Get your deal on, cyber-kids!
Cyber cyber cyber!
Monday Monday Monday!
It's the first Monday after Black Friday, and most of last week's deals on TVs are gone. In their place, however, are more deals on TVs that don't require you to leave the house. Here's a few of our favorites, along with CNET's picks.
Cyber Monday deals: The absolute best deals you can find online today.
Holiday Gift Guide: CNET's full gift guide, including dozens of products priced under $25, $50 and $100.
Element 40-inch TV, $180
Store: Target
Model: Unknown
Price per square inch of screen: $0.26
Our take: Like a quintessential Black Friday deal, this one's a crazy cheap offer on a no-name brand. We have no idea whether it's any good, but (say it with me) "at this price, who cares?"
Bonus: Target has a essentially the same TV by Polaroid for the same price.
Toshiba 43-inch TV, $200
Store: Best Buy
Model: 43L511U18
Price per square inch of screen: $0.25
Our take: Another Black Friday-esque deal, this set is three inches bigger for just $20 more, and includes Chromecast built-in.
Toshiba 50-inch 4K TV, $300
Store: Best Buy
Model: 50L711U18
Price per square inch of screen: $0.28
Our take: Very similar to the last set but in a more living-room-friendly size, this is another Best Buy exclusive with Chromecast built in, and the cheapest 4K TV on the list. And from here on out, they're all 4K.
Insignia 50-inch 4K Roku TV, $350
Store: Best Buy
Model: NS-50DR620NA18
Price per square inch of screen: $0.33
Our take: The first Roku TV sighting! We're big fans of that Smart TV system--much bigger than Chromecast--and in our previous tests Insignia sets performed as well as other entry-level Rokus.
Vizio 50-inch 4K TV, $500
Model: M50-E1
Price per square inch of screen: $0.47
CNET's Pick
Our take: At the other end of the price-per-inch spectrum is this Vizio. So why did we include it? Simply because it's the best-performing LCD TV on this list, with truly excellent image quality. But stay tuned for a deal on OLED TVs, which perform even better.
Samsung 55-inch 4K TV, $500
Vizio 55-inch 4K TV, $600
Model: M55-E0
Price per square inch of screen: $0.46
CNET's Pick
Our take: Just like its 50-inch brother from two slides ago, this Vizio earns my pick because it's a great TV for a great price. Of course, it can't compete against the 55-inch OLED TV on the next slide, but you can buy two and a half of these for the price of one of those.
Note that image shows the 65-inch version we reviewed, not the 55-incher on sale now. Unfortunately, that 65 didn't get a price cut, but it's still a good deal at $1,000. Stay tuned for a sweet deals on larger Ms, however.
LG 55-inch OLED TV, $1,500
Store: Amazon, Best Buy, many others
Model: OLED55B7A
Price per square inch of screen: $1.16
CNET's Pick
Our take: This is the lowest price on the best picture quality we've ever tested, and according to LG this is the last day you'll be able to get it at this price.
Samsung 58-inch 4K TV, $600
Store: Wal-Mart
Model: UN58MU6070
Price per square inch of screen: $0.42
Our take: Fifty-eight inches is an odd duck, and our pick near this size is a 60-inch Vizio a few slides ahead still, but maybe this will suit you if you want the Samsung brand name.
Hitachi 60-inch Roku TV, $530
Store: Walmart
Model: 60R50
Price per square inch of screen: $0.26
Our take: Yes, Hitachi makes Roku TVs too, and this one's a really good deal on a nice large size. If you prioritize smarts over image quality, choose this one over the Vizio on the next page.
Vizio 60-inch 4K TV, $700
Store: Walmart
Model: E60-E3
Price per square inch of screen: $0.46
CNET's Pick
Our take: We're picking this 60-incher over the Hitachi Roku TV, because it uses local dimming, so we actually think it will perform better.
RCA 65-inch 4K TV, $580
TCL 65-inch 4K Roku TV, $650
Store: Target
Model: 65S405
Price per square inch of screen: $0.36
Our take: Yes it's $70 more than that RCA in the previous slide, but it boasts Roku's awesome operating system in the biggest size yet. The Vizio on the next slide performs better, though.
Samsung 65-inch 4K TV, $750
Store: Best Buy
Model: UN65MU6070FXZA
Price per square inch of screen: $0.42
Our take: It probably won't have as good an image as that Vizio, but it's a Samsung for the same size and the same price. So maybe you'll like it better.
LG 65-inch OLED TV, $2,300
Store: Amazon, Best Buy, many others
Model: OLED65B7A
Price per square inch of screen: $1.28
CNET's Pick
Our take: This is the last day in LG's sale, and a 65-inch OLED might not go this low again until 2018.
The most expensive TV on this list aside from that 80-inch Vizio you'll see in a few slides, the 65B7A still qualifies as a tremendous deal. Just like its 55-inch brother, this TV offers the best picture quality ever at the lowest price ever. It's still big and beautiful, and you know you want it.
Vizio 70-inch 4K TV, $1,300
Store: Dell
Model: M70-E3
Price per square inch of screen: $0.62
CNET's pick
Our take: Are you starting to detect a pattern to my picks? Actually it's kind of a tough call between this 70-incher, a member of my Editors' Choice-winning M series, and the 70-inch E from the last slide. For another $300 you get a significantly better TV, however -- and in our book that's worth paying.
Sceptre 75-inch 4K TV, $1,000
Store: Walmart
Model: U750CV-U
Price per square inch of screen: $0.42
Our take: A simply insane price on a simply gigantic TV. No, we have no idea if it's any good, so you're taking a risk at this price, but maybe the crazy price is enough to sway you. If not...
Vizio 75-inch 4K TV, $1,530
Store: Best Buy
Model: E75-E3
Price per square inch of screen: $0.64
Our take: If you want a good 75-inch TV this Cyber Monday, the price probably won't get any better than this. Unlike the last TV from Sceptre, we can confirm that this Vizio actually delivers solid image quality.
Vizio 75-inch 4K TV, $1800
Model: M75-E1
Price per square inch of screen: $0.75
CNET's pick
Our take: Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before. Here, once again, is our favorite series of non-OLED TV for 2017, in a truly massive size, for a price that's really tough to beat for this level of image quality.
Sony 75-inch 4K TV, $2,000
Store: Dell.com
Model: XBR-75X850E
Price per square inch of screen: $0.83
Our take: Sure, both of the Vizios from the previous two slides likely deliver a superior picture, but this is still a very good price on a huge Sony.
Vizio 80-inch 4K TV, $2,500
Store: Costco, Sam's Club
Model: E80-E3
Price per square inch of screen: $0.92
Our take: This price for a TV this massively gigantic is pure, gross, unadulterated insanity with a side of cray-cray. It might even be worth a club membership.
