Is Amazon running a July 4th sale?
Amazon isn’t likely to run a specific, site-wide sale for Independence Day, as the annual Prime Day sale kicks off on July 8. But you’re likely to find markdowns on both high-end and budget-friendly TVs anyway, as brands like Samsung, LG, and Hisense are already offering discounts in the lead-up to Prime Day. Walmart has already announced July 4th markdowns across the site, though it’s mostly home goods like clothing, bed linens, and seasonal summer items. There are a few tech deals available, but we may have to wait until July 4th itself to see the best TV deals go live. Best Buy is planning on running a Black Friday in July sale to compete with Prime Day, with early markdowns available across the site on everything you need to upgrade your home theater.
Is July 4th a good time to buy a TV?Â
While most July 4th sales are focused on moving inventory for seasonal items and home goods, with the holiday being so close to the usual time frame for Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale event, as well as competing sales from Best Buy and other retailers. However, you can expect to find early markdowns on TVs from big brands like LG and Sony as well as mid-range options like Hisense, TCL, and even Roku.Â
What is the best TV?Â
I’ve chosen the Samsung S95D as my pick for the best TV that you can buy overall in 2025. With signature OLED picture quality as well as a max refresh rate of 144Hz, you’ll experience smoother action and more lifelike images. And with both Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound and Samsung’s object-tracking sound technology, you’ll get 3D audio that follows the on-screen action.Â
Though if you’d like to ask the audience, ZDNET readers have gravitated toward the LG G4 OLED as their number one fan-favorite TV. And it’s easy to see why with its incredible picture quality, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision HDR support, as well as support for both AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync VRR for console gaming.
