Best time to buy TVs — without falling for a fake discount
TVs have the most theatrical fake discounts of any category — a “40% off” that’s really the everyday price. Timing and a real price check are everything.
When TVs tend to be cheapest
The genuine lows are Black Friday, the weeks before the Super Bowl (late January–early February), and Prime Day. New panels arrive in spring, dropping the prior year’s models to real lows.
How to tell a real deal from a fake one
A “was $X” on a TV is frequently a price it never actually held. The only honest signal is the current price versus its real recorded history — that’s exactly what we check.
The honest signal is simple: is the current price genuinely low against the item’s own price research — or just below a made-up list price? Paste any product and we’ll tell you straight: BUY, WAIT, SKIP or FAIR.
