HDMI inputs, as well as HDMI eARC for audio gear, so you can connect media players, game consoles, and beyond. If you want to know a little more information about these features, you can always take a look at our informative 4K TV buying guide, which also explains what features and functionality you should be looking for when buying a new TV. This Amazon set matches most of the requirements in that guide, by the way.

This particular model also comes with four months of Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon’s cloud music service, which adds a bit extra on top of the discount. Yes, you can use both Alexa and your Fire TV to listen to music through that service.

Normally $450, this 50-inch Amazon 4 Series 4K TV is yours for $310 today at Best Buy. You’re saving $140 on an already well-priced TV that will be suitable for a home theater upgrade, extra TV, or wherever you feel is best to install it.

Don’t miss your chance to get a 50-inch TV for $300 today
The onn. 70-inch 4K Roku TV hangs on the wall as part of a home theater arrangement.

It's not a secret that consumers aim for larger TVs every year, and given that so much content has started to revolve around higher resolutions, we can understand why. Of course, the issue is that large 4k TVs tend to be expensive, so finding TV deals for large screens can be difficult, and that's why we like Onn.'s TVs in general. Onn is a brand mainly targeted toward budget offerings, so their 50-inch TV is already well priced at $238, a staggeringly low price for a 50-inch 4k TV.

Luckily, you can grab it even cheaper at Walmart, where they offer it for just $198. That's a $40 discount and brings this reasonably great and large TV in the sub-$200 range, and it even comes with a great smart TV platform, Roku, so you don't have to spend extra money on a streaming stick for a better experience. While there certainly are a couple of compromises regarding features to keep the price so low, they aren't deal-breaking, and it's well worth picking up if you don't mind a straightforward TV experience.

You can buy a 65-inch QLED 4K TV for under $500 right now
vizio 65 inch m series p quantum 4k tv amazon deal 55 2 768x768

Ten years ago, 4K was all the rage. These days, every TV on the market is 4K. The next step up is QLED, and that technology is quickly becoming cheaper too. Of course, awesome 4K TV deals help, like this price cut at Walmart that brings the 65-inch Vizio M6 down to $498 from its usual $678. If you want a large QLED TV from a respected brand, this is your chance to get one for cheap. Don't let this deal pass you by.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Vizio M6 QLED 4K TV
If you're not familiar with Vizio smart TVs and soundbars, the M-Series is its mid-tier offering which still manages to hit relatively budget-oriented pricing by using cheap tech smartly. For example, if you aren't familiar with QLED vs. OLED, where QLED shines is being able to light each individual pixel very brightly, allowing it to recreate colors better. On the other hand, OLED TVs can switch their pixels off completely, letting you get deeper blacks, which helps with the overall contrast. While both pieces of tech have their own advantages, and while OLED might come out slightly on top for image reproduction, QLED TVs are much cheaper and offer a close enough experience that you likely won't notice unless you have the two different panels side by side.

Why you should buy the 50-inch TCL 5-Series QLED 4K TV
In the ongoing pixel war, QLED and OLED technologies rank pretty closely. QLED TVs — such as the 50-inch TCL 5-Series QLED 4K TV that we are talking about today — are favored for their brightness and superior cost-to-lifespan ratios. The best OLED TVs, however, are praised for their ability to produce rich darks, having great response time stats, and still producing watchable images at a pretty intense 160-degree viewing angle. When comparing QLED vs OLED TVs it was difficult to choose a winner as we faced a light vs dark, ying-yang sort of situation. Ultimately, QLEDs were considered the better all-rounder TVS while OLEDs were praised for excelling in situations where you can control the light in your room very well.
