The Sony Bravia A80L is one of the newest OLED models from the brand, offering exclusive gaming optimization features for the PlayStation 5 which include improved input latency and VRR support. You'll also get Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio+ which turns the screen into a speaker for near-perfect video and audio syncing as well as sound that follows the on-screen action.
The Hisense U8K proves itself as a worthy contender against brands like Samsung and LG. It features a mini-LED panel with Dolby Vision IQ support as well as up to a 144Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for console gaming.
The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED is an almost-perfect choice for anyone who is an avid Alexa user or has moved to exclusively streaming their entertainment. The Fire TV platform gives you access to the entire Prime Video catalog as well as to thousands of other streaming apps. You can also download Alexa Skills to your TV to turn it into the ultimate entertainment hub.

It also has exclusive optimization features for the PlayStation 5, making them the perfect pair to upgrade your gaming space.
The best Samsung TV deal for Prime Big Deal Days is the 32-inch The Frame TV, one of ZDNET's picks for the best Samsung TVs. The Frame is a QLED 4K TV, with an anti-reflection matte display to limit glare day and night, and also blends into your decor to look like a piece of artwork. You can find all sizes on sale right now for October Prime Day.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event (also known as October Prime Day) will take place on October 10th through the 11th.
Exclusive deals and discounts for Prime members go live at 3 a.m. ET and will refresh as often as every 30 minutes during the event.
While combing through Amazon Prime Day deals as well as deals from other retailers, I kept these criteria in mind:
My pick for the best TV is the Samsung QN90C for its Object Tracking Sound and Dolby Atmos support, which creates audio that follows the on-screen action. It also features an anti-glare coating on the screen for better visibility in bright rooms or overhead lighting. And if you ever feel like the picture quality needs fine-tuning, you can use the Smart Calibration app to tweak color, contrast, and color temperature.
