I'm a tech critic and I'd get these Prime Day TV deals before they're gone
Navigating the sheer volume of offers during the four-day event can feel like a full-time job, but, lucky for the savvy shoppers out there, IndyBest's team of tech experts and I are hard at work sifting through the sales and separating the genuine TV deals from the duds so you don't have to. We track prices year-round, so we know a real discount when we see one.
No matter whether you're finally ready to take a leap and upgrade to the 85in 4K OLED cinema screen of your dreams or you just need a cheap new telly for the bedroom, this guide will be updated throughout the week with the very best Prime Day TV deals as they drop.
One of the highlights I've spotted from the sale event is a deal on Amazon's Fire omni 55in (was £749.99, now £459.99, Amazon.co.uk), which tech critic David Phelan selected as the best budget buy in his review of the best 4K TVs. But keep scrolling for more top picks.
This isn't our first rodeo. Our team of shopping experts have been covering Amazon Prime Day for longer than we'd care to admit. The tech team and I track TV prices year-round and know how to spot a good deal from a bad one, and we only recommend discounts on products we've tested and from brands we trust.
With more than 50 per cent off, Amazon's best-selling streaming stick appears in my review of the best streaming devices and is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to upgrade an older television to a smart TV. The 4K dongle plugs into a spare HDMI port to give you instant access to all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.
The best-in-class LG C4 has dropped to its lowest price ever in the Prime Day sale. Launched earlier this year, the 55in 4K TV uses self-lit OLED pixels to deliver perfectly dark blacks, bright highlights and rich colour reproduction. It's one of the best TVs you can buy, and an absolute steal at this price.
Whether you want to take your gaming sessions to the next level with 4K definition or to watch your favourite TV shows with rich surround sound, this 65 in flat screen Sony 4K TV is packed with features. It has a built-in game mode and speaker, Chromecast and more. Now that Amazon has slashed the price by 30 per cent, you can save a massive £600 on the TV this Prime Day.
LG's 55in OLED 4K smart TV price drop means you can save just shy of £200. Plus, right now you can bag a freebie with TV wall mounting and set up at no extra cost. The TV's AI processor chip is said to make watching the screen a more lifelike experience.
A great-value alternative to Amazon's Fire TV Stick, the Roku Express is a simple dongle that plugs into your TV's HDMI port to give you access to thousands of streaming channels, including all the major players like Netflix, Disney+, and BBC iPlayer. Roku's interface is clean and easy to navigate, making this a fantastic budget-friendly upgrade. The 4K version appeared in my round-up of the best streaming devices.
Here's a fantastic deal on a mid-range, 43in LG television, with more than 50 per cent off the original retail price. The LG Nano uses the brand's NanoCell technology for more accurate and vibrant colours than standard LED TVs and runs on LG's excellent WebOS smart platform. At under £200, it's perfect for a bedroom or smaller living room.
Need a cheap TV for the bedroom? Take a look at the 32in Fire TV from Amazon, which has £80 off in the Prime Day sale. The 720p resolution means that the 2-series doesn't have the same sharpness as more expensive sets, but it's less noticeable on the smaller display. You get built-in access to all the main streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.
This deal from TCL brings you premium QLED panel technology without a premium price tag. For less than £300, you get a 50in 4K smart TV with the rich contrast and vibrant colours usually found on more expensive sets. With this Prime Day discount, it's a huge amount of TV for very little money.
This is our best budget 4K TV, with a 'bright and effective' QLED display and 'great colour range' that impressed our tech critic, David Phelan. Vocal tracks are clear, it has an easy-to-use operating system, and it's competitively priced compared to other 4K models. The price of this Amazon Fire model regularly fluctuates, so it's worth checking back on Prime Day to see if it drops even further.
The Samsung neo QLED TV was named the best QLED 4K TV in David Phelan's round-up, so I'm pleased to see reductions across a similar range from the brand ahead of Prime Day. If you mainly play games on your TV, it comes with a handy gaming hub. This means you don't have to tackle a tangle of wires to connect your Xbox console, with it instead being powered by cloud technology.
Benefitting from TCL's mini-LED technology, this ultra-low reflection screen is ideal if you happen to experience glare or sunlight streaming in through your windows, no matter the time of day or weather. If you happen to be on the lookout for a gaming TV, there's a Game Master mode that could elevate your entire gaming experience.
This humble TV takes up the final spot in our guide to the best 4K TVs. It was already our pick for the best budget small-screen 4K TV, and now it's even cheaper, and much cheaper than you'll find it at any other retailer.
Though I think there are better options for more general streaming, if you're a Prime Video subscriber, this is the best way to watch movies and TV. This cube means Amazon TV shows can be streamed in 4K HDR, making for laughably good video and sound quality.
Sonos TV soundbars are notoriously expensive, but this model, our pick for the best budget soundbar, is a little more reasonable. It has 20 per cent off for Amazon Prime Day, saving you £40 on a soundbar we love. Senior tech critic Alex Lee found that 'The ray boosted the clarity of people's speech in films with poor sound mixing, making it easier to understand conversations. This was far better than the speech clarity on our TV's speakers'.
There's an impressive 55 per cent off the Aurzen boom 3 smart projector, which comes equipped with speakers and DoIby 3D audio, 1080p resolution, 4K decoding and built-in streaming apps, including Netflix and Prime Video. So you'll be able to enjoy cinema-quality movie nights at home. It even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and comes with a one-year replacement, three-year repair service and lifetime tech support.

BMW secretly followed, filmed and then sacked worker over injury claim
A disabled BMW worker was discriminated against and unfairly dismissed after managers authorised covert surveillance, believing he was exaggerating his back pain, a tribunal has found. Mohamed Kerita, who worked in the firm's manufacturing factory, had suffered with back pain from 2017, the Reading tribunal heard. In March 2023, a physiotherapist emailed absence manager Richard Darvill to say Mr Kerita had been signed off work by his GP for two months. The physiotherapist stated he could not explain the level of pain Mr Kerita was experiencing and why he remained unfit for work. Following this, Mr Darvill and HR manager Akhil Patel instructed security firm G4S to carry out surveillance of Mr Kerita, a move Employment Judge Hawksworth described as a "highly unusual step". A G4S operative filmed Mr Kerita from behind, walking around three miles in about an hour and a half, despite the claimant never having stated he could not walk. In a report, they said that there was 'no indication whatsoever that the claimant had lower back, leg or shoulder pain or was experiencing sickness or dizziness', despite not filming Mr Kerita's face. Mr Darvill later approached a senior manager to get more funding for further surveillance to ensure a 'robust outcome', the tribunal heard. In May 2023, Mr Kerita was dismissed for gross misconduct, including a fraudulent claim of company sick pay and unacceptable levels of absence. During a disciplinary meeting, he had said that he was in the wrong area and needed light duties but his managers told him there were none and sent him home, the tribunal heard. The tribunal found that Mr Kerita's back pain met the definition of a disability under the Equality Act 2010. Judge Hawksworth said it could be inferred that managers 'had a level of distrust or hostility towards associates with back conditions, and were unwilling to take their word for it that they had a back problem, or were quick to conclude that a person with a back condition was not being honest about their symptoms'. The judge added: 'We have found that the respondent made assumptions about what the claimant had told them about his ability to walk and about the G4S surveillance film.' Mr Kerita's claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments, disability discrimination and unfair dismissal succeeded.

Man Utd want to host 2035 Women's World Cup final
Manchester United want to host the 2035 Women's World Cup final in their new 100,000-seater club announced plans to build the biggest stadium in the UK - an "iconic" new £2bn ground close to Old Trafford - in they still hope to realise co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's desire for a 'new' Old Trafford to be completed within five to six years - despite widespread doubts outside the club over the likelihood of hitting that 2035 Women's World Cup is expected to be held across the four nations of the United Kingdom, which is the sole Football Association is working on a bid to present to football's world governing body Fifa by the end of the year, setting out its vision for the sources say they anticipate the new stadium being open a long time before 2035 and believe Ratcliffe's stated timescale from his March announcement is still they also acknowledge the potential for delays around such a complex plan. The club's ambition was announced as Lord Coe was named as Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation for the Old Trafford Regeneration project, a move which Manchester United have was previously the chair of the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force set up by Ratcliffe last year to examine the feasibility of a new 100,000-capacity stadium for United, the first drawings for which were unveiled in London almost four months has also chaired London's successful 2012 Olympic and Paralympic chief executive Omar Berrada said: "The continuity it brings for the wider project will be a huge positive. "In addition, Lord Coe's proven leadership and track record in delivering transformational projects will be invaluable as we work together to turn our collective vision into reality." Challenges facing 2030 completion date Industry and football experts outside Old Trafford have identified numerous reasons why completion in 2030 may be unlikely, with one saying privately if the spades are in the ground within two years, United will have done very discussions over how to fund the £2bn project have begun, although this is being done at the same time as the club are in negotiations over the refinancing of significant chunks of United's current those specific loans are not set to expire until 2027, informed sources say they need to be refinanced a year before that. In their latest financial statement in June, United confirmed £327.9m of its 'senior secured notes' and £180m of its revolving credit facility is set to mature on 25 June is thought highly unlikely United will look to load its stadium debt on to that sum at a time when global interest rates are and co-owners the Glazer family have the option of putting in the sums themselves, or reducing their stake in the club through a share sale, but neither of these options are felt to be realistic think the most likely option is having a subsidiary company own the stadium, which could bring in others feel the economics of building a 100,000-capacity stadium from scratch requires the men's first team to be a far more attractive proposition than they are now because a significant number of corporate tickets will have to be sold to make it financially viable.A secondary complication is whether there is a possibility of being able to buy nearby land currently being used for the Freight Liner is still time to tone down some of the more expensive elements of the vision Ratcliffe unveiled in chief operating officer Collette Roche will lead the club's drive on the project, with fan focus groups set to discuss key aspects, including seating and pricing options, in a series of meetings next is not known yet when planning permission will be submitted, although issues such as transport expansion will be dealt with at local government level, with United's input."This is about so much more than just a stadium," said Lord Coe."It's about listening to and working with residents to create a vibrant, inclusive district, with high quality housing, green spaces, world class leisure and education facilities, and improved transport links."Twenty years on from securing the Olympic and Paralympic Games for this country, I'm ready to help deliver a vision of equal scale and ambition. I can't wait to get started."
