As Amazon Prime Day draws closer, other outlets, like Best Buy, are throwing competitive deals out there so Amazon won’t hog the spotlight. Right now, Best Buy is offering a TCL 55-inch 4K TV for only $230, $220 less than its normal $450 price point. It’s a steal for anyone who wants a decently large quality QLED 4K smart TV and has been waiting for a significant price drop. This deal is part of Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale, which runs through July 17, so you don’t have long to get in on the savings.
This TCL Q5 Series TV is a solid budget buy at this price, confirmed by the fact that the older TCL 4 Series ranks among our best budget TVs. This Q5 is even better, with a respectable 4K resolution and a special motion rate technology to handle video playback at higher refresh rates. TCL has embraced Google TV’s smart OS for this model, giving you easy access to streaming apps and Google Assistant.

While the TV is no gaming monitor, it was made with gamers in mind. It has HDR capabilities that work in conjunction with current generation consoles, producing crisper, more accurate colors and graphics. You’ll also find that it has a gaming mode for reducing latency and lag during gaming sessions. Thanks to its three HDMI ports at the back, you can easily mount the TV in a living room and it can serve regular TV and gaming purposes competently. All of these, combined with this make it a good buy despite the many other attractive Prime Day TV deals we’ve discovered.
