Televisions are one of the most ubiquitous pieces of technology in our homes. So, when Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale arrives, I do everything within my power to bring you the best TV deals available.
A typical household upgrades its television once every five to seven years. That’s a long lifespan in tech terms, so it’s important to buy smart, both in terms of ensuring your new TV can connect to the internet and run apps, and securing the most bang for your buck.
Deals events like Amazon Prime Day are one of the best times to purchase a new telly. This year, Prime Day runs from 8 July to 11 July, and I’m expecting great offers on sets from a huge range of brands. That should mean discounts on TVs for every budget, size requirement or preferred operating system.
This page will focus on Prime Day TV bargains on options we’ve tested and reviewed, so I can give you a clear idea of how a TV performs, rather than reel off a list of specs. But I’ll also be keeping an eye out for all-time low prices on popular options we’ve not looked at first-hand.
You’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of most Prime Day deals. This typically costs £9/mth or £95 annually, but if you’ve not been a member for at least 12 months, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
TVs aren’t the only things going on sale during Prime Day; Amazon has deals on nearly every product category imaginable. You can find the pick of the bunch over on our Prime Day deals hub, or head to our live blogs covering the best deals on coffee machines, laptops and smartphones if you’re after something more specific.
I’ll also be peppering this page with deals on TV-adjacent tech, such as soundbars and projectors, and even throw in a few offers on headphones and speakers too if the TV well is running dry.
Happy shopping!
The best Prime Day TV deals – LIVE
7 July | 01.05pm – A sound(bar) investment
Still nothing in the TV set department, but limited-time offers on the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar and Fire TV Soundbar Plus have caught my eye.
I reviewed the former myself, giving it a three-star rating and describing it as an “easy-to-use and affordable” option for owners of cheap TVs. That was at its launch price of £120; you can currently pick one up for an all-time low price of £90.
Steve May was a lot more positive about the Plus model, saying, “For the money, I reckon the Fire TV Soundbar Plus is a bit of a steal if you can’t accommodate a separate subwoofer and rear speakers.” At that time, the money was £250. Ahead of Prime Day, it’s going for just £175, an appealing price for a 3.1-channel soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos.
Our article Dolby Atmos vs DTS:X will tell you everything you need to know about Atmos, which is becoming an increasingly common inclusion on both soundbars and TVs.
7 July | 11:42am – Early offers on remotes and batteries
Many TVs ship with solar remotes these days, but if you’re using an older zapper, it’s wise to have a stash of batteries at home. Packs of 36 Duracell Plus AA batteries are down to £24 from their RRP of £30, while the AAA equivalent is available for the same price.
If you’ve lost your remote or think your current one is on its way out, you may be interested in these best-ever prices on universal remotes made for LG and Samsung televisions. A two-pack of the LG variant costs £10 (down from £14), while a pair of zappers designed for Samsung TVs will set you back £11, which is £6 cheaper than their usual price.
I’d hoped to be able to bring you something more exciting before Prime Day officially kicks off, but I can only report on what’s out there.
7 July | 10:30am – All quiet on the TV front
Despite there being some enticing early offers on products in several other categories, I’ve scoured Amazon this morning and not found anything even vaguely resembling a TV deal.
The closest I’ve come is small discounts on 100in and 120in projector screens from a brand called Skerell. It’s not a name I’m familiar with, but the screens have overwhelmingly positive feedback on Amazon, and the screens are competitively priced.
The 100in screen is available for £51 down from its usual price of £60, while the 120in variant has been reduced from £70 to £60. If you read our Projectors vs TVs comparison piece and decided a projector was the way to go, but are yet to buy a screen to project onto, these low-cost options are worth considering.
