There was a time when you need to spend at least $500 to get a 50-inch 4K TV, but that’s no longer the case as brands are getting more aggressive with their prices. You can now get one for about half that — just $248 for the 50-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV, following a $71 discount from Walmart on its original price of $319. If you think this is a great deal, you’re not alone because it’s a very popular offer, with more than 500 units of the 4K TV sold within the past 24 hours. Stocks may already be running low, so if you want to take advantage of this bargain, don’t hesitate to proceed with the purchase.

Why you should buy the 50-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV

The Vizio V-Series 4K TV is powered by Vizio’s IQ Active Processor, which not only enables 4K Ultra HD resolution, but also offers the ability to upscale all content to 4K quality to maximize the 50-inch screen. It also supports Dolby Vision Bright Mode, which will allow you to enjoy lifelike details, vivid colors, and incredible brightness. To complete the cinematic experience, the TV also comes with DTS Virtual: X, which creates immersive audio.

You’ll never run out of shows and movies to watch on the Vizio V-Series 4K TV because it features the brand’s SmartCast platform, through which you can access all of the popular streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. You’ll also get free streaming channels through WatchFree+, and you can use voice commands for navigation through the Vizio Voice Remote. The 4K TV also works with Apple’s AirPlay and Google’s Chromecast, so you can play videos from your mobile devices on the 50-inch display.

The 50-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV is currently on sale for a very affordable $248 from Walmart, for savings of $71 on its sticker price of $319. It’s not going to stay this cheap for a long time though — with more than 500 units sold over the previous 24 hours, the end of the offer is probably coming soon. If you’re already looking forward to watching your favorite content on the 50-inch Vizio V-Series 4K TV, there’s no time to hesitate with your purchase, so push through with the transaction while the discount it still online.

I found four early Black Friday TV deals worth shopping now — From $270

A Sony TV hanging on a wall.

Prime Day in October may be over, and the holiday shopping season may be right behind it, but that doesn't mean there are no deals to be found. In fact, I have discovered some incredible early Black Friday TV deals -- or at least these prices are Black Friday-worthy -- that you might want to know about. If you're in the market for a new TV to, say, stream the best Amazon Prime movies in October, or watch these amazing shows on Max, the discounts below are some of the best out there today. And I do mean some of the best out there.
TCL 50-inch class Q5 QLED 4K HDR smart Google TV -- $270, was $400

A 50-inch TV is nothing to scoff at, but one at this price is downright incredible, let alone a QLED that leverages Quantum Dot crystal clear technology. This Google TV also gives you direct access to streaming, as long as you connect it to WiFi, with no other devices necessary. But for video, you get the 4K ultra-HD resolution, at four times that of standard HD, the QLED tech with an UltraWide color gamut for more realistic depictions and motion rate 240 for smooth motion every time. It also supports HDR Pro+, Dolby Vision, and DTS Virtual: X, with AMD FreeSync support to boot. Basically, this is an awesome TV at this price point.

Samsung’s ‘Frame’ QLED TV just had its price slashed for Prime Day

If you want a TV that's as much an art piece as it is a TV, then Samsung's Frame is the way to go. Not only does it have a gorgeous picture, but it can also act like a picture frame and thereby blend into the wall so that it doesn't even look like a TV. Even better, you can get it at a substantial discount from Samsung, with some sizing offering up to $800 off, which is quite substantial.

Selling like hotcakes: This 75-inch Sony 4K TV is $500 off today

If you're considering picking up a big TV, Prime Day is the perfect time to do it, especially if you want something high-end like the Sony BRAVIA XR X90K 4K TV. While it usually costs $1,498, Walmart has discounted it to a much more accessible $998. That's a substantial $500 discount, especially for a 75-inch TV, so if you want something big for your living room with great specs, this is the TV to go for.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Sony BRAVIA XR X90K 4K TV
When it comes to image quality and fidelity, a large part of it is how bright a screen can get and how much control there is over the lighting zones. What sets the Bravia XR apart is the Full Array LED lighting, a huge amount of LEDs placed strategically behind the panel to give you a lot of brightness and give the TV more control over brightness zones. That means darker colors and better contrast, including overall better HDR than you would get with a partial array LED. It's also the perfect TV if you're a sports or action-film fan since the base 120Hz refresh rate will give you a much more realistic sense of motion when watching action-packed content. This is also the case if you're a gamer, and, in fact, the Bravia XR is made to work well with the PS5 since they're both made by the same company.
