Memorial Day is just around the corner, and several retailers are already selling a bunch of TVs from different brands at considerable discounts, and we expect even better deals over the holiday weekend.
Spring is usually when TV manufacturers start launching their newest display models, so there are a few brand-new 2022 TVs already on sale. New stock also means big discounts on older inventory, so if you don’t mind grabbing one of last year’s models, you can find many great deals on 2021 TVs.
Below, we’ve compiled the best early TV deals you can get in the lead up to Memorial Day 2022. We’ll update this page with new TV sales as they’re revealed.
The best Memorial Day TV sales
Hisene’s new 2022 U6G model is the company’s latest budget-friendly display with advanced features usually reserved for more expensive models from the competition. The set is on sale for $550, which is an excellent price for a TV with local dimming and quantum dots.
This 75-inch TV is an excellent choice if you want an extra-large set without breaking the bank or losing out on local dimming and quantum dots. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this model. That said, the 75-inch set uses an IPS panel, so contrast won’t be as deep as the 65-inch version.
Samsung’s brand-new OLED TV is one of the first OLEDs to use quantum dot technology for even better color performance. The high-end display is already $200 off its full price.
This Hisense TV delivers entry-level picture performance but it has solid smart TV capabilities and an extra-large screen for a budget-friendly price. This $50 discount isn’t huge, but it’s still a solid deal for anyone who wants a big screen for less.
TCL’s 55-inch 5 Series
4K
Roku TV delivers an impressive balance between image performance, smart connectivity, screen size, and cost. This is the best price we’ve seen on this display since last year.

Though the end of the year remains the best time to snag the latest TVs for a low price, Memorial Day does coincide nicely with the release window for new TV models. Spring is when manufacturers launch their latest displays, so you can often find older stock at a solid discount.
As a general rule of thumb, one-year-old TV models tend to be very similar to the new sets they’re being replaced by, so I generally recommend saving some money by snagging an older display if it’s on sale for a good price.
However, buyers should keep in mind that Amazon Prime Day 2022 is coming up soon, and it’s possible we could see even better TV deals then.

How to shop for a TV
Finding the best TV for your needs can be tricky. Prices vary depending on the features and size you want. On the low-end, you can find some small HDTVs for as little as $100. On the other hand, flagship 4K models in bigger screen sizes can cost $1,500 or more.
If you prioritize high-end picture quality for the best movie-watching experience, you’ll want to opt for a 4K TV with at least a 65-inch screen. The best 4K TVs use an OLED panel, or an advanced LED screen (often branded as QLED) with features like local dimming and quantum dots. These technologies enable the highest contrast and deepest black levels for a gorgeous high dynamic range (HDR) image.
On the other hand, buyers who just want a simple smart TV for casual viewing will likely be satisfied with a smaller display that uses a standard, budget-friendly LED screen. Though picture quality won’t be as impressive as pricier models, there are plenty of cheap LED TVs with solid performance, including budget picks that still manage to offer 4K, HDR, and plenty of apps.
