22 Labor Day TV Deals To Shop Before They Expire

Today’s wide array of Labor Day TV sales makes it the perfect time to upgrade your TV. From the more affordable, smaller LED screens, right up to the massive, cutting edge OLEDs, you can save hundreds of dollars on a new HD TV—as long as you know the right places to shop.

During Best Buy's Labor Day TV sale, you can save $300 on the LG 55-inch Class A1 Series OLED Best Buy

This is the year where OLED technology really came into its own, too, offering brighter displays, improved burn-in protection, and all the same fantastic response times and infinite contrast of their predecessors. LEDs are catching up, though, with some of the new Mini-LED TVs delivering fantastic contrast in their own right, with the more nuanced local zone dimming providing an exquisite HDR experience — fantastic for movie viewers and gamers alike.

Whatever kind of TV you're after and whatever budget you're working with, this year’s Labor Day TV sales have something for everyone. Be sure to click “add to cart” sooner rather than later, though, as many of the best Labor Day sales end at midnight tonight. Below, find the best TV deals available right now.

The Best Labor Day TV Deals To Shop Today

Samsung QN900A 8K 75-inch QLED

Amazon

SAMSUNG 75-Inch Class Neo QLED 8K QN900A Series - 8K UHD

The Samsung QN900A is the best 8K TV in the world thus far in 2021, and it's a real treat to see it so heavily discounted this Labor Day. It's available in sizes from 65-inches, right the way up to 85-inches, but the 75-inch model hits that sweet spot between size, performance, and affordability — especially with its new sale price.

Not only is this TV full 8K resolution, but it upscales content really well too. It also enjoys a high refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, and a low response time and input lag, making it fantastic for super-big-screen gaming. Only the most powerful graphics cards can hope to play games at 8K, but with this TV, it's an option, and it looks phenomenal.


Sony X91J 85-inch OLED

Amazon

Sony X91J 85" LED 4K TV

Sony's OLED TVs are right up there with LG's best when it comes to a high-quality picture and impressive features, and the X91J is one of the best ones available — especially if you're looking for an absolutely huge TV this Labor Day. It doesn't have the cutting-edge XR processor on some of Sony's higher-end models, but it is a noticeable improvement over its 900H predecessor, adding support for variable refresh rates and auto low-latency mode. Considering its sizable discount, this is one of the best Labor Day TV deals out there, and makes it one of the best buys for those wanting a massive OLED TV experience.


Sony Bravia XR A80J 77-inch OLED

Best Buy

Sony 77" BRAVIA XR A80J OLED

For a more high-end Sony OLED TV, this Bravia XR A80J is also one of the best Labor Day TV deals out there. Slashing $1,000 from this gorgeous TV makes it an absolute steal. It's 77-inches of self-lit OLED technology, delivering a near-infinite contrast ratio, decent brightness, super low input lag and response time, and a high refresh rate. This makes it one of the best gaming TVs out there right now, and its stellar for movies and TV too.

LG C1 55-inch OLED

LG

LG C1 55-inch OLED

LG's C1 is a cutting-edge OLED TV that launched this year, and though it doesn't have the new Evo panel of LG's flagship G1 TVs, it ticks every other box possible, making it one of the best TVs you can buy this Labor Day. It's also arguably the best TV for gaming, with a super fast response time, near-zero input lag, and support for both AMD Freesync and Nvidia G-Sync. You’ll get four HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting multiple new-generation games consoles, plus support for 120Hz at 4K resolution.

As an OLED, this TV offers a near-infinite contrast ratio and super rich colors. It's not the brightest TV out there, but that just means you'll make the most of it in darker rooms, making it a great TV for a cinema-like movie watching experience too.


LG NanoCell 90 86-inch LED

Best Buy

LG 86" Class NanoCell 90 Series LED TV

If you're set on a big screen LED TV, this LG NanoCell 90 model is a good pick this Labor Day. It offers good peak brightness, with a massive LED display that has great color saturation. You’ll enjoy a 120Hz refresh rate with variable refresh rate support, which is a real boon for gamers—especially considering its HDMI 2.1 support.

This TV isn't the best for HDR content with its weak native contrast ratio, but its brightness can make it a better pick for well-lit rooms over some of the comparably priced OLEDs. It also isn't at risk of burn-in.


LG G1 65-inch OLED

Amazon

LG OLED G1 Series 65" Gallery Design 4K Evo TV

If you want the absolute best TV in the world right now, the LG G1 OLED is it. It's LG's cutting-edge OLED TV, with an improved Evo panel, which negates the problem of low OLED brightness and makes it a night and day experience. You can enjoy this OLED in much more brightly lit rooms, while still retaining great picture clarity and those gorgeous inky blacks. Colors are excellent, and with its fast response time and high refresh rate support, it's a great TV for gaming too.


Samsung A60A 75-inch QLED

Best Buy

Samsung 75" Class Q60A Series 4K TV

Getting a very big TV doesn't have to cost thousands. Samsung's Q60A is a monster of a TV with a much more affordable price tag thanks to this Labor Day TV sale. With Samsung's QLED technology, it enjoys impressively inky blacks for an LED TV, wide color gamut support, and a low input lag. It doesn't have the same response times and contrast ratio of high-end OLED TVs, but for a cheaper way to get a super big TV for movies and shows, it's a great pick.

Meanwhile, Amazon is offering 23% off last year’s model of the Samsung 82” Class QLED Q60T. The MSRP of this TV is typically $2,200, but you’ll save $502 if you purchase it from Amazon and take advantage of free Amazon Prime delivery. This is the perfect size TV (if your home can accommodate it) for creating an immersive home theater.


LG CX OLED 55-inch (Renewed)

Amazon

LG CX 55" 4K Smart OLED TV

The LG CX was 2020's king of the hill TVs, and it still holds up compared to the best TVs of this year. It has a fantastic contrast ratio, low input lag, high refresh rate and amazing color clarity. It upscales content to 4K really well, and even remasters audio on the fly to make your favorite movies and TV shows sound better than ever. It also supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync.

This model is discounted as part of Amazon's Renewed scheme, so it's been professionally refurbished and rated as near-new. That's why you can get this set so cheaply, but note it may not be quite as perfect as a brand-new TV.


Samsung Q60T 82-inch LED

Amazon

SAMSUNG 82-inch Class QLED Q60T Series - 4K UHD Dual LED Quantum HDR Smart TV with Alexa Built-in

The Samsung Q60T is an entry-level 4K TV with modest features, but that makes it all the more affordable at enormous sizes. If you want a TV that covers almost your entire wall without breaking the bank, the Samsung Q60T is a great buy this Labor Day TV sale.

It gets plenty bright enough for daytime viewing, making it a solid option for TV watchers and it has an excellent contrast ratio, so looks pretty good in the dark too. It has a standard 60Hz refresh rate, but the low input lag makes it feel responsive when gaming, and it handles reflections well, so you don't need to fear open curtains the way you do with other TVs.


Sony XBR 800H 49-inch LED

Sony

Sony 49" XBR Bravia 800H LED TV

Labor Day TV deals aren't just focused on big-screen, $1,000 + TVs; you can also find great deals at the more affordable end of the spectrum. The Sony XBR 800H is a decent entry-level 4K TV that has great color support and brightness, so this TV is a good fit for daytime viewing. It enjoys low input lag and response times, making it a reasonable TV for gaming too.

Thanks to the Sony X1 processor, it does a good job of upscaling content, making this a great TV for watching older DVDs and 1080p Blu-rays on. Its contrast ratio isn't stellar, so don't expect the deepest of blacks, but it's a great all-round TV that's now at an even better price.


Samsung The Terrace 55” QLED Outdoor TV

Amazon

SAMSUNG 55-inch Class QLED The Terrace Outdoor TV

Samsung's The Terrace isn't a cheap TV, especially at its size, but when you realize that this TV is water-resistant, its price seems justified. It's designed to be left outside, day and night, rain or shine, and it does its job fantastically well. Not only is it IP55 rated—so even heavy rain shouldn't phase it—but it also gets exceedingly bright, with a peak brightness closing in on 2,000 nits—more than enough to make it easily viewable in the brightest of sun, and look amazing with HDR or SDR content at night.

It also enjoys a fantastic contrast ratio, low input lag and a high refresh rate, so it's great for gaming as well as watching movies, TV or sports. It's also substantially cheaper this Labor Day sale.


TCL 4-Series 55-inch LED

TCL

TCL 4-Series 55-inch LED TV

The TCL 4-Series doesn't pack heaps of features, but what it does give you is an credible picture with excellent contrast. It's rare to find good 4K TVs at 55-inches at even its standard price, so getting one for under $400 this Labor Day makes it a doubly great buy.

This is a TV that looks its best in darkened rooms and doesn't have the widest of viewing angles, so would be perfect for a big-screen in a bedroom or a more intimate cinema room. It doesn't have any dedicated gaming features, but enjoys a low input lag, so it feels responsive and won't hold you back in most situations.


Sony 75-inch X85J

Best Buy

Sony - 75-inch Class X85J Series LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV

At 75”, this LED 4K UHD screen is extra-large, so it’ll display truly lifelike images in your living room. It’s an ideal screen for creating a true home theater experience. The screen is backlit (with good light uniformity), but it’s best viewed head-on (as opposed to from an angle). At $600 off, this is a solid TV worth considering if you’re looking for a sharp 4K panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz. With 4 HDMI ports, a voice assistant and smart TV functionality built in, this is a well-rounded TV.


Samsung 43-inch The Frame TV

Best Buy

Samsung - 43-inch Class The Frame Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

Not every room in your home will be large enough for a 65” or larger screen. So if you’re looking for something in the 40” to 50” range, this Samsung is being offered at $100 off at Best Buy.

This 4K UHD QLED TV is part of Samsung’s sleek-looking Frame series, which means it’s designed to resemble a framed picture on your wall. It's also a Smart TV with built-in voice assistant and 4 HDMI ports. When not in use for watching TV shows or movies, you can subscribe to a service that displays famous works of art on the picture frame-like screen as a customizable screensaver. You can also use your own photos to transform the TV into a 43” digital picture frame.


Sony 43-inch X80J

Best Buy

Sony - 43-inch Class X80J Series LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV

Best Buy is offering a chance to save $150 off a current model (released in 2021) 43” LED 4K UHD smart TV from Sony. This is a mid-size, mid-priced option that’ll fit nicely in smaller rooms, yet offer a wonderful UHD viewing experience. At this price, it’s an excellent deal for a name brand TV that’s chock full of features, although it’s not cutting-edge technology. The refresh rate is just 60Hz, but it does have 4 HDMI ports and both the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in.


TCL 32-inch 32S331

Walmart

TCL 32-inch 32S331

The little brother of the 55-inch TV listed above, this smaller version won’t leave you missing out on any of the bells and whistles just because it comes in a smaller package.

BestBuy

Hisense - 60-inch Class A6G Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV

At nearly 30% off, this deal from Best Buy gives you a ton of bang for your buck. That’s thanks to built-in Android TV software and three different HDMI ports for all types of connectivity on a huge display that’s smart enough to listen to your voice commands. As one reviewer aptly puts it, “Hisense just may have created the most well-rounded TV in the proper price range suitable for most customers. The A6G provides features found in more expensive panels as standard features.”

LG 55-inch Class A1 Series OLED

It has an auto low-latency mode, which allows broadcasters to reduce the delay between their broadcast and what you see at home, and is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa.


Samsung 43-Inch Sero 4K Rotating Smart TV

Samsung Electronics America

Samsung 43-Inch Sero 4K Rotating Smart TV

Upon first glance this Samsung TV looks more like a smart mirror due to its vertical design, but it’s really a rotating display that can play TV, videos, games and movies both vertically and horizontally. If you want, it can mirror your phone, allowing you to scroll through TikTok, Facebook or Youtube on the 43-inch-wide screen. “Sharing my phone screen with my TV rotated to vertical is unlike anything I've ever had. This TV is entirely unique and the picture is gorgeous. I wasn't sure how I would like the rotating screen but it's so easy I love it,” says one reviewer. Others point out that the free-standing, rotating design makes the Sero easy to tuck out of the way when not in use.
