Memorial Day TV sales just get better every year. And when you can save hundreds on some of the best TVs out there right before the summer, you really don't have to wait for the main sale events toward the end of the year. That's because most of the big brands start launching their new models at this time of year, meaning stores want to start making room by discounting older TVs, even if they're less than a year old and still stunning pieces of tech. 

Memorial Day itself is this Monday, May 29, but our favorite TV deal specialists all have major sales underway right now and we wouldn't expect these deals to get any cheaper on the day itself. We'd be surprised if some of them don't sell out though, so if you're in the market for a great TV deal on some of the best 4K TVs out there, now is the time to strike.

We've also been busy covering the latest Memorial Day mattress sales, along with the wider world of Memorial Day sales if you're looking to treat yourself today.

If you'd like to browse the latest offers yourself, here's a handy selection of links to Memorial Day TV sale pages at some of the best stores. Below that you'll find some of our favorite highlights on specific deals. Stay tuned as we'll keep adding fresh picks as we find them.

The S95B is our top pick for the best 4K TV you can buy right now. The display was Samsung's first 4K OLED TV when it hit stores in 2022, and one of the first to feature quantum dots to produce a wider range of colors. Down to $1,700, this deal matches the price it dropped to last Memorial Day.

#2 - Roku Plus Series 65-inch QLED TV - $650 $600

The flagship model in Roku's first lineup of in-house TVs, the Roku Plus Series 4K TV offers solid performance for a midrange QLED. Though we think its original MSRP of $800 was overpriced, this $600 sale price is a great deal.

#3 Amazon Fire TV Omni 75-inch QLED TV - $1,100 $900

A 75-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED would usually cost $1,100, but right now you can save $200 in the first deal we've seen for it yet. A huge step up from the standard Omni TV, we like this model for its convenient set of Alexa features. Its image quality can be a bit lackluster at full price, but for only $900, this is a good deal for the best Amazon smart TV yet.

It also features a uniformly thin design which makes it our top pick for wall mounting in our guide to the best 4K TVs. Down to $1,500, this is a rare chance to save on a smaller, but beautiful OLED.

Despite its low price, this display offers impressive performance with exceptional brightness, color, and local dimming. Currently down to $750, this is a solid deal.

#6 - Samsung S95C 65-inch 4K TV - $3,300 $3,200

A $100 discount may not seem like a lot for a TV that's over $3,000, but this is one of the first discounts we've seen for our best gaming 4K TV pick. The Samsung S95C is one of the brightest OLED TVs there is and one of the first to officially support a 144Hz refresh rate for high-end PC gaming. It also allows you to stream games through Xbox Game Pass.

Memorial Day TV sale FAQs

When is Memorial Day 2023?

Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 29, this year. That being said, there's no need to wait until then as all the stores have already kicked off their TV sales.  

Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a TV?

Memorial Day offers solid deals on TVs but the discounts are rarely as big as those you'll find on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

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 we 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 is expected to kick off this summer, 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 often 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 4K TVs with solid performance, including budget picks that still manage to offer 4K, HDR, and plenty of apps.
