Entertainment Best Labor Day TV deals 2022 LIVE – big savings on 4K, OLED, QLED and 8K TVs

Speaking of Samsung, the South Korean manufacturer is running its own Labor Day sale right now. There are some huge savings of up to $2,000 on 4K, 8K and QLED TVs.

Those 8K TVs are interesting ones as, while they have the largest discounts, they’re perhaps the least useful to buy today for most of us. The simple fact is that a lot of TV content is not naturally designed for those high-resolution displays just yet. So, while existing HD and 4K video can be upscaled to a higher resolution, it won’t look as good as bespoke content filmed specifically for it.

Nevertheless, if you want to get ahead of the curve and futureproof yourself, there are some of the biggest savings we’ve seen on 8K TVs at Samsung

We’ve gone for big TVs and small TVs, so how about something in the middle? 

That’s where this Samsung 55-inch 4K Smart TV comes in. It’s a return to the lowest price we’ve seen for a rich 4K Crystal display that delivers a sharp, clear and colorful image at a respectable price. Brightness and contrast are inferior to the more expensive QLED and OLED sets, but for the cost, you get a solid display for your everyday viewing that’s also superior to the budget TVs from TCL and Hisense. Plus, it comes with all the important smart features and access to streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, and more.

Goliath meet David. We’ve shared massive TVs up to 75 inches so far, but here’s a much smaller option for those who only need a basic set at a ridiculously low price.

This Insignia F20 Series is about the most entry-level TV you can find today. It only supports HD resolutions but that’s fine for your general viewing. Plus, you get access to all the major streaming apps at the touch of a button. Of course, it’s not going to win any awards when it comes to picture quality, but it does the job.

Jeez, TechRadar, will you just shut up about the LG C2 OLED for, like, five minutes?

…

Absolutely not.

Like Jake Peralta in the sewers bringing up the Ninja Turtles, it’s a TV sales event, so we’re gonsta talk about the LG C2 OLED. It’s right there at the top of our best TV guide, so why would we not want to tell you when it’s available to buy for its cheapest ever price? Well, it is, right now in the Labor Day sales.

The all-important 48-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch displays are all reduced at Amazon, so you can pick the perfect size to suit your space. Get this TV for its top-of-the-line image quality that brings rich colours and vivid lighting to all of your favorite shows and movies. We also found it offers a smooth PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming experience in our testing, thanks to HDMI 2.1 and 4K 120Hz support.

If you don’t want that 70-inch behemoth below then how about a smaller but still reasonably sized display – that’s also at an incredible bargain price. 

If I had a budget of around $300 to spend on a good-size 4K TV then this Hisense 50-inch A6 Series 4K UHD Smart TV. It’s a great display from a manufacturer that has established itself over the last few years with a range of affordable and capable TVs. 

In our testing, we found out exactly that, too. Naturally, there are shortcomings given the lower price. Mostly this was the restricted contrast that means bright scenes struggle to shine while darks aren’t able to hit the rich blacks we’d like to see. Still, its 4K picture is detailed and colorful – and there’s a lot of screen for the cash here.
