Today’s TV landscape can seem like a confusing place, especially if you’re a first-time buyer or looking to make a long-overdue upgrade. With similar acronyms like LED, OLED, and QLED all competing for your attention, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of tech jargon.

Don’t worry, we at Savvy are here to help you wade through the puzzling language so you can find the TV that fits your needs. But before we dig into the best TV deals in 2021, let’s quickly demystify some of the terms you are likely to come across in your search for the perfect TV.

  • Understanding LED: Virtually all modern TVs use some form of LED (light-emitting diode) technology. The bottom line is that any “LED TV" has an LCD (liquid-crystal display) panel with LED backlighting. The notable exception is the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TV, which actually produces its own light through a dedicated OLED panel, thus removing the need for a backlight. The result is groundbreaking visual contrast in an ultra-slim design.
  • Understanding Resolution: Simply put, the higher the resolution, the more pixels your screen has, and the sharper your image will be. For example, TVs with 4K will have higher resolution than those with 720P.

Now that we’ve brushed up on our specs, let’s take a look at the top TV deals below. With newer TV models always lurking around the corner, it’s quite common for current models to go on sale throughout the year. Both Best Buy and Walmart carry a large selection of some of the finest options out there today, so make sure to always check their pricing as you research for your next TV.

LG 65-inch GX Series OLED

Best Deals Today

Pros
  • Super-sleek design
  • Industry-leading OLED contrast
  • VRR (variable refresh rate) technology
Cons
  • Higher-end pricing
  • Somewhat reflective surface

If you want your TV to double as a piece of art, look no further than the LG GX Series OLED. Its sleek, picture-on-wall design will wow any guest, while its OLED technology will rival any premium theater-going experience. Complete with Dolby Vision, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, this smart TV has it all, including VRR technology, making it ideal for gaming. If price isn’t a concern, this is a must-have.

LG 65-inch CX Series OLED

Best Deals Today

Pros
  • Ultra-thin design
  • Industry-leading OLED contrast
  • Incredible off-angle viewing
Cons
  • Lacks HDR10+ support
  • Susceptible to burn-in

If you’re looking for a slightly more affordable LG option, consider the CX series. Its OLED technology provides unbeatable contrast, from the blackest of blacks (perfect for those movie scenes with low lighting) to the brightest of whites. There are concerns that OLED panels are susceptible to burn-in, meaning an image repeated over considerable lengths of time may leave a lasting mark on the screen. Though we believe the concern is probably overstated, it’s a good idea to check the warranty on any OLED TV.

Comparable to the LG CX Series, the VIZIO OLED 4K has the same infinite contrast capabilities that are synonymous with OLED technology at a price that is currently lower than the LG model.
