Presidents’ Day is Monday (hello, three-day weekend), and with it, one of the earliest chances you’ll have in 2024 to invest in major tech at a discount. The weekend has historically brought savings on top TV picks from Sony, Samsung, and other brands that are usually pretty expensive. Even if you’re not looking to spend close to top dollar but still want an upgrade, brands like Hisense and Amazon are offering deals on their budget-friendly screens that are worth considering.
We’ve found the best Presidents’ Day TV deals running right now for up to $1,300 off a new screen.
There are discounts on QLED, OLED, 4K, and even 8K picks that make getting a new, high quality screen before the Super Bowl or your next movie night more attainable. Now that official Presidents’ Day promotions are dropping, we recommend shopping quickly since these discounts aren’t likely to last long.

Presidents’ Day Samsung TV Deals
The Frame is one of Samsung’s most talked-about offerings, as the TV doubles as tech and decor. It features a 4K QLED display with a matte screen, making it a smart pick for rooms that get lots of light. When you set the TV to Art Mode, it displays a picture or work of your choosing, blending in with the rest of your home. You even have the option to choose bezels in different colors and materials.
While we know and like Samsung’s impressive QLED lineup, this OLED pick is not to be ignored. For movie lovers, the deep, inky blacks provide exceptional contrast. The 144-Hz refresh rate provides smooth motion that’s great for action scenes. We recommend pairing the Class S90C with a sound bar for a built-out home theater experience—in our evaluation, the TV’s speakers weren’t the best.
For gamers, this Samsung is a powerhouse due to the advanced QLED technology that creates vivid, rich, and accurate colors. The 4K resolution lends games a crisp clarity. Switch the TV into gaming mode to optimize performance settings for minimal motion blur and judder. Of course, when you’re not playing, the TV’s UHD screen leaves movies and shows looking clear and bright.
A step up from a 4K screen, 8K picture quality takes things to the next level. This Samsung TV has 1.5 times more lighting zones than the Quantum Matrix technology in the brand’s 4K TVs, which elevates color, contrast, and detail. The screen also features Auto HDR Remastering, boosting the brightness and resolution of standard content. And this TV is at home in sunny living rooms and dens with its anti-glare screen.

A 65-inch screen is broad enough for immersive viewing, especially when paired with Sony’s display technology. The brand’s TVs run pricey, so a 65-inch pick under $1,500 is worth considering. The Full Array LED display creates a lifelike and colorful picture, while the Google TV interface affords quick access to apps and streaming services. It also features Acoustic Multi-Audio and support for Dolby Atmos.
This Sony TV features blur-free technology for a rich, immersive viewing experience. The 50-inch screen is a great starter for apartments or teens, or if you’re working with a smaller space for your movie nights. You’ll enjoy natural yet super-crisp picture quality (you can thank the 120-Hz refresh rate for that), as well as Google TV app accessibility to over 700,000 pieces of content. Plus, it’s under $700 for a more affordable buy.

When it comes to the best cheap TVs, Hisense’s U6 lineup takes the cake. It might be a budget-friendly screen, but you’re not losing out on quality and features. The affordable option is a good pick for gamers since it boasts four HDMI ports to hook up multiple consoles. The 55-inch model also offers clear 4K resolution with its mini-LEDs, providing a brighter all-around image while you play. Of course, that bright image is nice when bingeing shows and watching movies, too.
The Hisense U7 series features Filmmaker mode, which gives you a better experience while you’re catching up on Oscar nominations. This disables post-processing (motion smoothing) and preserves settings like aspect ratios, frame rates, and colors. The standard viewing is just as solid, thanks to the brand’s proprietary ULED technology that creates bright and bold visuals. All that is paired with a 144-Hz refresh rate for smooth motion during action movies and sports games, creating a well-rounded screen for less than $1,000.
This is the best overall deal on a Hisense screen we’re seeing right now. Another TV with a 144-Hz refresh rate, this U8 series option features a latency-cutting Game Mode for clear graphics, plus Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. When you’re switching to viewing mode instead of gaming mode, the 55-inch model has a Google TV interface for easy navigation to apps. You also get hands-free voice control by simply saying, “Hey, Google.”

The 4-Series is a budget-friendly find that’s a great choice for kids’ rooms and college dorms. Plug gaming equipment into one of the four HDMI ports, stream movies, or watch sports and enjoy the clear 4K UHD picture. Simply pressing a button on the remote gives you access to voice control with Alexa over the pre-installed Fire TV interface. If you’re looking for an under $500 pick, Amazon’s 4-Series is a smart purchase.
As QLED screens become more popular, it’s becoming easier to find the display technology at more affordable prices. Still, it can be difficult to score a solid QLED screen under $1,000, but Amazon has quality TVs at lower costs. The QLED Omni Series features adaptive brightness that adjusts levels based on the lighting of the room. You can also go hands-free and use voice control with Alexa. The number of dimming zones is dependent on the size, and this model ranges from 43 inches to 75 inches.
You can skip picking up the remote with this Fire TV, thanks to the built-in microphones that allow you to utilize Alexa for full voice control. The screen has a 60-Hz refresh rate, a direct LED backlight, HLG, HDR 10, and Dolby Vision to enhance viewing, whether it’s a game or movie. This is another affordable buy that doesn’t pack tons of the newest technology but gets the job done for a modest upgrade.
