Amazon Prime Day 2018: best 4K TV deals

Looking for a cheap 4K TV? Amazon’s Prime Day is here to save your living room. If you’re still living in the dark ages of full HD, there’s never been a better time to snap up a great deal on a 4K TV, with deals on everything from 55in OLEDs to 43in sets for more modest lounges. We’ve picked out the best deals going, so all you need to do is dig out your credit card and get ready to shop…

Philips 55POS9002 (save £300)

The Philips 55POS9002 was a bit of a surprise hit at the back end of last year, and the fact we’re seeing a swathe of 2018 TVs enter our testing rooms hasn’t taken the shine off of this OLED beauty – particularly at this price. Using an LG panel (as all OLEDs do), the Philips 9002 somehow managed to produce a punchier picture than what LG’s sets themselves were capable of, all while improving on the HDR performance of the excellent Sony A1. This is a TV that demands attention, and now more than ever.

LG SK8000 (Save up to £729)

As the entry-level set from LG’s top-end 2018 LCD range, the SK8000 uses the company’s fancy Nano Cell technology, and packs in Dolby Vision HDR support, the company’s new a7 processor and ThinQ AI smarts. It’s edge lit only, so won’t offer the contrast of the full-array sets higher up the range, but promises vibrant colour from any angle thanks to the Nano Cell technology’s ability to absorb unwanted light, boosting the purity of reds and greens in the process. Pick from 49in, 55in and 65in to suit your room (or budget).

Sony Bravia KD43XF8096BU (Save £232)

The KD43XF8096BU is a stepping stone between the premium and budget sets of Sony’s line-up, so you still get all of Sony’s Triluminos colour and 4K X-Reality Pro processing, but eagle eyes are likely to spot a few picture and motion processing differences due to the set’s 50Hz panel. Still, you get the same excellent Android Nougat smart system built in as Sony’s expensive sets, and its 30% cheaper price tag than normal will help take the sting out of any other things that are missing.

Hisense H50A6200UK (Save £110)

Hisense has become a go-to brand for a decent, cheap 4K TV, and one of its 50in bargain sets is even cheaper now, thanks to Prime Day. The A6200 sits towards the top of the company’s UHD Certified range, offering direct backlighting, HDR10 and HLG support, a 60Hz panel and Hisense’s VIDAA U smart TV interface. It also comes with Freeview Play built in. Its design might be a bit on the plasticky side, but at this price, there looks to be very little to argue with.

LG UK6300 (Save up to £301)

Sitting just below LG’s flagship “Super UHD” Nano Cell sets is its mid-range lineup of Ultra HD tellies, and starting things off there is the UK6300. This 2018 set follows on from last year’s popular UJ6300, but adds in HDR10 and LG’s ThinQ AI technology. It also upgrades LG’s built-in webOS smart TV system to the more recent 4.0, and promises a really low input lag, which makes it a great choice for gamers. Take your pick from 49in, 55in and 65in – they’re all on sale.

Toshiba 65U5863DB (Save up to £149)

Toshiba’s staging a comeback this year and it’s taking aim at the budget 4K TV market. That means you can get a big-screen TV without the big-screen price tag, and this 65in version is now another £150 cheaper thanks Prime Day. The specs sounds pretty promising too – backing up its 4K TV know-how is Dolby Vision HDR, Freeview Play, built-in Alexa support and speakers tuned by hi-fi kings Onkyo. Don’t have the room for a 65in set? You’ll find deals on 43in, 49in and 55in sizes too.
