'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

How did we choose these TV deals?
When we selected our favorite TV deals, we took into consideration a number of factors including:
- Price: We chose TVs on sale with robust discounts since larger screen sizes and OLED models can get fairly expensive -- even with sales. However, we've also included budget-friendly models that have a comparatively decent discount based on percentages, even though the amount saved might be low.
- Screen sizes: We also chose a variety of screen sizes from brands like Samsung, Sony, TCL, and LG to suit different spaces and budgets.
- Display technologies: We ensured that all manner of display technologies were represented in our list, from affordable LED devices to high-spec QLED and OLED models.
- Inside and outside use: While the majority of the deal options we have listed are for inside use, we have also included some models that are suitable for the outdoors -- perfect for gatherings and sports events.
What is better for my space -- QLED or OLED models?
It depends on your space. In a nutshell, QLED models are designed for a brighter viewing area. OLEDs on the other hand offer a more cinematic experience for nighttime viewing or darkened spaces. ZDNET expert Michael Gariffo goes into much more detail here.
