5 Great Big-Screen HDTV Deals
LG 60LF6100
Talk about price fluctuations on HDTV deals—this 60-inch LG 60LF6100 set, now selling for about $850 at a number of stores, was only $680 at Walmart last week, but it’s now out of stock at that retailer. The set is a 1080p LED LCD TV that offers very good high-definition picture quality, though it lacks the wider-than-average viewing angle we see on most LG sets. Although it doesn’t come with LG’s cool gesture-based Magic Remote, you can buy the remote control as an option and use it with set.
Vizio E65-C3
Over the past few years, Vizio has almost become synonymous with TV bargains. The 60-inch Vizio E60-C3, a 1080p LED LCD TV, is another winner offered at a great price for a set this size. Although it’s selling for about $1,000 at Amazon, you can get it for $700 at a number of retailers, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The TV boasts excellent high-definition picture quality and a lot of features but its sound was only fair, so consider spending some of the money you’re saving on a decent sound bar. If you’re looking for a slightly larger set, its 65-inch sibling—the Vizio E65-C3—can be had for about $100 more.
Samsung UN60J6200
While many outlets are selling this 60-inch 1080p LED LCD TV for about $1,000, it’s only $800 at P.C. Richard. The Samsung UN60J6200, a model in the series just below the J6300 sets, delivers very good high-definition picture quality, and it does a great job reducing motion blur. It has fewer features than the JS6300-series sets, including only two HDMI inputs, fewer than most sets this size.
Samsung UN60JU6500
Looking for a 60-inch 4K UHD TV? We had a tough choice picking between the Samsung UN60JU6500 model and the LG 60UF7700, which are both selling for about $1,300. The Samsung gets the nod thanks to slightly better HD picture quality and UHD performance, which were both excellent, though the LG had a wider viewing angle. The set is in Samsung’s mainstream UHD series for 2015, and in many ways it’s like the JU6700-series sets, except with a flat, rather than curved, screen.
Sony Bravia XBR-65X930C
Yes, few people would call a $2,500 TV a bargain, but you might if you knew this set—one of our top-rated TVs in 2015—was selling for $1,000 more just two months ago. The 65-inch Sony Bravia XBR-65X930C set delivers excellent high-definition picture quality and excellent UHD performance, and unlike many leftover 2015 4K TVs, this will support HDR content. And as you might imagine from the big honking speaker arrays flanking the screen, the TV has great sound, so you won’t need a sound bar. (You can even add an external subwoofer if you need more sonic oomph.) Like other Internet-enabled Sony TVs from last year, it uses Google’s Android TV smart TV platform.
