How to choose a 55-inch TV on Prime Day

Before you do anything else, make sure you are getting the right size of TV. Figure out what TV size to get to get for your room before making a purchase, if you aren’t sure. If you’re still nervous about getting the 55 inch TV of your dreams over a bigger TV, check out our best TV vs big TV debate and consideration article from one of our TV experts.

Once you’ve settled on the size of your TV and let any doubts about it leave your mind, it is all about getting down to what you want from the TV. Our 4K TV buying guide will cover just about every topic you may want to consider in extensive detail. If you have burning questions about HDR or refresh rate considerations, that’s the place to go. If you don’t have time, however, consider the following points before making a purchase.

Today’s operating standards: If you haven’t bought a TV in quite some time, there are some things that are more or less standard on a 2024 (or even quite some time earlier) that are worth pointing out. Manufacturers will point these out like they’re extras, but really the lack of them is like you’re missing out on something. Firstly, there should be some sort of voice integration via Alexa or Google Assistant or some other system, reducing the need to use a remote. In fact, if you get a Roku TV, you’ll even be able to convert that smartphone Prime Day deal you also picked up this year into a remote, as well. Next, expect some sort of motion rate feature to make high action scenes unblurred. Game Mode or ALLM (Auto Low-Latency Mode) are also to be expected for gaming and quick inputs.

Choose a screen type: The base standard will be LED. LED TVs aren’t bad but they aren’t extra. If you don’t know what your TV is, and it is slightly out of date, it is likely LED. If this is the case, you might want to update to an OLED or QLED TV. To sum up something incredibly complex, OLED TVs tend to have more intense black levels, contrast, and response time while QLED TVs tend to be brighter. The best QLED TVs tend to be cheaper than the best OLED TVs, so the Prime Day deals season is a great time to pick up an OLED if you weren’t able to earlier in the year. Other screen types you can expect to see are QD-OLEDs, as well as MicroLEDs and Mini-LEDs.

The 8K frontier: The next big thing in TVs just might be the best 8K TVs. For now, you don’t need to get one to get the best deals and especially not on a 55-inch TV. As TV experts have mentioned, when discussing 8K TVs, “the different between a 65-inch 4K TV and a 65-inch 8K TV is negligible, at best, to the average consumer.” So, don’t feel left out if you’re not making this sort of a switch. (Plus, there’s not too much content in the 8K arena yet.)

How we chose these 55-inch TV Prime Day deals

At start, we’re making sure we’re getting some of the best TVs, whether from this or previous years. At the same time, super budget TVs that have a considerably dropped price are still being considered. Who doesn’t want a TV at a price cheaper than some of the Prime Day tablet deals we’ve also discovered? Plus, those mid-range TVs under $1,000 have dropped even more at this time, making them worth a second look.

Next, we need to double and triple check that the TV is a good one. That means consulting our TV reviews archives, as well as checking brand and consumer sentiment. The best TV brands have proven themselves over and over again as solid choices for consumers, making consistently good products. Expect them to be represented here whenever we can find the right price.

Finally, it gets back to that price again. These deals are checked for the lowest price at the time written to the best of our ability. While the Prime Day sales event is an Amazon brand “holiday” of sorts, that doesn’t mean that it is the only game in town. There’s no embargo against having competing deals and sales. That means if a Best Buy TV deal on a 55-inch is better, for example, we’ll make sure to feature that instead.
