I spend most of the year testing and reviewing the newest TVs from brands like LG, Hisense and Samsung. But when a major sales event like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon Prime Day rolls around, I swap my TV-testing cap for a deals-hunting hat.On the eve of Amazon's biggest sale of the year, I typically tell folks to keep two things in mind: The best TV deals tend to be attached to year-old models, and many of those deals are available days before Prime Day even begins.With this in mind, I spent my week tracking all of the top TV deals available at Amazon ahead of Prime Day and plucked out the nine worth shopping. There's something here for every budget, including my favorite deal of the bunch, the 55-inch Roku Plus Series for just $368.Quick Linksshop all smart TV deals at Amazon from $69Roku 55" Plus Series 4K Mini-LED TV: was $499 now $368Hisense 55" U65QF 4K Mini-LED TV: was $547 now $397TCL 55" QM7K 4K Mini-LED TV: was $677 now $597LG 55" B5 4K OLED TV: was $999 now $899Hisense 65" U8QG 4K Mini-LED TV: was $1,199 now $997Samsung 55" S90F 4K OLED TV: was $1,299 now $997Hisense 75" U75QG 4K Mini-LED TV: was $1,999 now $1,197LG 65” C5 4K OLED TV: was $2,699 now $1,399TCL 65" QM8L 4K SQD Mini-LED TV: was $2,499 now $1,799My top early Prime Day TV deals
