The leaves are falling and so are the prices on some of our favorite TVs. The TCL 6-Series Roku TV -- ranked as the best TV for the money overall -- has dropped back down to the best pricing of the year. The 65-inch size has the biggest price reduction right now, but the other two sizes are also on sale.

The TCL 6-Series features excellent picture quality thanks to mini-LED technology and full-array local dimming. Gamers will appreciate the THX mode that combines high contrast with low input lag for smooth gameplay. Though this TV technically debuted in 2020, the 6-Series is still considered a current model for 2021.

This TCL also comes with Roku, CNET's favorite TV operating system. One of the main reasons we like Roku is because it features a content-agnostic platform that doesn't push any one media streaming service provider, like Amazon Prime Video or Apple, over another. It also offers the most streaming app options, the simplest streaming platform interface and the best search. Note that TCL also released a version of the 6-Series with Google TV.
