The best July 4th TV deals: Up to 50% off Samsung, Sony, and more

What day does July 4 fall on this year? 

Independence Day itself falls on a Saturday this year, but many businesses and government agencies may be closed on July 3 to observe the holiday.

Are TVs really cheaper during July 4 sales?

Absolutely! Almost every TV brand, from LG to TCL, offers some sort of discount on its lineup of flagship, mid-range, and budget models. This means you can save hundreds, or even thousands, on an upgrade for your living room and home theater, or on a modest second screen for your bedroom.

How did we choose these July 4 deals?

Not all deals are created equal. I chose only the steepest discounts from the best-known TV brands to showcase in this list to help readers find the best deals on the right TV for their space. I've also focused on TVs that I and other ZDNET experts have been able to do hands-on testing with.
