Want more deals? Visit CNN Underscored’sGuide to Memorial Dayfor wall-to-wall coverage of the best discounts to be found during the holiday weekend.
The 2024 Memorial Day deals are already starting to roll in, and we’ve already gathered quite a few. You can find discounts on the best TVs we tested, as well as a variety of new models that only recently hit the market and some huge TVs we simply struggle to believe are seeing such big discounts. Since these deals are landing ahead of Memorial Day, you can expect to see even more pop up until Monday rolls around.
Best Buy
Best Buy is home to a wide variety of TVs, and as a big box store, it’s never one to miss out on a large savings event like Memorial Day sales. So it should come as no surprise that it has some excellent TV deals to offer. The retailer provides shipping and in-store pickup options, and you can get installation with your purchase if you need help managing an especially large TV.
Hisense has updated one of our favorite budget TVs. The Hisense U6 provides a lot for the money. It features Mini-LED backlighting with full-array local dimming for both high brightness and contrast. You’ll get Dolby Vision support as well, and it runs on the convenient Google TV platform. All that in a 65-inch TV that’s just $600 with this deal is one great bargain.

LG’s gorgeous C3 OLED is a brilliant option for home theater enthusiasts. It upgrades the C2 that we found an excellent choice for its rich colors, and outstanding contrast. The OLED panel also has advantages in gaming where it’s low pixel response time and high refresh rate smooth out game visuals.
Hisense has a monster on its hands with the UX. This mammoth of a TV brings a lot to the plate, featuring over 5,000 local dimming zones and a peak brightness of 2,500 nits. This is one for those who want their TV to literally dazzle them.
Walmart
Just like Best Buy, Walmart is always keen to participate in big sales events. It has plenty of TVs to choose from when these events roll around, and its nationwide presence will often mean you can pop over to a nearby store and have the TV you ordered that same day if you don’t feel like having the product shipped to you.
Vizio has a lot of affordable TVs on its hands, and it’s always a joy to see them become even more affordable. The Vizio VQP55 Quantum Pro puts a lot of more advanced TV tech into a budget package. It has a fast refresh rate for gamers, a QLED panel to offer up rich colors, and it features local dimming to enhance the contrast of the picture. All this in a $650 TV is great to see.
The Hisense U6K has been our favorite budget TV for some time. While there are new models, they only serve to drive the price of this competent model even further. At less than $500, it’s a delight to see a 65-inch TV that can provide Mini LEDs with local dimming for strong contrast and quantum dots for a wide color gamut.

The Samsung S90C is currently our favorite TV, and the price has dropped precipitously since the introduction of the 2024 models. Fortunately, these don’t make the S90C any worse of a TV. It still offers a wonderful experience with the high contrast and color gamut of its OLED panel. It’s elegantly designed as well.

Amazon
Amazon is so enthusiastic about big sales events like Memorial Day that it’s even made a few sales events of its own. Of course, it’s not missing out on the other big ones, and it has some truly deep discounts available for Memorial Day. And if you’re a Prime member, you can enjoy fast shipping on many of its deals.
The Vizio M50QXM-K01 has become something of a budget option with a couple of years behind it now. But that doesn’t stop it from offering some quality features. It features full-array local dimming to boost its contrast, and it offers a wide color gamut. Gamers can also benefit from its 120Hz refresh rate at 4K or use a 240Hz mode for 1080p gaming on this 50-inch model, and that all comes alongside VRR support.
Hisense’s U6K has long been a favorite budget TV of ours, but the U6N provides some updates without seeing the price balloon substantially. You’ll get a large TV with full-array local dimming from Mini-LED backlights alongside support for Dolby Vison IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive.
The XGIMI Horizon Pro has long been favored here at CNN Underscored. It’s a competent, affordable little 4K projector that makes it easy to pop-up a big-screen, cinematic experience wherever you feel like. It has a built-in Smart TV operating system, intelligent image-correction tools and respectable built-in speakers. If you’re shopping for a TV but aren’t sure you want to commit to something so big and heavy, a projector like this could be just the ticket.

B&H Photo and Video
B&H Photo and Video provides a wide range of electronics, though when it comes to A/V equipment, it puts an emphasis on upper-tier products. So while you might not be able to find budget TVs here during the Memorial Day sale, it’s always worth taking a look at the discounts B&H can offer on premium models.
One way to save on a TV is to go for a smaller model, and then you can save even more when that smaller model is also on sale, just as the 48-inch LG Evo C3 is. This brings the price of this excellent OLED TV down just below $1,000. Still, you’ll get the awe-inspiring contrast of its OLED panel and a wide color gamut, plus a 120Hz refresh rate that’s great for gaming.
World Wide Stereo
Like B&H, World Wide Stereo also focused more on premium home theater equipment. But it still takes part in the big sales events. So, if you’re looking for a high-end TV or perhaps something a little different, like a premium home theater projector that can fit the same purpose, World Wide Stereo is a good place to look.
Our favorite TV, the Samsung S90C, has been updated to the S90D. And you can get a deal on this new model for Memorial Day. It still delivers an excellent picture, thanks to its OLED display, much like the S90C before it. It doesn’t change too much from the S90C, though it’s a bit brighter, which could be reason enough to choose this over last year’s model.
The Hisense PX2-Pro isn’t a TV, but it fits the same role. This ultra-short-throw projector sits right in front of your wall and beams up an image anywhere from 80 to 120 inches in size. It’s bright, but you’ll still want to close the blinds and dim the lights for the best experience. And where it really shines is its color gamut, which is incredible thanks to its use of an RGB laser light source. It also comes with built-in speakers and Google TV. While it makes some trade-offs compared to TVs, a projector like this proves much easier to move around than even a 55-inch TV.
