Unlike a lot of other tech, the best TVs are always coming down in price. Some of our favourite 4K OLED TVs from brands like LG, Samsung and Hisense can now be picked up for under £1,000, while deals on even cheaper sets can be found for less than £200.
With prices varying so wildly, it can be hard to spot a genuine discount in all the noise. Our expert guide to the best TV deals this May will help you spot the offers worth caring about on a new TV you’ll love.
If you’re not sure which type of set is right for you, keep in mind that bigger doesn’t always mean better. Ultra HD (4K) is now the standard for most broadcasts, especially on streaming platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV+. For a while, they were prohibitively expensive but today, most good 4K TVs are cheaper than you might think – you can find decent ultra HD televisions for less than £600.
The new standard of 4K also means ‘full HD’ televisions have become bargain-basement fodder. They have half the detail of a 4K TV, but even massive sets can be picked up for less than £200. These make ideal TVs for bedrooms and other places you wouldn’t regularly sit down to watch.
For each discount, we’ve highlighted the best deal on the most popular size of TV – but the same deal can often be found on larger or smaller sets. Click around the find the right size for your home, and make sure you measure your space before buying.

The rich, 120Hz, 4K display has support for Nvidia G-sync and AMD FreeSync, meaning less stuttering during fast-paced games. At £649, it’s the best bargain in 55in TVs right now.

You get the same superb Amazon smart TV streaming experience, the Alexa voice remote, and a full set of the most popular streaming apps and services.

Why you can trust us
Our team of IndyBest experts is constantly scanning the internet for the best prices on top-rated televisions. We look out for discounts on the most popular sets from trustworthy brands, as well as deals on TVs across a range of different sizes to suit different budgets.
How to know if a TV deal is worth it
You’ll often see TVs on sale with giant discounts that look too good to be true. That’s because most retailers are comparing their current price to the price the television launched at, even years later.
We monitor price changes over time to get an understanding of the true average price of TVs, then compare retailers’ discounts to this average price rather than the outdated RRP. That’s how we can be sure you’re getting a good deal on a great television.
