You Still Have a Week Left to Score a Free 55-Inch Sony TV
Memorial Day sales have come and gone, but there's still one deal that will be live for another few days. It's a remarkable buy-one-get-one-free offer you can get at both Sony and Amazon. Purchase one high-end OLED TV, and Sony will throw in a second 55-inch or 50-inch TV for nothing. If you pick up the stunning 65-inch Sony Bravia 8 II OLED for $3,998, you'll also get a Sony 55-inch X77L Series 4K TV with the purchase. That's a $590 value included free, so you can upgrade both your living room and bedroom setup on a budget. If the 65-inch model is a little too large for you, you can also grab the 55-inch Bravia 8 II OLED for $3,498, which then comes with a 50-inch X77L Series. This offer has a set expiration date of June 8, so you've still got a little time to take advantage of these savings. Don't wait too long, as it could still sell out at any point. If you like the idea of getting a free TV for the bedroom or elsewhere, now's the time to act. No matter which size you choose, your new Sony Bravia 8 II will sport plenty of headline features, including a Quantum Dot panel with accurate color reproduction as well as Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Imax Enhanced support. The Sony Bravia 8 II is a new flagship OLED. David Katzmaier/CNET Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The Bravia is powered by Google TV and supports wireless streaming of content from other devices via both Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. Other features worth noting include what Sony calls the XR Processor, technology that uses artificial intelligence to monitor on-screen content and enhance it in real time. The free X77L TV comes with support for 4K, Dolby Atmos audio and more, while not quite hitting the same high notes as the more capable Bravia 8 II. And yes, this deal is absolutely real, as you can see in our screeshot below. Sony Why this deal matters Putting a huge new TV in your living room is always a great way to upgrade your home entertainment experience, but what about the other rooms? Getting a free TV thrown in with your order means you can finally ditch that old bedroom TV for something a little more befitting today's must-binge shows. But if this isn't the right offer for you, check out other Memorial Day TV deals still available. When will this deal expire? According to Sony, this offer is available now through June 8. Amazon gives a more precise time, saying in its terms that this offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. PT on June 8 of this year, which gives you a little time to decide if this is the right offer for you.

Memorial Day Sale: Act Fast to Score Over $1,600 Off a 77-Inch LG G4 OLED TV
There are tons of excellent TVs on sale for Memorial Day, and if you're looking to go big, then we have an offer you won't want to miss. LG's G4 Series OLED TVs feature some of the best picture quality out there at the moment, which means they don't come cheap. However, right now you can grab a massive 77-inch model at a serious discount during Amazon's Memorial Day sale. The online retailer has the 77-inch G4 OLED on sale for just $2,997. That's the lowest price we've seen and a savings of more than $1,600. If you need a smaller size, Best Buy also has several versions on sale. Just note that we don't expect a deal this good to stick around for long after Memorial Day, so we recommend getting your order in today if you don't want to miss out. LG 77-inch G4 Series OLED 4K TV: $2,997 (save $1,603) See at Amazon Aside from the unbeatable OLED display, the LG G4 features Dolby Vision alongside Brightness Booster Max, enabling images to be not only brighter but also more vibrant in every detail. The flat-screen design of the 77-inch model blends well in a living room while also transforming into artwork when not in use. LG's A11 AI processor pushes everything from sound and picture quality to general navigation to the next level. It even has the option to split the screen into four views to watch multiple things at once. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. In his review, CNET TV expert David Katzmaier wrote about comparisons of the newer model: "In 2023, we awarded the G3 the title of the best TV for picture quality, and this year's version, the G4, is even better. In our side-by-side comparisons, it beat its predecessor in brightness and overall image quality with the kind of jaw-dropping images you can only get from a topflight OLED TV." The only cons noted were how expensive the TV is and the glossy screen catching reflections in bright rooms. This Memorial Day discount helps somewhat with one of these issues. It's also worth keeping mind that the brand-new G5 Series just hit shelves, but costs around $1,500 more than this deal, making the 2024 model a much better value. Considering LG is one of the best TV brands — if not the best — on the market, as well as the $1,600-plus discount that's been applied, it's hard not to recommend this TV for those who have the budget and want the best of the best. It's never been cheaper. If you want an OLED screen that sports an incredible image, strong black levels as well as superior contrast and off-angle viewing with every notable feature you've come to expect in a modern TV, then you can't go wrong. Its quality speaks for itself. If this high-end LG TV isn't quite what you're looking for, you'll find tons of other bargains in our roundup of the best Memorial Day TV deals.
