Walmart is always great for finding some excellent TV deals, especially since they offer a range of prices from the budget to the premium. In fact, that’s what we’ve tried to do here, collecting some of the best TV deals we’ve found on Walmart at various prices. Whether you’re looking for something that’s truly a budget TV but has some good features and picture quality, or a higher-end TV that works for both watching stuff and gaming, there’s a little bit of something for everybody.
The M6 also has the variety of convenience features you’d expect for a TV at this price point, such as a remote with a built-in microphone, support for AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, and the standard streaming apps from Netflix to Disney+. It also supports Dolby Digital+ and AC-4 codecs, which provide some great audio overall, so this is a nice screen if you enjoy watching concerts, although adding something from our soundbar deals probably would help quite a bit.
If you’re looking for a top-notch budget TV and can put down the money for it, the M6 is the one to go for, especially as a great all-rounder TV at the 65-inch size that supports 4k UHD.
Samsung 70-inch Class 7-series — $648, was $750
Why Buy
Good upscaling
Great contrast ratio
Reasonable response time
Excellent price for the size
What sets this Samsung 7-series apart from other TVs in this tier is its size, especially without giving up a lot of features. A 70-inch TV at sub $700 is something to write home about, and the fact that it comes from Samsung is impressive, even though their Crystal UHD technology is a step down from the traditional QLED that you tend to see branded on everything. If you prefer one of those, you can check out our best QLED TV deals, but for this Samsung one, the 4k resolution and support for HDR, HDR 10+, and HLG, are still pretty good all around. Another positive is that it has amazing black uniformity, which is always a big plus, especially if you tend to watch many shows or movies that take place at night or dusk, such as horror movies.
When it comes to gaming, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. It has a pretty low input lag, but the response times are a bit up there, up to 18ms in some circumstances, so fast-paced games or anything with a lot of action might end up with blurry images, which is unfortunate. Much like the other screens, this screen is probably better suited to slower-paced games, such as puzzles or simulations. Still, the overall picture quality is great, with crisp lines, no weird artifacts, even with fast-paced action, and very little, although somewhat noticeable, blurring. That being said, there is one downside in that the viewing angles aren’t great, so if you’re having guests over, it’s best to have them sit near or next to you, so they get the same type of viewing experience.
Finally, the 7 series runs on Samsung’s Tizen smart platform, but it does have the myriad of streaming services you’d expect. The remote is also relatively convenient, with Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video buttons, although it doesn’t have a built-in mic.
All in all, the Samsung 70-inch Class 7-series is a great general TV with some nice images, although its primary selling point is being a 70-inch TV that costs so little.
TCL 75-inch Class 4-Series — $698, was $1,300
Why Buy
Accurate color reproduction
Excellent contrast
Great Roku interface
Good 4k upscaling
It’s not often you see a 70-inch screen in the sub $1,000 range, so it’s even more impressive to see a 75-inch TV under that price, although there are some compromises here and there to get it at that point. For example, it does lack a little bit in the brightness performance, meaning that HDR content is not the greatest to watch on it, a common issue with budget TVs, so not something that should be a dealbreaker. Even with the brightness issue, the overall performance is still excellent, with some great contrast ratio from the VA panel tech. It also has some pretty good reflection protection, so even in somewhat bright rooms, you should be dealing with any glares, although, as mentioned earlier, the brightness doesn’t get high enough to overcome a lot of it.
For gaming, it’s reasonably good, especially given the lower input lag, although response times are a little on the high side, which may cause blurring, another issue that tends to happen with budget monitors. As such, it’s not going to be great for console gaming or high-paced gaming, and is going to provide middling performance for watching sports. That being said, it would work well as a PC monitor and generally works better for PC gaming, especially if you don’t play anything with lots of action.
As for the other features, the smart TV aspect is the best, given that it runs on Roku, and Roku is pretty powerful, with all the streaming apps you’d expect. It also has a pretty great mobile app, and the remote is pretty small and streamlined, too, although it would have been better with a built-in mic. You’ll have probably noticed that it doesn’t support Chromecast or AirPlay, although truthfully, that doesn’t detract from the user experience given the design and build of the Roku platform. It also comes with Wi-Fi 5 and an ethernet, giving you various options for connecting your TV to the internet.
At the end of the day, where this 75-inch TV works best is for watching movies or shows in a dark or dimly lit room. You can also do some PC gaming on it, provided that you enjoy slower gamers, and console gaming might be a bit difficult unless you’re running a PS4 with its 60Hz refresh rate cap, and if you do, you could check out some of the best PS4 games you can play right now for some ideas.
Samsung 55-inch Class — $848, was $1,000
Why Buy
Really low input lag
Impressively high contrast ratio
Great color balancing
Good for gaming
It may throw you off that this Samsung 55-inch is more expensive than the 70-inch one and even more expensive than the 75-inch TCL one, but the truth is that you’re paying more money for more features. For example, while it may be smaller, it does manage to hit a 120hz refresh rate, and combined with the incredibly low input lag and reasonable response time, it makes this TV good for any type of gaming. That means even PS5 gamers, with all the best PS5 games, or PC gamers who enjoy action games can get a lot out of this screen, making this a great investment if you also really enjoy gaming and want a multi-purpose TV. It also has Freesync, another huge plus that tilts it towards an excellent purchase.
The HDR is also pretty good on this screen, especially since it doesn’t have the same brightness issues as other TVs on this list, although it still isn’t perfect. That being said, you can still watch stuff in brighter rooms, especially with its above-average handling of glare and reflections. One thing that would have been nice is a slightly more extensive color range, but it’s not a dealbreaker, and the overall color balancing is still pretty excellent.
In terms of convenience, we can finally say that this Samsung TV remote has a mic, which is great since the TV supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. That’s going to be useful given the dozens of streaming apps available for you to use, and even though the remote does have some convenience buttons, it’s still best to use with voice. It also has a pretty good 4k upscaling processor, which is great if you like to watch older content or content that mostly comes in 1080p or 1440p.
While the Samsung 55-inch Class is pretty expensive and not as big as the 70-inch or 75-inch, it’s probably the best screen of the lot if you want it for a little bit of everything. Gaming on it is a peach, as is watching action-packed shows and sports, and even the HDR content is great on it, even if the peak brightness could have been a little better. In fact, this is probably one of our favorite Samsung TV deals.
